history

St. Maria Immaculata Church in Walda
Schainbach with the St. Martin Church

Walda was probably founded around 700 AD. The row graves of a local nobleman with wife and rear seaters also date from this time. The rich grave goods include gold jewelry, gold and silver fittings and a gold leaf cross . North of the village on the steep mountain cone of the Reichenbühl is the early medieval Reichbühl castle stables .
The place name Walda means settlement on the forest and has changed little over the centuries. You can find the spellings Walde (1071), Waldin (1214), Walde (1320), Walden (1450) and Welden (1448).
Instead of the place Schainbach there was originally the village Talmarsdorf ( village of Talmar ), which was later abandoned. The new settlement was named after an estate called Schönbach , which was named after the small stream that came from the Weidorf valley. The spellings over the years were Schenbach (1200), Schonpach and Schoenpach (1250), Schainpach (1500), Schönpach (1560), Schainbach (1634), then again Schönbach , from 1752 finally Schainbach.
In the 15th century, a noble family appeared again in the village, the Kirchheimer or Kirchamer , who built a castle ( Burg Walda ). Walda was a Hofmark , to which, in addition to the castle, numerous farms and lands as well as the lower jurisdiction belonged. At the end of the 16th century the castle was followed by Johann Christ and Tanner von Thann on Buchensried, in the 18th century Count von Lerchenfeld and Freiherr von Egger and at the beginning of the 19th century the Freiherren von Hörwarth from Aiterberg. In 1816 the Hofmark passed on to the von Ehrne family through marriage. From 1840, Maximilian II. Joseph of Bavaria and the Wittelsbach family followed as the owner of the Hofmark . Although Walda Castle was almost completely destroyed by the Swedes in 1632, the Hofmark was preserved and was administered by bailiffs. The Gumppenbergers from nearby Pöttmes had and still have the right of patronage .
The Catholic parish Maria Immaculata belongs to the parish community Ehekirchen. The church building was demolished in 1956 and rebuilt at the north end of the village. The branch church Sankt Martin in Schainbach belongs to the parish .
Until July 1, 1972, the independent municipality of Walda belonged to the district of Neuburg an der Donau and then with the regional reform in Bavaria fell to the enlarged district of Neuburg an der Donau, which was renamed the district of Neuburg-Schrobenhausen on May 1, 1973 . On January 1, 1978 the place was incorporated into the community Ehekirchen. Small areas came to Königsmoos .
