history

Gutskapelle St. Maria, built in 1759

The hamlet of Schorn was first mentioned in writing in the traditions of Schäftlarn Abbey in 1140 under the name "Scorren" - which is derived from the Middle High German name for plaice . The reason for the naming was the donation from the property of the noble Mrs. Hemma to the monastery. Further mentions of this area can only be found in the monastery documents from the 16th century under the house name "Schormayr". According to this, a family of this name had already leased the property before 1579, passed it on to the next generation and was still managing it when the old monastery property passed into the possession of the Electorate of Bavaria in the course of secularization in 1803 . With an area of ​​129  hectares , Schorn belonged to Buchhof , Selcha and Heimathshausen as one of the four large estates of the monastery east of Starnberg.

A progressive development began in 1824 with the purchase of the estate by the Munich Higher Appeal Court Councilor Johann Baptist von Welsch. Just three years later, the new owner received the first prize with a Brabant plow in the category "Farmers who did the best in agriculture in 1826" at the Central Agriculture Festival in 1827 . The new weekly newspaper of the agricultural association in Bavaria reports of a high production of arable crops through appropriate fertilization, of newly laid paths lined with walnut and mulberry trees, of new large orchards and vegetable gardens that also contained asparagus beds, of the expansion of the stables for 700 merino sheep and, among many other improvements, the construction of a wine vinegar factory that processed pomace delivered from Lake Constance . In 1836, von Welsch received "The great gold medal" in the same category for further outstanding achievements on the estate, which in the meantime had grown to include a well, a brandy distillery, a grinding mill and an oil mill . The agricultural scientist Hermann von Liebig , who owned the estate between 1858 and 1875 , also achieved the best quality in his agricultural products . His sale of building land to competent employees with families who did not want to live in the servants' house caused the slow change from an estate to a hamlet.

The transformation of this agricultural production facility into an industrial area began in 1967. The owners at that time no longer sold the estate as a unit, but instead sold the parcels and buildings separately. The Milchverwertungsgesellschaft Bayerischer Landwirte acquired 45,000 square meters of the area and built a dairy factory with a cheese dairy in the early 1970s that employed 300 people. Due to sales difficulties, the company had to close 20 years later. Smaller commercial and handicraft businesses have now settled on this site, and Deutsche Post AG operates a letter sorting center on a neighboring property . The southern area of ​​the hamlet with former manor buildings and stables belongs to a riding stables.

In 2010, the Starnberg City Council decided to expand the commercial area as an urban development measure. The 43 hectare site between the Oberdill motorway maintenance facility in the north and the existing industrial park is intended to be an attractive location for high-tech companies. A commissioned investor group has acquired the necessary land and will take care of the implementation of the project in the coming years.
