Peißenberg is a market in the Upper Bavarian district of Weilheim-Schongau . The original place was called Unterpeißenberg until 1919.
geography
Peißenberg is located in the middle of the Pfaffenwinkel in the Alpine foothills, between the Hohen Peißenberg and the Guggenberg on the left bank of the Ammer . The area is rural.
Community structure
The community has two larger parts: north ("village") and south ("Wörth"), which are separated by the mining dump.
The municipality has 25 officially named municipal parts (the type of settlement is given in brackets ):

Neighboring communities
Neighboring communities are clockwise, starting in the north: Wessobrunn (districts of Forst and Paterzell) , Polling , Oberhausen , Böbing and Hohenpeißenberg .
geology
Peißenberg is located at the junction of the foreshore molasse to Faltenmolasse . Coming from the north, the so-called Peißenberger Schuppe (formerly called Mulde) forms the first geologically distinctive area of the fold molasse in the Peißenberg area. The Rottenbucher Mulde follows further south. In the steeply sloping troughs or shed legs, the coal-bearing layers originally located deeper also come very close to the surface of the earth, which enabled the coal to be extracted there. The Hohe Peißenberg is located on the southernmost part of the foreland molasse, the layers of which have been erected steeply upwards (erect molasses). Both the deposition of the layers and their later unfolding took place in the age of the Tertiary . Below the molasse rocks, in the Malm limestone, large thermal water deposits are suspected that could be used geothermally. The tertiary layers are overlaid towards the top by Quaternary layers of different thicknesses (especially gravel and moraine ).
climate
The climate in Peißenberg is relatively cool, with an annual average temperature of 7.5 ° C. The average precipitation is 1200 mm. The wettest months are June and July, with a high value also being registered in January. This is spread over roughly 160 days, while snow falls in half of these days.
Flood events
In 1999 the Ammer flooded. Apart from a few full cellars, nothing happened in the village itself, but the campsite near the sewage treatment plant was completely flooded.
The next flood came in August 2005. This time, too, the dam was able to save the place thanks to its elevation after 1999, but an unfinished bridge for the bypass road was destroyed by the tree trunks building up - even a deliberately initiated dam failure could not prevent this. During the months of June and July the bridge had not been allowed to be built due to flood protection measures (at that time, however, the Ammer had low water), and when construction work resumed in August, the flood occurred. The campsite was also badly affected in 2005. A heavy rain event in the summer of 2016 in the area of Schongauer Strasse and Bachstrasse caused great damage when the Wörthersbach overflowed its banks.
history
Until the church is planted
The oldest finds of human activity in the Peißenberg area date from the Bronze Age and Hallstatt Age . There were also coin finds from Roman times, and row graves date from the Merovingian period.
The first written mentions come from the 11th century, including from records of the Benediktbeuern monastery , which had possessions here since the 10th century. The oldest document in the Peißenberg archive bears a seal from 1659 and refers to a previous letter from 1602. An important event was the title health resort for the north-western part of the town, at that time Sulz , which thus became Bad Sulz .
The place belonged to the Rentamt München and to the regional court Rauhenlechsberg of the Electorate of Bavaria . In the course of the administrative reforms in the Kingdom of Bavaria , today's municipality was created with the municipal edict of 1818 .
Name change, market
The community of Unterpeißenberg was officially renamed Peißenberg on March 1, 1919 and made the market .
Mining
In the early 19th century, the systematic mining of pitch coal on the Hohen Peißenberg began. The occurrences had been known since around 1580, when a shepherd boy wanted to make a campfire and suddenly the whole ground caught fire. Due to the growing demand for coal in the course of industrialization , the natural resources became more and more interesting for mining. As a result, Peißenberg developed into a mining village, still visible today in the many tunnels and in the new and old mine dump . It is assumed that the spa source of Bad Sulz dried up due to mining, which is why it lost its spa status. A maximum of around 3500 people worked in the Peißenberg mine. From 1927 the mine was operated by the BHS . In December 1919, 15 miners were killed in explosions in the Peißenberg mine. Although it was state-of-the-art at the time, mining was initially discontinued at the Hausham and Penzberg sites in 1966 and finally abandoned in Peißenberg in 1971. In order to create new jobs for the miners in a targeted manner after the mine was closed, production sites and companies were established in Peißenberg. The place keeps the memory of the mining era alive through the establishment of the mining museum.
During the Second World War there was an air raid on Peißenberg on February 27, 1945 , which probably should have hit the mine. Instead, buildings between Maistraße and Landesweg were hit and people died.
Incorporations
In the course of the regional reform in Bavaria , on January 1, 1978, parts of the dissolved municipality of Ammerhöfe with around 600 inhabitants at that time and St. Georg, a formerly remote farm, i.e. mainly agricultural properties mainly south of the place in a loose arrangement, became part of the municipality.
Population development
Between 1988 and 2018 the market grew from 10,694 to 12,595 by 1,901 inhabitants or 17.8%.

