history

Basilica of St. Peter and Paul

In Petersberg, the Roman road Augsburg - Petersberg forked with the Straßbach ( Markt Indersdorf ) branch to Freising and via Rumeltshausen - Dachau to Oberföhring .

Around the year 1000 the Wittelsbachers built Glaneck Castle (Wittelsbach County Glaneck) on the mountain . This was given up after the Count's move to Scheyern , donated to the church and converted into the Petersberg Monastery from 1104, which existed until 1119 when the monks moved into the newly founded Scheyern Monastery .

Today the castle site with the still clearly recognizable neck ditch in the west is designated as a ground monument . The basilica of St. Peter and Paul is located on the south side of the former castle .
