Location of the city of Deggendorf in the district of Deggendorf

Deggendorf is a large district town in the Lower Bavarian district of Deggendorf . The university town with around 37,000 inhabitants (as of January 1, 2020) is also known as the Danube town and "gateway to the Bavarian Forest" due to its location in the Danube Valley , in the south at the confluence of the Isar and the Danube and at the foot of the Bavarian Forest . It is fused at two points with the neighboring town of Plattling in a so-called interwoven area and together with the towns of Plattling and Osterhofen forms the regional center of Deggendorf. The Bavarian State Garden Show took place in Deggendorf in 2014 .

geography

Panorama towards the Danube on parts of Deggendorf

The urban area lies on the one hand in the flat Danube Valley, but extends to the left of the Danube also into the foothills of the Bavarian Forest. Deggendorf is located with its districts to the right of the Danube in the Gäuboden region and the districts to the left of the Danube in the Bavarian Forest Nature Park . The city is traversed by the Danube; in the Fischerdorf district , the Isar flows into the Danube on the city limits between Deggendorf and the neighboring municipality of Moos in the urban area. The southwestern starting point of the Böhmweg , an important old trade route that connected the Bavarian Danube through the Bavarian Forest with Bohemia , was in Deggendorf . In addition, Deggendorf was on the Roman military border Danube Limes along the Bavarian Danube. Today's city center is north-east of the Danube. The difference in altitude in the municipality is 806 meters from the lowest point on the Danube in the Seebach district (310  m above sea level ) to the highest point, the summit of the local mountain " Breitenauriegel " near the Greising district (1116 m above sea level). This leads to considerable climatic differences; While spring has often already set in in the lower elevations, in the inhabited heights such as Greising at 780 m above sea level it prevails  . NHN still winter. Another “ local mountain ” of Deggendorf is the three- fir tree bar located in the Grafling municipality with a height of 1090.2 m above sea level. NHN.

history

Traces of early history

The oldest proven finds in the Deggendorf area come from Palaeolithic and Mesolithic hunters and collectors and are at least 50,000 years old. Archaeologists assume that on and around the Natternberg in today's district of the same name as early as 5000 BC. . BC a Neolithic settlement of Linear Pottery was similar as in many other parts of Lower Bavaria and especially in Gäuboden by aerial archeology and burial sites could be detected. In the middle and younger section of the Urnfield Period between the 10th and 8th centuries BC Chr. Was a permanent settlement focus of a hilltop settlement on the approximately 70 meter high mountain , this could be proven by excavations of settlement remains during the construction of the federal highway 3 . Archaeological excavations have documented settlements from the Neolithic Age (at least 5th century BC), the older Urnfield Age (10th century BC) and the late Hallstatt period (6th – 5th century BC). Traces of settlement around 6000 years old have also been found in today's Fischerdorf district. In the early 1980s, excavations in the parish church at the site of today's city center discovered Celtic settlement remains, which date back to the late Latene period in the 2nd to 1st century BC. Could be dated. It is assumed that the Celts used the convenient location for crossing the Danube to control the trade route from the south to Bohemia, first mentioned in 1029.

Gold panning has existed since the 9th century . a. later in urban area Deggendorf on the Danube, where a very early stage of sand and gravel banks of placer gold was sought. Search locations on the Isar in the Deggendorf area were added later. Today this is still pursued as a hobby by gold panners.

Deggendorf founded

Deggendorf grave church

1000 years Deggendorf: German postage stamp from 2002

Deggendorf is mentioned for the first time in a document issued on November 20, 1002 by King Heinrich II for the Niedermünster monastery in Regensburg .

