history
Schwendau was first around the year 1200 as Swentowe (clearing in a Au) in a land register of the Archbishopric Salzburg mentioned. A castle allegedly sat enthroned on the Burgstallschrofen hill until the 14th century (not yet confirmed after archaeological excavations in 2015). Schwendau has been a political municipality since 1817.
In a referendum in 2003, the population spoke out against the merger with Hippach.
