history

A farm in the Tödtenried district with finds typical of brick kilns is dated to Roman times.

In the 12th century still referred to as Sielepach, Suolempach and Syelenpach, the place name Sielenbach can be found as early as 1241. The forms Sylenpach and Siellepach appear later. In the 11th and 12th centuries, the Altomünster monastery owned several farms in Sielenbach, and the von Weichs owned property in Sielenbach from 1518. In 1611 the Commander of the Teutonic Order House in Blumenthal acquired the property of the Vistas. The old Stunzberg Castle was destroyed by Swedish troops in the Thirty Years' War in 1632 . In the course of secularization , the German House of Blumenthal was dissolved in 1803. The right to present the parish came to Bavaria and Sielenbach became an independent parish. From the legend about a miraculous image in a hollow pear tree, the pilgrimage church Maria Birnbaum was built from 1661 to 1668 , whose pastoral care was initially cared for by the Teutonic Order and then by Capuchins in the 19th and 20th centuries . The Teutonic Order has been active in Maria Birnbaum again since 1998 , renovating the monastery building and revitalizing the pilgrimage. The community of Sielenbach is now the longest street village in the Aichach-Friedberg district. The districts of Schafhausen, Raderstetten and the desert areas of Gollenhof and Schönberg have always belonged to the community of Sielenbach.
