Geography
Holzhausen is located directly on the western bank of the Ammersee at an altitude of 559 meters NN ("standard zero"). According to May 25, 1987 census, Kirchdorf Holzhausen had a population of 282 and 110 total residential buildings containing 142 residential units.

History
It was mentioned in writing in 776, when Isanhart from the Huosier family bequeathed some of his goods, including Holzhusun (meaning houses on the wood) to Schlehdorf Abbey.

In 1226, Otto Fues of Bernried had the patronage. By the 14th century, the monastery Dießen already had the so-called lower and upper court.

When St. Ulrichskirche was mentioned as a parish church in 1456, Holzhausen consisted of just four properties. Plazidus Braun noted this in his history of the Diocese of Augsburg. The place possessed parish rights.

In 1652, 14 properties were registered, nine of which belonged to the monastery Dießen and six to the Füssen hospital. Also,1831 were counted 14 houses, with 74 inhabitants.

Holzhausen belonged to the former municipality of Rieden, which was formed in 1819 from the homonymy and territorial identical tax districts. Until 1819, Holzhausen belonged to the Hofmark St. Georgen in the Landgericht Landsberg, which was owned by the monastery Dießen. On 1 July 1972, Rieden was largely integrated into Dießen, only 261.21 hectares with HolzhausAen came to Utting. The districts were divided with them. Holzhausen belongs today to the Gemarkung Rieden (or to the Gemarkungssteil) in the municipality of Utting.

Artists' Colony Holzhausen
Around 1,900 artists settled here, spent weekends and holidays in studio summer houses, met and celebrated festivals.

The Holzhausen painters belonged to the artists' community "Die Scholle," which was founded in 1899 in Munich. The name "Scholle" comes from a verse by the writer Michael Georg Conrad :

Culture and Sights
The place gained popularity as an artists' village. In Holzhausen, the maypole bears motifs inspired by Paul Neu (1881- 1940). Heinz Rohrmoser, with a new relationship, gave the artist a sponsorship of the "Wetterfahnderl", which adorns the roofs of his estate.

The Artist House Gasteiger with a landscape garden of the Bavarian administration of the state castles, gardens and lakes, where Sophie and Mathias Gasteiger lived and worked, is located on the shore of Lake Holzhausen. In the peasant's room of the art-labilla is now happily married.

On the Sundays from April to October, the Gasteiger-Haus houses the small museum with changing exhibitions. But even if the museum can not be visited, it is worth taking a walk through the landscape park directly on Lake Ammersee to this artist's villa with its cultivated farm and flower garden.

The church of Ortisei, a simple building with a Roman longhouse core and a semibund choir, has a low onion tower, the peak of which was erected around 1800.
