history

The town of Slehingin was mentioned for the first time in deeds of donation from the Baumburg monasteries near Altenmarkt and St. Peter in Salzburg, as well as by the Salzburg cathedral chapter from 1122 to 1147 . As unfree farmers, most of them were fundamental subjects of the Bavarian duke and the Salzburg archbishop with his cathedral chapter until the beginning of the 19th century. The Bavarian duke has always been the sovereign ruler.

In terms of church, Schleching became a curate in 1709 and an independent parish in 1921.

On April 1, 1938, parts of the area were ceded to the new municipality of Marquartstein .

Schleching has been part of the international alpine association initiative Bergsteigerdörfer since 2017 .

politics

mayor

Josef Loferer ( CSU ) has been mayor since May 1, 2008; he was elected on March 15, 2020 with 74.75% of the vote for a further six years.

coat of arms

The coat of arms was awarded on October 21, 1926 by the State Ministry of the Interior.

Blazon : "In gold, the half-length figure of St. Bishop Remigius in a blue cope with the golden pedum in the left and an oil vessel over which a white dove flies to him in the right."

Saint Remigius is the patron saint of the parish church and the village of Schleching. The saint was chosen as a coat of arms to commemorate the old age of the place and the Christianization of the Bavarian region by Frankish missionaries at the turn of the 8th to 9th century. Another aspect was to create a meaningful reference point for local history lessons through the saint figure. In the time of National Socialism , saints were not welcome in local coats of arms. The Schlechinger coat of arms was also objected to in 1938 and should be changed. However, the project was not carried out.

flag

The flag in blue and gold (vertical) with the included coat of arms on a white background in the horizontal upper quarter was approved on August 16, 1954.
