History

The history of the church today Weßling dates back to the time which is commonly referred to as Baiuvarii land acquisition. After the withdrawal of the Romans, who were drawn from 15 BC as legions across the Alps and their civilization had brought with them, sinking the now abandoned, but not depopulated country for nearly a century in the mists of history. Only in the middle of the 6th century the Bavarians take the land between the rivers Enns and Lech in their possession. Since that time, so we can speak of a continuous settlement.

The extending around the small village Wessling Lake Wessling is an old vicarage. In the Middle Ages Weßling belonged first to andechsischen Bailiwick Neufahrn; this had its seat in Mamhofen. After the end of the Andechs in 1248 the village Weßling came into the possession of the reign of Seefeld. The 19th century brought great changes in the political structure and thus a change in ownership. In 1848, the resolution of the Hofmarken took place, including the so Weßling now heard from Seefeld to the district court Starnberg.
