Ast is a district of the municipality of Tiefenbach in the south-western district of Landshut ( Lower Bavaria ).

location

The village is located about seven kilometers southwest of Landshut between the places Tiefenbach and Vilsheim . The Straßerbach, a source brook of the Isar, runs to the east .

history

The place was originally two villages Oberast and sub-branch . Oberast is first mentioned as Ouuista towards the end of the 9th century . A De Ouste family is often mentioned as a witness in the 11th to 13th centuries. The properties came to various monasteries after the family died out. In the 16th century, Ambrosius Plank from Münchsdorf bought the scattered property of the Holy Cross Monastery and the St. Martin Abbey in Landshut and built his own manor with Ast Castle. Unterast was in 1811 a hamlet about 500 meters northeast .

In the 1960s the two villages grew together, between 1950 and 1973 they were combined to form the town of Ast. At that time the municipality of Ast consisted of the following districts:

Badhaus branch Gleißenbach Gutersdorf Heidenkam Upper branch Oberbachham

Head Frogham Schießeneck Siegersdorf Steffing Thalham Lower branch

Unterbachham Undergolding Pond houses Zacherlmühle Zottenberg

As part of the municipal reform , Ast joined forces with Tiefenbach on April 1, 1971 to form the newly formed municipality of Tiefenbach. The municipal coat of arms of Ast was adopted as the new municipal coat of arms.
