Older History

Ainhofen ("Eiinhofa" or "Farm from Eio") was first mentioned in 837 AD as a church village. The Indersdorf monastery built a local church around 1229. The church was keen to promote a Marian pilgrimage, which is based on a miracle of the statue of Mary from the 12th century. [2]

Ainhofen was robbed and largely destroyed during the Thirty Years' War.

20th Century

An outdoor pool facility was built in 1960 by the members of the swimming club and has been renovated. [3]

Pilgrimage

In 1515 a pilgrimage started in Ainhofen. The focal point was the miraculous Romanesque Madonna of grace (the oldest in southern Germany). Since 1700, two to three hundred Marian pilgrimages were held annually. In 2019 the Ainhofen pilgrimage celebrated its 500th anniversary. [4]
