history

Urschalling on a historical map

The beginnings of the small church village go on the 9./10. Century back. Around 1804 there were only six houses and a small church. It is believed that the village owes its name to a founder named Udalschalk ; because in old documents the names Uschalchen and later Uescheling appear, from which the today's village name became. Udalschalk († approx. 1110) was also the name of an abbot of the Tegernsee Monastery , a son of Count Gerold von Neuburg and brother Sibotos I von Neuburg-Falkenstein, who was influential in the Inn Valley and Chiemgau . The wealthy abbot, who co-founded the Dietramszell monastery , may also have donated the church of Urschalling.

In the High Middle Ages the place belonged to the domain of the Counts of Neuburg-Falkenstein . In Urschalling they probably built a fortification or castle between 1160 and 1200, in the immediate vicinity of today's village church. The castle complex to the north of the church has long since disappeared.

After the Bavarian Falkensteiner line died out in the 13th century, the town's owners changed frequently. For a long time, until the beginning of the 19th century, Urschalling belonged to the Wildenwart rulership (as did the neighboring market Prien am Chiemsee , which was still a village at the time). After the Wildenwart rule was merged with the Hohenaschau rule , the jurisdiction of Urschalling from 1813 to the revolution of 1848 was in the hands of the newly formed patrimonial court with its seat in Prien.

Some farms have been preserved and still shape the rural image of the village, which consists of a conglomerate of a few farms and houses. There are also craft shops and a shop on site that currently (2011) sells parasols, but no other retail stores. The traditional Mesner Stub'n restaurant is located next to the village church in a 17th century building made of wood .

St. James Church

The small St. Jakobus Church from the high Middle Ages is of cultural and historical significance , the foundation stone of which was probably laid around the turn of the 11th to the 12th century and which later served as the castle chapel of an external castle complex built by the Counts of Falkenstein between 1160 and 1200 were settled in their main castle below the Petersberg near Flintsbach am Inn . The church houses frescoes from the 12th and 14th centuries that are valuable in art history , including the Urschalling Trinity fresco .

The frescoes, which contain a striking number of women, were whitewashed several times between the 17th and 19th centuries - again after being rediscovered in the 19th century - and came to light again in 1923 rather by chance. They have been extensively exposed and restored in several campaigns at intervals of years since 1940 and are now open to inspection.
