history
Settlement before the village was founded
The first local finds date back to the Hallstatt period (750 to 450 BC). This is indicated by the 14 burial mounds found in the municipality. In the area of today's communal bathing area, a 20 m × 7.5 m bathing facility of a Roman villa from the 3rd century AD was excavated in 1924. Further traces of settlement can be found from the period after Roman rule between 500 and 700 AD: skeleton finds with additions and a lance tip.
First documented mention up to the High Middle Ages
Schondorf was first mentioned in a document in 751, when a Count Engildeo from the Huosi family handed over his goods in "Scondorf" to the Benediktbeuern monastery . This property was lost again in the course of time. Subsequently there was a local nobility (those of Schondorf). They had the Jakobskirche built around 1150 . The Bavarian duke donated the church in Oberschondorf to the Dießen monastery in 1284.
High Middle Ages until 1818
It was not until the High Middle Ages that a distinction was made between Ober- and Unterschondorf. Every farm in Oberschondorf belonged to the Andechs noble family. Half each belonged to an Adelheid von Pergen and the other half to a Kunigunde from Schondorf-Hechenwang. At that time, Unterschondorf was owned by the Counts of Greifenberg. With the foundation of the Benedictine monastery Andechs in 1458, the Unterschondorfer with Ernst I and Albrecht III. new lords. In the 15th century, Ober- and Unterschondorf were part of the closed Hofmark Greifenberg. In 1507 Erhard von Perfall bought the Hofmark. Since the number of residents in Oberschondorf was steadily increasing, Provost Johannes Zallinger had a new church built. This was completed around 1499. It was dedicated to St. Martin of Tours . The weekly masses were held by the Utting “companion priest”. Since this did not appeal to the Oberschondorfer citizens, efforts were made to find their own priest. In 1520, the bills of the Episcopal Ordinariate Augsburg show Wolfgang Ostler to be the first Catholic pastor.
During the Thirty Years' War in 1628 and 1629, the plague took more than half of Schondorf's residents. In 1633 the Swedes moved along the west bank of the Ammersee and probably also plundered Schondorf.
Towards the end of the 17th century, the parish church in Oberschondorf and the church of St. Jacob in Unterschondorf were renovated. This particularly affected the choir altar, the pulpit and the seating. Through the secularization of 1803, the Bavarian state became the landlord in Schondorf. In the course of the administrative reforms in the Kingdom of Bavaria , the municipal edict of 1818 created the municipalities of Oberschondorf and Unterschondorf.
The period from 1818 to 1970
In 1848 Schondorf was incorporated into the jurisdiction of the Landsberg district court . Schondorf was initially the southern terminus of the Ammerseebahn, which opened on June 30, 1898 . The gap to Dießen am Ammersee was closed on December 24, 1898. The station was built on the boundary between Ober- and Unterschondorf and was already called "Schondorf" at that time.
In 1909 the first screw steamer called “Schondorf” was launched on the Ammersee. The ship had 80 hp and could carry 120 people. It was decommissioned in 1956. In 1912 the two places were connected to the electricity grid. With the gymnastics division, TSV 1920 Schondorf was founded in 1920 by 27 founding members.
The station building at Schondorfer Bahnhof was completely rebuilt in 1934. The technical facilities that were previously in the open were also given an enclosure. In addition, additional electrical systems were installed that were not allowed to be exposed to the weather. During the Second World War the two communities were not affected. In April 1945, American troops moved into the place. This was followed by a three-week occupation by French troops.
The German economic miracle also made itself felt in the Schondorf communities. Not only were the road conditions improved, but the expansion of the water supply and the construction of apartments for refugees and displaced persons were also promoted. In 1961 the second ship with the designation "Schondorf" with 225 HP was put into service.
In Oberschondorf
Since the agricultural area in the upper village was twice as large as in the lower village, mainly farms with high agricultural capacities were built here. The first inn was opened in the mid-1830s (Sailer). During the First World War , some bells from St. Anne's Church had to be given in to be used for war production. In 1925 the Hirt company in Kempten was able to cast three new bells through donations from the population and a foundation. But as early as 1942, four bells again had to be handed in for grenade production. Two bells could then be bought again, but it should not stay with these two. After a short time, the local pastor of Schondorf collected money for a third bell. In addition, the fourth was donated, and St. Anne's Church has kept these four bells to this day.
In Unterschondorf
The lower town was populated by fishermen and small farmers. These were not as economically efficient as in the upper town. Only with the expansion of the accommodation facilities at the beginning of the 20th century did the situation of the residents in Unterschondorf improve.
In 1876 the volunteer fire brigade was founded. On September 14, 1905, the Protestant pastor Julius Lohmann founded the "South German State Education Home" (today the Landheim Schondorf Foundation). On January 5, 1919, a storm surge occurred on the Ammersee. This tore up numerous piers. Broken reeds were also thrown over the sea wall. In the 1920s and 1930s, the river promenade planned by Toni Ruhr was implemented south of the steamboat landing stage.
