history

The Anger of Hohenau

The town of Hohenau, which surrounds a wide meadow , was founded around 1380. Large estates in today's municipal area were owned by the Puchberg family of Wildenstein, of which the Erasmus Chapel in Buchberg still commemorates; this former castle chapel is the only remnant that reminds of the splendor and fame of the Knights of Wildenstein. Directly opposite are the only rudimentary remains of the Neuenpuchberg Fortress , which were uncovered in the early 1990s. It was built in the 15th century under Hartlieb von Puchberg, ministerial of the Passau bishops and at the same time vassal of the dukes of Bavaria, as the northern border of the compartment country.

The name Hohenau can be traced back to the landscape, the "high Au". Hohenau had been the benefice of the parish of Perlesreut since at least 1476 and was raised to a parish in the 16th century, which was incorporated into the collegiate monastery of St. Salvator in Passau until 1803 . The parish church of St. Peter and Paul was built around 1737 and enlarged in 1964.

The village burned down for the last time in 1834.

  • The SV Hohenau 1949 e. V. was founded in December 1949 by war refugees and expellees from Eastern Europe . After the game had to be temporarily suspended due to a lack of players in 1955, the sports club was brought back to life in December 1960. For a long time only football was played in clubs, now volleyball, women's gymnastics and skiing are also offered. The first team in the soccer department played in the Niederbayern district league from 2009 to 2011, from which they were relegated in 2011. From the 2015/16 season to 2017/18 they were again represented in the Niederbayern Ost district league, as they were able to achieve the district championship title in the Bayerwald district league in the 2014/15 season. In 2018 they were relegated to the district league and now play in the district league Passau. The game is played in the Lusen Stadium.