Religions
With around 7500 members, 56% of the population belong to the Roman Catholic Church , almost 1500 profess to be Protestant (11%). The rest are non-denominational or belong to another religious group.
The most important parishes are the Catholic Parish Community Peißenberg-Forst with the churches of St. Johannes Baptist in the north and St. Barbara in the south, as well as the Evangelical Lutheran parish, to which the neighboring towns of Hohenpeißenberg, Böbing, Rottenbuch and Oderding also belong, with the Friedenskirche.

Partner communities
Peißenberg has had a partnership with the French community of Saint-Brevin-les-Pins since 1986 . It is located at the mouth of the Loire in the Atlantic Ocean and thus approx. 1,300 km away. Furthermore, through an exchange that has existed since 1980, there is an unofficial partnership with Apremont , a village in the French Alps ( Savoy ).
badges and flags
The coat of arms of Peißenberg consists of crossed mallets and iron with a golden handle, tools that were previously used in mining and that represent the mining tradition. It also shows three golden bees, which indicate the beekeeping that was once very widespread in the municipality. They also symbolize the hard work of the miners and the population. In addition, the Polling monastery had bees and beekeeping in its coat of arms and the village of Unterpeißenberg was part of the Hofmark Polling until the secularization of 1804. The coat of arms has a black background. It stands for the pitch coal and its great importance for the development of the community in the past.
The flag is black and yellow according to the coat of arms colors.
Economy and Infrastructure
traffic
The two train stations in Peißenberg are:
- Peißenberg (formerlycalled Sulz works station) and
- Peißenberg Nord (formerlycalled Unterpeißenberg ) on the Weilheim – Peißenberg railway line
The Peißenberg station is the end of the Weilheim – Peißenberg and Schongau – Peißenberg lines . The first section from Weilheim to Unterpeißenberg station was opened in 1866. In 1875, a works railway for the coal transport of the Peißenberg mine from Unterpeißenberg to the Sulz works station went into operation. The previous works line was opened for passenger traffic in 1879, and Sulz station was renamed Peißenberg in 1880 . In 1917 the Royal Bavarian State Railways started operating on the local railway from Peißenberg via Peiting to Schongau . The line from Weilheim to Peißenberg was electrified by the Deutsche Reichsbahn in 1925 due to coal traffic. After the cessation of coal production in 1971, the overhead lines were no longer renewed and dismantled in 1983 because the line was no longer economical for the Deutsche Bundesbahn . Today, trains of the Bayerische Regiobahn (BRB) from Augsburg-Oberhausen to Schongau stop every hour at the Peißenberg and Peißenberg Nord stations , which are boosted to half-hourly intervals in the afternoon rush hour by booster trains between Geltendorf and Peißenberg.
The B 472 runs through the town center from Irschenberg to Marktoberdorf. In December 2008, a bypass road was opened to relieve the town, which leads past the market to the south and east. Not far to the east, near Huglfing , the B 2 (Munich - Garmisch-Partenkirchen) passes. The motorway junction is near Sindelsdorf, about 30 km east of the community.

Culture and sights
Museums
Peißenberg has a mining museum that reminds us of the time of coal mining . You can also visit an old tunnel while visiting the museum.
Buildings
In Peißenberg there is the medieval chapel St. Georg , which is privately owned but can be visited; Those interested can ask for the key at the St. Georg farm. The only pictorial representation of the martyrdom of St. Georgs from the 5th century instead of the well-known knight dragon representation.
Until the beginning of the 14th century, the Bisenperc Castle of the Counts of Seefeld, who belonged to the Counts of Andechs-Meranien, stood on the site of the chapel. The Berg des Biso or Burg des Biso is probably the namesake of the mountain and the village.
There is also the deep tunnel hall, formerly the work hall of the Peißenberg mine, which is used as an event hall after its renovation.
The crooked house was also on the main road . It was built by a miner on a moorland, which is why it tilted over time, so the owner had to straighten the soil every ten years. Today the moor was drained and in the meantime there is a new house in the place of the house.
The Mining Memorial Association has built a chapel on the Guggenberg to commemorate the miners. The altar of the chapel is a former mining hunt . The chapel is called the Knappen Gedächtniskapelle , or unofficially the Guggenberg Chapel ; some footpaths lead to her up the mountain.
Regular events
- On the last Sunday in October, the Leonhardifahrt takes place with around 200 horses, motif carriages and brass bands.
Trivia
The pitch coal mine was used in the 1960s as the backdrop for several external shoots of the television series Raumpatrouille - The Fantastic Adventures of the Orion Spaceship .
