history

Until the churches are founded

The term Samerberg goes to an important historical source of income in this region back: About the Samerberg led since the Middle Ages a mule track , over the mule trains (the Austrian: Samer ) on Saumrossen ( pack horses ) salt from Berchtesgaden , Traunstein and Reichenhall , cereals, wine and other Transported goods. In a Latin deed of donation from the provost of Berchtesgaden from the 12th century, the Samerberg is called Rossoltesperge (roughly 'Rösselsberg').

The collective term Samerberger for the inhabitants of this foothill region was already in use before 1800. In 1997 the so-called Samerbrunnen was set up in the center of Grainbach to commemorate the historical trade of the hauler ; the monument has the shape of a horseshoe-shaped horse trough, which is carved from limestone and decorated with a bronze statuette of a mule-trader with samross on a column.

As can be seen from the Indiculus Arnonis , the Roßholzen part of the community, known at the time as Hrossulza , had its own church before 798.

The Samerberg area belonged to the Munich Rent Office and the Rosenheim Regional Court of the Electorate of Bavaria and was divided into the main teams of Grainbach, Törwang, Steinkirchen and Roßholzen. In 1818 the former main teams became municipalities in the current sense.

19th and 20th centuries

Before the revolution in 1848, some tax districts of the district court district of Rosenheim, including the entire Samerberg, were subordinate to the patrimonial court of the Hohenaschau rule with its seat in Prien .

In 1969, 88% of the electorate voted in a referendum for a municipality of Samerberg with its seat in Törwang. On January 1, 1970, the new community was formed through the merger of the previously independent communities of Grainbach, Roßholzen, Steinkirchen and Törwang. The four silver diamonds in the municipal coat of arms, which have been used since 1978, stand for these former municipalities and not primarily for Bavaria.

The Samerberg attracted artists in the past. Since Karl Hermann Müller-Samerberg settled in Törwang in 1909 , over 40 other painters have painted this Bavarian landscape.

Parish

The Catholic population of the entire Samerberg received pastoral care from the Rohrdorf parish during the first half of the 17th century , until a parish vicar was sent to Törwang. In 1820 an older Törwang innkeeper made a foundation for the maintenance of an additional assistant priest. Törwang remained a branch of Rohrdorf. Around the middle of the 19th century, the Törwang parish with its four branches Törwang, Grainbach, Roßholzen (formerly Schilding) and Steinkirchen was responsible for a total of 81 suburbs on the Samerberg. The Törwang parish today belongs to the Rohrdorf parish association .

nature

The Samerberg has significant litter meadows and spring moors . Both provide habitat for animal and plant species that are highly endangered throughout Bavaria, for example various types of orchids and gentians, the alpine butterwort, the flour primate and cotton grass. The spring moors and litter meadows are part of the Samerberg tourism concept, such as the “Samerberger Filze” nature trail and the apiary.

Fire brigades

The community of Samerberg operates a total of three volunteer fire departments. These are located in Grainbach, Törwang and Roßholzen.

Grainbach fire department

The Grainbach volunteer fire brigade has an LF8 / 6 fire fighting vehicle and a team transport vehicle (MTF).

A trailer for external helicopter load containers is also stationed there, which is operated by the flight assistant group of the Rosenheim district . This consists of specially trained flight assistants and is used, for example, in forest and wild fires, where it is necessary to take over the coordination and flight operations of the fire-fighting helicopters in order to ensure safe and effective operations. When deployed, the MTF is the transport vehicle for the flight assistant staff.

Törwang fire department

In 2018, the Törwang volunteer fire brigade added a new MLF medium fire engine to its fleet. An LF8 fire fighting group vehicle is also available. The fire brigade is also involved with several members in the flight assistant group.

Roßholzen fire department

The Roßholzen volunteer fire brigade complements the vehicle concept with a TLF 16/25 tank tender with hydraulic rescue equipment. The vehicle can therefore be used universally. In 2019, a team transport vehicle (MTF) was also put into service. The third vehicle is a logistics device trolley GW-L2, which can be loaded depending on the requirements. For this reason, it is also the official towing vehicle for the district's flight assistant group.

Correspondence between Ernst Forsthoff and Carl Schmitt

On April 26, 1955, Ernst Forsthoff wrote to Carl Schmitt :

“The Samerberg is one of the most beautiful points of Upper Bavaria, still relatively least touched by civilization, and you will certainly like the landscape; especially at this time of year with the incomparable splendor of the meadows and alpine pastures. "

Heinrich Mann in Roßholzen

Heinrich Mann began his novel Between the Races in Roßholzen in 1905 .

Lake on the Samerberg (old legend)

According to an old legend, there was once a lake in the lowland west of Grainbach, through which the Achenbach flows, and which stretched to the districts of Dorfen in the west and Schöffau in the south. Due to undercutting, the lake suddenly ran out over the Steinbach in the direction of Nussdorf am Inn , where the falling water is said to have caused considerable damage.
