The place name goes back to a miracle story, according to which the pious lady of the castle Anna von Engelsberg was wrongly accused of adultery by a servant of her husband. When the lord of the castle soon afterwards kneeled next to a shepherd in front of a column of torture of hll Discovered Maria and Corona, in his anger he cut off her right hand with his sword. However, the woman turned to Maria and called "Maria, handl off!", Whereupon the hand grew again immediately. The husband also understood this heavenly hint and saw the innocence of his wife.

In the Middle Ages, in addition to Maria, St. Corona venerated. A chapel stood in Handlab as early as 1513; today's church was built in 1664. Handlab belonged to the chairmanship and office of Iggensbach of the Deggendorf district court . It is not mentioned in the conscription of 1752, at that time it only consisted of the pilgrimage church. Handlab has been part of Iggensbach since the community was formed in the 19th century.

Pastor Josef Wimmer had the church carefully restored in the 1930s and the ceiling frescoes restored in 1936. The recovery of Erna Jülke from Aachen in 1947, who had been dependent on a wheelchair since a bomb attack, took part in a nine-day prayer in Handlab and was suddenly able to walk again, attracted attention.
