history

Until the church is planted

For the first time there is a reference to the name Steinkirchen in a document for the year 1133. In a Moosburg St. Kastulus deed, a Rüdiger de Steininen Kirchen is mentioned as a witness. From this time on there are other mentions, B. 1159/61, when the Ministeriale Juditta von Steinkirchen donated an estate to Grasbrunn to the Hochstift Freising and Isengrim de Steinenkirchen acted as a witness. In the 13th century Eberhard and his sons Heinrich, Albert, Ulrich, Konrad and Friedrich de Stainkirchen and Vilbirgis de Steinchirc appeared in Freising manuscripts.

Steinkirchen had been a parish since 1315 with an unusually large number of branches; On April 6, 1374, the Freising Cathedral Provost Johannes von Kammerberg was granted the benefice of the Steinkirchen parish and at the same time the parish was united with the Freising Cathedral Provost. In modern times, Steinkirchen was Lower Bavarian for a long time: It belonged to the Landshut Rent Office and the Erding Regional Court of the Electorate of Bavaria . In the course of the administrative reforms initiated by Montgelas in Bavaria , today's municipality was created with the municipal edict of 1818 .

Culture and sights

• Catholic parish church St. Johannes Baptist and Johannes Evangelist in Steinkirchen, built in the second half of the 15th century, modified in baroque style in the 18th century
• Catholic branch church St. Laurentius in Hofstarring, built in 1767 by Johann Baptist Lethner
• Catholic branch church St. Martin in Niederstraubing

The Bründl Chapel in the forest north of Hofstarring is worth mentioning. It was built in 1707 by the Hofstarring innkeeper, Markmair, as a thank you for being rescued from a serious illness over a well-visited spring. In 1768 the pastor Deutinger bought a small altar for 2 guilders, in which the Wartenberg painter Josef Zach added a copy of the Passau Maria-Hilf picture. The pilgrimage has been intensified since the Second World War because it serves as a memorial for the local veterans' associations for peace.

A few kilometers northwest of Steinkirchen is Pirka Castle on a small hill. Only the manor house has been preserved, even if it has been changed from the view of Michael Wening around 1718.

In the Heimatmuseum in Thal (near Schröding), a historical courtyard has been on display since 2008.
