Keferloh
The hamlet of Keferloh is a district of Grasbrunn in the Munich district in Upper Bavaria . It is located on the historic salt road from Salzburg to Augsburg and is known for the Keferloh Monday , its formerly nationally important cattle trading day on the Monday after the Aegean Day in early September.
description
Originally, Keferloh was located on its own clearing island in Eicherholz . In the 20th century, however, the northern part of the Haar expanded and is now only separated from Keferloh by agricultural land, but no longer by forest. The hamlet consists of the church of St. Agidius , the Keferloh estate, which is still used for agriculture, and an inn with a traditional beer garden, which has been expanded many times . In the southwest there is a large tennis center with more than 30 courts. At the end of 2013, 19 residents were registered in Keferloh.
Neukeferloh, which also belongs to Grasbrunn , is located east of Keferloh and is separated from it by the Eicherholz and the A 99 motorway . It is now the Grasbrunn district with the most residents and is directly connected to the village of Vaterstetten near the S-Bahn station.
history
Legend has it that the settlement and cattle trade owe their existence to the success of Count Eberhard von Ebersberg at the Battle of Lechfeld on August 10, 955. According to Widukind von Corvey , the Bavarian horsemen came to the aid of Otto the Great's army just in time than the numbers superior Hungarians had almost won the battle. Out of gratitude Otto is said to have knighted the captains of the Ebersberger Niklas and Baldhauser and allowed them to round up the abandoned animals of the defeated Hungarians. According to tradition, 17,531 animals are said to have come together and herded together in the area of the Ebersberg Count near today's Keferloh. The auction of the animals turned into a fair. An edict of Otto the Great is said to have allowed a horse market to be held on Laurentius Day , the anniversary of the battle, for the following years . Historical documents to prove this legend and the existence of a place in the 10th century do not exist. There is also no archaeological evidence from this period. In addition, several communities in the area claim to be the scene of this story.
After the relocation of the salt trade route in 1158 by the Bavarian Duke Heinrich the Lion of Freising to Munich, today's Keferloh was located at the intersection of the new salt route from east to west with the Isar route coming from the south from Schäftlarn Abbey via Föhring to Freising. The first documentary mention of Keferloher Grund comes from this year 1158 when Bishop Otto von Freising transferred it to the Schäftlarn monastery. Market rights for Keferloh have also been documented since 1158 . The consecration of the Church of St. Aegidius in 1173 on Aegidius Day by Bishop Adalbert I of Freising , September 1st, gave the church and fair the patronage and thus the date on the Monday after Aegidius, which still exists today. The church reopened in 2013 after renovations. The Romanesque painting was exposed and restored.
There is evidence of three landlords from the early years, namely the Count of Wolfratshausen , the Count of Moosburg and finally the Bishop of Freising . Bishop Otto came from the noble family of Babenbergs and was the brother of Heinrich Jasomirgott , who was Bavarian duke until 1156. Otto used this position to enlarge the possession of the Freising diocese by creating new servant seats. To this end, he also used the opportunity to resettle or revitalize former monasteries, such as the Schäftlarn monastery with the appointment of the Premonstratensian Order . In 1170, Bishop Adalbert I also left the tithe from the hamlet of Keferloh to the Schäftlender, thus giving the Premonstratensians a source of income.
Keferloher market and Keferloher beer mug
In 1407 Duke Wilhelm III failed . while trying to relocate the Keferloher Markt to Munich on the slope edge of the Isar near Giesing .
The annual cattle market reached up to 30,000 visitors at the beginning of the 19th century, around 6,000 horses and entire herds of cattle and sheep. This resulted in a major folk festival that was described as rough and violent. The author and publisher Karl Fernau stated in 1840: “This day is marked in red in the calendars of doctors and gendarmes .” That is why the so-called Keferloher is said to have been invented in Keferloh as early as 1808 , a clay beer mug that keeps beer cool for a long time. After the success of the Munich Oktoberfest in the course of the 19th century, the folk festival increasingly lost its importance and was discontinued in the 20th century. In 1995 it was brought back to life on the initiative of Grasbrunn citizens. It is now again the most important annual agricultural festival in the region. Every year a high-ranking, mostly Bavarian, politician appears as the keynote speaker, wearing a Keferloh straw hat.
