history

Until the 19th century

Greifenberg is one of several places of the former Hofmark am Ammersee, which was administered from Greifenberg Castle .

The early history of the community is largely unknown. Archaeological finds, monuments and place names in the vicinity suggest that the Greifenberger Flur was also settled in the early days. Nearby are fourteen barrows from the Hallstatt period, some 2500 years old . Until 500 BC The Illyrians probably lived in the region and were then pushed into the Alpine valleys and to the east by the Celts . Numerous coin finds in the corridor east of Greifenberg prove the presence of the Romans . The Alemanni then moved into the Ammersee area around 600 AD .

Greifenberg itself was probably founded by the Counts of Andechs , who owned goods from Amper to Paar in the first half of the 10th century . When the last Count of Andechs died in 1248, the fortress came into the hereditary possession of one of its ministerial families, in whom the baptismal name Grypho (= Gripho, Griffo, Greiff ) was particularly common. The name Greif was called the family name and the hereditary castle "Greifenberg". Gripho de Andechs is seen as the buyer and founder of Greifenberg, who is named in a foundation letter from 1230 to Scheyern as a servant and feudal man of Duke Otto von Meran and who appeared in 1257 as "Gripho de Greifenberg". In 1396 Hans the Greif took part in King Sigismund's crusade against the Turks who had invaded Hungary . The battle of Nicopolis in the Wallachian Danube lowlands ended with a heavy defeat for the crusaders and the victorious Sultan Bajesid had thousands of knights and men of the crusaders executed. Among them was Hans the griffin, the last of his line.

The fortress Greifenberg was inherited by the Schweiker von Gundelfingen, who shared their inheritance in 1404. Georg von Gundelfingen was now sitting on Greifenberg, but he sold the fortress back to the Duke of Bavaria's family in 1410. Erhard von Perfall was then appointed Burgvogt by Duke Wolfgang and in 1478 received the castle and maintenance from him together with all Hofmarksgüter for 4,000 guilders . In 1507 the ducal brothers finally sold the Hofmark Greifenberg to their court master Erhard von Perfall as a so-called "free, single owner". Until the 19th century, Perfall was always a lord of Greifenberg in uninterrupted succession . The Patrimonial Court of Hofmark, which exercised the lower jurisdiction, was also subordinate to him until 1849 . In front of the judge's estate, the stone judge's seat from 1442 stood as a landmark until 1959.

19th and 20th centuries

In 1849 the local patrimonial court, to which the localities of Beuern , Eching , Pflaumdorf , Oberschondorf and partly also Unterschondorf were assigned, was dissolved, and jurisdiction was transferred entirely to the district judge in Landsberg , today the district court .

In 1935, the BDM's upper runner school was set up in Greifenberg . From the beginning of rail operations on the Ammerseebahn in 1898 until May 1984, there was a station in the Neugreifenberg district known as Greifenberg (Oberbay).

Incorporations

On May 1, 1978, part of the dissolved municipality of Beuern was incorporated.

Rail transport

Former Greifenberg train station
Former Theresienbad stop

The single-track Ammerseebahn runs through the community of Greifenberg from Mering via Geltendorf and Dießen to Weilheim . It is managed by Deutsche Bahn as the route book route 985. At the Ammerseebahn there were formerly two train stations in Greifenberg, both of which have been closed. The station Greifenberg (Oberbay) is located in the west of Greifenberger hamlet Neugreifenberg , about 1.5 kilometers west of the Greifenberger town center, and was shut down in 1984th The Theresienbad stop , which is about 400 meters south of Greifenberg, existed until 1964. Although the Theresienbad stop was closer to the center of Greifenberg than Greifenberg train station, it was less used because it was in the Windach Valley and was more difficult to reach .

The Ammerseebahn was opened on June 30, 1898 by the Royal Bavarian State Railways . The Greifenberg train station and the Theresienbad stop were built on it. Because of its proximity to the municipality of Windach , the Greifenberg station was planned as the Windach stop in the preliminary planning in 1896 and 1897 . The two-storey station building was erected as an unplastered clinker building with a tent roof . In 1936 it was replaced by another two-storey building with a gable roof in the local style , which is still there today. After the signal box was initially located in an extension on the track side of the building, after the renovation it was housed on the ground floor. On the south side of the building there is a mural that was installed in 1936 and last refreshed in 1951. A farmer is stylized while sowing and a second who tills the field with a team of horses. In the background the church of Hechenwang is shown in simplified form. To the north of the station building is a goods shed in a plastered wood construction. The track system of the station consisted of the continuous main track on the house platform and a loading track , which consisted of a ramp and an extension section. It was connected on both sides until the 1960s and was used to load agricultural products and equipment until the station was closed. Due to the low number of travelers and the high personnel costs in operations and traffic services, the traffic stop was canceled in 1984, the loading track and the last two switches were dismantled. Until the summer timetable in 1985, the station continued to exist as the Greifenberg depot, with manned ticket issuance and dispatchers, until the signaling systems were also dismantled in 1985. In December 1996, the house platform was torn down and the eastern wooden canopy was sawn off, as there was a bottleneck there for oversized loads that could be driven at a maximum of 5 km / h. With brief exceptions, the main building was empty from around 1986 to 2004. After negotiations, the community of Greifenberg acquired the entire station area from Deutsche Bahn in 2009. The community of Greifenberg tried several times unsuccessfully to reactivate the station.

The Theresienbad stop consisted of a wooden single-storey service building and a house platform on the main track. The stop was closed in 1964 due to low passenger numbers. The building is now privately owned.
