In the course of the administrative reforms in Bavaria , today's municipality was created with the municipal edict of 1818 . In 1847 Dominican women took over the buildings of the old monastery and built a boarding school for girls, which is now run as the St. Maria secondary school.

coat of arms

Blazon : In Green a thriving rising on silver side four mountain lion silver; behind a golden oblique wave bar emanating from the middle of the upper edge of the shield.

Explanation: In 1296, Count Berengar von Leonsberg founded an Augustinian monastery in Niederviehbach and transferred most of his property there to him. In the first half of the 14th century, the monastery acquired further property from the Lords of Eschlbach (community of Niederviehbach). Until secularization, the Klosterhofmark Niederviehbach with Eschlbach was the responsible lower court district for the area of ​​today's municipality. Symbols from the coat of arms of the Counts of Leonberg (lion on Vierberg) and the Lords of Eschlbach (wave-diagonal bar) are particularly suitable for symbolizing local history. The latter figure also shows the place name base word “-bach”.

Culture and sights

The former monastery church and current parish church of St. Maria has the consecration dates 1355 and 1388. In the years from 1670 to 1690 it was heavily modified by repairs to the nave and the expansion of the sacristy . The 38 meter long nave is divided into the lay church in the east and the sister church in the west. Several figures of saints and a stone Maria from around 1400 on the altars from 1755 and 1680 are significant from the interior , as is a late Romanesque crucifix from the second half of the 13th century.

Adjacent to the church are the medieval, Baroque-style east wing (today the parsonage) with the house chapel from 1233 and the monastery buildings built by Johann Michael Fischer from 1731 to 1733 , a long wing with three south wings. In 1785 the east wing was increased by one storey.
