history

Michael Wening : Poxau Castle, early 18th century (today monastery)

Marklkofen belonged to the barons of Pfetten and the barons of Imsland. The place was part of the Electorate of Bavaria and included two closed court brands, the seat of which was the respective castle (middle / purlins, lower / Imsland). The barons of Fraunhofen were also owners until 1857. Through a donation from the head of the house at the time, the castle and property were given to the poor school sisters v. U. L. Fr. with the condition that a school should also be established therein. Until recently, 40 internal and 30 external students had been taught. In November 2006 the donation fell back to Count Christoph von Soden-Fraunhofen in Neufraunhofen, because the business, most recently a vocational school for child care, could no longer be maintained by the poor school sisters and the diocese of Regensburg could not join the foundation.

On October 15, 1875, Marklkofen was connected to the railway network when the Mühldorf – Pilsting railway line opened. However, the connection north of Marklkofen has been closed since 1969, while the southern section has only been used for freight traffic since September 27, 1970.