Deggendorf was founded on a natural Danube crossing that continued the road along the Isar to the north. For the ruling genders in Bavaria that was always a reason to be present here. Called Techindorf in the 11th century , it appeared as a city as early as 1212.

middle Ages

With the extinction of the Babenbergs and the Counts of Bogen (1242), the Wittelsbachers took possession of the former county of Deggendorf. The city was reorganized and planned. A wooden bridge over the Danube near Deggendorf was first mentioned in 1280, making it one of the first bridges over the Danube. Deggendorf was promoted with privileges and concessions until it was granted town charter in 1316 and 1320 , thus completing the process of becoming town constitutionally. Deggendorf had thus become a magnet for the market and trade in the surrounding area. Under Duke Heinrich XV. Deggendorf was briefly the seat of the independent duchy of Lower Bavaria -Deggendorf (1331-1332), which, in addition to the capital, included the towns of Cham , Dingolfing , Landau and Vilshofen . He was given the nickname "the Natternberger", because he stayed mainly in Natternberg near Deggendorf at the castle of the same name. In 1338 the Jewish community in Deggendorf was completely destroyed in the course of a pogrom . The alleged miracle, which is said to have followed the desecration of the host accused of the burned Jews , founded the pilgrimage to the grave church , the so-called Deggendorfer Gnad , which took place until 1992 . The grave church was built shortly after the pogrom. Processions and events took place in Deggendorf until 1968 that glorified the murder of Jews at the time. In 1429 Deggendorf became part of the Duchy of Bavaria-Munich, and in 1496 the city's first pharmacy opened.

In the 16th century, Deggendorf was home to one of the 16 tollbooths of the Bavarian Duke on the Danube between Neuburg and Passau.

small sample vineyard in the city forest for the history of Baierwein

From the 13th century, today's Deggenau district was one of many wine-growing areas in the Danube Valley. On the vineyards, the Mühlberg and the Geiersberg, wine was grown on the mountain slopes for almost 400 years. This was the "Baierwein". The first documented evidence of a vineyard in today's urban area dates from 1149 and documents a vineyard on the Mühlberg in Deggendorf.

Early modern age

The Thirty Years War brought heavy population losses. Two thirds of the population died of the plague in 1633/34 . During the War of the Spanish Succession , parts of the city were set on fire and destroyed. Although these events left their mark for decades, Deggendorf quickly rose as a functioning city with the help of the resources of the surrounding area. A baroque symbol of the urban self-confidence that has grown out of it was set with the construction of the Grabkirche tower in 1722, which is described by art historians as one of the most beautiful towers in Bavaria and gives the town square its unmistakable character. During the Austrian War of Succession , almost the entire city burned down in 1743.

19th century

In the 19th century, various new transport connections such as the Ruselstraße (1818) and the railway line across the Danube into the Bavarian Forest (1877) were created and put into operation. The wooden bridge over the Danube was replaced in 1863 by a sturdy iron crossing and roads were built to develop the surrounding area. The medieval cityscape disappeared as the moats were filled in, the city gates and city walls were torn down. The city center, which is over 500 years old, has been changed and softened. Today only the city's layout can be seen, a 27 m long piece of the city wall has been preserved. From 1898 to 1908 the construction of the first cargo port (today's winter and protective port) was implemented.

20th century

It was not until the 20th century that Deggendorf experienced a decisive increase in area and population through the incorporation of neighboring villages. The neighboring community of Schaching was incorporated in 1935, and Deggenau, Fischerdorf, Mietraching with Greising, Seebach and Natternberg followed between 1972 and 1978. From 1948 to 1972 Deggendorf was an independent city.

The Mainkofen District Hospital , at that time as a sanatorium and nursing home in Mainkofen, was opened in 1911 in today's Natternberg district. Today, with around 720 beds, it is one of two large clinics in the city and one of the largest district clinics in Bavaria.

During the Nazi era , the city received a garrison , and from 1935 the Riga barracks was built for the 85th Infantry Regiment of the Wehrmacht .

The first Allied bombs fell on Deggendorf on February 5, 1945, and after only around 5 weeks to March 14, a total of 300 air raid alarms had already been counted. After numerous heavy air raids on the large neighboring railway junction station in Plattling, the port of Deggendorf and the Sirius works were largely destroyed in two bomb attacks on the oil depots on April 20 and 24, 1945.

After the end of the Second World War , a DP camp for Jewish so-called " displaced persons " was set up in Deggendorf in 1945 . It housed up to 2000 residents and was disbanded in June 1949. The members of this Jewish community who died in Deggendorf during this period rest in a small, closed Jewish cemetery on the site of the largest Deggendorf cemetery.

