The first traces of settlement from the early Bronze Age can be found between Pfaffenhofen and Niederscheyern . Grave mounds from the Bronze Age and the older Iron Age have been preserved, especially in forest areas north of Pfaffenhofen. Viereckschanzen are the only indications of the Celtic settlement of the Pfaffenhofen area.

middle Ages

The early history of Pfaffenhofen is largely unknown. However, the majority of local history researchers assume that monks of the former Benedictine monastery Ilmmünster built the Pfaffenhöfe near Altenstadt in the current north of the city in the 8th century.

Pfaffenhofen was first mentioned in a document in 1140. The name Markt has existed since 1197.

In the 13th century the Dienstmannenburg "Trosberg" is occupied on a hill near ponds. In 1318, the market in Pfaffenhofen was awarded the Munich City Code by Ludwig the Bavarians . The oldest seal of Pfaffenhofen is proven from the year 1333. In 1388 Pfaffenhofen, including the church and castle, was cremated in the great city war.

In 1396 a princely wedding took place in Pfaffenhofen: Ernst , son of Duke Johann , married Elisabeth , daughter of Duke Barnabon of Milan from the Visconti family .

"Heinrich der Pröchsel" was named mayor in 1412. Pfaffenhofen was first mentioned as a town in 1438. The city ​​fortifications include a wall with 17 towers and 4 secured gates.

Early modern age

Weberhäusl am Draht, built in 1705, meanwhile extensively renovated

From 1632 to 1634 the Thirty Years' War put great strain on the population in Pfaffenhofen; the rampant plague reduced the population considerably.

On July 17, 1704 the suburb of Pfaffenhofen was set on fire by English hussars in the run-up to the battle of Höchstädt . 43 buildings were destroyed by flames, including the predecessor of the Weberhäusl am Draht.

During the War of the Austrian Succession , the Battle of Pfaffenhofen took place near the town on April 15, 1745 , in which the Austrians defeated a French - Bavarian army . This defeat forced Bavaria to leave the alliance against Austria.

19th century

Royal city

In 1806 Pfaffenhofen became a "royal Bavarian city" in the course of political developments during the Napoleonic period - Bavaria rose to become a kingdom. In 1812 this royal city of Pfaffenhofen also received a new coat of arms.

Professional structure 1809

At the beginning of the 19th century, the city of Pfaffenhofen had a wide range of trades, some of which are now unknown. In 1809 there were 69 different professions and 173 traders. In the case of 319 residential buildings at the time, more than 50% of the house directors were active in a trade.

Railway construction and industrial settlement

In the middle of the 19th century a "Post omnibus" line was set up, which brought the first improvements with a connection from Munich via Lohhof, Pfaffenhofen and further via Ingolstadt to Eichstätt. The decisive development of the traffic system and with it the city of Pfaffenhofen brought the year 1867 with it: the commissioning of the railway line Munich – Ingolstadt with a train station in Pfaffenhofen. In the period that followed, the first machine manufacturing companies settled near the train station. The initially single-track line was converted to double-track operation on September 1, 1891.

Frame saw from the Zierlmühle: Product of the Stocker company

One example of the establishment of a machine factory near the train station is the Stocker machine factory.

Since the early 19th century, the owners initially ran a hammer and weapons smithy at the Daselmühle near Mitterscheyern. In 1882 Kaspar Stocker settled in Pfaffenhofen at Münchener Strasse 26. He established a factory that manufactured circular and pendulum saws, split gates and other machines and individual parts. The company gained a good reputation after just a few years. The level of awareness grew beyond the surrounding area, reached the city of Munich and even abroad. The company was present at the world exhibition in Paris with its 68 products and received an award.

New buildings

The new town hall was opened in 1868 and has shaped the main square ever since. Two school buildings followed before the turn of the century.

Electrification and telephone

In 1899 electric lighting found its way into Pfaffenhofen and in the same year the first public telephone company with ten connections was opened.

20th century

1914 to 1945 - a time of upheaval

The First World War was also an epochal turning point for the city of Pfaffenhofen. After the human losses and emotional wounds caused by the great war, the change from the German Empire to the Weimar Republic was accompanied by enormous social changes that also had an impact on the small town.

Despite the currency devaluation of 1923, the Evangelical Church was completed in 1926 . Before that, services had to be held in the town hall.

In 1929 the city's first folk festival, the so-called Hallertau Oktoberfest, took place.

In 1932, when Georg Hipp began to use the old Weinmiller hop hall, the company “Nutrients Hipp” began to develop. In the decades until today, it has become the most important company in Pfaffenhofen, the Hipp Holding .

In the 1933 Reichstag election , the NSDAP achieved its highest election result in Upper Bavaria with 43.1 percent of the vote in Pfaffenhofen. As early as 1923, some Hitler supporters from Pfaffenhofen took part in the so-called “March to the Feldherrnhalle” . Some SS men from Pfaffenhofen made careers, Anton Thumann is a particularly vivid example . Between 1933 and the end of the war in 1945 there was lively support from the ruling regime among the city's citizens. The memorial for the victims of National Socialism pays tribute to some of the fates of those affected during this period.

