history

The place name probably dates to the 6th – 9th centuries. Century and is typical for the originally Baiuwar settlement , Point from Old High German  biunta 'Gut, Garten' with -ing 'Ort'. The documentary mention of the place from 1778 refers to Pointing as a demarcated residential area: zu den Stügl an den Pointingerzaun . To this day, Pointing is essentially a small homestead.

The decisive event in local history is the battle of the Walserfeld 12-14th centuries . December 1800 in the First Napoleonic War against the advancing French, when the main battle line ran right here. Pointing burned down then.

The Remise is originally a zoo (wildlife park) at Kleßheim Castle . In the early 19th century it was still evident in its baroque layout, L-shaped in a rectangular grid with a semicircular west-side closure. Cut through by the western motorway , the remains of the facility can be seen in the barracks area (from the main portal on the right to the ammunition depot, where the streets and buildings in the tree population do not follow the barracks grid, but that of the remise almost east-west).