The last of the three US military facilities set up in the city after the war was dissolved in 1957.

From July 1st, 1972 Deggendorf becomes a district town again . After Deggendorf had already lost its district freedom for 8 years from 1940 to 1948, after the Second World War it was again an independent city from 1948 to 1972 .

In memory of those victims of National Socialism who lived in Deggendorf, the German artist Gunter Demnig laid stumbling blocks in the city on October 2, 2012 .

In the years since the Second World War, the Deggendorf settlement area expanded considerably. The hills near the old town were almost completely built up. The Deggendorf Clinic, which can be seen from afar and now has 502 beds , has been a kind of new landmark for the city .

21st century

From 1985 to 2013 the city on the Geiersberg commemorated the victims of the world wars . After it became known in the spring of 2013 that there were also memorial plaques for members of the SS on the area known as Heldenhain , the city had them removed. Since then, the site has been used on commemorative days under the name "Fallen Grove".

At the beginning of June 2013 Deggendorf was hit by a devastating flood . More than 6000 people had to be evacuated or were asked to leave their homes because the dams that had been built could no longer withstand the masses of water. Low-lying districts such as Fischerdorf and Natternberg were completely flooded after the Isar dam broke. Further heavy floods in the Deggendorf area were recorded in the old chronicle of the city in 1787, 1816, 1845, 1876, 1920, 1924, 1926 and 1954.

After the flood in 2013, the flood protection in the city and in the Deggendorf area on the Isar and Danube was completely revised and renewed in order to withstand even a hundred-year flood.

Shipbuilding history and shipping

River transport since the 1st century

• Roman time

In the 400 years of the Rhaetian Danube Limes from the 1st to the 5th century, Roman ships in particular were on the Danube in Deggendorf and linked troop locations such as Regensburg and Straubing with the other cities and legionary camps along the Danube to the Black Sea. The types of ships on the Upper Danube differed over time, depending on the requirements they had to meet. There were small, agile 18-meter-long rowing warships of the Navis Lusoria type , but also larger warships and cargo ships with a length of up to 40 meters are said to have been on the Rhine and Danube, which were also operated with rowing crews. A small warship version of the Liburne type ( Classis Germanica ) was also used in different lengths on the Danube during this time and, like the Navis Lusoria ship type , had a sail in addition to being propelled by a rowing crew.

• Use of rafts

From the 13th to the 19th century, rafts from the Isar were also used to transport goods and people from Munich and Landshut, which went either to Deggendorf or via Deggendorf on the Danube towards Austria and Hungary.

Deggendorf shipyards

Since 1885, paddle steamers and later motor ships for the Danube were built in a shipyard in Deggendorf. From 1946 to the 1970s, there were two shipyards and a shipping company in the city, with the oldest and last remaining shipyard ceasing to operate in 2001.

• From Übigau to Hitzler to DWE

As early as 1885, the engineering works and shipyard Übigau from Dresden manufactured ships for the Danube with final assembly exclusively in Deggendorf, until the assembly was largely relocated to Regensburg in 1913. In order to increase the number of German shipping companies on the Danube, the Reich's own Zentral -kauf GmbH bought a large number of screw steamers in 1915 and had them (originally planned in Regensburg) assembled by the Hamburg-based Hitzler shipyard in Deggendorf from February 1916. In addition to the assembly site, the Hitzler shipyard acquired some adjacent properties and built a temporary shipyard there, which later became DWE Deggendorfer Werft und Eisenbau Gesellschaft . In November 1918 the outcome of the First World War temporarily ended ship production and at the end of 1918 Hitzler sold his Deggendorf shipyard to Bayerische Lloyd Schifffahrts AG, which ultimately sold it to Gutehoffnungshütte AG in 1924. Also in 1924, the shipyard resumed production as a subsidiary of Gutehoffnungshütte AG under the name DWE Deggendorfer Werft und Eisenbau Gesellschaft.

Another shipbuilding site (assembly site) was created in 1892 by the Süddeutsche Donaudampfschifffahrtsgesellschaft below the railway bridge. In the years that followed, dredgers and crane ships as well as tugs and steamers were assembled here.

