Waters
story
Until the 19th century
The geological formation of the Fünfseenland originated in the last ice age, the so-called Würme Ice Age, which ended an estimated 10,000 years ago. In the direction of flow of the glaciers, the high lateral moraines were created, such as the Andechser ridges and the underground excavations for the later lakes. The water level of the Ammersee was about 30 m higher than at present, so the lake reached from Grafrath in the north to Weilheim. The silting up and the digging of the Amper not only lowered the water level, but also separated the Wörthsee and the Pilsensee.
The first traces of a settlement date from the Bronze Age (up to 1200 BC), ceramics and broken fragments were found below Widdersberg and east of the current archaeological park in Herrsching. The typical burial mounds from the Hallstatt period were leveled at the beginning and middle of the 20th century. Traces from Roman times (15 BC to 400 AD): The foundations of a Roman drying oven, a stone house and a number of coins were found in Herrsching. A Roman tombstone from the second half of the 2nd century AD is protected in the outer wall of the Church of St. Michael in Widdersberg. Individual Roman traces, i.e. coins or shards, were also found in various sub-areas of the current municipal area.
From the early Middle Ages (400–788 AD) only graves were found in Herrsching and Breitbrunn before a tuff chamber grave with human skeletal remains was uncovered during expansion work on the communal cemetery. Further investigations by the State Office for Monument Preservation revealed that it was an early medieval aristocratic grave from the Merovingian era and the almost completely preserved foundation of an early Christian church from the 7th century. The site was opened in 1996 in the form of an archaeological park with aristocratic graves, a reconstructed church and replicas.
In 776 Herrsching was first documented as Horscaninga when the noble Huosier family donated it to Schlehdorf Monastery . It is probably based on the documented Bavarian personal name Horscman ('settlement des Horscman'), which carries the Old High German horsc 'cheerful'.
In 1098, "Preitbrunnen" (Breitbrunn) was first mentioned in a document. In the middle of the 16th century, Duke Albrecht V built a castle in what is now the Mühlfeld district .
Herrsching remained a fishing and farming village until the 19th century, when it began to develop into an excursion and holiday destination.
20th century
In 1903 Herrsching received a rail connection to Munich. Today tourist day trips and longer stays are an essential source of income. In 1889, the painter Ludwig Scheuermann built a castle in the Wilhelminian style on the lakeshore, where he celebrated artist festivals with his friends in the summer. The Scheuermann-Schlösschen became the property of the municipality in 1934. After it served as a refugee accommodation in the post-war period, it was renovated and now serves as a cultural center for concerts and exhibitions as well as a wedding palace under the name Kurparkschlößchen.
In the district of Wartaweil, the Villa Bräustedt property was transferred to the NSDAP Reich Treasurer Franz Xaver Schwarz and later to the Herrschingen Finance School due to “tax debts” during the Nazi era . At that time it was used as a “rest home for working people” and as a rest home for the NSV . After the Second World War it was used as accommodation for refugees, pregnant women and as a maternity, infant and children's home. The founders were Luise Silverberg and Gertrud Thyssen . Their business was financed by domestic pregnant women and employees as well as welfare (daily allowance). No “ anti-social elements” should be included there. Many children were born there and put up for adoption. Gertrud Thyssen “knew the Americans' preference for babies,” as reported in the Sonntagspost by Süddeutscher Verlag in 1957. Since Starnberg wanted to end the rental for the home, negotiations in the Bavarian state parliament that the Wartaweil children's and infant home would be run by the Brotherhood Salem eV for a short time. In 1966 it was used by the state of Bavaria as an extension of the state finance school.
resident
Between 1988 and 2018, the municipality grew from 8,017 to 10,702 by 2,685 inhabitants or 33.5%. The population has been growing since the second half of the 20th century: Around 1940 there were still around 2,500 inhabitants, in 1950, due to the influx of refugees, 4229. In 2013 there were 10,714 inhabitants (including second residences) in Herrsching am Ammersee, 1,644 of them in Breitbrunn and 437 in Widdersberg.
As of December 31, 2013, the proportion of foreigners was 1,309 (12.22%). A total of 83 nationalities live in the municipality of Herrsching.
In order to better integrate newcomers, an integration meeting (Herrschinger Welcome Day) is held annually by the community.
Incorporations
On January 1, 1972, due to the regional reform in Bavaria, the municipality of Widdersberg and on January 1, 1978 the municipality of Breitbrunn am Ammersee were incorporated. Since the incorporation of Breitbrunn, Herrsching has had two street names, Seestrasse and Kapellenstrasse, twice, which leads to problems with mail delivery and emergency medical calls.

coat of arms
|
|
Blazon : “ Divided by a silver-colored wave bar ; above in blue a flying silver seagull, below the Bavarian diamonds . "
This coat of arms has been used since 1954. |
| Explanation of the coat of arms: The seagull and the wave bar refer to the location of the municipality on the Ammersee. The proximity to the lake has shaped community life over the centuries. Herrsching was mentioned as early as 776 as a fishing settlement owned by the Schlehdorf monastery. Since the 19th century, the attractive lakeside location near the state capital has become increasingly important for tourism. The Bavarian diamonds in the lower part of the coat of arms remind that the Wittelsbachers, as Bavarian dukes, exercised the land and feudal rule in the municipality of Herrsching since the Andechser died out (1248). The community has had the addition of the name, which refers to the location on the Ammersee, since 1954. |

The initiator of the project was the NSDAP functionary based in Herrsching and then State Secretary in the Reich Ministry of Finance, Fritz Reinhardt . The buildings were used for military hospitals during and after the Second World War, from the mid-1950s again for the training of tax officials and until 1972 also as a customs school . This educational institution is one of the most important facilities for Herrsching.
