history

Early history

During construction work in 1984, the remains of a ceramic ribbon settlement from around 4500 BC and the Münchshöfen culture around 4000 BC were found.

The place owes its name Furth probably to a road that crossed the wide valley and could have been laid out at the time when the Counts of Ebersberg wanted to create a transport connection between their two domains of Tondorf and Pfeffenhausen. The place is first mentioned in a document with “Marktwart de Furte”, who testifies to the donation of a farm to the Ebersberg monastery around 1030 .

Incorporations

On January 1, 1972, the previously independent municipality of Schatzhofen was incorporated. The community seal also contains the sword of their church patron St. Michael . As one of the oldest parishes in the district, it goes back to at least the 8th century.

Arth joined on May 1, 1978. This place can also look back on a long history. Donation deeds from the years 814 and 822 indicate a manorial rule in this area. Arth is first mentioned in documents in 1028 in the records of the St. Emmeram monastery in Regensburg. The broken wheel of Saint Catherine stands for the old community in the Further coat of arms .
