Kay is a district of the town of Tittmoning in the Upper Bavarian district of Traunstein with around 1100 inhabitants including the outskirts.
The name of the place comes from the old spelling for enclosure (as a fence for a former prince-bishop's hunting ground in Salzburg), which was called Gahai, Gehaey, Gehei or Gihei .
history
Already from the time of the Celts and Teutons there are some finds - albeit sparse. The villa rustica from Roman times on the road from Kay to Lanzing was excavated, researched and mapped.
The place name Kay appeared for the first time in the books of the Lumburg monastery in 1120 and it was first mentioned in documents in 1214, then around 1300 as the parish "Gehay" . Around 1324 the area was heavily disputed by Ludwig the Bavarian and Frederick the Fair , but was bought back by the Salzburg bishops for 5,500 pounds of Salzburg pfennigs . Therefore, the Thirty Years' War also went rather lightly here.
In contrast, the plague in 1634 took on such proportions that most of the farms, especially in the districts of Kay, Lanzing and Mühlham, were almost completely deserted. Napoléon's armies devastated and plundered the area around Kay during the siege of Tittmoning in 1809. In 1810 the entire area of the former archbishopric of Salzburg became part of the Kingdom of Bavaria . Unlike the rest of Salzburg's territory, the Rupertiwinkel, and with it Kay, remained in Bavaria in 1816.
In the course of the territorial reform , the municipality founded with the Bavarian municipal edict in 1818 was dissolved on May 1, 1978. Its main part with about 1000 inhabitants was incorporated into the city of Tittmoning. A smaller area with hardly more than ten inhabitants came to Tyrlaching in the Altötting district .
societies
Kay has a hunting association, a sports and rifle club, a warrior and soldier comradeship, a KLJB youth group and a kindergarten. Likewise the volunteer fire brigade and a horticultural association.
