Location of the Peiting market in the Weilheim-Schongau district | ||
Peiting is a market in the Upper Bavarian district of Weilheim-Schongau .
Surrounded by the moraine hills Schlossberg, Kalvarienberg , Schnaidberg and Bühlach, Peiting is a place that, despite the increase in population after the Second World War , was able to retain its Bavarian village character. Numerous farms are located outside the town center in various hamlets . The place name is probably derived from the noble family of Peuting , who probably settled in the local area as early as the 6th century. The place is historically significant as the headquarters of the Guelphs who once lived here .
The Herzogsägmühle settlement , a Diakonie facility , also belongs to the municipality of Peiting .
geography
location
Peiting is located in the Oberland region to the east of Schongau near the east bank of the Lech , which the municipality actually borders only southwest of federal highway 17 in an unpopulated area. The Peitinger Mühlbach (also called Peitnach) flows through the local area in a northerly direction and flows into the Lech in the municipality near Lech barrage 7.

history
Until the church is planted

Finds of first settlement on the east bank of the Lech go back to the third millennium BC. The earliest finds are a stone ax and pottery shards. There are Bronze Age graves on the Bühlachberg, and Celts and Romans also left traces. In Roman times there was a large manor with many outbuildings on the "Neukirchwiesen". After the Romans, the Alemanni settled the area.
The first documentary mention of Peiting was in 1055 as the "new" Peiting Castle of the Welfs who lived here . The Welfenburg was located on the Schlossberg and was the focus of all actions of the Lechrainer Welfen. These Guelphs also took part in crusades and founded the Rottenbuch and Steingaden monasteries . The Peitinger Guelph line died out in 1191. The last of this line was Welf VI. The Welfenburg partially collapsed due to an earthquake in 1348. In 1438 Peiting was granted market rights by the Bavarian Duke Ernst . The city of Schongau saw itself by this exposure of Peiting in "their freedoms" and asked the Duke to deny the Peitingers the market rights again. The request was rejected, and Duke Albrecht confirmed the Peitingern market rights again in 1455. In 1490 the Peitinger Market Court was merged with the city of Schongau. In the Thirty Years War , in 1632, the Welfenburg was completely destroyed by the Swedes. At the same time, the "hot fever" (probably typhus ) broke out, from which around 400 people died in Peiting in 1632. In both the War of the Spanish Succession and the War of the Austrian Succession , enemy troops attacked Peiting, plundered and pillaged it.
In the course of the administrative reforms in Bavaria in 1818, Peiting became an independent political municipality that belonged to the Schongau district court .
20th century
After the end of the First World War , a coal mine was built in Peiting . After 1945 1,500 displaced persons came to Peiting as refugees. In 1957, the Peiting coal mine had its highest workforce with 882 miners and 47 employees. In 1958 the then largest village in Upper Bavaria was again given formal market rights . In 1968 the mine was closed. A brief economic crisis followed. New businesses quickly settled.
Incorporations
On January 1, 1976, the previously independent municipality of Birkland was incorporated as part of the regional reform .
Population statistics
Between 1988 and 2019 the market grew from 10,316 to 11,425 by 1,109 inhabitants or 10.8%.

Community finances
In 2017, the municipal tax revenue was € 13,189,000, of which € 5,226,000 was trade tax revenue (net).
coat of arms
In 1438, Duke Ernst Peiting gave the town its own coat of arms, the Wittelsbach diamond coat of arms with a sloping, red crossbar. It was only the fourth award of the coat of arms to one place in Bavaria.
The white and blue diamonds indicate, on the one hand, the constant affiliation with old Bavaria and, on the other hand, the close relationship between the community and the Wittelsbach family. The red oblique left bar may have been useful to distinguish it from the sovereign diamond coat of arms. The design follows the description handed down in the coat of arms privilege of 1438. The coat of arms was awarded by Duke Ernst of Bavaria, as well as market freedom.
With ministerial permission, the municipality was allowed to use the historical coat of arms again in 1836, but it was forgotten again.
From then on, the depiction of the coat of arms was based on a tradition on a glass window in the Maria Egg chapel (Maria unter der Egg) and on the veteran flag.

traffic
Peiting is the junction of three federal highways. The B 472 runs from Irschenberg via Bad Tölz to Marktoberdorf in an east-west direction. The B 17 runs from Augsburg to Füssen in a north-south direction. The B 23 is the fastest connection from Peiting to Garmisch-Partenkirchen and on to the border crossing to Scharnitz in Tyrol. Until the beginning of the 1990s, the residents suffered from traffic jams and traffic noise, but today the town center can be bypassed on the well-developed bypass.
There are two train stations in Peiting on the Schongau – Peißenberg railway line :
- the Peiting Ost train station ,
- as well as the Peiting Nord stop
Diesel multiple units of the Bavarian Regiobahn operate on this route every hour . During the mining period, the mine had its own siding, which other companies continued to use until 2005 after the dismantling was completed. In addition, there was a narrow-gauge railway from Peiting Ost to the peat factory in the Schwarzlaichmoor until the 1950s .
