A large stone with mysterious characters has taken its place on the new bike path in Jachenau.
It testifies to a historical monastery dispute.
Jachenau
- The first construction section of the cycle path into the Jachenau from Rehgraben to the Raut district has been gratefully accepted by cyclists for months.
Drivers rate the relief of traffic on the narrow State Road 2072 as positive.
As a last measure, the bike path was measured.
And as the very last step, the surveying team headed by surveying councilor Peter Fischer marked the place with a stake where the old boundary stone from 1584 should again take its place on the border.
“This is a place steeped in history,” reports the Jachenau hobby historian Jost Gudelius sen.
At or near this point, on October 3, 1457, Kaspar Winzerer I, as the caretaker of Tölz and as a “compromise judge” in the dispute between the monasteries Schäftlarn and Benediktbeuern, decided that “of the disputed reason, the part of Gatterl or Brückl under the Rain down to the water of the Jachen belong to the Benediktbeuern church forever, and what is above the rain towards the houses up to the Latvians should remain with the Schäftlarn church as before without any mistake. "
This is how Karl Meichelbeck wrote it down in his Chronicon Benedictoburanum around 1732.
According to Gudelius, you have to know that the Letten farmstead group at the entrance to Jachenau was donated to the Schäftlarn monastery by Duke Rudolf on May 11, 1313.
This is where the border between the dioceses of Munich-Freising and Augsburg, between the former Tölz district court and the Benediktbeuern monastery court, and ultimately between Lenggries and Jachenau - a significant inner-Bavarian border, according to Gudelius - lies.
In accordance with this importance, Jost Gudelius sen.
und jun., the latter himself a surveyor, put the stone from 1584, which father Gudelius found after years of searching on Good Friday 2007, at the given place next to the cycle path, "in the hope that he will be quiet for the next 100 years Has".
