history

Filial church St. Johannes Evangelist in Eschling

Excavations in the area indicate an early settlement: to the west of the place there is a Neolithic settlement in the brickworks, to the east a Bronze Age settlement. There are two barrows at Hirsthof.
Wengen is one of the oldest documented places in Upper Bavaria: In 864, Bishop Anno von Freising exchanged a farm in Uuengia from Count Cotascalc (Gottschalk). Bishop Waldo von Freising exchanged the Wengen possessions in 887 and 895 with the noble Erchanfried von Hohenwart. In the 11th and 12th centuries, the Counts of Scheyern (relatives of the Hohenwarter) and the marshals of Schiltberg appear as the lords of Wengen . In 1268, Count Bernhard I von Scheyern gave the Scheyern Monastery a farm in Wenga . In 1268 Marshal Bertold von Schiltberg donated several farms to the Niederschönenfeld Monastery .
Around 1800 there were the following landlords in Wengen: the curb-Bavarian caste office Rain (since Wengen belonged to the district court Rain), the monastery Niederschönenfeld and the monastery Indersdorf , the counts of Sandizell and the barons Hörwarth on Aiterberg.
Eschling was first mentioned in 1214 as Eschelingen and at that time belonged to the Lords of Pappenheim . In 1800 the Eschling landlords were the Scheyern Monastery, the Frauenkapelle in Rain and the Frauenkirche in Ingolstadt ; the rest belonged to the caste office Rain.
The Hirsthof ( settlement on the bushes ) was also first mentioned in 1214 under Hurstin or Hürsten as a property of the Pappenheimer. Since 1500 the farm belonged to the Thierhaupten monastery .

The Catholic branch church Sankt Ottilia in Wengen belongs to the parish of St. Cosmas and Damian in Burgheim. Of the oldest late Romanesque church, the tower and the west wall of the nave still stand. The choir and the rest of the nave were built around 1600. In 1913 the ship was extended to the west. Parts of the
Catholic Church of St. Johannes Evangelist in Eschling (tower, adjacent south nave wall) date from 1300. The rest of the church was rebuilt after it was destroyed in the Thirty Years' War. It is worth mentioning a
three-dimensional representation of Christ's instruments of suffering from 1800. The Hirsthof traditionally belongs to the parish of St. Michael in Haselbach .

On July 1, 1972, the independent community of Wengen, which belonged to the district of Neuburg an der Donau , was incorporated into the Burgheim market.

On May 30, 2005, the inhabitants were startled by the crash of a military plane between Eschling and Illdorf ; There were no deaths, injuries or damage to buildings.
