history

Finds from a former cult site in Kriestorf show that people settled here as early as the Neolithic Age (approx. 4900 to 4000 BC). In addition to a clay cult figure, parts of human bones, stone axes, shards of clay vessels and the remains of a settlement were found.

The name probably goes back to Chrus, Grois or Chries and means coarse sand. Around 1140 a Eckehart de Chriestorf is mentioned several times as a witness. Around 1160 Hildebold de Griestorf gave his estate to the Aldersbach monastery . In 1157 Berthold de Gottinsdorf bought a property from the knight Ulrich de Rosa and transferred it to the same monastery. In 1159 noble Hartlieb von Winzer gave the church of Chriestorf along with the adjoining estate and mills to the Osterhofen monastery .

The Hofmark Kriestorf later belonged to the Haidenburg rule under the Landgraves of Leuchtenberg and the Closen of Haidenburg for a long time until the 19th century . Parts of the village were owned by the lords and later the counts of Goder. As early as 1428 there was a Gorig (Georg) Goder zu Chriestorf . The last Count Goder zu Kriestorf died childless in 1789. After that, the Aldersbach monastery bought the seat and kept it in Bavaria until secularization .

In 1821 Kriestorf was subordinate to the royal district court and later district office Vilshofen and counted 21 houses in addition to the church, one of which was a brewery, two inns and one was a mill. Kriestorf belonged to the Walchsing community and came to Aldersbach in 1972 as part of the regional reform in Bavaria .
