Because of being on the border of thesandur of Munich, an earlysettlement in the southern part of today's community area is unlikely, because thetillage was disadvantaged here compared to the northern part. Consequently, the oldest town of the community is Purfing, where a settlement from the period between 750 and 600 BC was found.
Vaterstetten was founded by the OldBavarii Fater family.
Until 1056 the district of Weißenfeld (Wizzinvelt) was in the possession of theHoly Roman EmperorHenry III as aReichsgut. The fact he instructed his wife about negotiations over his ownership on these lands on his deathbed in the year 1056, shows how significant they must have been for him.[3]
It was here in the summer of 1800 that the Parsdorf Ceasefire was signed by Major GeneralFranz Joseph of Dietrichstein and GeneralJean Victor Moreau, which later came to an end with theBattle of Hohenlinden. In 1818, when there was the RoyalBavarian territorial reform, the community of Parsdorf was founded and it replaced the former "Steuerdistricts". The administrative seat of the community was transferred to Parsdorf probably because of its importantcoaching inn.
An increase of the population of the community began with the connection to the rail network in 1871.
In 1913 physicist and philosopherErnst Mach settled in Vaterstetten, where he died 1916.
The district of Baldham was selected as a location for the studio ofHitler's sculptorJosef Thorak before the beginning of World War II. The building, which was created byAlbert Speer, is now a branch of theBavarian State Archaeological Collection in Munich. On 5 May 1945, the delegations of theGerman Army Group G and the7th U.S. Army met here to discuss the surrender of the 200,000 German soldiers in southern Germany, which was finally signed in the neighbour community of Haar.
On 19 July 1944, a USConsolidated B-24 bomber crashed into the forest between Vaterstetten and the neighbouring town of Ottendichl (part of Haar). In 2009, the place has been marked by a memorial plaque.[4]
The current community of Vaterstetten came into being with the municipal reform of 1978. The old community included all the same current centres as are now found in Vaterstetten, but it was named Parsdorf. On 1 May 1978, the community's name was changed to Vaterstetten, by which time the community's main centre had long been of that same name, along with Baldham.Before that reform, a part of Baldham (named Baldham-Kolonie) belonged toZorneding.
Vaterstetten is part of the Munich Transport and Tariff Association (Münchner Verkehrs- und Tarifverbund, or MVV). TheMunich S-Bahn’s lines S4 and S6 run over theMunich–Rosenheim line through the community serving theVaterstetten andBaldham stations.
Four buslines of theVaterstettener Innerörtlicher Personennahverkehr (Vaterstetten Local Passenger Transport, or VIP) run regularly in the local area.
The name Vaterstetten is well known to many motorists for itsAutobahn roadhouse lying onthe A99. The Autobahn itself runs by the community about one kilometre away. Through the community’s south end runs theWasserburger Landstraße (officially named B304), one of Munich’s main arterial roads.
Within the community stand four elementary schools, aHauptschule, aRealschule and the Humboldt-Gymnasium Vaterstetten, as well as afolk high school and amusic school.
