Ludwig V, Duke of Upper Bavaria, Margrave of Tyrol and Brandenburg died in Zorneding in 1361 while hunting.

The ancient Salt Road (nowadays Bundesstraße 304) gained more and more importance after Munich was founded.

Zorneding’s municipal arms show the Brandenburg eagle holding two charred boughs, one in each talon.

Pöring’s arms show two silver points and a yellow partridge on a blue background.

On 7 June 2005, the sod was turned to begin construction on a community bypass running south of town.

There was formerly also a bus connection to Glonn by way of Oberpframmern and this is still the route for the weekend on-call taxi service.
