One of the caves by walls

Traces of settlement point to an early settlement of the area around walls: in the vineyard caves there are numerous relics from human prehistoric times. The remains of a Neolithic settlement and a Celtic iron smelting site were found on the southern outskirts. In the area of ​​today's church there was a Roman manor (today still a Roman grave monument in the church).

The immigrating Bavarians called in the 6./7. Century the place in view of the still visible remains of the Roman wall Murun .

1100 to 1342 the territorial highness of the place belonged to the county of Lechsgemünd, later the county of Lechsgemünd-Graisbach . The Augsburg bishopric already owned large estates in Muron early on , including the church set, as evidenced by a document from 1143. The Augsburgers built their own canon office within walls. From 1342 Mauern belonged to the Bavarian district court Graisbach, later Graisbach-Monheim.
