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.
