history

The place Streitheim emerged from the forest and clearing yard "Lüftenberg" of the Augsburg bishops first mentioned in a document in 1316. This name "Lüftenberg" was later also transferred to the higher part of the village.

The place Streitheim itself was owned by the Augsburg bishops from the very beginning. From 1367 to 1466, Streitheim and the Lüftenberg Forestry Farm were given to the noble lords of Waldkirch as an episcopal fief. In 1466 the fiefdom fell back to the bishopric of Augsburg . At the time of the Waldkirch feudal bearers, there seems to have been a stables below the Lüftenberg in the form of a small moated castle as the residence of the Waldkirch lords. It is not known who built this moated castle and when it was removed. From 1505 until the secularization in 1802 the place was under the episcopal nursing office of the Hochstift Augsburg in Zusmarshausen.

19 residents from Streitheim also took part in the great peasant uprisings in 1525. They joined the 4075 rebellious farmers of the "Leipheimer Haufen". On April 4, 1525 there was the great battle at Leipheim, in which the peasants were defeated by the army of the "Swabian League" under the leadership of the noble "Truchsess Georg III von Waldburg-Zeil" (known as the "Bauernjörg").

Streitheim was hit really hard at the end of the Thirty Years War, during the Battle of Zusmarshausen on May 17, 1648. The place was completely destroyed and devastated. It was not until 13 years after the end of the war that there were 18 houses again in Streitheim. Before the war there were 32.

During the secularization of 1802, the place passed to the dual electorate and later Kingdom of Bavaria. In 1818 44 independent communities were formed in the "Königl. Baier. Regional Court of Zusmarshausen". Among them was Streitheim with the district "Lüftenberg", the wasteland "Weilerhof" and the hamlet "Ehgatten".

From 1862 to 1929 the now independent community of Streitheim and its districts belonged to the district office of Zusmarshausen and from 1929 to the district office of Augsburg , which from 1939 was called the district of Augsburg .

In the course of the regional reform in Bavaria on May 1, 1978, the community of Streitheim was incorporated into the Zusmarshausen market. The former district of Ehgatten came to Welden .

The Catholic Curate of St. Vitus in Streitheim belongs to the parish of St. Martin in Horgau . The curate also includes Lüftenberg and Weilerhof.

Streitheim used to be with a request stop ("Bahnhof Streitheim") on the Augsburg – Welden railway line , called Weldenbahn, which was closed in 1989 .

Personalities

On May 20, 1864, Willibald Siemann, one of the most important master organ builders in southern Germany, was born in Streitheim . He came from the former mercenary estate house no. 10 and was the son of the smallholder and day laborer Willibald Siemann and his wife Josefa (née Dormair). Siemann learned organ building from his uncle Martin Binder , who owned an organ building workshop in Pfaffenhofen. At the age of 22 (1886) he became a partner in his uncle's company, moved with him to Regensburg in 1890 (Binder & Siemann), but at the same time opened his own company in Munich (W. Siemann & Co). In 1904 he combined both workshops into one large company (Willibald Siemann & Co., Munich), which developed into a leading company in Bavaria. Willibald Siemann died on February 28, 1932 in Munich. Siemann built over 500 organs in Bavaria and Upper Silesia. Some of his organs are still used today.
