Osterwarngau
Osterwarngau is a district of the Upper Bavarian municipality of Warngau and is located about one kilometer northeast of (Ober-) Warngau at 715.5 m above sea level. NN. The place was founded around the same time as Warngau, its name is first mentioned in 1017: Ostrinwaringaw belonged to the Tegernsee monastery at this time . Today the village is popular mainly because of its quiet location and the urban Bavarian appearance with magnificent farms. Osterwarngau is also the starting point for many hikes and bike tours around and on the Taubenberg . Most of the time, the route leads those seeking relaxation and locals past the picturesque pilgrimage chapel of Nüchternbrunn and the Taubenberg observation tower .
History of origin
From the early Middle Ages to the 11th century, Osterwarngau and Helfendorf formed special centers in an organized royal estate under the protection of Emperor Heinrich II, which the "-gau" in the place name reminds of to this day. The later expansion of the settlement indicates the division of the center into Ostergau and Oberwarngau. In 1315 the place was first mentioned as a parish to which the places Darching , Laind, Föching , Fellach and Roggersdorf belonged.
A church belonging together of Ostergau and Oberwarngau, however, probably never existed. The tensions between the Tegernsee monastery and the Counts of Warngau probably sealed an early separation of the districts. The fact that the relatively small town became the seat of a parish is probably due to the competing relationship between the Tegernsee Monastery and the Diocese of Freising . The latter wanted to counter the Tegernsee's own church policy with the parish of Osterwarngau.
The current place name was probably also created during this time, namely to distinguish Warngau in the east of Warngau, "Ostrinwaringaw" from Oberwarngau, then renamed Westerwarngau .
Years 1300 to 1900
The remoteness of the settlement area often made the major political and religious events of these centuries pass without a trace. Be it the crusades , the time of the law of the fist , the power struggle between emperor and pope or the peasant wars . From 1347 to 1351 the bubonic plague also claimed victims in the area of Osterwarngau, as indicated by plague crosses, pillars and chapels.
In 1402 the parish church of St. George was built. The building, which is predominantly Gothic, was completely renovated in 1752. This happened under the supervision of the Weyarn Monastery , into which Osterwarngau was incorporated in July 1596. From 1639 on, the place was fully integrated into the monastery. In 1501 Osterwarngau got its second church, the Frauenkirche in honor of the Virgin Mary, which today is the focus of church life.
In the years around 1630 and 1635 there were wolf plagues in the Warngau area. The densely wooded Taubenberg served the wolves as a good shelter. During this time the farmers complained about great losses of cattle, the hunters the same with game. Wolf hunts took place to curb hungry poachers. The Swedes , who entered Munich in 1632 , and the expanding Thirty Years' War also brought hardship to the region . After Sweden withdrew in 1633, the violent acts of brutal immigrant troops of the Spanish Duke Feria caused fear and horror in Osterwarngau. Many locals fell victim to the soldiers in a very brutal way . Shortly before Christmas 1633, 15,000 peasants rose up from Rosenheim , via Haag to Neumarkt, to the resistance, which expanded into the general peasant uprising of Upper Bavaria . In 1634 the remaining Spanish soldiers disappeared from the area, and the plague regained the upper hand among those who remained .
In 1642, Hans Hueber built the Manhard Chapel on the southwestern outskirts of the village as a thank you for surviving the Thirty Years' War and the plague.
From 1646 it was possible to send children to the Weyarn Abbey School. Since only wealthy parents could afford this, the Osterwarngau residents needed their own "school", as the "schools" in Allerheiligen and Holzkirchen belonged to the Tegernsee monastery. In 1690 there were supposed to have been lessons in Nüchterbrunn, around 1760 also in the village. In 1857, Osterwarngau finally had its own school building, in which operations were now at least somewhat regulated.
The Frauenkirche was renovated in 1880 and in the following years.
