The Freight Transport Center (GVZ) Port Deggendorf is now a cargo port in the Deggendorf district of Deggenau on the Danube . Its history goes back to ancient times.
location
The port of Deggendorf covers a total area of 55 hectares . It lies between Danube km 2282.374 and 2283.870 on the left and consists of three sections.
It has no harbor basins , but is designed as a land .
history
The Danube was an important trade route and east-west connection to the Black Sea region as early as the Bronze Age , Hallstatt Age and Latène Age . In Celtic times the space was a densely populated area. There was rowing, stomping , graining and fishing.
At the latest in Roman times there was also sailing and Deggendorf was on the so-called stage , a strict day's march from Regensburg (Villa Regio) and Passau (Castra Batava). At that time, the mouth of the Kollbach , which used to be around today's Uferplatz, was used as the port . Shipping was maintained through all times and commercial rafting was also operated until the end of the 19th century .
The oldest port facilities still preserved today date from the High Middle Ages. The listed former ship master's house, where the boatmen and the carters handled salt and grain, for example, dates back to at least the 14th century and was given its present-day appearance as early as 1590.
From 1846, the Ludwig-Danube-Main Canal was the first permanently navigable connection from the North Sea to the Black Sea , which caused the volume of cargo to continue to grow.
After 1860, when the Plattling – Bayerisch Eisenstein line was opened, the port's importance as a transshipment point decreased noticeably, as this line initially did not open up Deggendorf. Only in the 1870s was a branch line built there.
After the First World War , a little further to the west, permanently fortified quays were built on the site of today's shipyard . Bayerische Hafenbetriebs GmbH , founded by Josef Wallner , opened in the 1920s . The rail connection was established and the port area became noticeably larger and more important over the years through further settlements despite the global economic crisis . After the entire port area was 80% destroyed by an air raid at the end of the Second World War on April 20, 1945, Wallner devoted himself to rebuilding the port facilities in the post-war years.
From 1948 the port was provisionally operational again and in 1953 the Deggendorf Water Management Office moved into the renovated ship master's house as a river master's position. However, through which consisted conveyance of the Ludwig-Danube-Main canal in the 1960s, at first no more navigable route to northern Germany down.
In the construction boom of the 1960s and 1970s, the transshipment capacities of the river port near the old town gradually reached their limits. With the breakthrough of the Main-Danube Canal in 1992 at the latest , the navigable north-south connection was restored and the port was bursting at the seams.
The new facilities in Deggenau were planned and implemented in the following decade.
Ten years later, in 2002 Deggendorf celebrated the opening of the second German free port (after Duisburg) . The free zone was given up again in May 2016.
