history

In the direction of Attenfeld, burial mounds from the Hallstatt period (approx. 700–500 BC) were discovered as early as the middle of the 19th century. It is very likely that the place name Unterstall comes from the Germanic stal , which means something like "lower dwelling" or "refuge".

There was evidence that Unterstall was also inhabited in Roman times and was then called Castra Ventonia . It was at the intersection of three Roman roads and served as a trading post and a guard post. A villa rustica on Bergheimer Straße to St 2314 (formerly B 16 ) is occupied.

Unterstall and its church were first mentioned in documents in 1179 as the property of the Eichstätter cathedral chapter. A castle stood on what is now Kirchberg in the Middle Ages. In 1496 this was abandoned and replaced by a castle in the town center, which no longer exists today.

A Gothic style church with a fortified character was built on the site of the castle. It is still in use today and is dedicated to St. Magnus .

In 1542, Unterstall had to accept the Protestant faith of the sovereign Palatine Count Ottheinrich , although from a manorial point of view it belonged to the Catholic cathedral chapter Eichstätt. In 1547 the Protestant pastor was again replaced by a Catholic one, and after Ottheinrich's reinstatement in 1554, the Catholic priest was replaced by a Protestant priest. This did not happen without resistance from the villagers. From 1617, Unterstall was again Catholic.

During the Thirty Years' War, Unterstall and the neighboring villages of Joshofen and Bergheim were occupied several times, most recently in 1648 by 3,000 Swedish soldiers. A major fire in 1718 destroyed 13 houses. In the period from 1712 to 1730 there were several cattle diseases in the Unterstall. Austrian and French troops looted the place in 1809.

Unterstall was connected to the water supply in 1902 and to the electrical supply in 1922. A first surface canal was completed in 1928. On May 1, 1978, the previously independent community of Unterstall was merged into the newly founded community of Bergheim. On January 30, 1986 the government of Upper Bavaria approved the local coat of arms.
