Origin of name

In a Freising document from May 26, 805, the place Wiedenzhausen is mentioned for the first time as " Winimunteshusiv ". "Winimunteshusiv" means something like "in the houses of a certain Winimuth". The stem syllable "Munt" means something like "protective hand" or "great protection" in Old and Middle High German.

history

middle Ages

On May 26, 805, Wiedenzhausen was first mentioned in a Freising document as Uuinimunteshusir ( Winimunteshusir ). A certain Meginhart donated everything he owned in this place to the Church of the Blessed Virgin Mary and Saint Korbinian in Freising. In 808 the priest Pernhard had a church built in Wiedenzhausen. On August 15, 808, the Freising Bishop Atto consecrated the church to the Blessed Virgin Mary. A long era of Marian devotion begins in this church, as the statue of Our Lady on the high altar testifies to this day. August 15th was a Marian festival in the 8th and 9th centuries. Here the consecration date, the auxiliary bishop, the initial patronage and the builder are mentioned in a document, which is very rare.

In 815 there is another documentary reference to Wiedenzhausen. The church property is transferred to the episcopal Vogt Spulit. In 955, the Hungarians who invaded the previous decades were crushed on the Lechfeld near Augsburg. Between 957 and 994, Bishop Abraham von Freising exchanged a farm in Wiedenzhausen with 16 acres for a farm of the same size in Hohenkammer. A few years later, between 977 and 994, the bishop acquires another farm in Wiedenzhausen and gives 2 farms in Sulzemoos. Because of these barter deals there are suspicions that the bishops of Freising wanted to concentrate property in Wiedenzhausen.

13th to 16th centuries

Around 1250 the dukes of Schiltberg left 2 farms in Wiedenzhausen. In 1296 the Angerkloster in Munich bought a property in Wiedenzhausen. In 1315, Wiedenzhausen appears for the first time in a diocesan description (Konradinisches Matrikel) as a branch church of the Einsbach parish with its own cemetery. In May 1447, after the death of Duke Ludwig im Bart , 2 farms in Wiedenzhausen were transferred to the Duchy of Bavaria-Landshut .

Due to the increase in the population, the number of properties in Wiedenzhausen rises from 24 in 1450 to 29 in 1485 due to court demolitions and new foundations. It is a tavern, 3 whole farms, 20 Sölden and 5 fiefdoms. Around 1500 two farms in Wiedenzhausen belonged to Duke Georg von Bayern-Landshut. These two goods come from the estate of the Dukes of Schiltberg, who died out around 1250. At that time there were already 32 properties. In 1529, Duke Wilhelm IV of Bavaria had bought the farm of host Wilhelm Rammlspacher , a "Viertheil Zehends" and an estate that he had bought. The place belongs to the regional court Dachau.

17th to 18th centuries

With the foundation of the Taxa monastery and the veneration of the Virgin Mary that began there, the church of Wiedenzhausen lost its importance as a pilgrimage to the Virgin Mary in 1619. The Swedes occupied the area in 1632 and remained present in Bavaria until 1634. The population suffered not only from the devastation of the Swedes, but also from the billeting of the imperial and Spanish troops. The area in the Dachau regional court is one of the worst affected regions in Bavaria. In 1646 and 1648 the war returned to Bavaria. According to contemporary representations, the devastation caused by the campaigns was even more severe than in the period from 1632 to 1634. The child's head-sized Swedish ball (popularly: sow bell ) found near the church in 1933 attests to the presence of the Swedes.

1652 was probably the beginning of the pilgrimage on foot to St. Leonhard in Inchenhofen . This pilgrimage was probably caused by the great hardship of the years after the Thirty Years War . Inchenhofen is one of the greatest places of pilgrimage in Christendom at this time. The church tower in its current size was completed in 1696. The tower is attributed to the monastery builder von Dießen, Michael Natter (1649–1719).

Compared to 1500, the number of properties increased by a further 8 to 40 in 1760. This includes craftsmen such as blacksmith and Wagner, as the place is on an important street. The country road from Munich via Dachau, Schwabhausen, Odelzhausen to Augsburg, newly built in the middle of the 13th century, was upgraded to Poststrasse in 1760 after extensive repair work. Since then, educational travelers have increasingly used this route.

19th century

Due to the reforms of the Bavarian Minister Maximilian von Montgelas , Wiedenzhausen and Orthofen became a municipality in 1821. The long bond between the two localities is thus also "administratively" confirmed. Ecclesiastically, Orthofen still belongs to the parish of Sittenbach , Wiedenzhausen to the parish of Einsbach. After more than 500 years, Wiedenzhausen was separated from the Einsbach parish on November 15, 1841 and assigned to the Ebertshausen parish. In 1870 the church was renovated. On July 19, 1896, the Wiedenzhausen volunteer fire department was founded.

20th century

After the end of World War I, the place lamented 19 dead and missing.

In 1923 it was connected to the power grid. A census was carried out in 1928, the place had 421 inhabitants. In 1929, after a heated dispute about the location, a school building was built. In 1936 the highway was built through the municipal area. A barrack camp for the construction workers was built on the western edge of the village. The motorway lake was created through gravel extraction.

In 1938 the nave was extended to the west and a gallery was built. In the same year the Munich - Augsburg motorway was opened.

In 1945 American soldiers marched through the village.

After the end of the war, many refugees and displaced persons from the German eastern regions found a temporary or permanent home in Wiedenzhausen. The community complained about 27 dead and missing. In 1950 the church bells delivered in World War II were replaced. The two new bells were cast in the Karl Czudnochwsky bell foundry in Erding. In 1954, teeth from primeval animals were found near the sand pit on the Wirtsberg. The castle of the "Counts of Nordhofen" (Orthofen) once stood in this area.

In 1968 there was loud protest against the planned new major Munich airport. According to the plans, the new airport would extend to the local border of Wiedenzhausen. In allusion to the then Mayor of Munich, Hans-Jochen Vogel , the protest slogan “ Bird stay in your nest ” is coined. However, due to the proximity to the Fürstenfeldbruck NATO air base, the project in the Dachau district has been discarded. In 1978 the village had 800 inhabitants. The Bavarian Ministry of the Interior approved a coat of arms for the municipality in 1978. Abbot staff, plow and paw cross symbolize the three districts.

With the regional reform, the community of Wiedenzhausen was dissolved on May 1, 1978 after 157 years. Wiedenzhausen and Orthofen become districts of the community Sulzemoos.

In 1986 the school building had to give way to a kindergarten. On the initiative of the "Wiedenzhausen Interest Group", a large demonstration against the planned hazardous waste dump took place in May 1994. The renovation work on the St. Florian church was completed in 1986.

21st century

In October 2004 Wiedenzhausen had 889 inhabitants. In 2005, Wiedenzhausen celebrated its 1200th anniversary.
