Weihenstephan is a district of Freising in Upper Bavaria . It is located on the Weihenstephaner Berg, named after the Weihenstephan Abbey , in the west of the city.

history

Secular canons lived in the Weihenstephan Monastery around 1020 . The Freising Bishop Egilbert von Moosburg transferred these to the then deserted Freising Abbey of Sankt Veit and initiated the establishment of a Benedictine monastery , which was settled by Benedictines from St. Kastulus . The monastery church was dedicated to St. Stephen consecrated . Weihenstephan was a monastery courtyard mark - to which the village of Vötting also belonged - with jurisdiction over lower jurisdiction.

In the course of secularization in Bavaria , the abbey was closed in 1803; In February 1812, a former abbey church, at that time one of the parish churches, was demolished and the works of art it contained were brought to the museum, including the Weihenstephan altar . Buildings, stables, as well as land and forest property of the monastery were sold or transferred to the forest school, which moved from Munich in the autumn of 1803, and a newly established model farm. The brewery, founded in Weihenstephan Monastery and nationalized in 1803, has been the Bavarian State Brewery Weihenstephan since 1921 .

Weihenstephan belonged to the municipality of Vötting , which was founded in 1818 and was reclassified as a district from Vötting to the district town of Freising on April 1, 1937.
