The town of Hohenpeißenberg only came into being as a result of mining. Within around 110 years, the number of residents has increased almost tenfold.
The first street in the south of the town was only built in 1889. In 1906 five single-family homes were built on what is now Blumenstrasse. In 1925 the town had more than 2100 inhabitants. 25 years later, in 1950, 3,575 people lived in the town. After the Second World War, many refugees were accommodated in the village.
