In St. Georgen, Bronze Age settlement remains, an extensive urn cemetery from around 800 BC and an early Bavarian grave field from the 6th to 7th centuries AD were uncovered. The noble free von Haunsperg and their sister Mechtild probably donated the parish church of St. Georg in 1211. On March 10, 1297, the dukes of Bavaria renounced their bailiwick rights over the Georgskirche. Next to the church there was a castle of the Haunsperg, whereby the Haunsberger had their headquarters in the castle Haunsperg near Nussdorf . This castle is shown on a map of the Salzach from 1600 . Remains of this castle were found on the side of the sacristy when the church was being built in 1750. The church was richly endowed with endowments and special rights. Until 1620 the church was a Hofmark , i. That is, it had (until 1803) the lower jurisdiction and other rights ( hunting down ). This also included the right to run an inn (tavern just ). This right for the rectory was not revoked until 1938.
