history

Advance and early development

The first settlements date from the Middle and Neolithic (8000 to 1800 BC). This is evidenced by finds near Attenfeld, where settlement pits, ceramics, a stone ax and shards were uncovered. Excavations from 1949 show that there was also a settlement in Bergheim during the Neolithic Age (4000 to 2000 BC). A stool grave and settlement pits from the Early Bronze Age (1800 to 1600 BC ) were uncovered at the "Geißbuck" ( quarry ).

Bergheim community

The current community was formed by the merger of the three formerly independent communities Attenfeld (with Igstetter Hof), Bergheim (with Hennenweidach ) and Unterstall (with Straßwirt) on May 1, 1978.

Administrative community Neuburg an der Donau

The administrative community based in Neuburg an der Donau consists of the communities Bergheim and Rohrenfels . With the establishment of this administrative community on May 1, 1978, the political independence could be maintained, since both communities did not reach the required minimum size of 1,800 inhabitants per community. Initially, the administrative community also included the communities of Oberhausen and Weichering , which were dismissed at their request and set up their own administrations.

Bergheim

Bergheim, the largest in the community, was first mentioned in a document around 1182/1195, due to the consecration of the church by Bishop Otto von Eichstätt .

The place name comes from the name “Perkhaimb”, which should mean “home on the mountain”. However, on the one hand the village is really located on a few small hills - which already indicate the slight rise of the Jura region up to the north, on the other hand it is located directly on the Danube , and thus borders directly on the large plain of the Donaumooses .

Bergheim has always belonged to the nearby town of Neuburg on the Danube and thus shared the fate of the Palatinate-Neuburg regional bailiff for centuries .

From the modern history of the place it should be noted that a permanent post bus connection between Ingolstadt - Gerolfing - Dünzlau - Irgertsheim- Bergheim was set up as early as 1899 , which had its entry point in the post office of the Speth brewery .

In 1922 and over the following years, the farms in Bergheim were connected to electricity. The connection to the sewer system was carried out between 1971 and 1974, during which the roads were also completely expanded.

Under stall

The place lies in a depression, is surrounded on three sides by the Jura foothills and is bordered in the southeast by the Danube . There are two versions of the origin of the place name, one of which derives Unterstall from "Unterer Burgstall", the other version says that the name is derived from the Germanic word "stal", which means "lower dwelling" and as an explanation is also more likely. Unterstall is first mentioned in a document in 1179 as the property of the Eichstätter cathedral chapter.

Attenfeld

Attenfeld is the smallest part of the municipality, surrounded on three sides by forests, idyllically situated in the gentle hills and foothills of the Franconian Jura. There are two versions of the origin of the name Attenfeld, one of which derives the name from "Odinsfeld", i.e. the field of Odin, the other version from "Attafeld", the father field. Which is ultimately correct is unlikely to be proven. Attenfeld was first mentioned under the name Attenvelt in the land register of Marshal von Pappenheim in 1214.

Population development

Between 1988 and 2018 the community grew from 1,535 to 1,877 by 342 inhabitants or 22.3%.
