Until the church is planted

Row grave finds at the Egelsee near Hagenheim from around 650, as well as the place name, suggest a settlement in the 7th century . This probably took place starting from today's hamlet of Memming.

Hofstetten is mentioned for the first time in 1083 in a deed of donation from Bishop Norbert zu Chur as Hovesteten . In this he bequeathed Hofstetten to Habach Monastery .

After the village was initially under the influence of the Guelphs and Staufers , it fell to the Wittelsbachers in 1231 , and in 1270 Hofstetten is listed in the basic directory of the Landsberg caste office.

The Wessobrunn monastery was important as a manorial estate in the entire municipality of Hofstetten until secularization in 1803 . The part of the municipality Hagenheim is mentioned as a Wessobrunn property as early as the High Middle Ages; from 1403 the church of Hagenheim was incorporated into the monastery (previously Habach Abbey). Hofstetten belonged to the Munich Rent Office and to the Landsberg Regional Court of the Electorate of Bavaria . In the course of the administrative reforms in the Kingdom of Bavaria , the municipal edict of 1818 created the municipalities of Hofstetten and Hagenheim.
