Geography
Mitterskirchen is situated in a small side-valley of the Rott, bordering on the district of Oberbayern (upper Bavaria). Mitterskirchen is at the federal highway B588, about seven kilometers south-west of Eggenfelden, 18 kilometers north of Altötting, 23 kilometers north-east of Mühldorf, as well as 22 kilometers south-west of the district capital Pfarrkirchen. The next train station on the railway line Passau - Mühldorf is in Eggenfelden.
History
Mitterskirchen used to belong to the "Rentamt" 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. During the administrative reforms in Bavaria, today's municipality was established by the 1818 "Gemeindeedikt".

Infrastructure
An extension of the federal highway from Eggenfelden to Altötting was finished in 2008, passing the village at a further distance now, and cutting through between the village's north-eastern limits and its adjacent neighborhood Leitenbach. 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.
Education

The school was extended with an additional building in 2004/2005.
