background
Dorfen was first mentioned in a document in 773, this also applies to Oberdorf, as no distinction was made between Dorfen and Oberdorf. Dorfen was systematically established around 1230 by Duke Ludwig the Kelheimer, as a base against the bishopric of Freising (rule of Burgrain) and against the county of Haag and as an economic center for the area between Erding, Landshut, Wasserburg am Inn and Mühldorf am Inn. Between 1229 and 1237 the place was given market rights by his successor, Duke Otto II the illustrious. The Lower Bavarian dukes endowed the market with rights and freedoms and in 1331 granted it the Landshut market rights with numerous improvements over the earlier privileges. Dorfen became the seat of a district judge and was given independent lower jurisdiction and civil self-government in 1324 and 1331 - so that the village of the 13th and 14th centuries was in no way inferior to the cities of the time in terms of its layout and economic life The Swedes occupied the market in 1632 and 1634, looted, murdered and burned the houses. In its wake appeared the plague, which wiped out a third of the remaining population. In the 17th and 18th centuries, Dorfen was one of the most visited pilgrimage sites in southern Bavaria, together with the Mother of Grace von Dorfen. Around 1885/90 the Hague Gate was demolished and the ramparts removed and the moat filled in and made as a footpath. In 1910 the “Dorfner Beer War” took place: When the Maß beer was supposed to be two pfennigs more expensive due to a malt surcharge, the people's soul was boiling. Strikes and calls for boycotts continued to fuel the mood. The farms of the two breweries went up in flames as a result of arson, and the fire spread to other houses. In Munich pioneers were put on standby, but they were not used because the price increase was withdrawn. Several arrests and criminal proceedings ended the unrest. In the 1920s, after a devastating flood, the Isen, which had previously loops around the market, was straightened. In the years after 1945, the Moosener Siedlung, Isener Siedlung and the Lerchenhuber Siedlung, which together have around 2500 residents, developed. On November 10, 1954, Dorfen was elevated to a city by the Bavarian Minister of the Interior, Wilhelm Hoegner.
