history

Until the 19th century

St. Laurence

Hurlach from the north

Hurlach belonged to the barons of Donnersberg. The place was part of the Electorate of Bavaria and formed a closed Hofmark , whose seat was Hurlach.

Hurlach was first mentioned in a document in 1140. The Hurnloher, who were court lords in Hurlach in the 12th century, are likely to have been feudal men of the Welfs , who then ruled Bavaria as dukes. Probably in 1180 Hurlach became Wittelsbach , then came for a short time to the Hohenstaufen and after their extinction in 1268 finally to Bavaria. After the Hurnlohern, the Giessen, von Villenbach, Meuting, Pimmel, Haug, Manlich, Fugger , Langenmantel, Pemler, von Donnersberg, Karwinsky, von der Leyen , Horlacher and von Schnurbein are still known as lords of the court and castle .

The church tower of the parish church from the second half of the 13th century is considered the oldest in the Landsberg district. The nave dates from around 1500, the furnishings from the 17th century. The picturesque Margaret Chapel is located south of the village. The rectory was rebuilt in 1854.

Hurlach Castle, on the same level as the parish church and Margaret Chapel, the rectory and the stately inn, was built around 1610 by Marx Fugger (1564–1614, Herr zu Kirchberg and Weißenhorn) and renovated in 1899. It is a rectangular building with four corner towers and an old roof structure, inside with remarkable post-Gothic vault figures.

20th century

Camp IV of the Landsberg / Kaufering concentration camp external command existed in the Hurlach colony from August 1944 to April 1945 , in which men and women had to do forced labor in the construction of the underground factory and the construction of the Lechfeld airfield . A concentration camp cemetery was created for the 360 victims , where a memorial stone commemorates the predominantly Jewish prisoners.

In 1965 the castle came to the Children's Village Association, which set up a youth psychiatric ward there. In 1972 the Hurlach Castle was bought by the Christian mission organization Jugend mit einer Mission ; it has been used as a training center ever since.
