history
Until the church is planted
Finds in the area of the district go back to the time of the bell beaker culture 2000 BC. It was settled by the Celts , who built an important oppidum in nearby Manching , and from 15 BC onwards. Chr. The conquest by the Romans, who eingliederten the area of the province Raetia. After 500 the Bavarian conquest began, in the course of which the municipality Weyering, initially named in the documents, came into being. The local nobility built a heavily fortified castle here (with a high wall and several moats); it later came into the possession of the Mufflinger dynasty. As a result of the First Bavarian War of Succession, the Duchy of Neuburg was created in 1505 , to which the Weicheringer were henceforth owed . In the period that followed, the place suffered from repeated wars, in particular the Thirty Years' War claimed many victims here; the oldest inn in town, the “Obere Wirt”, survived the chaos of war to this day.
In the course of the administrative reforms in Bavaria , the municipality Weichering was created with the municipal edict of 1818 .

Church history
Mills in Weichering
The Ach river meanders along the village of Weichering and through the village . There were two mills by the stream.
Village mill
Opposite the cemetery in Weichering is the mighty building of the village mill, which can also be read on an inscription. The mill building was in operation from 1347 to 1917. The Ach drove the mill wheels . A chronicle in the Neuburger Kollektaneenblatt from 1952 states that the mill operation can be traced back to the year 1214. In 1908, mill justice, i.e. the right to operate a mill, was replaced by the state and in 1917 the mill was stopped. In 1579 the building is said to have been in a "bad condition". The mill burned down in the Thirty Years War, but was later rebuilt, but was only able to grind on two courses in 1655. In 1775 the mill was built from scratch. In addition, a sawmill was built without a building permit. The owner had to justify himself for this and stated that it had burned down twice; last during the Thirty Years War, then it was no longer built. At first the mill was closed, but in the end they were lenient and only asked a small penalty.
On the night of February 28th to March 1st in 1801, shortly after noon, a fire broke out in the mill. In fifteen minutes the whole house was on fire. The sleepers saved themselves by jumping from the second floor. A maid did not come out dead under the rubble until the next day.
Upper mill
The “Obere Mühle” stood barely a kilometer from the village, today in the immediate vicinity of the sports field. This grinding vehicle was first mentioned in 1497. At that time the owner was Bernhard Obermüller and his wife Margaret. The Swedes also lived here during the Thirty Years War and in 1633 completely destroyed the property. In 1676 there was still talk of a "desolate mill square". In 1678, Duke Philipp Wilhelm left the homestead free of charge as a liege lord to Freiherr Friedrich Sittich von Hacke (father of the Palatinate colonel hunter Ludwig Anton von Hacke and great-grandfather of the Bavarian finance minister Johann Wilhelm von Hompesch zu Bolheim ). He rebuilt the mill and built a hunting lodge on the other side of the stream. According to a tax description from 1727, the Obere Mühle with its three gears had the second highest tax value after the Dorfmühle.
In 1780, the mill operator Josef Vogel wanted to supplement his income with a wheat beer tap, but this was not approved. In 1794 the mill was foreclosed by auction. In 1800 the warlike events and troop marches hit the new owner Joseph Gietl hard. At times it was not possible to grind at all. In 1802 the mill changed hands again. The Danube moss drainage and the axle regulation followed. The state replaced the mill in 1811 and had it demolished. An attempt in 1820 to rebuild a mill here was not approved. The hunting lodge still stands today.
Major fire
A major fire broke out in Weichering on March 13, 1856. A bricklayer repaired a damaged chimney at number 52. The house owner heated up strongly and the flames spread from the house, which was now burning, to the place in the wind. The fire brigades came from the area, including Neuburg and Reichertshofen. Of 79 farmsteads, 41 houses and 31 outbuildings fell victim to the fire, as well as 50 head of cattle. The total damage was estimated at 100,000 guilders. Converted into euros, this would have been 3.3 million. Only about a third of this was covered by the insurance.
An auxiliary wave began from all sides. The government of Swabia and Neuburg approved a natural collection for the fire victims. The Neuburger Wochenblatt made a call for help. Entire wagons with grain, straw, hay, food, beds and clothes then rolled into Weichering, along with donations of money. In Neuburg, two theater events were on the program for the benefit of the fire victims. The former King Ludwig I transferred two thousand guilders to help . The ruling King Max II also contributed 500 guilders.
