    Petting, built on an alluvial surface from the last Ice Age, is said to have been an island when large areas were still under water. The island was considered safe and protected and was already inhabited at that time.

    According to traditional records, the name Petting means a place that is subject to the inflow and outflow of water.

    The place is said to have had a church around 800, but it was destroyed by the Hungarians around 900. The castle of the nobles of Pettingen supposedly stood on the square of the church. This noble family goes back to the 6th century. It is assumed that the succeeding gentlemen took the name of the village as their own. It is also assumed that petting already existed at the time of the Romans and that it had the same name at that time.

    The history of the Ringham district can be traced back even further, according to the Salzburg property register of Bishop Arno, the so-called "Notitia Arnonis", which already existed in 788.

    The place was first mentioned in 1048 as "Pettinga". In 1335 the parish of Petting is incorporated into the St. Zeno monastery in Reichenhall. Petting was the seat of a chairman of the Archbishopric of Salzburg and fell to Archduke Ferdinand of Tuscany during secularization in 1803, and to Austria in 1805, which Petting had to cede to the Kingdom of Bavaria in 1810. Petting then became an independent political municipality through the municipal edict of 1818.

    On July 1, 1971, the parish of Ringham joined the parish of Petting, whose municipal administration was previously housed in the Petting parish chancellery. In order to avoid incorporation in the course of the Bavarian regional reform, Petting became an administrative association with Waging a. See, Taching and Wonneberg. After intensive efforts, Petting was able to leave the administrative community of Waging am See on January 1, 1986.
