Until the church is planted

The Saldenburg was built in 1368 by Heinrich Tuschl von Söldenau on behalf of the Counts von Hals to secure the trade route "Gulden Stras", a route that competes with the Goldener Steig . From 1677 until the 19th century it belonged to the Counts of Preysing . The place was part of the Electorate of Bavaria and formed a closed Hofmark , the seat of which was the Saldenburg. In 1818 a patrimonial congregation was established in Bavaria by the municipal edict . In 1841 today's community was established.
