Kiefenholz ( Bavarian : Kiafaholz ) is a church village and district of the Upper Palatinate town of Wörth an der Donau in the Regensburg district in Bavaria .
Geographical location
The place is on the western edge of the Gäuboden , directly on the Danube and four kilometers from Wörth. It is the westernmost part of the city.
history
In 1145 Pope Eugene III. the possessions of the Regensburg cathedral chapter in protection. In a document from 1146, a mair Chunrath von Khirffenholz appeared as a witness, according to which the place must have already existed at that time. Kiefenholz was the center of the upper area, which also includes Oberachdorf , Kruckenberg and Frengkofen. The importance of the place decreased with the construction of the Wörther Castle .
The district of Giffa belonging to Kiefenholz was first mentioned in 1364. The district of Kleinkiefenholz is likely to be the remainder of the old town of Windheim or Wiedenhaim, which is still mentioned in documents around 1250. There is no evidence for this. Until 1848, Kleinkiefenholz was assigned to the Mitterfels regional court , the Brennberg regional court and the Walderbach rent office . While Kiefenholz belonged to the parish of Wörth, Kleinkiefenholz was assigned to the parish of Illkofen until 1854 , and since then also to the parish of Wörth. → Main article of the Kleinkiefenholz district

Former mayor
Kiefenholz was an independent municipality until 1945. The village temporarily became part of the Wiesent community until 1948, prompted by the US military government . From April 1, 1948, Kiefenholz was independent again and joined the city of Wörth after a referendum in the course of the Bavarian regional reform. The mayor mentioned for the first time was Sebastian Beutl (1865–1870), the last mayor was Georg Kramer (1966–1971), his predecessor Johann Vilsmeier (1949–1966).
Population development
In 1890 the population of Kiefenholz was 254 inhabitants. The lowest level of the population was in 1967 with 192 inhabitants, the highest, due to the influx of displaced persons and refugees, in 1947 with 273 inhabitants. The population figures refer to the districts of Giffa, Kiefenholz and Kleinkiefenholz.
Living with the Danube
Kiefenholz is located directly on the Danube and has therefore repeatedly been hit by floods. Therefore, the citizens built a flood protection dam in 1870 , which was reinforced with state aid in 1928 and 1929.
In 1976 and 1977, Rhein-Main-Donau AG began expanding the river into a federal waterway . Since the construction of the Geisling barrage and hydropower plant, the Danube has been over five meters deep and sometimes over 300 meters wide.
school
The village on the Danube used to be the location of a school. The chronicle about it has been kept since 1840. It is documented as early as 1808 that a teacher came to Kiefenholz and gave lessons in various private houses. A school house was opened in 1823 and one floor was added in 1869. The Bavarian school reform of 1967 brought the end of the single-class Kiefenholz elementary school . Since then, the students have been enrolled in Wörth an der Donau.
graveyard
There has always been a cemetery around the church. A soul house was built in 1874 and demolished in 1955. In the same year the old cemetery wall was removed and the construction of a new fence started. In 1967 a new morgue was built there . In the past, only the residents of Kiefenholz were buried in the cemetery. The citizens of Kleinkiefenholz were buried in Illkofen, those of Giffa in Wörth an der Donau.
Former Walhalla Railway
The municipality of Kiefenholz subsidized the construction of the extension of the Walhalla Railway from Donaustauf to Wörth with 3000 Reichsmarks. A local beer surcharge was approved to cover this amount. The community benefited significantly from the extension of the railway line, which opened in 1902. In 1968 the railway was shut down.
Others
Before Kiefenholz was connected to the Wörth power station in 1911, the village was connected to the public telephone network in 1906 through the opening of a communal "telephone station". In 1988 the Bavarian Farmers' Association organized the “Open Village Day” in Kiefenholz with around 20,000 visitors. In 2004 this major event was held here again with BBV President Gerhard Sonnleitner and 15,000 guests. After the place took part in the competition “Our village should be more beautiful” in 1968, the place took part in the competition “Our village has a future - our village should be more beautiful” in 1993 and emerged as the district winner. At the state level, Kiefenholz was awarded the silver medal.
Territorial reform
Since the regional reform of April 1, 1971, Kiefenholz has been part of the city of Wörth an der Donau.
From 1987 the city of Wörth an der Donau developed the new housing estate "Maisteig" .

societies
There are several clubs in the village. After a pressure syringe was already available in 1852 and a fire station was built in 1854, the Kiefenholz volunteer fire brigade was founded in 1868 . She takes care of fire protection and general help.

Regular events

regional customs
Since 1842 there has been an annual pilgrimage from Wörth and Kiefenholz to the pilgrimage church of St. Ursula in Pilgramsberg at the end of May / beginning of June . It goes back to a healing through the pilgrimage of a Kiefenholz citizen whose son was blind after a vaccination and then got his eyesight back.
Flood polder Wörthhof
Since the Kiefenholz district, along with other parts of the city, would be directly affected by the " Wörthhof " flood pold planned by the Bavarian State Ministry for the Environment and Consumer Protection , the city of Wörth an der Donau has unanimously and emphatically spoken out against the plans of the Bavarian state government. The district administrator of the district of Regensburg Tanja Schweiger is also skeptical. A groundwater problem that has existed for years, caused by the Danube, and the threat to the drinking water supply of the city of Wörth, which is also in the immediate vicinity of the planned flood polders, would clearly speak against it. A strong protest movement called "IG-Polder" has emerged from numerous farmers and citizens.
On April 11, 2015, the CSU district chairwoman and Minister of Social Affairs Emilia Müller visited the district of Kiefenholz to familiarize herself with the problem of flood polders.
Due to the coalition agreement concluded between the Free Voters and the CSU after the state elections on October 14, 2018 in Bavaria , the flood polder concept is no longer being pursued in the Regensburg district. This was a key demand of the Free Voters. The funds released are to be invested in decentralized flood protection along the Danube and all its inlets.
