history

"Sweickersdorff" (= clan settlement of the Swiker, Switger or Swidiger) is mentioned for the first time in 1129 in connection with the foundation of the Plankstetten Benedictine monastery ; the donors gave, among other things, a farm and a fief in Schweigersdorf for the initial equipment of the monastery. In 1298 the monastery received goods from the Hirschberger Vogt in Schweigersdorf. In the course of the Hirschberg inheritance after the extinction of the Counts of Hirschberg with Gebhard VII. († March 4, 1305; buried in Rebdorf Monastery ), the place was awarded the sovereignty of the Eichstatt bishop in the Gaimersheimer Spruch in 1305 . For centuries, the landlords in the village remained essentially both the bishop and the monastery. At an unknown time, the Dominican convent Heiligkreuz in Regensburg came into the possession of three Schweigersdorfer Höfe; around 1560 she bought Rudolf von Hirnheim zu Jettenhofen from the monastery. In 1585 these farms were transferred to the bishopric , but remained with Jettenhofen as caste officials. The Plankstetten Monastery was also able to increase its property in the village through foundations. In 1644 there is talk of the fact that in the Schweigersdorfer Flur the lordship Holnstein owned some plots of land that were leased to local farmers. The “Reiche Almosen” charity in Beilngries also owned fields in the village corridor at that time. After 1644 the city of Berching acquired two farms for its charitable foundation of the rich alms. At the end of the 18th century, six farms paid interest to the episcopal caste office Beilngries (until 1740 Hirschberg ) of the Oberamt Hirschberg, four to the monastery office in Plankstetten and two to Berching. While the two Berching properties were under the Berching Bailiwick , all the others belonged to the Hirschberg Bailiwick. With regard to marital imprisonment , the village belonged to Kevenhüll . In 1830 there were 70 villagers in 14 houses, and in 1950 there were 132 in 19 houses.

During the secularization , the lower bishopric, to which the Oberamt Beilngries-Hirschberg and thus also Schweigersdorf belonged, came to Grand Duke Archduke Ferdinand III in 1802 . from Tuscany and 1806 to the Kingdom of Bavaria and there to the regional court of Beilngries . Until then, Schweigersdorf was a separate municipality. In 1809, Schweigersdorf and Wallnsdorf formed the Wallnsdorf tax district , which in 1811 became a rural community . It stayed that way until the Bavarian territorial reform , when the municipality of Wallnsdorf joined the town of Berching in the Neumarkt district in Upper Palatinate on January 1, 1972.

Today's church was consecrated on November 25, 1956 by Abbot Jakobus Pfättisch from Plankstetter . The architect was Josef Elfinger , Ingolstadt . On the side of the altar there is a nine-part modern glass window. - In 1878 Katharina Schippl from Schweigersdorf increased the capital of the 2nd Plankstetten cooperative through a foundation .
