history

From the first documentary mention to the 19th century

The first settlements from the 13th century in the area of ​​today's city of Freyung are known; the inhabitants settled in a clearing village near the old Wolfstein Castle , which Bishop Wolfger von Erla had built around 1200 . Before that, Emperor Heinrich VI. ceded the land to some Passau bishops in 1193. At that time, Freyung was not yet a place name, but referred to an area in which the settlers were granted an exemption, i.e. an exemption from taxes. In 1301 this place was first mentioned in a document as Purchstol zu Wolferstein and a forest .

Already in 1354 the neighboring town of Kreuzberg , which was founded at the beginning of the 14th century, received market rights , which were transferred to Freyung in 1523. When a parish church was built in Freyung in 1380 , Kreuzberg had long been a well-known place of pilgrimage . Today's Kreuzberg parish church and the town's first school were first mentioned around 1500. In the Middle Ages , the two villages were hit twice by the plague , but this did not harm the popularity of the pilgrimage site.

When the Principality of Passau was dissolved in 1803 with the main Imperial Deputation, Freyung first fell to the Austrian Duchy of Salzburg and two years later came to the Kingdom of Bavaria with the Peace of Pressburg . In 1811 there were 535 inhabitants. In a devastating city fire in 1872, 39 of the 70 or so houses were destroyed.

20th century and more recent

On December 3, 1953 Freyung was raised to the city. After the incorporation of Ort Freyung was from April 1, 1954 to June 30, 1972 district town of the Wolfstein district . After the unification of the district with the Grafenau district , it became the district town of the Freyung-Grafenau district .

Incorporations

On May 1, 1978, parts of the community Kumreut were reclassified to Freyung.
