geography

landscape

In terms of its natural surroundings, the Amper area of Haimhausen lies at the northern end of the Munich gravel plain . The Amper flows through the Tertiary Danube-Isar hill country and passes into the Freising district behind Haimhausen. Deposits after the Ice Age cover the Amperaue, in the area of the Haimhausen community it borders directly on the moor at the edge of the Munich gravel plain, the Dachauer Moos, in the south . The landscape around Haimhausen offers a diverse nature: springs, flowing and still waters, bog and moss areas, deciduous and coniferous forests, swamp forests, alluvial forests, bushes, hedges and field trees, wild grasslands and wasteland areas.

Due to the river regulations of the 19th and 20th centuries, many of the meandering rivers were cut off by main arms, resulting in many so-called backwaters and a diverse floodplain landscape . As a result of increasing arable farming and other intensive use, many floodplains were drained, the floodplain was displaced and destroyed. Nevertheless, the Amperaue around Haimhausen is still ecologically valuable and is home to extremely rare animals, plants and vegetation.

history

Early days

According to a legend, Haimhausen was founded by the brothers Heimo (→ Haimhausen), Petto (→ Amper (nearby river) + Petto + Bach = Amperpettenbach) and Indo (→ Inhausen).

Until 788, the Bavarian lands were ruled by the ducal family of Agilolfinger , who in turn divided the area into districts among the five most distinguished noble families. Our homeland belonged to the "Huosigau" (after the Huosi family). Haimhausen is a founding of this early period, because already in the year 772 it appears in a document as "Heiminhusir". Ottershausen appears as "Oathareshusir" in the year 793, between 883 and 906 Inhausen, and corn dough, which means "forest path", refers to the early Middle Ages . Haimhausen had a Schranne (court square) early on , where Gaugraf Luitpold held a court day in 829 .

middle Ages

Haimhausen has always been a noble seat and has been a Hofmark since the end of the 16th century . The complicated ownership structure in the Middle Ages shows that Haimhausen belonged to the Counts of Ottenburg-Grögling in the early days (Ottenburg near Daitenhausen). Increasing power and possession of the then still counts' house of Wittelsbach forced the remaining nobility more and more into a relationship of dependency. So our area came to the rich estates of the Counts of Scheyern (Wittelsbach) around the middle of the 12th century. Haimhausen was again owned by the Counts of Valley, a branch line of the Dachau Counts, until 1238. Here Konrad I had founded his own line "Scheyern-Dachau" under the Wittelsbach family, which, however, in 1192 with Count Konrad III. went out. His mother Adelheid sold the county for "10 marks gold and 900 pounds pfennigs " to Duke Otto I.

Ministrals, ie servants of the counts, i.e. administrative officials, were the nobles of Haimhausen, who can be traced back to the end of the 12th century. Ottershausen also had a noble seat, which was probably water-fortified. Inhausen has been known since early days as a place of pilgrimage to Our Lady. Duke Albrecht IV. Came here as a pious pilgrim and founded a chaplain with rich talent.

Today's parish church with the patronage of St. Nikolaus has only been documented since 1485.

From 1500

The hereditary feuds in the Bavarian ducal house in the 14th, 15th and 16th centuries touched the area around Haimhausen; so burned u. a. on August 5, 1504 in the War of the Lower Bavarian Succession, the whole village was destroyed.

After Haimhausen had been a direct sovereign property from 1238, Duke Wilhelm V gave it to his court chamber councilor and rent master Theodor Viehbeck zu Habelspach, who thus became the progenitor of the later Counts of Haimhausen. Terror and hardship prevailed in the Thirty Years' War , when the Swedes besieged and captured Dachau in 1646 and 1648. In 1634/35 and 1649/50 the "Black Death", the plague , ruled the local area .

The Duke's offspring, Johann-Albert, received the title of Imperial Count in 1671 . His grandchildren were Count Karl and Count Sigmund . The former had the castle rebuilt by Jean Francois Cuvillies in 1747. After his death, Count Sigmund took over the Haimhauser property and was under Elector Max-Josef III. President of the Coin and Mining College and the Academy of Sciences . He also made a significant contribution to founding the Nymphenburg Porcelain Manufactory . Haimhausen then came through a female line of succession to Count Butler-Cloneborough, who took the name Butler-Haimhausen.

19th and 20th centuries

In the course of the administrative reforms in Bavaria , today's municipality was created with the municipal edict of 1818 .

The landscape painter Bernhard Buttersack came to Haimhausen around 1895, attracted by the untouched moss landscape with its oxbow lakes and the tranquility and beauty of the place. In Ottershausen he had a spacious house built for himself, with a painting studio to the north. Soon he opened a private painting school that attracted many young artists. As a result, Haimhausen developed more and more into the Haimhausen artists 'colony , located near the large Dachau artists' colony . Max Bergmann , who worked in Haimhausen for more than 30 years and opened a private painting school there in 1925, was of great importance to the artists' colony . Some of his students were a .: Arthur Niso , Helene Harth , Alice Krüger and Hermann Koenemann . With the death of Paul Erbe , the small painters' colony also went out.

In 1998, Haimhausen Castle became the seat of the Bavarian International School.

coat of arms

Blazon : "Under a blue shield head, inside three vertical golden diamonds next to each other, in silver a black eagle."

Founding of the coat of arms: The old Hofmark Haimhausen had been closely related to the Wittelsbach family since the 13th century. This is indicated by the field colors silver and blue. The three golden diamonds and the eagle are taken from the Viepeck family coat of arms. Wolfgang Viepeck was in the service of Duke Albrecht V as the caretaker of Haimhausen and Chancellor of Landshut. In 1590, Duke Wilhelm V gave his son Theodor Viepeck the Haimhausen court mark. The diamonds in the Viepeck coat of arms allude to the proximity to the ducal house. The Viepeck rose to the rank of imperial count by 1692 and called themselves imperial counts of Haimhausen. The castle, built in the second half of the 17th century, is of art historical importance.
