Location of the municipality of Schöngeising in the Fürstenfeldbruck district

Schöngeising from the south

Schöngeising is a municipality in the Upper Bavarian district of Fürstenfeldbruck and a member of the Grafrath administrative community .

geography

location

Schöngeising is about seven kilometers southwest of Fürstenfeldbruck and 30 kilometers west of Munich .

Parish parts

The municipality has three officially named municipal parts (the type of settlement is indicated in brackets ):

• Jexhof ( wasteland )
• Schöngeising ( parish village )
• Zellhof ( hamlet )

Waters

• Amperes

climate

Schöngeising can - like practically all of Bavaria (except high mountain areas) - be assigned to the Central European transitional climate . Extreme weather extremes in the continental climate are rare, but it can be observed that the winters in particular are often more severe than in western Germany. Also, there is usually more snow falling than in many other German areas. One reason for this is the altitude of more than 500 meters above sea level. In summer, on the other hand, it can often be hotter than e.g. B. on the North Sea coast, since the cooling effect of a large body of water is missing. Other essential weather-determining factors are the Alps as a Central European and the Danube as a regional weather divide. Due to this constellation, the weather is relatively changeable. The foehn brings irregularly warm, dry air currents to Schöngeising from the south all year round. The small climate of the village is determined by the Amper.

history

Numerous finds, hill and cremation graves in the immediate vicinity, speak for a use of the area from the oldest Bronze Age to Hallstatt, Viereckschanzen have been preserved from the Laténe period. In Roman times there was a crossing point of Roman roads with a road station and a bridge over the Amper. It was located on a road from the north towards Kempten and Partenkirchen and a west-east connection, the archaeologically developed Via Julia from Augsburg to Salzburg. The identification of Schöngeising with the Ambra station at the junction of the Roman trunk road over the Amper (= Latin Ambra), which can be proven in the area, was described as "unlikely" in a controversial research article. Excavations and finds, however, indicate Roman settlement up to the 4th century. The first documentary mention of Schöngeising was in 763 as Kisingas , which means something like "among the people of Giso". The addition “beautiful” was added later to distinguish the place from the swampy Kottgeisering . The Jexhof was first mentioned in 1433, the Zellhof in 1314. In 1818 the community was formed from the current districts and Grafrath . The latter was added to the Unteralting community in 1849 .

Population development

Between 1988 and 2018, the community grew from 1,540 to 1,880 by 340 inhabitants or 22.1%.

archive

The archive of the community, which is located in the Scherrerhaus, was reorganized in 2014 by the archivist Harry Grünbeck.

coat of arms

Six times framed by blue, silver, green, silver, green and silver, covered with a beam of silver and red in two rows; above a golden bar cross, below a red shamrock cross. The content of the emblem, adopted in 1967, is justified as follows: Schöngeising, whose history was closely related to the Cistercian monastery Fürstenfeld , became famous in the 16th century through the property given to the Bavarian court conductor Orlando di Lasso by Duke Wilhelm V , on which the famous Musician lived until his death in 1594. That is why the coat of arms of Orlando, the so-called stand change (i.e. multiple diagonal division, with the cross in the upper field, was used as the basis of the municipal coat of arms). The Cistercian bar recalls the relationship with the Fürstenfeld monastery. The four-leaf clover in the lower part of the coat of arms establishes the local reference to the church in Schöngeising or its patronage, St. Johannes Baptist.

• The Catholic parish church of St. Johann Baptist , consecrated in 1709, is located on the eastern edge of the village . The baroque hall building with a three-sided choir closure, attached two-storey sacristy and an onion dome on the north tower was rebuilt from 1683 to 1699. Before that, there was a baptistery, also consecrated to Saint John, in the Romanesque , later Gothic style, which was first mentioned in the 10th century. In 1861, the Munich painter G. Lachner designed the ceiling painting of John the Baptist on the Jordan , the Way of the Cross, the depiction of Saint Joseph and the image of the Immaculate Conception . A cemetery surrounds the sacred building. Opposite the church is the rectory built in 1993.

The later baroque building is surrounded by a low cemetery wall. There are numerous, in the meantime abandoned graves with wrought iron grave crosses. The chapel was completely renovated between 1971 and 1975 and finally in 1993.
