You can explore Eicherloh to help plan your trip through two themes: local history, with milestones from the late 11th century to 1958, and the landscape setting of Reitstall Gut Eicherloh. If you are interested in history, you can place several events in chronological context; if you prefer connections to nature, a named natural area provides a second focus.
Local history in several stages
Eicherloh was first mentioned in a document dating from the late 11th century, in connection with the transfer of a farm to Freising Cathedral Chapter. Another historical reference is 1828: five families from the Palatinate, from Wörth am Rhein, acquired the “Aicherloh” farm and are considered the founders of Eicherloh. These details describe different aspects: the early mention links Eicherloh to a farm transfer, while the later date identifies specific families, their origins, and the acquisition of a particular farm. The year and the name of the farm make 1828 a distinct milestone. There are 130 years between the purchase of the farm and the subsequent consecration in 1958. This makes it possible to view the account of the founders and the church’s history as clearly separate stages in time.
The religious history adds to this timeline. An altar niche was installed during the construction of the new schoolhouse in Eicherloh in 1933/34; once the building was completed, church services could be held there. Later, on July 27, 1958, Auxiliary Bishop Dr. Johannes Neuhäusler consecrated the Church of the Assumption of Mary in Eicherloh. The schoolhouse and the church represent two different milestones: first, services in the schoolhouse after its completion, then the consecration of the church. The dates also differ in precision: the construction of the new schoolhouse is dated to 1933/34, while a specific day is given for the consecration. For orientation, 1933/34 marks the construction of the new schoolhouse, while 1958 dates the consecration of the church.
Landscape and regional orientation
Reitstall Gut Eicherloh is located in the heart of the Finsinger Moos, close to the bird sanctuary and the reservoirs. This location offers three specific points of reference for the surrounding landscape: the moor, the protected area, and the lakes. This provides a geographically specific perspective alongside Eicherloh’s chronological local history. If you would like to take the landscape into account when choosing your destination, the riding stable’s location offers a specific point of reference.
The Gutsstüberl serves homemade food, cakes, and refreshments. As the offerings may change, check what is currently available before visiting.
For broader trip planning, you can also consider the larger destination of Finsing: Skulp Tour III starts there. Finsing is therefore the stated starting point for this tour and a separate regional point of reference alongside Eicherloh’s historic milestones.
