geography

Bittenbrunn is located 2 km northwest of Neuburg on the left bank of the Danube on the southern slopes of the Jura . Up until the 18th century, wine was grown on the southern slopes of the Jura between Bittenbrunn and Laisacker.
Laisacker is directly adjacent to the east, the Ziegelau to the north and the Eulahof directly on the Danube to the south-west. The Auschlösschen is on the southern edge of Bittenbrunn, also on the Danube.

The neighboring towns of Bittenbrunn are the town of Neuburg an der Donau in the southeast, Hessellohe and Ried in the east, Gietlhausen in the north and Riedensheim in the west.

The state road St 2214 runs through Bittenbrunn, which runs along the northern edge of the Danube valley .

history

Excavations in the area already indicate early settlement: to the northeast of Laisacker there are remains of a Neolithic settlement, a Roman vineyard was excavated in the Molsterwald east of Kieselweiß and a Germanic grave from 300 AD in the communal quarry towards Gietlhausen.
The name Bittenbrunn probably comes from an old pagan spring shrine that was venerated further after Christianization.
Bittenbrunn was first mentioned in 1281 in a deed of donation from Hartmann von Dillingen , Bishop of Augsburg, to the cathedral choir in Eichstätt , in which the church rate, the big toe and other inclines were given away in Butenbrun . In 1327 a Wernhern von Tegernbeck sold Ulrich von Pfeffenhausen , canon in Eichstätt, 3 courtyards and a tree garden in Bittenbrunn , who then gave it to the Benedictine monastery in Neuburg in 1338 . From 1505 to 1808 Bittenbrunn belonged to the Principality of Neuburg . In 1556 Ottheinrich had a ditch dug in Bittenbrunn to prevent the Danube river bed from being relocated to the north.

The Auschlösschen dates from the second half of the 17th century. The Eulahof, which was demolished in 2011 and located directly on the Danube, was a cattle farm.

The parish of the Assumption of Mary belongs to the parish community Neuburg an der Donau. The parish church partly dates from the 13th century. The southwest half of the ship was lengthened twice in 1906 and 1930. The sculptural image of a well Christ from the beginning of the 17th century, from whose wounds the spring water poured, reminds of the place of origin. The poet Jacob Balde praised this fountain Christ in one of his Latin poems dedicated to Duke Philipp Wilhelm von Pfalz-Neuburg .

Until 1 July 1972, the independent municipality Bittenbrunn belonged with its districts to district Neuburg an der Donau and then fell to the municipal reform in Bavaria to the enlarged district Neuburg on the Danube, in on 1 May 1973. Neuburg-Schrobenhausen was renamed . On January 1, 1978, the place was incorporated into the city of Neuburg an der Donau.
