In the course of administrative reform in Bavaria, today's municipality came with the municipality edict of 1818

In 2004, the Spar supermarket was re-flagged in Edeka. In 1996 a retail park opened in the Guglweiterstrasse. Among other things, it housed a penny market, a Fristo beverage market, as well as a butcher and a baker. In 2008, a new building was created for the penny market, which was again completely renovated in 2013. In the old shop area now a pet food store is located.

Education

There are the following institutions (state: 2015):

• Kindergartens: two institutions, 150 kindergarten places with 130 children
• Elementary school: one with 14 teachers and 228 students

Since due to small numbers of students the required minimum number for the formation of a school class was not reached, the elementary school Emmerting-Mehring was dissolved in 2009 and distributed the main students to the surrounding secondary schools Burghausen and Burgkirchen. The elementary school Emmerting remained.
