Greising with Expositurkirche and pilgrimage chapel

Greising is a district and a district of the district town of Deggendorf in Lower Bavaria district Deggendorf .

location

Greising is located in the Upper Bavarian Forest about five kilometers northeast of Deggendorf and about three kilometers west of the Rusel .

history

The Böhmweg , which was built in the 6th century, led through Greising from the Danube to Bohemia . Greising was a rest stop on this way. The place belonged to the Deggendorf nursing court and, in a breakdown from 1527, to the main team (later chairman ) Tattenberg.

The painter Franz Reischl from Deggendorf got lost in the winter of 1672 on his return from Regen to Deggendorf with his horse near Greising. In gratitude for his salvation, he painted a wayside shrine with the image of Mary, from which a Marian pilgrimage developed. In 1674 a wooden chapel was built around the simple statue, which was later followed by a brick building. In 1692, a church was built, very likely by the Deggendorf city architect Ulrich Stöckl, which was looked after from Deggendorf.

The Ruselstraße, completed in 1817, no longer touched the place. In 1818 Greising, emerging from the tax district of the same name, became a political municipality. It comprised 35 families who were spread over two villages, one hamlet and six wastelands. In 1826 the Regional Court of Deggendorf applied to merge the hamlet of Rusel, which belongs to the municipality of Urlading, with the municipality of Greising, but this was rejected.

The writer and local researcher Max Peinkofer was a teacher in Greising until 1923 after the First World War. He writes about his stay in the report stories and legends from the Rusel Mountains in his home book Der Brunnkorb :

"Here I have spent a few unforgettable years as a forest school master and on Sunday, when we were sitting with beer mugs in the beautiful and remote mountain and Mariendörfl Greising, the ancestors from the mountains told me the inherited stories and tales of the mountain home."

This is how his story, The Wirtsdirn von Greising, also contained in the well- basket , came about . At the center of this folk tale is a host who outwits the dreaded Pandours .

In 1924 the Greising branch was built and a cemetery was laid out. With effect from July 1, 1964, the community-free forest district Winterleite (Ruselerhang) in the east was incorporated into the community of Greising and incorporated into the Greising district. On January 1, 1972 Greising came to the municipality of Mietraching as part of the regional reform , which came to the city of Deggendorf on January 1, 1974 as part of the incorporation with Greising.

The Deggendorf-Greising ski area is located near Greising.
