Until the church is planted

In the area of today's municipality there were noble estates in Sur (r) berg and Hallabruck. Until the administrative reforms in Bavaria around 1800, Surberg belonged to the Burghausen Rent Office and the Traunstein District Court . In 1818 the current political municipality was founded.

20th century

The official spelling "Surberg" was established on July 6, 1937.

On May 3, 1945, shortly before the end of the war - the Americans were just marching into Traunstein - 61 concentration camp prisoners from a death march from the Flossenbürg concentration camp were shot by their SS guards at the edge of the forest near Surberg (Wüstenreit) . A concentration camp cemetery, where the prisoners are buried, and a Jewish memorial ( Hanukkah chandelier ) near Surtal commemorate the massacre.
