history

The name Pierling is derived from the personal name Pircho, documented in Freising in the 8th century. Pierling was the seat of a main team at the time of the Electorate of Bavaria . In 1818, with the Bavarian community edict, the political community of Pierling was created, which included the towns of Frühling , Heiming, Hurtöst, Kirchberg, Oberwalchen, Oberweißkirchen, Schlichtersberg and Unterweißkirchen. Kirchstätt , which still belonged to the Pierling team, came to the Traunwalchen community .

On October 1, 1950, the government of Upper Bavaria formed the new community with the name Traunreut from areas of the communities Palling , Pierling, Stein an der Traun and Traunwalchen.

In the course of the municipal area reform, the places Ober- and Unterweißkirchen and Kirchberg came to Palling on January 1st, 1978 , the rest of the municipality came to the city of Traunreut.
