History

Altötting was one of the original parts of Bavaria. It was settled by Bavarian tribes shortly after the retreat of the %20%20%20%20The%20Roman%20Empire%20is%20not%20the%20Holy%20Roman%20Empire%20(843-1806).%20%20%20%20%20%20%20... Romans. During the rule of duke Tassilo III (748-788) the place of Ötting was mentioned for the first time (the towns of Altötting and Neuötting are derived from that place). Soon in the 9th century the region became a religious centre with famous churches and monasteries. In the 15th century it became a place of %20%20%20A%20pilgrimage%20is%20a%20journey%20by%20a%20religious%20person%20to%20a%20place%20that%20is%20sacred%20according%20to%20his%20or%20her%20religion.%20%20%20... pilgrimage.
