Viehbach is a district of the municipality of Fahrenzhausen in Bavaria .
history
The small village is first mentioned in church records in 1315 as "Viehpach" or "Fichten am Bach". It was probably settled even earlier. An old Roman road leads between Viehbach and Westerndorf from Passau to Augsburg .
The name of the church in Viehbach ( St. Laurentius ) is first mentioned in a document in 1524. Local sources state that today's church was built on the foundations of a much earlier church. The village was under the administration of Dachau , while the church was under the control of Freising .
Viehbach and his church were probably badly damaged during the Thirty Years' War , especially during the Swedish invasion of Bavaria in 1632. In 1669 new side altars were rebuilt in the church.
Viehbach and other villages were in danger by the Duke of Marlborough during the War of the Spanish Succession in July 1704. The villages of Viehbach and Bachenhausen recorded the looting and fires around them. When their houses were miraculously spared from destruction, they vowed to hold a mass every year on St. Florian's Day (May 4th) to commemorate their liberation. The Annunciation can still be seen in the old village church in Viehbach.
In 1817 the church had 118 believers in Viehbach, who lived in 26 houses. In 1868 a census by the Kingdom of Bavaria recorded 143 inhabitants and 55 buildings. In 1876 a census of the German Empire recorded 169 inhabitants and 56 buildings (including 43 horses and 180 cattle).
During the Second World War , units of the US Army crossed Viehbach in April 1945 shortly before the liberation of Dachau and Munich.
Viehbach was part of a district reform program in the 1970s, in which the jurisdiction was transferred from Dachau to Freising.
In 2014 Viehbach had 353 inhabitants.
In 2016 the shooting club SG "Gemütlichkeit" Viehbach-Bachenhausen eV opened a new facility in Viehbach.
