history
In a document from the Mallersdorf monastery , Count Arterius I is mentioned in Kirchberg as early as 812. The Counts of Kirchberg, ministers of the royal monastery of Niedermünster in Regensburg, resided here since the 12th century . After the Counts of Kirchberg died out in 1234, their area was converted into a nursing court district of the Duchy of Bavaria-Landshut . The ducal keeper, later a district judge, resided at Kirchberg Castle and was responsible for administration and justice in his district. The most important places of the Kirchberg Regional Court, which belongs to the Landshut Rent Office, were the Pfaffenberg and Geiselhöring markets .
The castle was destroyed in the Landshut War of Succession in 1504 and in the Thirty Years War in 1632. In 1803 the Kirchberg district court was relocated to Pfaffenberg. The castle was purchased in 1807 by a family who used it for agriculture.
The municipality of Kirchberg belonged to the district office and later to the district of Rottenburg an der Laaber . On January 1, 1949, the Kirchberg community was dissolved and incorporated into the Andermannsdorf community . With this, Kirchberg came to the municipality of Hohenthann in the course of the regional reform in Bavaria in 1978. The castle, now a palace, was acquired and restored by two Munich families in 1978.
