history

Until the church is planted

For the first time Pähl is in the time of Tassilos III. mentioned in a document. It speaks of Pouile or Poule , which in turn comes from the Latin words bovile, bos and bovis . Thus, the likely meaning leads to “cattle enclosure”.

The place soon developed into an important mansion with three castles, two of which are still preserved. The noble seat Pähl (high castle) belonged to the Andechs monastery . The Counts of Vieregg owned the Lower Castle with an open Hofmark (to the closed Hofmark Tutzing). Pähl belonged to the Rentamt München and to the district court Weilheim of the Electorate of Bavaria .

With the municipal edict of 1818 , the municipality of Pähl, which belonged to the Weilheim district court , was created.
