geography

location

Hohenpeißenberg is located in the Bavarian Oberland , in the foothills of the Alps . There is only the Hohenpeißenberg district .

The highest point of the place is the summit of the 988 meter high Hohen Peißenberg . Because of its overwhelming panoramic view, it is also called the “Bavarian Rigi ” or, much less often, “mons parnanssus ”. It is considered to be the most beautiful panoramic mountain in Bavaria and is a popular destination. The mountain's early nicknames were "mons doctus" because of its scholarship and meteorological research. Most of the inhabitants live on the south side of the mountain, another smaller part is on the west side (districts: Hetten and Buchschorn), a small proportion of the inhabitants is on the north and east sides.

The place is on the left bank of the Ammer River. The Ammer flows below the south side of the village, in a depression called "Schnalz".

climate

history

In 1514, residents built a chapel on the Hohe Peißenberg . A ducal nurse had a carved figure of Our Lady brought there from the Schongau castle chapel . This figure quickly gained the reputation of a miraculous image and a pilgrimage developed. At the beginning of the 17th century , a second church (the pilgrimage church) was therefore added, creating the current double church . The chapel is to the west of the church tower, the pilgrimage church itself to the east. The ensemble gives the summit of the mountain its typical silhouette.

Time of the Augustinian Canons

Augustinian canons of the Rottenbuch monastery supervised the pilgrimage up the mountain from 1604 until the secularization (expropriation of the monasteries) in 1803. The large ceiling fresco by Matthäus Günther in the chapel of grace on the mountain shows the handover of the pilgrimage site to the Rottenbuch monastery. The Augustinians also led the first meteorological observations. Practically uninterrupted meteorological observation series have existed since 1781, making it the oldest mountain weather station in the world. After the secularization, the pastor and the school teacher continued the measurements and records, and after the Second World War the German Weather Service took over the weather observation. The monks also ran a school on the mountain, the elementary school was founded by the Augustinian canon Primus Koch (1752-1812). Classes began in April 1802.

In the course of the administrative reforms in Bavaria , today's municipality was created with the municipal edict of 1818 . Before that, the area belonged to Peiting . Hohenpeißenberg belonged to the Munich Rent Office and to the Schongau Regional Court of the Electorate of Bavaria .

The first construction phase of the old, former school building on the mountain was built after the time of the monks from 1882 to 1883.

Mining

After residents discovered the local pitch coal deposits as early as the 16th century , there were initially isolated mining activities to a lesser extent. On May 8, 1837, state mining began with the attack on the main tunnel in the Brandach district. There are or were some old tunnels in the local area, and there are now guided tours in the main tunnel several times a year. From July 1, 1889, the substructure shafts were sunk. In order to be able to transport coal from the substructure shaft to the deep tunnel in Peißenberg, there was a 3.6 km long cable car from 1898 to 1928. The weather shaft at the train station in Hohenpeißenberg was sunk from 1937 to 1939, and from mid-October 1960 it was the deepest shaft in Bavaria at a depth of 1,150 meters. There was also a weather shaft in Klausen. The BHS stopped mining in the Peißenberger Mulde in 1968, first in Peiting and then in 1971 in Peißenberg. The closure of the Peißenberg mine meant the end of coal mining on the Hohen Peißenberg.

Until 1972, the district boundary of the former districts of Schongau and Weilheim ran through the current local area . Now the place is in the center of the new district of Weilheim-Schongau .

religion

The majority of the population is Catholic; at the last census in 1987, 85.1 percent were Roman Catholic and 10.7 percent were Protestant. The formerly independent Catholic parish was merged with the Peitinger parish a few years ago due to the lack of priests. There is now a priest who lives on site again.

dialect

In not everywhere equally typical is Bairisch as spoken in large parts of Upper and Lower Bavaria, especially on the north side of the mountain is still a slight coloring of Lech Rainer dialect noticeable touch of Bavarian and Alemannic language elements and characteristic of the area of the so-called Lech Rains is . The influence of the Alemannic dialect is already clearer in the neighboring town of Peiting, which historically belongs to the west. Historically, this goes back to the time after the retreat of the Romans, as this created a transition area between the Alemanni and Bavarians .

Incorporations

On January 1, 1978, parts of the area of ​​the dissolved Ammerhöfe municipality were incorporated. Eastern parts of the community were previously Ammerhöfer area.

Population development

Between 1988 and 2018 the municipality grew from 3,265 to 3,855 by 590 inhabitants or 18.1%.

traffic

Road traffic

The B 472 , which leads from Irschenberg to Marktoberdorf , runs through the southern part of the village . In earlier centuries, the main road ran essentially on the route of today's WM 13 district road on the north side of the Hohen Peißenberg and was mainly used for the transport of salt. This former salt road was also used by King Ludwig II when he traveled from Munich to Hohenschwangau to the two castles from what was then the end of the railway in Peißenberg . This salt road led from the Berchtesgadener Land into the Allgäu . The "Lower Salt Road" also ran through Huglfing, Peißenberg, Peiting and Schongau. In 1889 the new state road, which is also the current main road, was opened on the south side of the mountain.

From 2009 to 2017, a 5.5 kilometer long route of the bypass road on the southern outskirts was under construction, which was opened on December 18, 2017. This is the last section of the joint new route of the B 17 and B 472 with bypasses of Schongau, Peiting, Hohenpeißenberg and Peißenberg.

Rail transport

Also on the south side of the Hohen Peißenberg there is a small train station on the Schongau – Peißenberg railway line . Diesel multiple units of the Bavarian Regiobahn operate on this route every hour . Originally it was the wish of the community of Hohenpeißenberg to build the station at Schächen, which would not have been possible because of the steep incline from Peißenberg. That is why the station was built at a lower, more southern point. From 1937 the weather shaft at the station had its own siding. In addition, there was a warehouse on a stump track at the station until the 1950s . The loading track was there until the end of the 1970s and there was an intersection track until the 1990s , when the two trains from Weilheim and Schongau met in Hohenpeißenberg. Now the respective pairs of trains meet in Peißenberg. The actual station building used to have a loading ramp with storage space. Later, the building changed its appearance through a renovation, whereby the loading ramp was omitted. Today there is a covered shelter and a parking lot on the site.
