history

Around 1000 Grashausen is a Regensburg bishop's court, which is mentioned in 1150 in the deed of donation of the Obermünster women's monastery in Regensburg. 1303 Heinrich der Groshauser is named a local nobleman. In 1535 Friedrich von Grumbach bought the noble seat. In 1570 it came into the possession of the Muggenthalers . 1655 wrote Hans Wolf the Muggenthaler von Hinzenhausen on Mindelstetten and Grashausen; he was a nurse and castler at Dietfurt. In 1680 the Grashauser Markt was built, which developed into an important cattle market, which was moved to Mindelstetten in 1870.

In the district office, the later district of Riedenburg and thus in the administrative district of Upper Palatinate, Grashausen came as part of the municipality of Mindelstetten together with Mindelstetten in the course of the Bavarian territorial reform on July 1, 1972 in the extended district of Eichstätt in the administrative district of Upper Bavaria . In 1983 the hamlet with its 21 inhabitants consisted of a full-time agricultural business and three part-time businesses.
