history

Sachsenkam was probably founded as part of Charlemagne's settlement measures in the 8th or 9th century. The name suggests settlers from Saxony or a local founder named Sahso or similar. A document from 1035 shows that it belonged to the Tegernsee monastery early on , and later the place belonged to Count Adalbero von Ebersberg . The coat of arms of those of Ingram , to whom the village fell, has been the municipal coat of arms since 1959. Towards the end of the 15th century, the Tölz nurse Kaspar Winzerer acquired the Hofmark Sachsenkam; thereafter the place changes hands several times. When the Hofmark was abolished in 1848, the village was owned by von Sigriz.

Anna von Pinzenau received the place as a dowry in 1589 and laid the foundation stone for a Loreto chapel in 1606 , which was expanded when it could no longer accommodate the growing flow of pilgrims. In 1735, work on the church and monastery was completed in its current form. The monastery, attached to the Bavarian Franciscan Province since 1651 , has been running a famous pharmacy since 1668 . The brewery, which today continues as a brewery cooperative, dates from the same period. From 1837 to 1958 the monastery ran a girls' school, and to this day it runs a guesthouse. The nuns themselves also do a large part of the work that occurs in the farm belonging to the monastery.

Before the municipal reform , the municipality belonged to the old Bad Tölz district .
