Piesenkam is a place in the municipality of Waakirchen in the Upper Bavarian district of Miesbach .

history

middle Ages

The village probably originated from a settlement of several farms at a chapel, which was built in honor of St. James on the Way of St. James , which still leads through the village to this day. Piesenkam was first mentioned in a document in 818 under the name Poasinpurron ("near the buildings of Poaso"). In the 10th century the area around Piesenkam came under the rule of the Counts of Wolfratshausen . This was also the responsibility of the Bailiwick of the Tegernsee Monastery . The free farmers who had settled here since the beginning of the Middle Ages could not hold onto their property forever. In contrast to what is usual in the region, Tegernsee Monastery ultimately owned relatively little of the Piesenkam goods with only 60%, because the local church owned more than 30% of the property.

Baroque

The village church was renewed in the baroque era . The ceilings and high altars that have survived to this day were created in the process . The windows with the Gothic pointed arches were preserved.

The Allgau Chapel, a formerly much-visited pilgrimage chapel, was also built in the forest to the east of the village at this time. This is consecrated to Gregory the Great and Mary, the Mother of God . The patronage (in popular parlance ,kapkirta ) is celebrated every year on the Assumption of Mary . Integrated into the chapel is a hermit apartment for the so-called Klausner, who also gave school lessons there in the first half of the 18th century.

Second World War

Excitement arose when the bells of the Allgau Chapel, which had already been set up for collection and which were to be melted down together with the bells of the Jakobus Church for the production of weapons and ammunition, disappeared overnight. After the war, the bells suddenly rang again. A servant whom no one would have trusted to do the deed had secretly buried the bells.

politics

local community

Piesenkam belonged to the municipality of Schaftlach until the regional reform in 1978 . Since May 1, 1978, both places belong to the municipality of Waakirchen .

coat of arms

Officially, Piesenkam does not have a coat of arms. But there is an unofficial coat of arms that is often used, especially by the boys' association.

Parish

In contrast to the other parish places Piesenkam does not belong to the parish association Waakirchen-Schaftlach, but to the parish of Sachsenkam . Attempts on the part of Schaftlach in the 1950s and at the beginning of the 21st century to integrate the St. Jakobus branch church into the parish of Schaftlach failed due to the resistance of the Piesenkamer.

geography

Piesenkam is located on the extreme western border of the Miesbach district . In the west it borders on the municipality of Sachsenkam . Sachsenkam is also the only neighboring town of Piesenkam that is not separated by a forest. Shaftlach lies south of Piesenkam and Warngau in the east . In the north is the Eiberg. The moraine landscape around Piesenkam was created by pebbles pushed up by the Isar-Loisach glacier . In ancient times this area was covered by the Tethys Sea .

Piesenkamer song

The Piesenkamer song was written and composed by Josef Manhart, Brosl farmer from Piesenkam. In the original version, the yodel follows each verse. Nowadays it is usually only sung at the end of the song, as the "last stanza".

The text of the song is:

I know a little village hidden
behind hills, covered in red,
but so quiet and without worries, it
made my heart so warm.
Beautiful view of the mountains,
happy song in celebration of sound,
on this small piece of earth
is my home Piesenkam,
on this small piece of earth
is my home Piesenkam.

<Jodler>

The chapel on the forest hill, it
is consecrated to the Mother of God
, some souls wander there,
find consolation in their suffering.
And the bells are ringing there,
as happy as Engelsang,
who mischievously hid themselves
in my homeland Piesenkam
during the war , who mischievously hid themselves
in my homeland Piesenkam during the war .

<Jodler>

You can dream familiar and lonely,
undisturbed by world events,
under beautiful fragrant trees,
in nature and see the miracles.
And in the ark there is often socializing
when the old tribe meets.
Thu will be Kartn gspuit and gsunga
in my home town of Piesenkam.
Thu will be Kartn gspuit and gsunga
in my home town of Piesenkam.

<Jodler>

And when Peter waves from heaven,
he even says: "The time is up."
Then gschwind nomoi mei zither I take
leave of my father's house.
The last song still on the lips,
pfor God dear ones, hold it tight,
stay true to the old customs and traditions
in my home town of Piesenkam,
remain true to the old customs and traditions
in my home town of Piesenkam!

<Jodler> Yodelers

:
Holaria, holariaho,
holaria, holariaho,
holaria, riariaho,
holaria, riariaho!
