history

By the end of the 18th century

Schweitenkirchen is said to have been founded when the Bavarians were formed , i.e. between 550 and 600. For the year 837 it is recorded in Freising documents that a woman named "Suidmuot" built a church here and furnished it with land. In 972 the place is called "Suidmuotochirihun", the name "Sweitmarschirchen", which was in use from 1315, already resembles the current name. In the 17th century, Schweitenkirchen belonged to the Landshut Rent Office and the Moosburg Regional Court of the Electorate of Bavaria. In 1660 the St. Magdalena chapel was built in the district of Dietersdorf . The Romanesque church in Schweitenkirchen received additions in 1740 (and 1854) that are not considered to be very artistic.

19th to 21st century

In the course of the first Bavarian state survey, the location was selected as the main triangular network point due to its elevated position and measured in 1806. In 1806 a big fire also destroyed the place. The arsonist is said to have been a certain Franz Dobmayr, who was executed with the sword by the Munich executioner on June 27, 1811 at the execution site in Pfaffenhofen as the last delinquent . With the community edict of 1818 , the political community Schweitenkirchen was created. In 1841 it was assigned to the Pfaffenhofen Regional Court . In 1998 Schweitenkirchen was included in Regional Plan 10 as a small center.
