history

Mary Annunciation

Although Niederscheyern was an independent municipality, its history is closely linked to that of the Scheyern Monastery . Contrary to the expectations of many, old books from the Scheyern monastery confirmed that the village of Niederscheyern is older than Scheyern itself.

In earlier centuries Niederscheyern was the destination of numerous pilgrimages. At the beginning of the 16th century, a life-size statue of Our Lady was erected in the church and was soon thought to have miraculous powers. For the period from 1635 to 1804 there are around 16,000 entries on answers to prayer in ten books of miracles . Today there are around 3,500 Catholics in the Scheyern parish and around 1,500 in the Niederscheyern branch, which has now become a curate.

On May 1, 1978, Niederscheyern was incorporated into the district town of Pfaffenhofen an der Ilm.

today
