geography

The Affecking district is located on the Danube in the south-eastern part of the city. The border between the city of Kelheim and the former municipality of Affecking is located along today's Georg-Kerschensteiner-Strasse west of the Hohenpfahl primary school, which belongs to the Affecking district. The district or former municipal boundary then leads up into the forest, bends a short distance westwards towards the forest cemetery, and then crosses the Regensburg – Ingolstadt railway in the Hopfenbachtal . In the south, the border runs eastward south of the railway line. Its opposite is the district of Thaldorf. Behind the new Kelheim / Saal recycling center, the district boundary meets the municipality of Saal / Danube, and then turns along the B 16 to the port area in the Grenzstraße and then crosses the Danube east of the port basin. On the north bank of the Danube, just before the village of Kelheimwinzer , the border runs westwards to cross the Danube again at Kelheim Höhe Donaumühle. The border runs along Regensburger Straße to the confluence with Affeckinger Straße, then southwards again to the starting point at Georg-Kerschensteiner-Straße.

Hohenpfahl , which is often incorrectly referred to as the district of Kelheim, is just a field name, the area of ​​which is interpreted many times. Until the post-war years, the houses around the so-called Schnellkurve, in the area of ​​the municipality of Affecking, were called Hohenpfahl, as there were no houses apart from the aforementioned Schnellkurve from the current Europabrücke to the Danube Park. Housing development in this area was only started after the Second World War . In the 1970s, when there was a complete residential and commercial development on Regensburger Straße, there was a free area along Affeckinger Straße from the so-called tomato house on the Affeckinger side and today's bank building and thus the border between Affecking and Hohenpfahl, perceived by the citizens . Since this area is now built on, the name Hohenpfahl is no longer clear. There is no clearly defined "border" between Affecking and Hohenpfahl, since the latter is just a field name. So there is no border between Hohenpfahl and Kelheim.

history

Affecking was first mentioned in a document in 878 under the name Vekkinga . The name Vekkinga refers to the entire “Feckinger area” from Affecking to Mitter- or Oberfecking. Affecking itself probably comes from the name Auekkingen, Au stands for the part located on the water. The old German word Ache or Oche for river was the inspiration for this, as, for example, in the parlance of long-established and older citizens Affecking is pronounced as “Ofegging”. The Roman term "Ad Focuum", which means for the kiln, is also often interpreted as the origin of the name, but this is not certain, although bricks were burned in the Affeckingen area in earlier times. In the Middle Ages the spelling “Aveking” prevailed, until the end of the 19th century “Affeking” was written. In the village on the Danube west of the old parish church Heilig-Kreuz, Affecking Castle stood until 1820, of which two copper engravings by Michael Wenning exist. Gentlemen on the Hofmark Affecking were, among others, the knight Wilhelm von Raidenbuch, the Ecker von Eck, the Judmanns and Hans Adam von Königsfeld zu Affecking. The current Kelheim district used to be an independent municipality, which was incorporated on October 1, 1937 when the company Süddeutsche Zellwolle (now Kelheim Fibers) settled.

economy

Affecking is an economically important district of Kelheim. In addition to the freight port, the companies Kelheim Fibers , Gimborn, Chemie Kelheim GmbH and E. H. Harms as well as the Frischisen brewery are located in the Affeckingen district. Chemie Kelheim GmbH was founded in 1937 as a plant of Süd-Chemie AG with headquarters in Munich. Sulfuric acid , oleum and fertilizers were produced in the Kelheim plant. In 1998, the sulfuric acid and oleum production was taken over by PVS Chemicals from the USA. The cat litter production, which began operating in 1989, ran under the umbrella of Süd-Chemie AG until 2002, when it was taken over by H. von Gimborn. In 2008, PVS sold sulfuric acid production to the two companies TIB in Mannheim and Solvadis in Frankfurt and has been operating under the name Chemie Kelheim GmbH since then.

traffic

Affecking is located directly on Bundesstraße 16 and on the Danube not far from the Kelheim-Saal port. From 1875 to 1988 Affecking had a direct rail connection to Kelheim and Regensburg with the Saal – Kelheim line . The stop was located directly in the building of the current rifle shelter on Affeckinger Strasse. In the course book of the railway, the breakpoint is still referred to as Affecking in 1938 and as Kelheim Ost from 1944 to 1988.

Culture, events and clubs

Churches

  • Holy Cross Church , catholic, with kindergarten
  • Markuskirche , Protestant, with kindergarten
  • Old Church of the Holy Cross , catholic, with an old cemetery. Originally castle chapel from Affecking Castle, which was demolished around 1820. Was built in its present form in the 18th century. Until the completion of the new Church of the Holy Cross in 1939, it served as the parish church of the Affecking parish, which has been independent since 1499.

SC Kelheim

The club existed until 1950 under the name ASV Kelheim-Ost. In order to avoid confusion problems with ASV Kelheim, the meeting decided on January 18, 1950 to rename it to "Sport-Club-Kelheim-Ost". Just two years later, for sporting and financial reasons, the TSV 1871 Kelheim merged and the club was given the name "SC 1871 Kelheim". The merger of these two clubs was then reversed in May 1954 and on May 26, 1954 the "Sport-Club-Kelheim" was founded again as an independent club. In 1961, winning the Lower Bavarian Cup was the greatest success in the club's history. Then the SC played in the first main round of the DFB Cup against the upper division (at that time the 1st division) SpVgg Fürth and lost with 0: 1.

Shooting Society Kelheim-Affecking

In 1922, some Affecking citizens came to the Sixt inn to found a rifle club in Affecking. During the Second World War, the club life came to a complete standstill. In 1952, former members met again to revitalize the club. The membership was 27 men, women were not yet admitted. In 1956 the flag was consecrated. From 1969 women were accepted into society. In the course of the following years, the number of members continued to grow, so that they looked around for their own shooting club. The Affeckingen station building was converted into a rifle shelter and inaugurated in 1976. In 1997 the 75th anniversary celebration took place.

Kelheim-Affecking settlement association

The Affecking settlement association was founded in 1937 as part of the establishment of the Süddeutsche Zellwolle AG synthetic fiber factory (now Kelheim Fibers) and the establishment of the factory settlement on the westward sloping Affeckinger Berg as the Kelheim-Ost settlement association. In 1987 the 50th anniversary celebration took place, in the 1990s the association got its current name.
