history

Until the 18th century
Settlement dates from 3500 to 2000 BC. BC back. Finds of stool graves , which can be assigned to the end of the Neolithic Age ( end Neolithic ), bear witness to this. The then following Bronze Age can be the nine well-preserved today tumuli assign located between Geltendorf and Turks field.
15 BC Chr. Was Vindelikien and occupied the area around Geltendorf by the Romans. The nearby Augsburg became a Roman provincial and trading city. Due to its proximity to Augsburg, one of the important trade routes led through Geltendorf via Hausen , Dünzelbach , Heinrichshofen to Augsburg. With the Romans not only merchants, craftsmen and prosperity came to this area, which is now located Rätien called, but also the Christian faith . The Romans also created the first permanent dwellings and streets in the area around Geltendorf. At the beginning of the 6th century, the Bavarians settled what is now southern Bavaria and Austria . A Bavarian clan leader by the name of Geltolf settled in today's Geltendorf and is the namesake of the place.
The first documentary mention of Geltendorf goes back to the year 969. In a letter of foundation from Bishop Ulrich von Augsburg to the nunnery St. Stefan in Augsburg , an own church and an own priest in Geltendorf are mentioned.
Geltendorf changed hands several times over the years. In the foundation letter from 969, Bishop Ulrich von Augsburg is named as the owner, later it was, among others, the monasteries Wessobrunn and St. Stephan in Augsburg, Benediktbeuern and the nobles of Pflaumdorf. Until the end of the 19th century, Geltendorf belonged to the Landsberg district court . With the establishment of a regional court in Bruck , Geltendorf was subordinated to this.
In 1632, Geltendorf and large parts of the area were badly hit and plundered by the Swedes during the Thirty Years War . In 1646 and 1647, 26 residents fell victim to the rampant plague . In 1749, Geltendorf had 313 inhabitants. In 1792 there were 77 houses in the village.
19th and 20th centuries
In 1873 the railway line from Munich to Allgäu was opened without a separate stopping point being set up on the route, which runs a little further south from Geltendorf. At first, Geltendorf could only be reached via the train stations in Türkenfeld and Schwabhausen. Among other things, thanks to the initiative of the newly founded St. Ottilien Monastery, a branch to the Ammersee could be realized in 1895, which went into operation in 1898. Now Geltendorf also got its own train station.
In 1869, Anselm Müller was appointed first mayor , following the new municipal code . In 1875, with the introduction of registry offices , he also took over the office of registrar. During the First World War , 22 Geltendorfer died in the field.
Until the end of the First World War, Geltendorf was almost entirely rural, with the exception of the railway station and a few handicrafts and commercial enterprises, which is particularly clear from the approximately 85 local farms at the time. Around 1920, Geltendorf had about 775 inhabitants. Due to the favorable transport connections, there was brisk construction activity in the course of the following years, which only subsided again in 1939 with the beginning of the Second World War - Geltendorf now had 850 inhabitants.
To compensate for the loss of manpower caused by the war, prisoners of war were z. B. on the Reichsbahn premises (Russian prisoners of war) or forced laborers from Poland and France in agriculture .
In the last months of the war, the first refugees from the eastern German territories , mainly from Silesia and East Prussia , arrived in Geltendorf . Some 160 people found a new home here. Geltendorf experienced the end of the Second World War without any significant damage. In gratitude for this, the community donated a chapel, today's forest chapel. In 1946 there were again displaced persons from the Sudetenland .
Since the district and municipal area reform that came into force on July 1, 1972, Geltendorf has belonged again to the Landsberg am Lech district.
Incorporations
On July 1, 1972, the previously independent communities of Hausen bei Geltendorf, Kaltenberg and Walleshausen were incorporated.

