history
Middle Ages and Early Modern Times
A first piece of information from Denkendorf (Denchendorf, village of Thanko) can be found in the Pontifical Gundekarianum : Between 1057 and 1075, the Eichstatt Bishop Gundekar II consecrated a church here. In the 12th and 13th centuries, the clan of the Denkendorf ministers are proven to be local nobles . In 1140 Gottfried and Heinrich von Denkendorf testify to a donation to the Benedictine monastery in Plankstetten ; In 1209 Heinrich von Denkendorf, Ministeriale des Graf von Hirschberg , sold the monastery an estate in Muttenhofen . The seat of this noble family can no longer be determined.
In the dispute over the Hirschberg inheritance after its extinction in 1305 with Count Gebhard VII, the place was awarded to the Hochstift Eichstätt . The bishop gave the property to aristocrats as a fief , such as the Simbacher , the Zanter and the Töginger . The Hirschberger Salbuch from 1644 and 1741 consistently show three larger farms and several smaller ones as episcopal, inhabited and managed by a total of 36 episcopal subjects. Also the Erbtaferne , the bath room and a Hube (Low German Hufe ) with wood justice in the Köschinger Forest were episcopal fiefdoms. In 1473 a property belonging to the Arnsberg family in Denkendorf came to the bishop. In addition to the bishopric, the Eichstätt Benedictine convent of St. Walburg had owned the Meierhof since 1320 . In the 17th century, other properties belonged to the Church of St. Salvator in Dietfurt , an unspecified benefice in Eichstätt and the Duke of Bavaria. In addition, there was not inconsiderable peasant ownership at that time. In 1644 seven farms were deserted as a result of the Thirty Years' War .
With the lower bishopric, Denkendorf belonged to the Oberamt Hirschberg-Beilngries and to the episcopal caste office Beilngries . The place was the seat of its own marriage custody , to which Dörndorf and Bitz also belonged. We first heard of a school in Denkendorf in the early 17th century (1608).
At the end of the 18th century there were around 50 households in Denkendorf.
19th and 20th centuries
As a result of the secularization (1803) Denkendorf came to the Grand Duke Archduke Ferdinand III. from Salzburg-Tuscany and 1806 to the Kingdom of Bavaria . In 1808, the Denkendorf tax district in the Kipfenberg district court was formed from Denkendorf and Dunsdorf . In 1818 both places were again independent communities.
In 1830 the newly combined tax district included Denkendorf, Altenberg and Gut Riedelshof. At that time, Denkendorf consisted of 59 households with 320 inhabitants. From 1935 to 1938 the Reichsautobahn was built through the Denkendorfer Flur. In 1945 land consolidation was carried out. In 1950 there were 121 households with 762 inhabitants.
During the territorial reform in 1972, the Middle Franconian district of Eichstätt and with it Denkendorf were incorporated into the administrative district of Upper Bavaria . In 1983 there were eleven craft businesses, several other businesses, inns and guest houses, five full-time agricultural businesses and 30 part-time businesses in the town with a population of 1,347. In 1996 a new fire station and in 2000 a new sports hall for schools and clubs was inaugurated.
Incorporations
On April 1, 1971, the previously independent communities Dörndorf, Schönbrunn and Zandt were incorporated. On January 1, 1972, Bitz was added. Gelbelsee followed on May 1, 1978.
Religions
The Catholic parish thinking village dates back to ancient times, such as the St. Lawrence - patronage reveals. The Gundekar Church received a larger successor building, which was consecrated by Bishop Otto between 1182 and 1194. In 1703 a new building was built, perhaps according to plans by the Eichstätt court architect Jakob Engel , consecrated in 1705, which was extended to the north in 1927/28 by the Munich architect Friedrich Ferdinand Haindl . The stucco brought Christian Bechtle from Neumarkt in the Upper Palatinate on. The three-axis nave is flat-roofed, the tower with square basement floors and a slender octagon as the upper floor with dome (from 1762) leans against the west side. The four-column high altar and the two two-column side altars are pieces of equipment from the late Rococo . The baroque pulpit dates from 1703.
The ceiling frescoes Marter des Laurentius and the medallions with the Laurentius vita were created by the neo-baroque painter Josef Wittmann in 1928. The Way of the Cross was painted in the late 18th century. The wooden figures in the church were made in the late Gothic and Baroque periods. In 1707 the rectory, now called the "old rectory", was built; In 1946 a new rectory was built. The cemetery, originally by the church, was closed in 1921. In 1996 the parish and community library moved into new rooms. In 1967 the Parish Caritas built a home for the elderly. In 1899 and 1984 a new organ was added to the church. There is a Catholic “Kindergarten Marienheim”. The Marienkapelle in the village dates from the 17th century.
In front of the church is a stone war memorial from 1957, which shows an angel comforting a dying soldier, created by Barthel Mes from Ingolstadt.
Population development
Between 1988 and 2018 the municipality grew from 3,306 to 4,902 by 1,596 inhabitants or 48.3%.

coat of arms
Split by silver and red; in front a green tendril with four leaves, behind a silver square pillar.
Foundation of the coat of arms
The Limes , the former border between the Roman province of Raetia and the unoccupied Germania , runs through the municipality of Denkendorf ; Traces of this border wall can still be seen in the Gelbelsee, Denkendorf and Zandt districts. The stylized image of the Roman memorial column (so-called Maxlstein ) erected by the Bavarian King Max II in Denkendorf is reminiscent of the Limes . The figure of the four-leaf tendril comes from the coat of arms of the established noble family of the Lords of Zandt, who are mentioned several times from 1245 to 1519, for example in 1306 and 1347 as owners of the Zandter castle fief and in 1451 and 1485 as owners of Schönbrunn. The field colors silver and red tie in with the Eichstätter Hochstift coat of arms, since the Hochstift held sovereignty over most of today's municipal area until secularization (1803).
The community of Denkendorf accepted the coat of arms shown above and designed by Max Reinhart by resolution of the local council on November 7, 1975. The government of Upper Bavaria approved the adoption of the coat of arms on December 23, 1975.
Town twinning
Russia : The community of Denkendorf has been on friendly terms with the Moscow district of Krasnaya Presnja since 1980 . At that time, the mayor, doctor, pastor and the brass band traveled to Moscow and created a “thaw” with the help of free beer and a stand concert on Red Square . A year later, a Russian delegation paid a return visit. On August 9, 1986, a delegation brought the decision of the local council and proposed a town partnership to the local council . Relations reached a temporary high point when the former Soviet President and Nobel Prize winner Mikhail Gorbachev and his wife Raisa Gorbachev visited on July 26, 1993. Two related monuments in the town center were created by the UNESCO award-winner and Russian sculptor Dmitri Rjabitchev , who has also had a memorial since 1996 in Denkendorf is dedicated.
