history

Until the church is planted

The mons, qui dicitur Wakkersberch settlement was first mentioned in a document in 1195 as the clearing of the Schäftlarn monastery . Only with secularization did the farming village become independent. The name Vispach (today's Fischbach) used to appear. The village of Arzbach is first mentioned as Ertspach (derived from ore ). A servant had once discovered ore there on the provost wall and ore was mined there until the 16th or 17th century.

Arzbach, which was settled from the 15th century and was always under the rule of the Lords of Tölz or Hohenburg , served primarily as a home for raftsmen, woodworkers and lime burners. During the Thirty Years' War , Wackersberg was badly hit by the plague, when almost all of the inhabitants were killed by the plague in 1634/35. These were buried by the few survivors in a large barrow and in 1638 the plague chapel was built. From 1652 there were schools in Arzbach and from 1714 in Wackersberg. Wackersberg was part of the Munich Rent Office and the Tölz Regional Court .

The place Wackersberg became an independent political municipality in 1818 in the course of the administrative reforms in Bavaria .

19th to 21st century

In 1846 the Jaudbauer discovered Germany's strongest iodine sources on the Blomberg . Although, strictly speaking, it is located in the Wackersberg area, they later made Tölz a well-known health resort. Due to its location on the hill, Wackersberg was isolated from many political events. But at the end of the Second World War , at the beginning of May 1945, advancing American troops fought there final battles with the SS division "Götz von Berlichingen" . Three courtyards and several barns were destroyed and some uninvolved women in the village were killed. At the end of the war, many refugees found shelter in Wackersberg, so that the town temporarily more than doubled its population at that time.

Wackersberg and Oberfischbach were separate municipalities until they were merged into one municipality during the municipal reform in 1978.

In 2006 the village of Arzbach was on the nomination list for the most beautiful village in Bavaria, but did not win the title.

Incorporations

In 1978, Wackersberg threatened to be incorporated into Bad Tölz as part of the municipal reform . However, a solution was found by merging with the municipality of Oberfischbach on May 1, 1978, which nevertheless lost a small part of Bad Tölz.

Population development

Between 1988 and 2018, the municipality grew from 2,816 to 3,520 by 704 inhabitants or 25%.

The late Gothic Catholic parish church of St. Nikolaus in Wackersberg, which was built in the 15th century and redesigned from 1688, is well worth seeing, and largely received its current appearance. In 1759 it received the new high altar, in 1768 the choir vault was painted and in 1829 the nave was expanded and the choir walls raised. The saddle roof tower was rebuilt in 1872, as was a new high altar. Most of the furnishings in the church date from the late 17th century. On the northern edge of the village you will also find the Resurrection Chapel, which was built in 1706 and expanded in 1712.

The old farmhouses from the early 19th century and the rectory from 1904, especially in Dorfstrasse and Kirchstrasse, are charming in the village. At the foot of the church there is also a memorial to those who died in the two world wars.

Arzbach owns the branch church with a square tower and pointed helmet, which was only built in 1949/50, but has furnishings from the 18th century. There is also the Our Lady Chapel , which was built in 1730 and expanded in 1739. In Arzbach, too, there are numerous old farms and craftsmen's houses from the 17th and 18th centuries, especially in Angerstraße, Kalkofenstraße and Hauptstraße.

The Catholic branch church St. Johannes d. T., which was built by Caspar Feichtmayr between 1671 and 1676 on behalf of Count Herwarth von Hohenburg.
