Setup date October 16, 1986

The Öberauer Donauschleife is a 290.59 hectare nature reserve in the city of Straubing and the municipality of Kirchroth in the district of Straubing-Bogen . The portion in the Straubing-Bogen district is almost exclusively in the area of ​​the Saulburger Wiese south of Neudau with an area of ​​60.57 hectares.

The nature reserve comprises a characteristic Danube floodplain landscape, which is an important resting and breeding area for endangered swimming, wading and meadow birds and provides them with a food base and habitat. During the construction of the Straubing barrage, the six-kilometer-long Öberau Danube loop was shortened for shipping by means of a puncture and thus became an oxbow lake. The mean width of the protected area along the river loop is a good five hundred meters and is largely in the inner radius of the loop.

The nature reserve was temporarily secured by ordinance in November 1984 and established by ordinance in October 1986.

The nature reserve lies entirely within the landscape protection area of ​​the Bavarian Forest and also the fauna-flora-habitat area " Danube and oxbow lakes between Regensburg and Straubing .
