While numerous church villages in Chiemgau have been documented since 788 - including the hamlet of Roßholzen belonging to Samerberg - little is known about Törwang's early history. The origin of the village name is unclear. In 1824 the village had eleven residential buildings and 60 residents. It had been cared for by the parish of Rohrdorf until a separate pastor was appointed as vicar around the middle of the 17th century. From 1820 the foundation of an old landlady took care of the maintenance of the assistant pastor.

In contrast, the hamlet of Weickersing , which formerly belonged to the municipality of Törwang and was the residence of a ministerial family in the 12th century , has been mentioned frequently in documents since 1120 under names such as Wihecozzingen, Wihegozzingen, Wicozzingen and Wiegozingen . Weickersing is called Wihcozinge in a Latin deed of donation from the provost of Berchtesgaden from the 12th century .

In 1969, a referendum was carried out in Grainbach , Roßholzen , Steinkirchen and Törwang to decide whether the four previously independent communities should be merged into a single community with an administrative seat in Törwang. 88% of the voters decided in favor of this project, and on January 1, 1970, the new municipality of Samerberg was formed by amalgamating Grainbach, Roßholzen, Steinkirchen and Törwang. Since then, Törwang has been part of the municipality and the administrative seat of Samerberg.

Before the merger, Törwang had the following residential spaces:

Törwang
Au
Eiding
Eßbaum
