history

Steppach was probably founded around the year 1000.

A peculiarity of the population development of Steppach was the blossoming of a Jewish community . After 1438 the Jews were no longer tolerated in the imperial city of Augsburg and found an opportunity to exist in the surrounding area. They were mainly active in trade, as they were not permitted to trade or trade. From 1584 to the end of the 19th century, a quarter to a third of Steppach's inhabitants were Jewish. In the “Alte Reichsstraße” there were not only several “ communal houses ” (corresponding to today's condominiums), but also a synagogue and a ritual immersion bath ( mikveh ). From the middle of the 19th century, the Jewish population began to emigrate, and in 1910 there were no longer any Jews living there.

In the course of time, the center of the town shifted from the old village center on the Alte Reichsstraße to the new Ulmer Straße. Due to a renovation measure, the street was rebuilt and given a small square, the so-called Steppacher triangle , to which a few shops and high-rise buildings are lined up.

Former parish

Until about 1960 the place and community name was "Steppach", without the addition "b.Augsburg".

The area of ​​the former municipality was about 247 hectares . The part of the municipality Vogelsang appears for the first time in the results of the 1950 census, when the part name was not yet officially assigned. On May 1, 1978, the municipality lost its independence in the course of the regional reform in Bavaria and was incorporated into Neusäß.

religion

In 1150 there is the oldest documented mention of a church in Steppach, which came to the St. Moritz Collegiate Church in Augsburg at around the same time . The church was incorporated there in 1431 . The Church of St. Gallus was rebuilt and consecrated in 1626 after it collapsed in 1623. An independent Catholic parish in Steppach was established in 1753. In 1866, the parish church of St. Gallus was expanded to include a window axis to make room for the growing community.

The synagogue in Steppach was built around 1700 and expanded in 1753. When Steppach's Jewish community was incorporated into the Augsburg religious community in 1873, this church was no longer in use. It was sold and probably demolished at the end of the 19th century.

The Catholic parish church of Saint Raphael was built in 1981 and consecrated in 1983. The parish Sankt Raphael in Steppach belongs to the deanery Augsburg-Land in the diocese of Augsburg .
