history

Until the 19th century

The first mention of Schonstett can be found in a document from King Henry IV from 1077. In this "Privilegium Henrici IV imperatoris" the place is listed as one of the founding donation by Duke Tassilo III. called to the Frauenchiemsee monastery. The donation had taken place in 780 and was mentioned at the inauguration of the monastery by the Salzburg bishop Vigil in 782. So Schonstett is already over 1200 years old. At that time, the old castle stood on today's Kirchberg, as the massive church tower and the old castle chapel from the 12th century still bear witness to. The place probably got its name from the old castle tower, an exposed viewing tower. Because in dialect the place is called "Schauschded".

The Codex diplomaticus Falkensteinensis mentions Schonstett as Sconsteten , later also as Sconstet , in later documents of the Herrenchiemsee Monastery from the 12th century there is Schônstete . In the high Middle Ages, the Lords of Schonstett were servants of the Hallgraves of Wasserburg am Inn. In the middle of the 15th century the hill fort was abandoned and a moated castle was built in 1480. This was depicted by Michael Wening around 1700 and is largely unchanged to this day. However, the moat was filled in in the 19th century.

The nobles von Schonstett were mentioned until around 1550, then the closed Hofmark came into the hands of those von Leublfing. As a result, the barons changed hands between generations until the barons of Preu von Straßkirchen took over ownership by the end of the 16th century. This was also acquired by the neighboring Hofmark Stephanskirchen (near Evenhausen) and sold at the beginning of the 18th century to the Barons von Schleich, who in turn sat on it for about 100 years. The Barons von Reisenegger and von Ziegler were the last lords of the Hofmark to exercise patrimonial jurisdiction until 1848.

Schonstett became a tax district in 1802 as a closed Hofmark in the course of Montgelas ' administrative reforms in Bavaria and in 1818 an independent political municipality. The same applied to Zillham, which at that time enclosed Schonstett in a horseshoe shape. Until 1845, both communities belonged to the Trostberg district court and then to the Wasserburg district court .
