history

The place name Schwaige can be traced back to the Middle High German “sweige” for herd of cattle or cattle yard. It can therefore be assumed that in earlier times mainly cattle farming was practiced here.

In 1834, the then Bavarian Minister of the Interior, Ludwig Fürst zu Oettingen-Wallerstein, acquired Leutstetten Castle with 109  hectares of agricultural land belonging to it. Another purchase of the meadows and fields from two Leutstetten farms created the opportunity to increase the agricultural production of the estate belonging to the castle. By building appropriate economic buildings, he made the hitherto insignificant Schwaige, which lay outside the village in the middle of its fields, the focus of his agricultural business. He used the areas in the palace area that were freed up by this early repatriate court for additions and to expand the English garden there . At the Centrallandwirthschaftsfest 1836 he received the first prize and "The great gold medal" for significant improvements in the agricultural as well as in the social area of ​​the community of Leutstetten. Particular attention was paid to the new construction of paths in the area of ​​the "Carolinen-Schwaige", which he now named after his daughter, as well as the expansion of the old road from Leutstetten to Oberdill to the Chaussee between Starnberg and Munich (State Road 2065), which leads through the Schwaige.

In 1875, Prince Ludwig of Bavaria, later King Ludwig III. , the Schlossgut Leutstetten and took up residence there. With the Schwaige belonging to the estate and the Wildmoos corridor , the property now comprised around 460 hectares. The prince's passion has been agriculture since his student days. With the purchased area, he had the opportunity to build a sample property that was equipped with all the technical achievements of his time. In the area of ​​milk production, the new stables in the Schwaige had a role model function with regard to TBC- free cattle breeding. With agricultural land in Rieden , Untermühlthal and Petersbrunn bought later , the property belonging to the castle estate grew to over 900 hectares.

Leutstetten Castle and part of the castle estate are still owned by the Wittelsbach family . Another part of the land of the former model property has meanwhile been sold and converted into a golf course. The corridors belonging to the hamlet of Schwaige remained agricultural land and are cultivated by their current owner, the farm "Gut Schwaige", in the spirit of organic farming .