• New developments in shipbuilding

In 1930, with the Stoßtreidler UHU in Deggendorf one of the first motor thrust ships in Europe with a Voith Schneider Propeller built. After the production focus on tank barges in the 1940s, the first seaworthy hopper dredger ( floating dredger ) was built in Deggendorf in 1951 , after which these were integrated into the product range. The operational sequence of a dredger led to considerations of simplified dumping and in 1958 to the construction of the first top-up barge. In the 1960s and 1970s, the construction of dredgers and collapsible barges were a world-famous specialty of the Deggendorf shipyard and were delivered all over the world. Another novelty was the two divisible inland RoRo semi-catamarans Han Asparuh and Han Tervel . After the shipyard had built the then largest river cruise ship in the world with the name Mozart as a semi-catamaran in 1987, in 1998 the Delphin Queen was the first and only river cruise catamaran in the world. The hundreds of ships that have been built in Deggendorf for more than a century include old steamers as well as tank barges, cargo and push boats of various designs, passenger and excursion ships for rivers and lakes, small ferries, dredgers, authority boats, barges and collapsible barges. Many of these ships are still in use today or occasionally also serve as museum ships.

Since the takeover of Gutehoffnungshütte AG by MAN in 1969, the shipyard has belonged to MAN. Since 2001 the shipyard operations and thus shipbuilding have been given up. The former shipyard has been called MAN Diesel & Turbo SE, later MAN Energy Solutions, since January 1, 2010 .

• Two shipyards from 1946 to the 1970s

In 1946 the Wallner shipyard was opened in Deggendorf. It was part of the Bavarian Wallner Hafenbetriebe in Deggendorf, founded in 1920, with its own shipping company, and began operations after the Second World War with the dismantling of components for Danube ships and their transport to the Rhine. The Wallner Hafenbetriebe were located in the area of ​​today's freight port, leased in 1923 and acquired in 1938, and were its beginnings. Later on, the Wallner shipyard also built its own motor tugs such as the MZS Helene in 1951 .

Deggendorf shipowner

Shipping traffic on the Danube has played an important role in Deggendorf since the Middle Ages. In the still existing Passau toll registers from around 1400, many entries by Deggendorf merchants and ship owners are already recorded. The most famous and largest Deggendorf river shipping company in modern times was the Wallner shipping company owned by Josef Wallner.

• Wallner shipping company

The Wallner shipping company era began in 1927 through a collaboration with the Romanian company Creditul Minier and a long-term freight contract. The first ship of the (DRMT) German-Romanian Tankschifffahrts GmbH was named Deggendorf . In 1971 the family company withdrew from shipping on the Danube. A historical peculiarity is the motorized towing ship Anna Wallner of the shipping company Wallner, also belonging to Wallner Hafenbetriebe , which was completed on April 11, 1942 in the Deggendorfer Werft . After the reconstruction in the naval equipment station in Linz, the ship was put back into service on April 7, 1944 under the name Balmung as one of only 4 armed guard ships for the lower Danube and the Iron Gate. On June 22, 1946, the Balmung , which had been badly damaged by a British ground mine on September 11, 1944 and was unusable, was handed over by the US Army in Deggendorf to Bayerischer Lloyd for further processing. Many of the shipping company's ships were built in Deggendorf, Korneuburg and Linz and comprised a large number of tank barges, motor cargo ships and tugs.

Sister cities and sponsorships

The twin town of Deggendorf has been Neusiedl am See , Austria , since 1978 .

On November 24th, 2008 a friendship agreement was signed with Písek , Czech Republic . Since June 10, 2012, Písek has also been the twin town of Deggendorf.

Furthermore, since 2003 there has been a sponsorship for the detached Technical Train 133 (special unit of the air force that looks after the radar system on the Großer Arber ).

For Tender "Danube" Deggendorf took over the sponsorship from 1964 until its decommissioning on 1 December 1994th

Name bearer

The Lufthansa Airbus A320-211 with the registration D-AIPF bears the name "Deggendorf".

Several ships of different types have been named after the city and some of them have even been built on site. Currently, the inland push ship Deggendorf, registered in Austria, is still mainly on the lower Danube as the name of the city.

