Location of Schmatzhausen in Bavaria |
||
Schmatzhausen is a district of the municipality of Hohenthann , Landshut district in Bavaria .
geography
Schmatzhausen is located in the source area of the Kleine Laaber ( 476 m above sea level ), which rises a few kilometers from the village near Egg .
history
Settlement of the area in the early days
In the beginning there were probably only a few settlements in this area, but barrow finds indicate that the Celts (until 15 BC) probably already settled here. In the 3rd and 4th centuries the Bavarians took over the country.
From these early times, ceramic fragments and flint stones can still be found in some fields near Schmatzhausen, which have come to light through tillage.
In 80 AD, the Romans settled in Regensburg, which required a road network that connected the settlements in the Roman Empire. One of these " Roman roads " that connected Moosburg with Regensburg can still be seen in the Müllerholz near Osterwind. Coming from Altdorf, the connecting road runs along the loess slope via Pfettrach to Weihmichl. There it led over the ridge of Stollnried / Egg via Osterwind, Steig and Eschenloh to the castle hill of Rottenburg an der Laaber , where the course is considered safe, not least because of sigillata , ceramics and buildings and settlements. Furthermore, this could be determined at Münster. The stretch of road that can still be seen is about 80 meters long, the side ditches are still clearly visible.
Schmatzhausen was then probably founded by the Bavarians, just like Haimhausen or Sachsenhausen, at the beginning or middle of the 7th century (620 - 650). Row grave finds of the Merovingians , which were made at the Goldbrunn house in 1850, indicate this. Unfortunately, the finds (around 60 skeletons and an iron sword) have been lost. The name of the place also suggests that it was founded around this time. Only a few places that end in -ing were supposedly founded a little earlier (Roning, Mießling).
In the archaeological monument book of the former district of Rottenburg an der Laaber , a rampart near Grünberg is listed under No. 33, a wasteland east of Schmatzhausen. This early medieval defense system is described in the booklet "Wanderwege im Landshut - Wandergebiet Landshut West" as follows: "A ditch with a defensive wall extends around an almost round, slightly vaulted hilltop. The level access to the neighboring hill is about 50 m [eter] wide."
In the same directory, under no. 10 in the former municipality of Egg, there is a tower hill near the wasteland of Sachsenhausen, which is located southeast of Schmatzhausen. The hill is on the edge of a small forest, crowned by a sturdy tree. Today we know that the tower mounds supported early medieval fortification towers, which were mostly made of wood. The mound was accidentally excavated and traces of fire became visible.
From the Middle Ages

In the Middle Ages Schmatzhausen belonged to various counties, including Roning-Rottenburg, Ebersberg-Sempt and Moosburg an der Isar . It was in the area of the "original parish" St. Peter in Münster . It was first mentioned in a document in 1133 : the wife of Udalrich von Wolfstein transferred the Smuteshusa estate to the St. Kastulus monastery in Moosburg . Since the 12th century, aristocratic families have appeared in the documents who named themselves after the place: the Schmatzhauser and the Ziegelhauser.
Schmatzhausen changed hands several times between the noble families and various monasteries . Around 1350 Greimwold Ziegelhauser, a nobleman from Schmatzhausen and canon in Regensburg , came into the possession of the still young parish and the parish church built in the 13th century. The church is consecrated to St. Catherine , whose attribute, a broken wheel, can be found in the local coat of arms. There is also a bas-relief, the coat of arms of the noble family of the Ziegelhauser, and a square measure as a symbol of the second important noble family, the Schmatzhauser. The first coat of arms can still be found today on Ulrich Zieglhauser's grave slab , which was probably brought from Egg to Schmatzhausen, at the parish church. The noble founders owned the patronage right for the church. When their line died out with Ulrich Zieglhauser in 1415, this right passed to the provincial dukes of Lower Bavaria and Bavaria . The government of Lower Bavaria still has a (purely formal) say in filling the pastoral position.
The parish church was burned down by the Swedes during the Thirty Years' War and rebuilt a few years later. In 1720 it got its present-day interior in Baroque and Rococo styles. The church was later expanded. When the wooden floor of the church was replaced in 1965 and the pews were renewed, skeletal remains came to light.
In 1818 the community Schmatzhausen was founded, which belonged to the Rottenburg an der Laaber court . The first mayor was Simon Bökh from Mießling. In 1872 the schoolhouse was built on the Kirchberg, which is used by the clubs today. In 1929 the old, wooden rectory was replaced by a new building.
The community was dissolved on May 1, 1978 in the course of the regional reform and came to the community of Hohenthann.
Attractions
- The parish church of St. Katharina was rebuilt in the Baroque style after being destroyed in the Thirty Years War, i.e. around 1650, incorporating older components. The interior from around 1720 to 1775 is in the Baroque and Rococo styles.

Mardi Gras wedding
In the past, the place Schmatzhausen particularly stood out for its well-known carnival wedding. This carnival spectacle , which was organized by the local boys' association in 1939, 1957, 1962, 1987 and 2012 , attracted numerous guests from the near and far. The humorous peasant wedding, which extends over several days, is described as follows in a commemorative publication by the boys' association:
“Weeks before the actual appointment, a wedding loader with a pony cart or a stately carriage was on the way to mobilize the entire village population and to draw attention to the upcoming event. Two young men of marriageable age from the ranks of the boys' association appear as the bride and groom in proper style, always accompanied by the two bride fathers and the wreath maiden. You experience the wedding in fast forward, including the pub (bridal vows), marriage ceremony and heated divorce, where the bride's fathers blame each other for the failure of the marriage. The dignified ceremony has always been given by the citizens of Schmatzhausen, who are dressed in historical costumes and robes and take part alongside the main actors. The real highlight of every carnival wedding has always been the traditional parade through the village, where, for example, in 1987, despite the pouring rain, thousands of visitors lined the streets and alleys of Schmatzhausen to attend this unique carnival fun. At that time, a large number of carts and carts of oxen and horses, along with many foot groups, were involved in this very media-effective event. There was a chamber wagon with Noderin [seamstress who traditionally made the trousseau for the bride], gypsy wagons from the rifle club , wagons from the wedding loader, from the " Breit 4-er " [bridal guide] and many more for those who came from near and far see."
