history

From 1120 to 1271, Graß was owned by the Grazze family, with the earliest named Luitwin von Grazze (Luitwinstraße). So also the oldest spelling of the place name Grazze, which means something like 'bushes, bushes'.

Around 1335, the Graß Castle , which had been built up to then, as well as the land and property, passed into the possession of the Löbl family from Regensburg. In 1396 this ceded half of the property to the Auer family.

At the beginning of the 15th century, Grass was subject to the Teutonic Order . A blood feud around 1425 between the knights of the Teutonic Order and the son of the Vizedom von Straubing, Emmeram Nothaft, brought difficult times to the place. When the castle was conquered, grass was defenseless, peasants were plundered and many were taken prisoner.

During the Thirty Years War around 1633/34, the castle sank into ruins. It was no longer built.

With the secularization around 1803, the Teutonic Order had to cede, and Graß passed into the possession of the royal state administration in Munich. The 16 farmers from Graß, until then subjects of the Teutonic Order, bought back the land with 12,768 guilders. It was decided to use fields and forests together. Finally, you had to pay an annual interest to Munich and promised to keep the St. Michael Palace Chapel. Some parts of the Graßer landscape are designated in the contract: the Gschwändholz, the Brandholz, the Frauenschlagl, the Pflegerwiese, the old Schlag, the Birkenschlag, the Holzwiese.

On January 1, 1970, Graß was incorporated into the neighboring community of Oberisling as part of the regional reform due to the planning of the university clinic . With this, Graß came to Regensburg on January 1st, 1977 .
