history
Until the church is planted
Hengersberg was founded in 997 as Helmgeresberg by Abbot Gotthard von Niederalteich . At that time the place was still on the Danube . The church on the Frauenberg, originally a castle church, also goes back to Godehard.
In 1009, King Heinrich II, at the request of Godehard , granted Niederaltaich monastery the right to hold a market here and set up a customs and toll station. In 2009, Hengersberg, the oldest market in Old Bavaria, will celebrate this 1000 year anniversary. Abbot Hermann had a hospital built in Helingersberg in 1270 . The derivation of the Danube from 1343 to 1353 reduced the importance of the place as a toll and customs office , but the dukes Heinrich and Otto endowed the closed Hofmark with market rights , sovereign freedoms and the seat of a maintenance office .
In 1430, Duke Heinrich XVI. the Henngensperig market two annual markets, the number of which later grew to six. The Hengersberg cattle markets were particularly important. In the 16th century, Abbot Paulus converted the customs house, which became superfluous after the Danube was relocated, into an infirmary, which later became the district hospital.
In 1590, Abbot Hermann III. build the parish church of St. Michael on the Rohrberg . In the Thirty Years' War and the War of the Austrian Succession there were several lootings. Severe fires raged in 1513, 1796 and 1823.
The care court , later called the regional court, was merged with that of Winzer and in 1803 with that of Deggendorf. Instead, Hengersberg received a rent office , which was moved to Niederalteich around 1809 and merged with that of Deggendorf around 1823.
19th to 21st century
In 1838 a new regional court was established , which was converted into a district court in 1879 and dissolved in 1969. In 1852 Hengersberg received a royal mail expedition . In 1843 the stone bridge was built near Schwarzach over the Hengersberger Ohe .
On November 26, 1913, Hengersberg received a railway connection with the opening of the Deggendorf – Hengersberg section of the Deggendorf – Kalteneck railway line. Today this section, on which freight traffic still takes place, forms the rest of the railway line that was otherwise dismantled and converted into the Donau-Ilz cycle path .

Schwanenkirchen , which belongs to the community, is 1150 years old, first mentioned in a document in 857, as one of the oldest villages on the left of the Danube.
An economic miracle also occurred in Schwanenkirchen at the time of the global economic crisis, as the mine owner at the time introduced the emergency money " WÄRA ". The newspapers all over Germany wrote about the "WÄRA island in the Bavarian Forest". Following the example of Schwanenkirchen, Hengersberg (Schwanenkirchen was a separate municipality until the territorial reform in 1971) introduced the WÄRA, but this emergency money was banned by the government in 1931.
The father of Pope Benedict XVI. , Josef Ratzinger, comes from Rickering (Schwanenkirchen parish); he was born there in 1877.
