history

St. Leonhard

The place should have had a very early foundation, which can also be read in the "Chronicle of the Upper Leitzach Valley". Hundham, called Hunthaim in 1224, is probably the most evocative place name in the area. A Hundo / Hunt (o), Old High German hunto, was a functionary and head of an early medieval staff association in direct connection with the landlord (king or count). The word "haim" refers to the landlord's settlement. The heim places are almost of the same age as the ing places. The place was assigned to the Scheyern Monastery , but it had a very eventful past and so the eastern half of the road was obliged to pay taxes to the Aibling Monastery and the western half to the Tegernsee Monastery , and the court of Aibling held court in Hundham, and Hundham was also a market in the Middle Ages and there was a market every two weeks.

The place Hundham was an independent municipality and was assigned to the municipality Fischbachau on January 1, 1976 as part of the municipal reform . The former municipal area covered about 2342 hectares and fifty parts of the municipality and reached from Elbach in the south to Achau in the west and in the east to the municipality of Bad Feilnbach , which is also the district boundary. The Auer Berg was part of the old municipal area and is a geological boundary into the Inn Valley.

The Leitzach valley had been of tourist importance since 1912, when there was already a tourist association. An industrial settlement never existed, but medium-sized businesses such as sawmills, carpenters and wagon workshops, carpenters, forest workers shaped the picture. There were miners in the Leitzach valley who mined pitch coal . Prospecting was carried out on the Auerberg near Engelsberg. Coal was mined in Leitzach and processed and marketed in Miesbach and later in Hausham. A special feature is that in Deisenried near Hundham there is still a weather tunnel on Kreisstraße 22 to Feilnbach. As part of the village renewal in Hundham, the weather tunnel is facing an opening.
