history

Name and history until the church was planted

Gerolsbach is said to be derived from the name of the priest Kerolt, who headed the original parish from 783 to 811 . Gerolsbach was first mentioned in writing in the 10th century in documents from the Münchsmünster monastery . The local nobles von Gerolsbach can be traced back to the end of the 11th century and probably acted as ministers of the Freising Monastery . Gerolsbach was already mentioned as a Freising property around 1000. As the provost of the cathedral chapter , Gerolsbach achieved the legal status of a court march , whose rights were replaced in the secularization around 1803.

legend

A robber baron by the name of Gerold drove his rather unchaste and brutal mischief at Geroldseck Castle. He attacked passing merchants on their way between Augsburg and Regensburg. Eventually he was caught in Austria, executed and his castle razed. Its rubble was used as early as 1740 for the expansion of the Gerolsbach St. Andreas Church. In fact, there is a Ritter-Gerold-Straße in Gerolsbach.