The post-war period in the 20th century

The reestablishment of the SPD - the regional organization Bavaria was on October 6, 1945 in Pfaffenhofen an der Ilm instead.

In 1964 a grammar school was built in Pfaffenhofen. 1972–1973 it received a new building; the old building was handed over to the secondary school in 1976. 1966–1968 the school center was built on Gerolsbach. Since then, this center has grown continuously and has been modernized many times.

In 1972 eleven formerly independent municipalities were incorporated; Pfaffenhofen had 13,362 inhabitants. In 1978 the former community of Niederscheyern was incorporated. This community reform let the area of ​​the city grow far into the district.

In 1981 the trotting track , the so-called hop mile , was opened. In 1988, the 550th anniversary of the city elevation took place over three days.

In 1994 the school and sports center in Niederscheyern was opened. The first citizens' festival took place in 1999.

21st century

In 2001 the new outdoor pool was opened and the biomass cogeneration plant was put into operation.

In 2013, the district town narrowly escaped a flood disaster - in the night from Sunday to Monday, June 3, 2013 (maximum water level around 4:00 a.m.). All night long, the emergency services had to install sandbag barriers, pump out basements and cordon off streets. The middle school, the EON site and Schulstrasse, like the sculpture park and the sewage treatment plant, were under water. In the direction of Wolnzach the Ilm valley looked like a lake landscape. The weirs and overflow barriers were opened wide and turned into thundering waterfalls. The Ilm and the Gerolsbach stood on the edge of their banks and the groundwater pressed hard into the cellars. The district administrator issued a disaster alarm and the schools remained closed.

Religions

Three dioceses are responsible for the Catholic parishes in Pfaffenhofen and the districts : Augsburg , Munich-Freising and Regensburg . The diocese border between Munich and Augsburg runs right through the clinic.

The Evangelical Lutheran parish in Pfaffenhofen has existed since 1897, and services are held in the Kreuzkirche .

Since the 1960s there has been an Evangelical Free Church ( Baptist ) congregation with a full-time pastor.

There is also a New Apostolic Church congregation in Pfaffenhofen .

The Turkish-Islamic community DITIB has had its own mosque with a community hall on Hohenwarter Strasse since 2016.

Under the title “Table of Religions”, events take place regularly and at the invitation of the international cultural association, in which the focus is on getting to know and interacting with other cultures and religions. In addition to the above Christian churches, the Buddhist community, the Turkish-Islamic community DITIB and other non-church groups with an international cultural background such as the Albanian-German cultural association Sali Çekaj, the Vietnamese group and representatives of the city participate.

Regional garden show 2017

The city of Pfaffenhofen adIlm was the host of the small state horticultural show in 2017 and thus prevailed with its concept of nature in the city against the competing cities of Mühldorf a.Inn and Freystadt . With the so-called small state horticultural show, viable urban planning concepts for more green spaces in the inner city area are to be implemented. For “Nature in Pfaffenhofen 2017”, the planning for renovation measures in the Pfaffenhofen city center started in autumn 2011.

For Pfaffenhofen, the 2017 garden show was a big win: a varied program was held over the 89 days. Over 330,000 visitors were counted and 14,500 season tickets were sold - the latter an absolute record for a regional garden show. The area of ​​"Natur in Pfaffenhofen 2017" will remain open to the citizens, and they will now benefit from three new parks, five entrances to the Ilm and a total of 5.8 hectares of green space that are permanently available. The regional garden show was often referred to as "The Pfaffenhofen Summer Tale".

During the garden show, the area was divided into four areas: the sports and leisure park, the community park, the Ilminsel and the fairground. With the exception of the exhibition on the Volksfestplatz, these will remain permanently. Under the motto “Pfaffenhofen an der Ilm”, one of the goals was to renature the Ilminsel and make the Ilm more accessible. For this purpose, terraces were built on the Ilminsel, through which one can sit on the bank and wade through the water. A Belvedere with a beautiful view over the river and a fish pass at the Arlmühle were built in the Bürgerpark. The banks of the Ilm have also been flattened in the sports and leisure park, there are now flower meadows and gravel banks.

Organizations in the cultural sector

To promote jazz and the visual arts, the association “Künstlerwerkstatt e. V. “founded. Jazz concerts have been held in the workshop near the Pfaffenhofen train station since 1996. The workshop now offers regular concerts and exhibitions. The association works non-profit. It is financed through donations and membership fees.

In December 2007, under the name “Neuer Pfaffenhofener Kunstverein e. V. “founded a non-profit art association. At its head are the writer Steffen Kopetzky and the painter Christoph Ruckhäberle . The association organizes exhibitions, readings and visits to art exhibitions.

The “Internationale Kulturverein Pfaffenhofen e. V. “has set itself the goal of intercultural and interreligious work as well as integration. The "Intercultural and Interreligious Weeks 2018" were a major project of the International Cultural Association. The program included a. the international cultural festival, an exhibition with art from Southeast Europe, the lecture by the Islamic scholar Hamideh Mohagheghi and the children's day “Tell a story”.
