Mitterskirchen is situated in a small side-valley of the Rott, bordering on the district of Oberbayern (upper Bavaria).

Mitterskirchen used to belong to the Rentamt [bar; de; es] Landshut and the Landgericht (court) Eggenfelden of the Electorate Bavaria.

The Freiin of Ingenheim, born a von Closen of Gern and Arnstorf, owned an open Hofmark here in 1800.

In 1998, according to official statistics, there were 6 people employed in agriculture and forestry, 175 in production and 9 in commerce and traffic at this location.

The extension was necessary due to the bad condition of the original pieces of street that went through the village and the commuting traffic and heavy trucks.
