History
According to local legend, Haimhausen was founded by three brothers: Heimo, Petto and Indo, (which form the placenames Haimhausen, Amperpettenbach and Inhausen), these three villages are near each other. Nevertheless, the area around Haimhausen may have been inhabited as far back as the Bronze Age. Haimhausen first appeared on a document in AD 772 as 'Heiminhusir'. It one time had a court square (Schranne) in AD 829. Haimhausen had always been a noble estate since the Middle Ages. The complicated ownership of land showed transfers of estates from various noble houses. A simple castle or manor house (Schloss) was first mentioned in the late 13th century. The first record of a Catholic church (St. Nikolaus) was in 1485. Haimhausen was in the middle of hereditary feuds by various Bavarian ducal houses in the late Middle Ages, especially the House of Wittelsbach. On August 5, 1504, during the War of the Succession of Landshut (Landshuter Erbfolgekrieg) Haimhausen was burnt to the ground. During the Thirty Years War, Haimhausen was severely damage by the invading Swedes in 1632 during their march to Munich, followed by a plague in 1633/1634. Then later in the war, the town was attacked again by Swedes and French in 1648, and again decimated by plague in 1649. The manor house/castle was rebuilt in 1660. By the mid-18th century, the castle came under the ownership of Count Sigmund von Haimhausen. He would later be the founding president of the Bavarian Academy of Sciences, and the Nymphenburg Porcelain Factory. Haimhausen had a 400 year-old beer brewery until it closed in 2019 and converted into a Wirtshaus/Restaurant, (Schlossbrauerei Haimhausen). The modern community of Haimhausen, as a municipality, was created during the Bavarian Administrative Reforms of 1818.…
