On the high banks of the Ammer Valley

This officially recognised health resort lies atop the steep sides of the gorge-like Ammer Valley. In the centre of the town is the venerable, 900 year-old Augustinian monastery with the famous ‘Mariae Geburt’ Monastery Church.

History

  • 1073 At the behest of Bishop Altmann of Passau, Duke Welf I of Bavaria changes a hermitage in Rottenbuch into an Augustinian monastery
  • 1090 and 1092 Through pontifical privileges, Rottenbuch becomes a pontifical monastery and then the centre of canon reform in Bavaria and pontifical base in the investiture dispute
  • 1803 The flourishing foundation is abolished following the conversion of the monastery church to Baroque style and the reconstruction of the monastery. The communities of Rottenbuch, Böbing, Wildsteig and Schönberg emerge from the former ‘Hofmark’ (district) of Rottenbuch
  • 1956 Rottenbuch receives its coat of arm, a beech with roots and seven red leaves on a silver background.
  • 1978 Schönberg becomes part of Rottenbuch
