geography
location
The district of Schongau was bordered by two prominent foothills of the Bavarian Alps: the Auerberg in the west and the Hohen Peißenberg in the east. The origins of the district of Schongau lie in the former Wittelsbach high court of Schongau, which at times extended from Fuchstal in the north to Schwangau in the south. As part of the Upper Bavarian Pfaffenwinkel , the district of Schongau housed the monastery towns of Steingaden and Rottenbuch , the pilgrimage site Hohenpeißenberg and the famous pilgrimage church in the Wies (Wieskirche) . It was the only district in Upper Bavaria that extended a large part of its territory, including the district town, to Swabian territory west of the Lech.
