history

Mallertshofen is first mentioned in a document as Schwaige in 1060 . In the Freising traditions the place is mentioned as property of the Benedictine Abbey Weihenstephan . In the year 1190 there was already an independent parish and for the year 1315 several branch churches such as in Garching , Freimann and Unterschleißheim are attested. From 1628 the place was owned by Elector Maximilian I. Around 1630 the church was redesigned, the walls increased and new vaults built. In the north, the sacristy was added to the choir . After the Thirty Years War , the population emigrated. In the 17th century only two courtyards were left, which were demolished in 1879/80.
