Gebenhofen is a part of the municipality of Affing in the Aichach-Friedberg district, which belongs to the Wittelsbach region in the administrative region of Swabia in Bavaria. Gebenhofen has around 500 inhabitants and is located about ten kilometers northeast of Augsburg between Affing and Anwalting on the Affinger Bach stream. Relics suggest that the first settlements in Gebenhofen date back to the Merovingian period. In the 7th century, a Gebo farm existed in the rural settlement. In the 12th century, the village was associated with the collegiate foundation of St. Andreas in Freising, which owned secular property and, since 1228, the right of patronage of the Gebenhofen parish church and the branch church of Anwalting. A resident Wittelsbach family named itself after the village at this time. A Chunradus de Gebenhouen or Kunrad der Gebenhofer is documented in 1250 and 1306, and a Gebenhovarius in 1280. In 1420, there were nine estates and one bathhouse; in 1554, there were 36 fireplaces (9 peasants and 27 mercenaries). In 1760, the following landowners are mentioned: St. Andreas Abbey Freising, the Affing manorial estate, Gebenhofen rectory, Thierhaupten Monastery, Augsburg Cathedral Chapter, Holy Spirit Hospital Aichach, and Au Church (south of Scherneck Castle). In 1812, Gebenhofen became an independent municipality, but until 1848, it was still subject to the Gravenreuth patrimonial court in Affing. Gebenhofen was also repeatedly plagued by wars. In 955, Hungarians devastated the land. In 1464, Gebenhofen and its neighboring villages were burned down by the Augsburgers. In 1632, the village was invaded by the Swedes (Thirty Years' War), from 1703 to 1705 by the War of the Spanish Succession, and in 1797 by the French revolutionary troops of the Napoleonic Wars. During World War II, on April 28, 1945, Gebenhofen was bombarded by US fighter planes, including incendiary bombs, after the anti-aircraft position west of Gebenhofen resisted the approaching 7th US Army and a US reconnaissance aircraft was fired upon from the village. 34 buildings burned down, but none of the 300 residents were injured. When the German army attempted to establish an observation post in the tower of the village church, Pastor Anton Wiedemann hid the tower key and hid in a vestment box behind the altar. On May 1, 1978, Gebenhofen was incorporated into the municipality of Affing. On May 13, 2015, the town center of Gebenhofen was devastated by a tornado.
