There is only the district Apfeldorf. Until the regional reform in 1972, Apfeldorf belonged to the district of Schongau . Apfeldorf has been a member of the Reichling administrative association since 1978 .

history

Apfeldorf was first mentioned in a document in 1305. In publications, for example in the Landsberger Kreisheimatbuch, it can be read that the name of the village first appeared in an Augsburg document in 1313. Through research by the local history working group, an earlier document from the Apfeldorf parish archive was discovered. A two-volume manuscript is kept there that was written in the middle of the 18th century by Franz Töpsl, provost of the Augustinian canons in Polling . In it he quotes the first document in its entirety. It dates from 1305 and describes how the Polling monastery came into the possession of the parish of Apfeldorf. A copy of this document is in the Bavarian Main State Archives in Munich .

This purchase and gift letter stating that Hainricus of Ennis and his wife Elisabeth de Wilhain the Polling Abbey have their rights to the parish Apfeldorf partly sold and given away to some extent. Heinrich von Enn and Elisabeth von Weilheim were therefore the lords of the church in Apfeldorf, which also says that the history of Apfeldorf does not begin with the first mention. The legal transaction was sealed on March 12, 1305 in the Wessobrunn monastery . Among the witnesses who have confirmed it is a Dominus Hainricus Rector Ecclesiae in Apheldorf (Mr. Heinrich, head of the church in Apfeldorf). Pastor Heinrich is therefore the first Pollingen monastery pastor in Apfeldorf. The close connection between the Apfeldorfer parish and the Polling monastery lasted until the secularization in 1803.

The old nursing court Rauhenlechsberg is inseparably connected with the history of Apfeldorf , which is said in old writings to be an ancient castle and court. Located on a rough mountain next to the Lech River, it was given this sonorous name. The care court comprised the villages of Apfeldorf, Birkland , Kinsau , Peißenberg , Reichling , Stadl and Mundraching . Rauhenlechsberg is also known because the well-known Jägerwirt von Munich, one of the leaders of the Bavarian people's uprising of 1705, was captured here. With the secularization, the nursing court was incorporated into the Schongau district court .

The rest of the story is like in many villages in Lechrain. Wars, plague and hailstorm repeatedly destroyed the meager livelihood. The commercial structure was determined by the rafting on the Lech and agriculture until 1900 . The Apfeldorfer rafters brought their timber and goods transports to Vienna and Budapest .

The community has retained its rural character. In cooperation with the Directorate for Rural Development, efforts are currently being made to maintain these village structures.

Population development

Between 1988 and 2019 the municipality grew from 862 to 1,144 by 282 inhabitants or 32.7%.

coat of arms

The description of the municipal coat of arms, adopted in 1974, reads: "In gold on a green three-mountain, a red gable tower with battlements, which is underlaid with a blue wavy bar."

Attractions

The parish church Heilig Geist has a late Romanesque west tower with a gable roof, a late Gothic choir (which was stuccoed around 1740) and a baroque nave. The plan for the parsonage, built in 1747 by Polling Abbey, with a pretty interior hall, comes from the Baroque master builder Johann Michael Fischer .

The Haldenkapelle from 1816 takes its name from the location of the previous chapel on the Lechhalde. Here the raftsmen once prayed for God's protection on their dangerous journeys on the Lech; As the rafting became less and less, the more pilgrims came.
