Kruckenberg is a village and part of the Wiesent community in the Upper Palatinate district of Regensburg in Eastern Bavaria .

The place is known for its viticulture, which has been practiced here since Roman times. An altar stone of the Roman god Liber found in Kruckenberg points to this fact.

Geography and transport links

The place is west of the core town Wiesent on the state road St 2125 . The Danube flows not far to the south. The closest town is Wörth an der Donau , about five kilometers to the east.

history

A first settlement near Kruckenberg can already be proven by early historical finds.

The history of Kruckenberg is closely linked to viticulture, which was worthwhile up to the 16th century, and thus the introduction of beer in this region. In old documents, the vineyards in Chruchunperk , the oldest spelling of the name of the place, appear in deeds of donation from Duke Theodo to the St. Peter monastery in Salzburg.

The place belonged to the parish of Wörth for a long time and was changed to the parish of Wiesent in 1875. Due to this fact, Kruckenberg, unlike Wiesent, avoided the change of denomination during the Reformation, since Wörth was Bavarian territory.

However, the local children have always attended school in Wiesent.

From 1945 to 1948 the former community was briefly incorporated into Wiesent by the US military government, after which it was independent again. On January 1, 1972, it was incorporated with all districts to Wiesent. It consisted of the districts of Kruckenberg and Lehmhof .

In 1842, the residents of Kruckenberg first approached the pastor in Wiesenter for permission to build a field chapel. The chapel was approved and two years later the wooden building was rebuilt from stones and the ordinariate was given permission for the celebration . After initially negative news, approval was obtained in 1846. In 1934 a new bell was donated by a citizen; the old bell from 1917 was removed.
