history

The first traces of settlement date from the La Tène period (500 BC to 100 AD; later Iron Age) by the Celts . So far no traces of Roman settlement activity have been found, but one can assume a long settlement tradition, since as early as 887 Massenhausen was mentioned as Massinhuson in a deed of donation from Freising Bishop Waldo . The place gained importance in the Middle Ages as the seat of the noble family Massenhausen ( Castle Massenhausen ). This rose in the course of the 13th century to the most distinguished Bavarian tournament aristocracy and had the marshal office of the Bavarian duke in its possession. The rule of Massenhausen developed under these.

After the male line of the Massenhauser died out, Hans von Fraunberg zu Haag inherited the rule of Massenhausen in 1431 ; the Fraunbergers sold it to the Counts of Hardeck in 1490.

Prince-Bishop Philipp von der Pfalz acquired Hofmark Massenhausen with extensive possessions and numerous villages for the Hochstift Freising in 1499 - to the north of the older Freisingian Hofmark Ottenburg . It was a closed Hofmark ; the keeper of the Freisingischen Hofmark Massenhausen had his seat in the stately palace of Massenhausen.

During the Thirty Years War , the village was devastated by the Swedes under Gustav II Adolf in 1632 and by Duke Wilhelm of Saxe-Weimar in 1634 . The village also suffered from the War of the Austrian Succession from 1740–1748; the castle was destroyed and the keeper moved to Freising.

Through the secularization of 1803 Massenhausen came to the Electorate of Bavaria. In the context of the 2nd community edict of 1818, Massenhausen became an independent community. On January 1, 1972, the neighboring community of Giggenhausen was incorporated into Massenhausen. As a result of the municipal territorial reform , Massenhausen was forcibly incorporated into the Neufahrn municipality on May 1, 1978.
