history

The memorial stone for Blessed Gamelbert in front of the rectory

Michaelsbuch, originally Puch , was probably founded as early as the 6th century. The place is particularly known for the life and work of Blessed Gamelbert in the 8th century. The noble Gamelbert worked 50 years as a pastor in Buch and founded the Metten Monastery . There his baptized child Utto became the first abbot. In 1294 the parish Michaelsbuch was incorporated into the Metten monastery. With the exception of the years 1803 to 1852, Benedictines from Metten always looked after the parish.

The name Michaelsbuch was not given until the 13th century after the patron saint of the parish church St. Michael. Mychelspouch is mentioned in the second Duke Surbar , which was built before 1300, as part of the Deggendorf district court . In 1464 Michaelsbuch appears as the main team, in 1474 and 1602 as the chairman . In the description from 1752, a part of the church village Rottenmann still belonged to the Michaelsbuch chairmanship.
