history

At the end of the Second World War , on January 15, 1945, the place narrowly escaped a catastrophe. Due to the fog, a US bomber group had an orientation error; Instead of being dropped onto the tracks at Augsburg Central Station , the bomb load was dropped immediately north of the village - 86 bombs were counted from the western edge of the forest across the Kammeltal to the eastern valley of the Hasberg land border . Nobody was injured or killed. On May 1, 1978, as part of the municipal reform, the previously independent Loppenhausen with the districts of Oberberghöfe and Unterberghöfe was incorporated into the municipality of Breitenbrunn.
