history

Schwendt, the Sankt Agidius Church

The place name is derived from "schwenden" (clearing). A rag ax found in the municipality of Schwendt points to the 8th century; The place was first mentioned in a document around 1180 in the tradition book of the Raitenhaslach monastery as "Swentǒwe" and "Swentǒe" , while the district Kohlental already appears in 1151 as "Cholental" in a certificate of ownership for the Rott am Inn monastery . At that time the important pass route down to Kössen was already here , over the pass Klobenstein, towards Aschau in Bavaria , and Schwendt functioned as a small trading place.

In the Middle Ages , mining was also carried out in Schwendt . Lead and iron were found in the surrounding areas . The mining was stopped towards the end of the 19th century.

Today Schwendt is a small rural tourist town . The proximity to Kössen has strongly influenced the place.
