history

The Bogenberg

Until the 19th century

Bogen is first mentioned under the name Villa Pogana around the middle of the 8th century. Initially, the Babenbergs were the owners of the county rights here. Then it was the seat of the Counts of Bogen , whose white and blue diamond coat of arms is now part of the Bavarian state coat of arms . As early as 1220, Bogen was known as a "forum" (market).

After the death of the last count of Bogen, their territory fell to the Wittelsbach family in 1242 . In 1341, Bogen received market rights . In the 15th century, Bogen experienced a heyday in connection with the Bogenberg pilgrimage. In the Thirty Years' War the market suffered a considerable loss of population. The important pilgrimage to the Bogenberg pilgrimage church once again provided an upswing for the whole town .

Bogen belonged to the Straubing Rent Office and the Mitterfels Regional Court in the Electorate of Bavaria . It had a market court with its own magistrate rights. The Oberalteich monastery had an open court market here . Fires devastated the place in 1719 and 1837.

In 1839, Bogen became the seat of a regional court . In 1860 the market had 1,350 inhabitants and no fewer than twelve breweries. From 1862, Bogen continued to gain importance because the district office and the notary's office were separated from the regional court as separate authorities. A little later, the legal part of the regional court became the Royal Bavarian District Court . On December 9, 1895, Bogen received a railway connection with the completion of the first section of the Straubing – Miltach railway line .

20th century

The city elevation of Bogen took place in 1952. With the construction of the Graf-Aswin barracks in 1958, a grammar school, secondary school and eight industrial companies as well as incorporations, the size and importance of Bogen increased significantly after the Second World War.

Due to the integration of the district of Bogen into the district of Straubing-Bogen on July 1, 1972, a large part of the administrative functions in the city was lost.

21st century

In 2012, the Europa Park Bayern-Böhmen recreational park was inaugurated.
