History
Chronology
In 750 A.D. a wandering monk named Alto came to the area and founded a small monastery.
Before 1000, the Guelphs built a Benedictine monastery. Welf I, Duke of Bavaria brought 1,056 monks to colonize the newly founded monastery vineyard in Altdorf (now Weingarten), while the nuns previously established in Altdorf came to Altomünster. They lived there until the dissolution of the monastery in 1488 by Pope Innocent VIII.
Around 1310, the Wittelsbach dukes awarded the residents town rights.
On 4 October 1391 the market and town rights were confirmed by Duke Stephen III, Duke of Bavaria.
Around 1420, the Ingolstadt dukes built the marketplace.
In 1496, Duke George of Bavaria gave nuns of the Order of St. Bridget of Sweden from Maihingen permission to found a monastery at Altomünster.
On March 18, 1803, the monastery was finally dissolved, although it was later revived. Today, apart from a branch in Bremen, it is the last monastery of the Order of St. Bridget of Sweden in Germany.
In 1823, Altomünster lost its town status and became a rural municipality with market rights. The main reason for this was the closure of the monastery, which had been the main employer paid all the administrative costs.
In 1862 a hospital was built.
In 1869 a kindergarten was built.
In 1882 the Market Savings Bank was founded.
In 1888 Altomünster was connected to the telegraph service, followed in 1902 by the telephone service.
Between 1907 and 1910 the town was electrified.
On 18 December 1913 the Dachau–Altomünster railway opened.
In 1977, a new school complex was inaugurated.
On 1 December 1996 the "Spider" discotheque burnt down - three days after the conviction of the manager and "disco mafia accomplice" Karl Heinz S.[2] Since then, regular Spider revival parties have been held.[3]
