Until the church is planted

The place name comes from a beech clearing , as the beginnings of the place and the monastery go back to a clearing . The first documentary mention was in 1073, when Welf IV donated large estates on both sides of the Ammer to the existing Rottenbuch monastery . The place was part of the Electorate of Bavaria and formed a closed Hofmark together with Böbing , Wildsteig and Schönberg . By the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss 1803 the court mark of the monastery was abolished .

In the course of the administrative reforms in the Kingdom of Bavaria with the municipal edict of 1818, the former Hofmark Rottenbuch became the political communities of Rottenbuch, Böbing, Wildsteig and Schönberg, all of which belonged to the Schongau district court .
