history

The place name is probably derived from a church near a linden tree. Lintchirchen is first mentioned in writing in 1116 in the document KU 3 of the Benediktbeuern monastery . At that time, the noble Ulrich von Elsendorf entered the monastery and bequeathed his numerous goods to it, including some in Lindkirchen. However, he left Benediktbeuern in 1125 and entered the Admont monastery in Styria, to which he now wanted to give all of his former property. This led to a decade-long dispute between the two monasteries, which the Archbishop of Salzburg decided in 1146 in favor of Admont Monastery. Benediktbeuern, however, did not finally renounce Ulrich's goods towards Admont until 1161. The Admont Monastery established a provost's office in Elsendorf, to which the goods from Lindkirchen belonged for a long time.

A church in Lintkirchen is mentioned in a document from Emperor Frederick I in 1177 together with a farm as property of the Biburg Monastery . The Benedictines of Biburg exercised the right of patronage over this church until 1485 . In the 1150s and 1160s, Lindkirchen appears in the traditions (donation books) of the monasteries Biburg, Rohr and Weihenstephan as the court of the Wittelsbach Count Palatine Friedrich . The Wittelsbachers owned a county in the Hallertau at that time. Lindkirchen was their place for the middle Hallertau. Friedrich, a brother of Count Otto , who later became the first Duke of Bavaria from the Wittelsbach family, was the court lord responsible for this area.

Even after the establishment of the Mainburg District Court and District Court of Wittelsbach, court hearings were still held at the Schranne in Lindkirchen. A court order from around 1450 describes the cooperation of the judges from Mainburg and Ratzenhofen an der Landschranne in Lindkirchen. The place did not have a single landlord, it was a so-called free float. A first street and house plan of the village is available from 1817. The townscape of Lindkirchen has changed little since then. The inn is striking, as it is a complex of four individual farms under three different landlords.

In 1818, the Lindkirchen community in the Abensberg regional court district was formed from the Lindkirchen tax district . It later belonged to the Mainburg District Office and the Mainburg District . On January 12, 1945 Unterwangenbach came from the municipality of Ratzenhofen to the municipality of Lindkirchen. As part of the regional reform in Bavaria , the municipality of Meilenhofen was added on January 1, 1972 , but on January 1, 1978 the municipality of Lindkirchen was incorporated into the city of Mainburg.
