history

For the first time Megmannsdorf can be found as Meginestorf 1136/1137 in the founding document of the Regensburg bishop Heinrich I for the Augustinian canons of Schamhaupten . In 1382 a local nobleman was named Seyboth von Megmannsdorf. In 1554 the dilapidated Schamhaupten provost and thus Megmannsdorf came under secular administration; In 1606/09, under the Bavarian Duke Maximilian I, with the approval of Pope Paul V, the University of Ingolstadt received the income from the provosts.

In 1875, an official place directory described the village of the Hemau district office in the Upper Palatinate administrative region as follows: “D [orf], z [ur] k [atholic] parish and School Pondorf 2.0 kilometers, to the post office Sandersdorf 6.0 kilometers, 80 inhabitants, 70 buildings, 15 horses, 73 Rv. [Head of cattle]. “By 1900 the village had 15 residential buildings.

After 1927 Megmannsdorf came to the municipality of Breitenhill , which was incorporated back into Winden on April 1, 1949 . In 1969 a land consolidation took place . With the municipal reform , which came into force on July 1, 1972, the municipality of Winden and thus also Megmannsdorf came from the Upper Palatinate district of Riedenburg, which was dissolved at the same time, to the formerly Middle Franconian, now Upper Bavarian district of Eichstätt. Finally, the municipality of Winden incorporated into the Altmannstein market on July 1, 1977.

In 1983 there were three full-time agricultural businesses and 13 part-time businesses as well as an inn; the land consolidation was completed in 1969. In 1987 the church village consisted of 17 buildings with a total of 19 apartments. Street names were introduced in 2011; since then, the most frequented local road has been called "Jurahöhe".

Buildings

Filial church of St. Johannes Baptist
Catholic branch church of St. Johannes Baptist

The choir tower church with a western sign is surrounded by a cemetery wall and stands on the southern edge of the village. It comes from the Romanesque period ; the remains of a Romanesque entrance can be seen. Around 1700 the medieval church was given a baroque change through extensive renovations . The leaf on the high altar shows the baptism of Jesus by John. A 15th century Turkish Madonna's head is attached as a wooden sculpture above the choir arch . The figure of Mary on the left side altar dates from the end of the 15th century. On the right side altar is a wooden sculpture of the church patron from the 16th century. The church tower has a stepped gable with a gable roof; the two bells were cast in 1950 by Johann Hahn in Landshut . An older bell was made by Christian Felix in Ingolstadt in 1751 . According to legend, the bells of the little church were sunk in the so-called Red Fountain during the Thirty Years' War to save them from destruction.

On July 8, 1954, Johann Hundsdorfer (born April 22, 1928 in Megmannsdorf; † December 12, 2008 in Pförring), from 1982 pastor and episcopal clergyman in Oberdolling , celebrated his primacy in the church . In 2004, he dedicated "For in Megmannsdorf born and the stranger dead, and for those in the two world wars killed and missing" a standing at the church metal cross with the portrait of his patron .
