history

In a document from the Weihenstephan Monastery , Simbach was first mentioned as Sinnebach in 1138 . An Erchinprecht de Sinnebach is stated in the certificate.

In 1157 Erchinprecht de Sinnebach was mentioned again in a document from the Burgrave of Nuremberg , in which he handed over goods to the Plankstetten monastery on behalf of Emperor Friedrich Barbarossa . A Hartwich and his brother Marquard de Sinnebach are listed as witnesses.

1259 a Hartwicus de Sinnebach is named as a witness in a document. In 1312 a Hertwich von Sinnebach compares itself with Bishop Philipp von Eichstätt over the fiefdom of the "Ülrich von Eysenbrehtzdorf".

During the Thirty Years' War the place was badly devastated, only two properties were spared.

The Church of St. Maria was built in 1765 by Martin Plänkl according to plans by the Eichstätter court sculptor and plasterer Johann Jakob Berg. A choir facing east is added to the baroque central building. It is a hall building with long sides extending in segmental arches, a drawn-in apse that closes with a stinging arch , a pilaster portal and a flank tower with a bell dome and onion. The interior decoration of the church is made in the Rococo style. The carvings on the communion bench and the cheeks of the church chairs date from 1774. The altar with four columns and six angel figures was created in 1797 by the carpenter and sculptor Andreas Wexler from Berching.

Simbach belonged to the municipality Altmannsberg , this was in 1972 in the course of administrative reform after Holnstein incorporated. In 1976 Holnstein was incorporated into the city of Berching.
