history

Until the church is planted

Heretsried was first mentioned in writing in the 13th century; the community celebrated its 750th anniversary in 1992. It was owned by the Holzen Monastery for a long time and passed into secular ownership in 1600. In 1538 the first church was built in the village by order of the abbess Apollonia Wiedemann. In 1636, during the Thirty Years War , the village was burned down by the Swedes. According to one report, only six subjects were found in the village, more dead than alive. In 1722 a new church was built by the builder Hans Geörg Radmiller. Since the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss of 1803 the place belongs to Bavaria. In the course of the administrative reforms in the Kingdom of Bavaria , today's municipality was created with the municipal edict of 1818 .