With the seizure of power by the National Socialists , Joachim von Moltke , who lived in Unterschondorf, took over the mayor's office, but soon afterwards became district leader of the Landsberg am Lech district.
After the war ended, the American troops confiscated some villas on the lake. A hospital for displaced persons was set up in the Landheim for a short time . The promenade was repaired in 1950, now widened to the north. In 1954 a new parish church (Holy Cross) was built in Unterschondorf.
Since 1970
On January 1, 1970, the previously independent municipalities were merged. For this purpose a new town hall was built in the new center of the village. The old town halls of Ober- and Unterschondorf were converted into social housing.
On May 1, 1978, the administrative community of Schondorf am Ammersee was created by ordinance of the government of Upper Bavaria . Thus the administrations of the still existing independent communities Schondorf, Greifenberg and Eching were combined. The seat of the administrative community is Schondorf.
On the evening of September 15, 1981, ten-year-old schoolgirl Ursula Herrmann was kidnapped . She was on the way from her grandmother in Schondorf to Eching am Ammersee. The child was locked up and buried in a 72 cm × 60 cm × 139 cm box buried in the forest floor in the "Weingarten" forest. Since the ventilation pipe was too long, the girl suffocated after several hours. A ransom of two million DM (1.02 million euros) was demanded, which was never handed over. The body was found on October 4, 1981. The prosecution started the investigation. The investigation only led to the arrest of a 58-year-old man in Kappeln in May 2008 . In a circumstantial trial on March 25, 2010 he was sentenced to life imprisonment for extortionate kidnapping resulting in death.
As a result of heavy rainfall (up to 180 l / m²), the Ammersee exceeded its mean water level by around two meters during the Whitsun flood in 1999 . The lake promenade and the adjoining lake road were flooded.
In August 2005, the tracks at Schondorf station were rebuilt. Since then there have been no more works and goods tracks.
In 2010 an energetic modernization of the town hall took place. An energy saving of 65 percent was achieved. The budget for the renovation was in the region of 1.5 million euros. The subsidy from the economic stimulus package II amounted to around 720,100 euros.

Economy and Infrastructure
traffic
Road traffic
State road 2055 (Dießen - Greifenberg) runs through the village. State road 2346 flows into it at the level crossing on the northern outskirts. The remaining roads are municipal roads. All local roads are 30 km / h zones .
Rail transport
The single-track Ammerseebahn runs through Schondorf from Mering via Geltendorf and Dießen to Weilheim . It is managed by Deutsche Bahn as the route book route 985. The Schondorf (Bay) train station is located on the Ammerseebahn between the districts of Oberschondorf and Unterschondorf and about 800 meters from the banks of the Ammersee . The train crossing station now has two platform tracks. The continuous main track is on a central platform , the overtaking track is on the house platform .
On June 30, 1898, the Royal Bavarian State Railways opened the Ammerseebahn section from Mering to Schondorf. Schondorf station was built as the southern end of the line. At the same time, the section from Dießen to Weilheim was put into operation. Alternatively, ships ran across the Ammersee between Schondorf and Dießen. When the gap between Schondorf and Dießen was closed on December 23, 1898, Schondorf station became a through station .
A wooden structure was erected as a reception building. In 1934, the wooden building was replaced with a three-story brick building in the local style with a crooked roof , three dormers on the track side and wooden-clad gable walls in the roof area. The technical equipment previously located in the open was accommodated in a signal box front building attached to the reception building. To the south of the reception building there is an auxiliary building which is connected to the reception building by a half-open waiting hall. Later, the building's hip roof was replaced by a gable roof. The train crossing station had extensive track systems. In addition to the continuous main track on the central platform (track 2), there was a passing track on the house platform (track 1) and a platform-free track 3, initially accessible from both directions, from which a connecting track to the Prix company branched off. In the post-war period, the switch on track 3, in the direction of Utting, was removed and a buffer stop was installed. At the goods shed there was a loading track connected to the passing track in both directions. At the end of the 1980s, track 3 was dismantled to such an extent that it only served as a connection to the siding. In August 2005, the track systems were again greatly simplified. The loading track and the siding were dismantled, only the continuous main track and the passing track still exist. In addition, the usable track length has been shortened by about a third by relocating the switches and signals. In the summer of 2012, the two level crossings in the north exit of the station, which had previously been closed mechanically by means of two barrier winches via wire pulls, were dismantled and replaced by a fully electronic system. The mechanical signal box of the standard design (Berlin 1936) is still in operation and even the ticket office is temporarily manned. For this reason too, Schondorf is now the only station on the south branch of the route that has an accessible heated waiting room.
The station has been served every hour since 2008 by trains of the Bayerische Regiobahn (BRB) from Augsburg-Oberhausen to Schongau . During rush hour , amplifier trains run every half hour between Geltendorf and Peißenberg . All trains that run on the route serve the station. Long-distance trains have not been running on the Ammerseebahn since 1991 .
