The Innstadt is a district of the university city of Passau in the Bavarian administrative district of Lower Bavaria with 6081 inhabitants (as of 2005). The only district of Passau is the Innstadt to the right of the Inn , which otherwise forms the border to Austria from the mouth of the Salzach near Haiming .
location
The Innstadt is bounded by the Inn and the state border with Austria. The northernmost border point is on the Kräutelstein . It is the only part of Passau that is located on the right side of the Inn. It is connected to the other parts of the city via the Marienbrücke , the Innsteg (pedestrian bridge), the Kaiserin-Elisabeth-Brücke and the Kräutlsteinbrücke (railway bridges).
history
The original settlement core was built by the Romans around the year 270 AD . They built the Boiotro fort in the area of today's Lederergasse. From 450 AD St. Severin worked in the city center. He founded one of the first monasteries in Bavaria in the vicinity of the fort . The church of St. Severin , which probably emerged from it, is the oldest masonry church in Passau and was the seat of the parish of Passau-Innstadt until 1787. Early 12th century, the times to was St. Giles Hospital belonging hospital church St. Gertraud at the present church square built. The fortifications, which also included the Severinstor , were built between 1408 and 1414. From around 1500, due to the outsourcing of certain risk professions from the old town, the first commercial centers developed. Blacksmiths, leather workers and red tanners settled in the area of today's Lederergasse and the Löwengrube. The Mariahilf pilgrimage church was built between 1624 and 1627 and is still an important attraction for tourists today. On April 27, 1662, a large part of the building was destroyed by fire. Both Mariahilf and St. Gertraud could not be protected from the flames. In 1787 the seat of the Innstadt parish was moved from St. Severin to St. Gertraud , and since 1968 St. Gertraud has also been an official parish church. However, the parish of Passau-Innstadt retained the patronage of St. Severin. The Innstadt received its present-day character after the great fire of Passau in 1809.
The Beiderwies community
In 1816 the municipality of Beiderwies was established, the name of which goes back to the Boiotro fort. It encompassed the entire area outside the city walls to the right of the Inn, which came to Bavaria in 1803 and stretched like a wide belt around the original Innstadt, which belonged to Passau. Both the parish church of St. Severin at the time , the St. Agidien Hospital and the Mariahilf pilgrimage church belonged to Beiderwies, while St. Gertraud was in Passau's territory.
As early as 1818 , the Mühltal was cut out of Beiderwies and incorporated into the city of Passau. In 1897, individual citizens applied for incorporation into Passau. Instead, the district office submitted the incorporation of the entire community to a vote. The vote of July 8, 1898 resulted in 25 pro and 25 contrast votes, which means that the motion was rejected. In 1912 the Beiderwies volunteer fire brigade was founded.
On March 28, 1922, the mayor of Passau, Carl Sittler, presented the Beiderwies municipal council with a report that pointed to the close ties between Beiderwies and Passau. On May 21, 1922, the referendum required by law to incorporate Beiderwies into Passau took place. 379 community members supported the affiliation, 127 were against. On July 1, 1923, the Beiderwies community, which last had 1860 members, came to the city of Passau.
The name of the municipality Beiderwies was named after the district of the same name in the Lindental, Kühberg, Voglau and Am Severinstor area.
The root word Both goes back to the Celtic place name Boiodurum , later Boiotro or the Roman border fort of the same name, which later developed into Both via Peiter and Peichter . Both are uncommon as a place name in parlance today.
The brook that flows through the Lindental and flows into the Inn between Innsteg and Severinstor is still called Beiderbach today .
Innstadt brewery
The Innstadt Brauerei Bierspezialitäten GmbH was an important economic factor in the district until 2013 with its 60 employees and an annual turnover of 8.1 million euros. The Innstadt brand was taken over by the regional market leader brewery Hacklberg in 2012 as part of a jointly planned strategic objective. As before, the Innstadt beer specialties will continue to be produced and sold by Hacklberg under the original recipes as the Innstadt brand. In addition, there are many pubs and bars in the Lederergasse and the Löwengrube, which are very popular with students. In 2015, part of the brewery building was demolished and a residential complex was rebuilt by the end of 2018.
traffic
Two important road connections to Austria lead through the Innstadt with the state road 2625 in the direction of Mariahilf and the state road 2125 in the direction of Achleiten. Both meet at the Marienbrücke. Due to fuel tourism , the traffic load in the inner city is high.
In addition to road traffic, the Wels – Passau railway runs for around two kilometers through the city center. There is no stop in the district.
From these branches in the hairpin Voglau the now disused railway line Passau-Hauzenberg . With Passau-Innstadt and Passau-Rosenau it had two stops in the city center. The line was leased by DB Netz to the Bavarian Regional Railway, which plans to reactivate the line under the brand name "Granitbahn".
