history

Numerous finds indicate an early settlement of this area: On the Stätteberg there is a hilltop castle from the Bronze Age with a ring wall and sacrificial site, as well as a larger section wall. A Roman temple (Mühlhartfurt) was located at the intersection of the Roman roads south of the Stätteberg. The remains of Roman lime kilns can be found in the grave.
Originally Unterhausen was called Grumoldshausen , Grünwaldshausen or Grimoldshausen , i.e. houses of the Grimwald . From 1000 to 1200 there were three landlords in Unterhausen: the German king and the marshals of Pappenheim and Kalendin who were enfeoffed by him , the Graisbachers and the Benedictine convents in Neuburg an der Donau . In Pappenheimer Urbar the two were already Husen (upper and lower Hausen) mentioned. Until 1552 the village was mainly owned by the nuns and the Bavarian dukes, who had it administered by a secular bailiff. The Graisbacher possessions were transferred to the Niederschönenfeld Monastery , which soon exchanged them with the Augsburg Cathedral Chapter.
After the abolition of the Benedictine convent in 1552, the property passed to the Bavarian dukes, who then donated it to the Jesuit college in Neuburg . From 1781 onwards, the Maltese Coming Party (as the successor to the Jesuit College) and from 1822 the Bavarian King exercised the right of patronage.

The Catholic parish of Sankt Pankratius belongs to the parish community of Sinning . The church dates from 1775, the steeple from 1820.

On January 1, 1972, the independent municipality of Unterhausen, which belonged to the district of Neuburg an der Donau , was incorporated into the municipality of Oberhausen.
