The vacation spot Fischbachau is on the Leitzach im Mangfall Mountains in Upper Bavaria. The Martinsmünster of the former Benedictine monastery in Fischbachau is listed as the best preserved Romanesque basilica in southern Bavaria, the cemetery church "Marä Schutz" is the oldest unchanged old Bavarian Church building, the Birkenstein chapel is one of the most important pilgrimage sites in Bavaria.
background
Fischbachau is located in a basin in the extensive valley floor of the Leitzach.
The first documentary mention takes place in the Freisinger "Liber commutationum et traditionum" around 1078/1080 by Countess Haziga (Hedwig), ancestor of the Wittelsbach family. The name "Viscpachisowa" stands for a meadow on the Fischbach. The place is also a farming village and is closely tied to the monastery.
After the end of the secularization of the monastery, Fischbachau became an independent municipality in 1811.
Today's community of Fischbachau was created in 1976 during the Bavarian regional reform through the merger of the previously independent communities of Fischbachau, Hundham, most of Wörnsmühl and a small part of the former community of Niklasreuth.

Tourist Attractions
Fischbachau Monastery
The former monastery in Fischbachau was built around 1080 in Bayrischzell Founded as a Benedictine monastery, but moved to Fischbachau in 1085 due to the harsh climate. However, the abbey was soon also first on the Petersberg Dachau relocated and in 1119 finally in the former castle Scheyern (Headquarters of the Wittelsbach family).
The monastery in Fischbachau remained the priory of the abbey in Scheyern and is considered to be primarily responsible for the spiritual, cultural and economic prosperity in the Leitzach valley. During the secularization, the monastery was dissolved in 1803.
- Parish church St. Martin built as a monastery church from 1096 and consecrated to St. Martin in 1010, the Romanesque building remained essentially unchanged until the end of the Middle Ages. It was not until the 18th century that the interior was given the late Baroque and Rococo furnishings Wessobrunner Artist, the high altar dates from around 1770. Today, the church is a stylish combination of Romanesque on the outside and Baroque and Rococo on the inside. The former minster has been the parish church of Fischbachau since secularization and is listed as the best-preserved Romanesque basilica in southern Bavaria. The portal door from 1729 is particularly worth seeing.
- "Maria Schutz" (today cemetery church), built in 1087 as the first monastery church, the Romanesque building is considered to be the oldest church in Upper Bavaria that has been preserved in its structural fabric. The Madonna Altar (around 1550) is worth seeing inside. A "Holy Grave" from 1786 is built during Holy Week.
The churches and the outdoor area of the monastery are freely accessible during the day: the former Probsteig building, which is under monument protection, has been the property of the municipality since 1971/1978 and is also used as the town hall and "Haus des Gastes" for the tourist office.
