Kirchanschöring (German pronunciation: [ˈkɪʁçˌanʃøːʁɪŋ]) is a municipality in the district of Traunstein in Bavaria, Germany. The community is located in the Rupertiwinkel and borders on the eastern waterside of the Waginger See, although the town itself is situated some kilometers away from the lake.
History
Kirchanschöring earlier belonged to the prince-bishopric of Salzburg. In 788, Kirchanschöring was first mentioned in a document as a possession of archbishop Arno, under the name Anschering. This name probably goes back to the name Ansheri or Anskar, relating to a person who settled there. Over the centuries, the name changed into Anschering and later, after the construction of the church in the 14th century, Kirchanschöring.
