background
The first traces of settlement in the Siegsdorf area date back to the 8th century. The first documentary mention is the year 1120, the place name is derived from the Baumburger counts of the Sieghartinger, who settled here. The place subsequently belongs alternately to Bavaria and Salzburg.
In the Middle Ages, the region gained importance through iron ore mining and further processing (Eisenärzt).
In the 17th century, the salt trade route from Bad Reichenhall leads through Siegsdorf.
Today's political municipality was created through the unification of Ober- and Untersiegsdorf in 1934, the connection of the previously independent municipalities Iron doctor, Vogling and parts of Hochberg in 1972 and the places hammer and the southern part of the municipality Haslach in 1978. Siegsdorf is thus the largest municipality in the district of Traunstein-Siegsdorf (TS marked).

Maria Eck
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/45/Siegsdorf_MariaEck.jpg/300px-Siegsdorf_MariaEck.jpg)
The Founding legend tells that three lights appeared to loggers in the night sky over the forest, whereupon they erected a wooden chapel with an altar in the place of the apparition and in the place of today's pilgrimage church.
Evidence shows that the Benedictines from the monastery bought the forest grounds with three alpine ovens Seeon for the year 1618, the construction of the first chapel for the year 1626 and the construction of the tavern for the year 1638: The current pilgrimage church was built in 1642 under the master builder Wolf König, the monastery building above the church was built in 1730.
The Pilgrimage in Maria Eck begins during the 30-year war in the 16th century and is now the largest pilgrimage in the Chiemgau and one of the largest in the Archdiocese of Munich-Freising, with around 100,000 pilgrims and tourists annually.
After its foundation, the Maria Ecke Monastery was the priory of the Seeon Monastery. It belonged to Salzburg and was therefore a little belatedly abolished in 1806 after the secularization (1803) and then privatized. The demolition squad to demolish the church on September 13th, 1806 under the direction of the Siegsdorf pastor and the rent office messenger from Traunstein was stopped just in time by the local farmers and lumberjacks, the pastor and the rent office messenger were beaten up.
Afterwards, Maria Eck's ownership situation was quite changeable, until in 1891 the Franciscan Minorites from Würzburg acquired the monastery complex and revived the monastery tradition with pilgrimages; the annual highlight is the traditional costume pilgrimage on the 3rd Sunday in May with over 5,000 traditional costume people from all over Upper Bavaria.
Particularly worth seeing In the church there are magnificent high altars with the miraculous image and in the left side altar an image of Mary from the 17th century.
