Breitenhausen is a district of the Mariaposching municipality in the Straubing-Bogen district in Lower Bavaria .

location

The parish village of Breitenhausen is located in the Gäuboden north of the Danube about five kilometers northeast of Mariaposching and about two kilometers northwest of Offenberg near the federal highway 3 .

history

The place was previously called Rauberrain (rough Rain), originally the name of a landscape in which there were a few scattered houses. When the community was formed in 1818/1821, the area first came to the Niederwinkling community and not until 1826 to the Mariaposching rural community .

In 1866, the villagers of Rauberrain applied for their settlement to be renamed, as the residents of the neighboring towns ridiculed it as "robberrain". After several letters of petition, they finally got the approval of the new place name Breitenhausen by King Ludwig II on the holy evening of 1877 .

A chapel built in 1853 was the religious center of the village for a long time. In 1952 the church building association built the current branch church of the parish of Oberwinkling. In 1987 Breitenhausen had 155 inhabitants.