St. Stephen Church
St. Stephan is a located in the old village center of Geltendorf and under monument protection standing Baroque church , whose predecessors to the 10th century date back. It is surrounded by a stone wall, within the limits of which is the old Geltendorf cemetery .
In 1493 the originally existing wooden church was replaced by a new Gothic building. These data are based on a brick found during renovation work in the middle of the 19th century with the burnt-in date 1493. In the following centuries, wars , devastation and natural disasters repeatedly caused damage to the structural substance as well as to the interior of the Church. One reports about the year 1633, “The church tower dilapidated, the windows smashed in the church, doors and boxes chopped up, baptismal kettle , smoke barrel, monstrance all gone.” In 1679 new altars and in 1687 a new pulpit are purchased. In 1694 the nave was extended to the west, with further alterations also being made inside the church. In 1754 the church was redesigned again, following the taste of the time, in the Rococo style . Inside, the vaulted ceiling was provided with frescoes , which thematize the namesake of the church St. Stephan. The most striking external feature of this conversion is likely to have been the spire in the form of an onion dome . In addition, a sacristy was added to the south side of the church . In the decades that followed, there were repeated renovation and renovation work to preserve the substance of the church itself and its interior. An organ was installed in 1795 and a third bell was purchased in 1806. In 1872 the roof of the church tower, originally covered with shingles, was covered with sheet metal. In 1876 the fourth, last and largest church bell from the Hermann bell foundry in Memmingen was hung. In 1878 the current church clock was put into operation.
A comprehensive renovation took place in 1905 and 1906. The organ with 13 registers and a pneumatic action, which is still available today , was installed by the company H. Koulen & Sohn from Augsburg .
St. Stephan survived both world wars almost unscathed. However, on July 31, 1917, the two largest bronze bells were withdrawn and melted down for use in the armaments industry. It was the bells from 1806 and 1876. In 1922 the last remaining bronze bell was removed and sold to Beuern near Greifenberg . The four new cast steel bells that were hung up a short time later and that were bought in Bochum for 52,000 marks are among the few bells of their kind still in operation today. They are tuned to the tones D, A, A flat and B. Cast steel bells are not of the same value to the defense industry as the bronze bells previously installed. It is unclear whether this played a role in the decision to use this material at the time. During the Second World War, they were the only bells that could be heard in the wider area.
On July 28, 1946, the tower suffered considerable hurricane damage when the entire roof structure of the tower fell. In the years that followed, the tower could only be sealed with a temporary roof. It was not until 1950 that all damage was removed and the old silhouette restored. In 1957 the ringing of the bells was switched to electrical operation. In 1970 St. Stephan received a complete exterior renovation, in 1990 the organ was restored, and in 1996 the interior followed. The entire work was completed in 2004 with the renovation of the tower.
Catholic Parish Church To the Holy Angels
The Catholic parish church "To the Holy Angels" is part of an overall complex of a newly built parish center near the center of Geltendorf. The steady increase in the number of inhabitants after the Second World War and extensive construction work in the station area made it necessary to adapt the capacities of the parish to these circumstances. The Diocese of Augsburg therefore awarded the contract to build a new parish center near the town hall in Geltendorf. Original plans to build this church near the train station were given up in 1965 with the purchase of the property near the town hall. On March 27, 1966, Pastor Schneider founded a church building association that wanted to support the new building by collecting donations . On November 4, 1966, Fritz Strunz from Bad Tölz chose from six designs for the new church. On October 18, 1968, the local council finally approved the project, and on February 29, 1969, the Fürstenfeldbruck district office approved . The church building association was able to collect approx. 70,000 DM in donations for the construction of the new parish church.
The foundation stone was laid on October 12, 1969, and the inauguration was celebrated on December 13, 1970. The church is modern and functional in the style of the time. The main design element is the west side of the church, which was built in the shape of a triangle and is intended to symbolize a tent.
Quote: “See the tent of God among men” Off. 21.3
The tent is also used as a design element in the interior and is reflected both in the shape of the ceiling and on the back of the altar . Altar and church interior are not spatially separated from one another, but form a large whole.
Kaltenberg Castle
War memorial
The war memorial on the perimeter wall of St. Stefan is a simple, about four meter high wooden cross in front of a wall in the immediate vicinity of St. Stephen's Church. To the right and left of it are plaques with the names of the fallen soldiers of the First and Second World Wars in the community of Geltendorf. This war memorial was only erected in its current form after the Second World War. The original war memorial was demolished and parts of it were used for other purposes. A Madonna figure now has its place in the forest chapel not far from Bahnhofstrasse. In 2012, the surrounding wall and name boards were extensively renovated. The wooden cross that was originally in the wall has also been renewed and stands in front of it.

When the Allgäu Railway was built in 1873, no train station was set up in Geltendorf, as the line was two kilometers south of the town. It was not until the opening of the Ammerseebahn by the Royal Bavarian State Railways on June 30, 1898, that Geltendorf also received a train station. In 1907, a level crossing between the two lines was set up in the west of the station. Originally the station had a wooden one-story station building, which was replaced by a single-story brick building in the 1930s. On September 29, 1968, electrical operation began on the Allgäu Railway between Munich and Geltendorf and on September 7, 1970 on the Ammerseebahn between Mering and Geltendorf.
