The Hofmark Affing was first mentioned in a document in 1040 with the gentlemen of "Affingin", whose last representative Otto died in 1401.

Since the 15th century the Hofmark has had constantly changing owners:

• from 1425 Engelhart von Oberndorf
• from around 1470 Wolfgang von Waldeck
• from 1506 Walter von Gumppenberg
• from 1552 Seifried von Zillenhart
• from 1682 barons of Leyden
• from 1816 Karl Ernst von Gravenreuth (see also Barons von Gravenreuth ).

There were only a few farms in the village owned by the court lord. Most of the farms belonged to the Fürstenfeld monastery and the Indersdorf monastery .

In 1687 the towns of Aulzhausen and Mühlhausen came into the possession of Hofmark Affing.
