In 750 A.D. a wandering monk named Alto came to the area and founded a small monastery.
Before 1000, the Guelphs built a Benedictine monastery.
Welf I, Duke of Bavaria brought 1,056 monks to colonize the newly founded monastery vineyard in Altdorf （now Weingarten）, while the nuns previously established in Altdorf came to Altomünster.
They lived there until the dissolution of the monastery in 1488 by Pope Innocent VIII. Around 1310, the Wittelsbach dukes awarded the residents town rights.
On 4 October 1391 the market and town rights were confirmed by Duke Stephen III, Duke of Bavaria.
Around 1420, the Ingolstadt dukes built the marketplace.
In 1496, Duke George of Bavaria gave nuns of the Order of St.
Bridget of Sweden from Maihingen permission to found a monastery at Altomünster.
On March 18, 1803, the monastery was finally dissolved, although it was later revived...
