geography

This valley is protected from the rough winds by the surrounding hills. In addition, there is the heavy clay-rich soil, many small streams and the Leitzach, so that in this valley the vegetation sprouts particularly abundantly. High yields of grain, fruit in abundance and lots of grass for the cattle aroused a certain envy in the neighboring communities. These are the reasons that this valley is called the Golden Valley.

history

The history of the valley goes back a long way. The first documentary mention of the Martinskirche in Holzolling comes from the year 795. An apparently wealthy and influential gentleman named Frecholf donated his property "Ollinga" to the diocese of Freising.

The history of Holzolling and also of Martinskirche is of course a lot older than the written documents show. The first settlers had already settled in this area more than 1000 years before the turn of the times. Before the immigration of the Bavarians in the late 5th century AD, Gallic-Celtic tribes, the Vindeliks and the Romans had already been here.

In 1671 the Golden Valley had 42 houses and properties with 42 families. In the census of December 1, 1905, 45 houses with 47 families and a total of 254 inhabitants were statistically recorded. This suggests a long tradition and continuity of the farms.

Churches in the Golden Valley

St. Martin's Church in Holzolling

Today's Holzollinger Filialkirche St. Martin was built in 1677 in place of a much older church. In the same year, an octagonal building with an onion roof was added to the west-side tower, the square base of which is still Gothic. The peculiar stone balls under the roof are reminiscent of the tower of the Weyarn monastery church.

Maria-Hilf-Kirche in Esterndorf

Ostendorf, east of the old Holzolling, was first mentioned in writing in 1102. At the end of the 11th century, Esterndorf was affiliated as a branch of the newly created parish of Neukirchen. The Esterndorf Church is a late Gothic, loftily proportioned hall building with canted buttresses on the three-sided broken chancel, which was dedicated to St. John the Baptist was consecrated.

societies

The purpose of the UWG is to participate in the local political life of the community of Weyarn. It strives to keep the citizens of the Golden Valley informed about the work and decisions of the municipal council and to actively involve them. The UWG also supports the village community in the Golden Valley through meetings and events for young and old.

In addition to Holzolling, the surrounding villages of Naring, Esterndorf, Ried, Groß- and Kleinseeham, Bruck and Bach belong to the fire brigade's operational area.
