history

Various archaeological finds indicate that this area was already settled around 2000 BC. Chr. It was first mentioned in a document from the Wessobrunn monastery in 912 AD.

Walleshausen was an independent municipality until 1972 . In the course of the community reform , Walleshausen became a part of the large community of Geltendorf on July 1, 1972. The pastor of the Assumption of Mary Walleshausen was church historian Walter Brandmüller for almost 26 years .

coat of arms

The coat of arms was not awarded until 1965. The coat of arms shows a silver doe on a blue background in the upper area and a checkerboard pattern in red and silver in the lower half of the coat of arms.

Reason: The parish in Walleshausen was acquired by Polling Monastery in 1461 . The upper part of the coat of arms comes from this monastery, and more precisely from the Tassilo legend. According to tradition, Duke Tassilo III of Bavaria hunted a doe in the Polling area, which suddenly stopped and pawed on the ground. Three wooden crosses were found where the doe stopped. At this point, Duke Tassilo built a Benedictine monastery. The Augustinian Canons Monastery Polling was later founded there. The checkerboard pattern in red and white shown in the lower half is reminiscent of the coat of arms of the Lords of Wabern.

Six of the total of 21 councilors in the community of Geltendorf are currently from Walleshausen - three of them from Wabern (as of June 2016).

Walleshausen train station is located in the east of the town center on the Ammerseebahn .

The continuous main track is on an intermediate platform , the overtaking track is on the house platform . Opposite the station building is a loading track for loading agricultural goods, which was closed in 1994 when the switch was removed. The passing track is long enough to accommodate diverted ICE trains.

Walleshausen station in 1910

The Ammerseebahn was opened on June 30, 1898 by the Royal Bavarian State Railways . The train crossing station Walleshausen was built on it. The single-storey station building was built in the local railway style as a brick building with wooden paneling. In 1938 the building was fundamentally rebuilt, adding a gable roof and removing the wood paneling. Since then it has been kept in the Heimat style. It contains service rooms and a loading hall that is no longer used today. In 1959, the station was equipped with two-wing uncoupled form signals that are still present today. The Ammerseebahn between Mering and Geltendorf was electrified by September 7, 1970. After a road bridge had spanned the station area since the early 1980s, the level crossing in the center of the station could be omitted. The station building has been privately owned since December 2012, although part of it is still rented to Deutsche Bahn .

The station has been served every hour since 2008 by trains of the Bayerische Regiobahn (BRB) from Augsburg-Oberhausen to Schongau . In the rush hour , individual amplifier trains run between Augsburg and Geltendorf. All trains that run on the route serve the station. At the station Geltendorf transfer to the bus line S4 of the Munich S-Bahn .
