history

The earliest excavations in the area indicate settlement as early as the Neolithic Age .

The establishment of Gempfing as a real -ing- place is presumed in the 1st half of the 6th century by the Bavarians .

Gempfing was part of the founding equipment of the St. Walburg Benedictine Monastery in Eichstätt , which was donated by the noble free Leodegar (also Luitger) from the Counts of Lechsgmünd and Graisbach with a document dated June 24, 1035. Leodegar died on February 21, 1074 on the way to St. Mang in Füssen in Gempfing. In the 13./14. In the 18th century, the Eichstätter monastery continuously expanded its lordly position in Gempfing to a court mark , to which the monastery property was raised in 1310. In 1306, for example, St. Walburg replaced the property right in the village of Gempfing from Count Berthold von Graisbach with 200 pounds of Heller , as did the rights of Maier von Gempfing four years later . In 1389, however, the keeper of Rain took Gempfing under his protection against rye and Haber taxes. In 1435, the abbess expressly commissioned the keeper of Rain to protect the Gempfing monastery property. In the Thirty Years' War Gempfing was burned down twice and - just rebuilt - in the War of Spanish Succession in 1704 again completely destroyed.

The St. Walburg monastery remained the landlord and patron saint in Gempfing until the secularization of 1805/06 (around 1800: 44 house and farm positions in the Hofmark; in 1728 54 Jauchert farmland belonged to the Maierhof ). The Gempfing parish of St. Vitus had been incorporated into the St. Walburg monastery since 1324 at the latest, and it remained so until 1806. In Bayerdilling , the St. Peters chapel had been incorporated into the parish of Gempfing since 1313, and the abbey was the patronage of the Wengen branch Early measurement level from 1464 to 1806. In the 17th century, the Zehntmeier, the owner of the monastery-owned Gempfinger Zehnthof, acted as the abbey judge. From 1700 there was a monastic court judge. The abbess herself also appeared repeatedly in Gempfing, for example until 1624 for the so-called Bauding , which took place once a year , when the abbess could reassign the fiefs up to the 15th century and from the 16th century the owners of an estate with inheritance rights also appeared had. The former judge's house, called "Castle" by the abbess in the 18th century and now called Zum Bräu , has been preserved. In 1752 Gempfing consisted of 34 properties belonging to the abbey. For 1754 it is recorded that the abbess Adelgundis I. Pettenkoferin († 1756), who had good contacts with the Bavarian aristocracy, stayed with seven nuns for 26 days to relax in Gempfing. An oil painting by Gempfing was created under her, which is kept in the St. Walburg monastery. Gempfing was an important source of income for the Eichstätter monastery and, for example, provided 18 percent of the total (grain) gilt income towards the end of the Old Kingdom . The farmers had to hand a “valid pig” annually under several realms such as valid geese, Gülthennes, Gilteier, decent geese, toe hens and “cheese money”, either in kind or in money. In 1724, after years of legal dispute, the Hofmark farmers compared themselves with the monastery in matters of crowd service . In the 18th century, the dispute over the Präbendhaus (= beneficiary's house) in Gempfing, which had lasted over 100 years, was settled through negotiations with the Eichstätter Auxiliary Bishop Johann Adam Nieberlein, and the Präbendhaus with barn was rebuilt. The entire monastery property in Gempfing was publicly auctioned on October 11, 1806 in favor of the Electorate of Bavaria; Forest, fields, meadows and all buildings except for the Zehentstadel, which the state retained for its own use, was auctioned by the Gempfing community for 20,810 guilders. In the Eichstätter Abbey, Gempfing archives have been preserved through secularization.

In 1808 Gempfing and Kunding became a tax district in the Rain District Court . In 1818 it became the community of Gempfing, whereby Staudheim was incorporated, but not the nearby village of Überacker, which is also part of the parish and school district.

On July 1, 1972, the previously independent community was incorporated into the city of Rain.

In Gempfing from May 13th to June 4th, 2000, the art and work exhibition Artificial Village Gempfing - Signs in the Province took place as part of the Swabian Culture Days in northern Lechrain .

With the event series Culture in the Gempfing parish yard , the Gempfinger Pfarrhof Friends Association has been contributing to the revitalization of this listed building, which is no longer needed for its original purpose, since 2006. The association also has drawings by Josef Oberberger .