The Deggendorf steam train from 1927, which is now fully restored and located in the Bayerisch Eisenstein Local Railway Museum , also bears the name of the city and was used in its final years until 1975 on the Deggendorf-Metten short line, which was closed in 1991.

Political Ash Wednesday

The Free Voters have held their Political Ash Wednesday every year since 2009 with up to 1500 visitors in the town hall.

Referendum

• Initiative to preserve the outdoor pool in the city park:
  The first referendum took place on March 26, 2000. The citizens' initiative demanded the maintenance of the central open-air swimming pool in Deggendorf's city park. On the other hand, the city of Deggendorf requested the closure of the previous outdoor pool and the construction of a new year-round pool with indoor and outdoor pools as well as various adventure facilities in the Natternberg district . In the vote, the initiative's request received 18.61%, the council request 16.92% of the votes of all eligible voters. Both requests therefore missed the necessary quorum of 20% of the votes of all eligible voters. On April 18, 2000, the Deggendorf city council decided to dissolve the previous outdoor pool and to build a new year-round pool.
• Initiative for height limitation in the development plan "Die Bogen":
  The second referendum in the city of Deggendorf was against an office high-rise (" Karl Tower ") belonging to the Karl group of companies with a height of 36 m near the southern edge of the historic old town. According to the initiative, the permissible wall height should be limited to a maximum of 22 m through the citizens' initiative. On October 20, 2014, almost the entire city council voted within the framework of a development plan for the high-rise. As of December 3, 2014, three city councilors of the Free Voters began collecting signatures for a petition to prevent the high-rise building.

Awards

In 2015 Deggendorf was awarded the Bavarian Quality Prize 2015 for its economic friendliness. A year earlier, the city had already been awarded Bavaria's “ Municipality of the Year ” at the “ Grand Prize for Medium-Sized Enterprises ”.

Tourist location and tourism

From a touristic point of view, Deggendorf is one of the Bavarian pleasure places at the interface of the two East Bavarian tourism regions "Bavarian Golf and Thermenland" to the west, which extends over large parts of the Gäuboden, and "Bavarian Forest" to the east, which are separated by the Danube as a rough border . The city itself is included in this due to its location on the front Bavarian Forest and is also considered to be the gateway to the Bavarian Forest due to its motorway junction and several main access roads. There is a modern “Tourist Information” in the old town hall as a direct point of contact.

In 2017, according to municipal statistics, the city itself had around 87,000 overnight guests in accommodation establishments with ten or more guest beds, whereby the numerous inner-city events, as well as the infrastructure and the convenient location of the city as a starting point for short excursions into the region, play a key role for tourism .

The floodplain landscapes of the Isar estuary, which are also becoming more and more popular for tourists, are shared by the town of Deggendorf with the neighboring town of Plattling and the neighboring municipality of Moos with the associated information center over a length of approx. 18 km to the mouth. The Fischerdorf district lies on the Danube and Isar and includes part of the protected Isar floodplains. The area is home to hundreds of species of fish, amphibians, plants and birds, some of which are protected.

Beaches of the free flowing Danube on the outskirts of Deggendorf

In 2015, the Bavarian part of the Danube Limes was included in the German list of proposals for the Unesco World Heritage Site. On February 1, 2018, the 2,300-page application for nomination of the transnational Danube Limes as a UNESCO World Heritage Site by Hungary was submitted to UNESCO in Paris. Due to a unilateral and too short-term amendment of the application by Hungary, this very promising application was ultimately no longer considered for the 2019 decision. In addition to Bavaria as a Danube riparian, the Danube countries Austria, Slovakia and Hungary also participate. After a clarifying discussion with the partner countries, the Bavarian representatives want to resubmit a revised application at the next opportunity.

The Danube beaches from Deggendorf upstream to Mariaposching and downstream to Hofkirchen are among the most beautiful bank sections of the Bavarian Danube, which in addition to the 93.5 km of river freedom without Danube locks also contributed to the decision for the application to UNESCO.

