The village of Eining is a part of the town of Neustadt an der Donau in the Kelheim district in Lower Bavaria . Eining belongs to the Hallertau . Until 1972 it formed an independent municipality.

location

The place is opposite the parish village of Hienheim on a steep bank edge, below which the Abens River flows into the Danube, which flows almost northwards . In the area of ​​Eining and Hienheim, the previously wide Danube valley begins to narrow on both sides and the Danube gradually cuts into the Jura . The place is regularly flooded by floods from the Danube. The World Burger Enge is located about 5 km north-west of the village. Regensburg is about 45 km to the east and Ingolstadt 30 km to the west. Munich is 95 km south of the town.

history

Remnants of vessels from the Younger Stone Age were found in a loess pit south-east of the village .

Foundation walls of Eining Fort

Eining was already settled in Roman times , from around 80 AD to the 5th century, and served both as a military site and as a civil settlement area . In ancient times the name of the place was "Abusina". The foundation walls of Fort Eining have been preserved from this to our time. Abusina is the end point of the approximately 550 km long Upper German-Raetian Limes , the remains of which can still be seen in the local corridor. The Upper-Rhaetian Limes is an archaeological monument and since 2005 a World Heritage Site of UNESCO .

Like many places in the district of Kelheim, Eining is an "ing" place whose name extension suggests that its early medieval origin was in the time of the oldest Bavarian conquest in the 6th or 7th century. In post-Roman times Eining was first mentioned in 1002 as "Ouueninga". The name of the place is probably derived from the proper name Owo, Ouwin or Otwin and should therefore have been a settlement of the Otwin. On November 16, 1002, Emperor Heinrich II, who was born in nearby Bad Abbach , handed over his court Ouueninga to the collegiate monastery of the "Old Chapel" in Regensburg.

The ferry across the Danube between Eining and Hienheim, which still exists today, is mentioned as early as 1270. In 1543 the Einingers competed with the city of Neustadt adDonau by transporting salt and wine. Therefore the Duke ordered: “... that the Urfahr (ferry) to Eining must at all times faithfully report and declare the buckets of wine and all salt at the toll station in Neustadt.” All other goods were expressly allowed to be driven over “not to Eining”.

As early as the 15th century, Eining came from the Neustadt court to the new Abensberg district court in Wittelsbach . The municipality of Eining emerged in 1818 from the tax district Gögging, which was divided into the municipalities of Gögging and Eining. It belonged to the Abensberg district court, after the introduction of the district offices to the Kelheim district office and finally to the Kelheim district.

The municipality of Eining was part of the municipality of Sandharlanden in 1945/1946 , but was restored at its own request. On January 1, 1972, the municipality of Eining lost its independence and was incorporated into the city of Neustadt an der Donau.

church

The church of St. Sebastian dates from the 11th century, is of Romanesque origin and was converted to Baroque style in the 18th century. In 1932 the nave of the church was demolished because it was in disrepair and replaced by a new building. On the occasion of the rebuilding of the church it was found that stones from the Roman fort were used extensively in the construction of the original church. Several memorial stones and a Roman altar from the year 211 were found in the masonry.

Infrastructure

The village has 250 inhabitants and is almost exclusively agricultural and forestry. One mentioned in the 13th century Danube ferry connects as Rollfähre the place with the opposite Hienheim.

The place is served by four bus routes operated by Regionalbus Ostbayern GmbH and the Verkehrsgemeinschaft Landkreis Kelheim in the direction of Kelheim (6018, 6034), Abensberg (6008, 6018, 6023) and Neustadt ad Donau (6034). On Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays, the VLK leisure bus (line 6029) serves the place. This means that there is a 120-minute cycle in the direction of Kelheim and Abensberg Bahnhof. The Audi factory traffic (lines 4 and 96) also runs through the village.

The German Limes Cycle Route runs through the village . This follows the Upper German-Raetian Limes over 818 km from Bad Hönningen on the Rhine to Regensburg on the Danube .

The German Limes Road also runs through the town.

The Limes hiking trail also leads through Eining.

Culture

The Freiwillige Feuerwehr Eining eV was founded in 1882 and is still a very active association to which a large part of the population belongs. Other clubs are the warrior and comrade club Eining and the women's group. Since October 2010 there has been a brass band in town, the members of which are largely singles. The band is called "Grenzstoarucka" and plays at village events and festivals in the area. A children's choir and the Einingen church choir have also been established for some time, primarily through its performance of the Waldler mass.
