history

Early Middle Ages

The Altham district was first mentioned in a document in 742: A family member of the Agilolfinger gave Altham to the Benediktbeuern monastery . In 788 the settlement Ardeoingas (corresponding to Erding) was first mentioned in a document. In 891 King Arnulf donated the royal court there to the cathedral chapter in Salzburg .

middle Ages

In 1228 Erding was granted city rights by Duke Ludwig of Bavaria ; the city (Herzogstadt) was deliberately created as a ducal base opposite the Freising Monastery on the Schongau-Munich-Landshut trunk road. The pear-shaped shape of the old town results from the two watercourses - the Sempt in the east and the artificially deepened Fehlbach in the west, which gave the city the value of a water fortress. Wall, moat and rampart are still present in small remnants.

Inside the old town there are typical characteristics of a Wittelsbach city re-establishment in the 13th century. An elongated, about 400 meters long north-south axis, the north of the square Schrannenplatz Lange Zeile 's and was originally created as a street market. In a west-east direction - offset - a street and in the middle the Schrannenplatz . Of the original four city gates (in the west the Münchner Tor , in the north the Freisinger Tor and in the south the Haager Tor ) only the east gate, the Landshuter Tor (beautiful tower) has been preserved. This was the largest city gate, as it led to the then capital Landshut. The town castle of Erding , which is now defunct, was located in the southwest . In addition to its strategic importance, it later became a trading center, especially for grain and cattle.

With the first division of the Wittelsbach state, Erding was assigned to Lower Bavaria , where it remained until the beginning of the 19th century. From 1300 the Erdinger city tower, the symbol of the city, was built in a central location.

In 1503 Erding was conquered by Duke Albrecht IV of Bavaria-Munich in the War of the Bavarian Succession . At the end of the War of Succession , Upper and Lower Bavaria were reunited in 1506. The Hofmark Altenerding, which has since been restored by the Salzburg Cathedral Chapter, was sold by the Counts of Haag to Johann Jakob Fugger .

In the course of the Thirty Years War the Swedes conquered, pillaged and plundered Erding twice - in 1632 and 1634. The consequences were a famine and the outbreak of the plague in 1634. In 1648 Erding became the headquarters of the Swedish general Wrangel . Most of the population had fled to the as yet unoccupied areas of the country - most of them to Wasserburg am Inn and Traunstein . When the imperial forces under General Piccolomini advanced on Erding from Vilsbiburg and Geisenhausen , the city was set on fire again. The third reconstruction was financed by a specially introduced beer tax.

Modern times

During the Napoleonic Wars - particularly at the Battle of Hohenlinden in 1800 - Erding was obliged to billet and feed soldiers.

At the end of World War II, on the afternoon of April 18, 1945, American forces dropped 50 explosive bombs; the old town was hit. 120 people were killed, 24 died from their injuries in the next few days. It is believed that the attack was actually aimed at Freising. On May 1, 1945, the city of Erding was handed over to the US troops without a fight.

With effect from January 1, 2013 Erding was elevated to a major district town .

Incorporations

In 1924 Heilig Blut came from the Altenerding parish in Erding and in 1938 Siglfing came from the Oberding parish . On May 1, 1978, the previously independent communities Altenerding and Langengeisling were incorporated as part of the municipal reform.

Coat of arms and flag

Erding coat of arms
 Blazon : "In silver, a slanted blue ploughshare."
Justification for the coat of arms: Since the 13th century, the shield has had a sloping ploughshare , which was intended as a device for working the earth as a speaking symbol for the place name. Since the oldest seal, which dates from the late 13th century and has been handed down through imprints since 1303, the shield has always shown the inclined ploughshare (actually "plow iron"). Current research points to the correspondence between the long-forgotten Celtic word “Ard” (for plow knife) and the local dialect pronounced “Arding” for Erding. The very many images of the coat of arms since 1523 consistently indicate today's colors, but the ploughshare was almost without exception placed vertically.

The coat of arms of Erding is (like that of Dorfen ) already contained in the coat of arms collection of Philipp Apian and in the coat of arms sheet of Hans Mielich . The city coat of arms was confirmed after the municipal reform on August 4, 1978.

The Erdinger flag has the colors white-blue-white.

    The futuristic-looking extension (opened in June 2010) with shimmering gold panels nestles against the historic old building. Visitors are greeted by a picture wall in front of the entrance, which presents a panopticon of everyday life in Erdingen and extends through the entire foyer into the interior of the museum: 100 square meters of picture wall create a multifaceted overall picture of people, houses and events from the last 50 years - in Based on the gold facade of the new building, it is colored semi-transparent gold. The 1,800 or so photos are part of the overall “Living Museum” concept, which is shown in all sections of the exhibition : In addition to permanently installed modules, each theme has its own changeable area, a living part that is used for special exhibitions or specific activities.
    The show “Erdinger Handwerk” shows an overview of old and new Erdinger companies: the handicraft of the bell foundry, for example, staged with a bell canopy and an invitation to try it out on the carillon and the trade of the loderer. Here too, visitors     can experience the term “tradition” not only visually , but also haptically : milled wool , drawn onto balls, invites you to try it out.

Leisure facilities

The Erdinger Stadtpark has a long history. Around the monastery church Heilig-Blut (1675; built in place of a wooden chapel built in 1360) and the castle (1712), Baron Walter von Grainger and Franziska von Grainger, née Widnmann, founded today's gardens in the form of an English park landscape in 1822.

Even in its early days, the park was widely used as a recreational area. In 1861 Grainger had the area planted up to the Sempt. In the decades that followed, the park, which has belonged to the Heilig-Geist-Stiftung since 1877, was further developed and expanded. At the beginning of the 20th century, the city park was seriously neglected. So Kolb, the master horticulturalist from Munich, laid out the park again.

The expansion of the park in the 20th century included the creation of a playground (1934) and an animal enclosure (1935). A new animal enclosure was built around 1971. Further renovations and renovations took place in the 1980s and 1990s. Until the redesign in 2018, the animal enclosure also presented fallow deer and a donkey. In a petting zoo there are u. a. Peacocks, rabbits, guinea pigs and goats. Different species of birds live in a spacious aviary. The Erdinger Stadtpark has developed over time due to its size and central location into the most important public, inner-city green space. The park is used by all age groups - whether for recreation, sport, communication or play. The facility also serves as a retreat and habitat for many different plants and animals. A monument on the Sempt commemorates the painter Wilhelm von Diez, another monument to the founder of the city park.

The "ladder to heaven" in Erdinger Stadtpark

After public participation, the revitalization of part of the park began in spring 2012. The aim of the planning is to maintain the wooded population, which adapts the range of uses of the park to current and future needs. The room layout is based on the model of the historical landscape park, valuable trees should be better accentuated. With the acquisition of the Mayr-Wirt site (2010) southeast of the S-Bahn, an extensive, natural zone was added to the park. A viewing platform , the so-called “heavenly ladder”, and a “green classroom” enable the area to be used for educational purposes.

The central playground was redesigned in 2012 to an adventure playground that shows itself as a Celtic village with thatched roof houses and a Celtic tower. The complex is called "WENIADUNUM - the family fortress", the name is a neologism after "Dunum", a Latin name for a Celtic oikonym . The educational concept of the playground is a. in getting children and young people enthusiastic about the history of the Erdinger Land. Archaeologists have already explored around 30 known Celtic square entrenchments in the Erding district. The so-called Erdinger Group thus accounts for a tenth of all Iron Age installations in Bavaria. An information house invites you to explore Erdinger's early history.