Location at the Bavarian Forest

In addition to numerous events and excursion boats, as well as cycling and hiking trails, the water sports facilities in particular have a great attraction for tourists and day visitors on warm summer days. In addition to the bathing lakes and the year-round pool, there are other bathing areas on the Danube and Isar. Especially with large rivers like Danube and Isar, the prevailing current should not be underestimated and unnecessary risks should be avoided. Because of the large barrier-free section of the Danube without locks and with a relatively large amount of legal freedom compared to other waterways, the number of visitors with their own jet skis or boats of all kinds is increasing. Paddling and other non-motorized water sports on the Isar are also becoming increasingly popular. In winter the town offers not only a ski lift in the district of Greising, but also entry possibilities into the cross-country skiing area (Deggendorf - Rusel - Bischofsmais) extending over 10 trails and 90 km from the Rusel and Greising.

In addition to the possibilities of the categories “ leisure ” and “ cultural life ”, a daily weekly market (weekdays), a weekly farmers market (Saturdays) and in summer at least two large flea markets per week, Deggendorf traditionally also holds four large goods markets every year (fasting market, May market , September market, autumn market) in the city center.

The central construction office of the Munich-based RMD Wasserstrassen GmbH for the coordination of regional construction projects on the Bavarian Danube in the areas of Danube expansion and flood protection is located in the port of Deggendorf.

Due to its dimensions, the Deggendorf protective harbor is planned next to the Marina Saal near Kelheim, also for an intermediate stop at boat and yacht transfers, or simply as a night berth.

The Deggendorf freight port is located on the Danube between river kilometer 2282.4 and river kilometer 2283.9. The port is around 1220 kilometers from the North Sea (Rotterdam) and around 2282 kilometers from the Black Sea (via the Sulina-Danube estuary) by water on the 3504 kilometer Rhine-Main-Danube axis. If the 64.2 km long Danube-Black Sea Canal is used, the distance into the Black Sea (Port of Constana) is reduced to around 2030 river kilometers.

Excursion boat trip from the Danube promenade

There are also several moorings for passenger ships on the river. One is mainly used by the company Wurm & Noé for the excursion boat trip, another is u. a. operated by Uniworld River Cruises, Avalon Waterways and Viking River Cruises for river cruises. Viking has built its own additional mooring facility since 2019.

The city has two sport boat harbors, one is in the Deggendorf protective harbor, and there is another in Metten with its own slipway. They accommodate 5 Danube yacht clubs with a total of approx. 80 - 85 regular berths. The nearest slipway with service to the protective harbor is on the edge of the Danube promenade. As further boat clubs, two sailing clubs with a jetty and some berths have settled on the Burgsee in Deggendorf. All boat license can be obtained in the city.

In 2017, plans for the construction of a new marina at a more central location and the associated relocation of the larger pleasure boat harbor currently in the protective harbor became known.

Old town

City parish church of the Assumption

The old town of Deggendorf is a planned city from the High Middle Ages , laid out in 1242 by the Wittelsbach family .

Town square

How many Bavarian town foundations that time is they had gone through the whole length of a spacious square, a anger-like wide street market. Here it extends in north-south direction and thus at an angle of about 60 ° to the Danube flowing past 400 m to the south.

The town hall built north of the most important cross street in the middle of the square and the grave church of St. Peter and Paul protruding from the east divide the square into three differently sized parts, the upper town square in the north, the almost twice as long Luitpoldplatz in the middle and the much smaller ones Michael-Fischer-Platz in the south.

The small square is named after the master builder Johann Michael Fischer , who built several churches in the Rococo style , including in the area of ​​today's Deggendorf district .

Old Town Hall

The late Gothic town hall consists of three parts. The south wing with the stepped gable was built in 1535 as the town hall, the striking tower in the middle as early as 1450. The narrower north wing is the former Martinskirche and was only converted into an official building in 1888. It was not until 1907 that the historic ballroom in the south wing was given its current equipment.

City parish church

The parish church of the Assumption is located south of the old town. The first church on this site was founded in the early Middle Ages, long before the city. After previous Romanesque and Gothic buildings , today's church was built in several phases from 1656/57 to the 19th century.

Horse market and Katharinenspital

Half the way from the outskirts of the planned town to the parish church is the long, triangular horse market, bounded to the south by the archway at Katharinenspital .
