history

Pilgrimage history

In 1417 the pilgrimage to Laaberberg began. As the historian Johannes Aventinus reports in his Bavarian Chronicle, a prun suddenly sprang up at Laberperg . The water of this spring was said to have numerous miraculous powers: Anyone who has an internal or external defect and drinks or bathes in the water will get well again. Even Duke Ludwig the Rich came to Laaberberg with his entourage.

After a few years, the Regensburg Bishop Friedrich III. von Plankenfels this cult and rated it as "pagan activity", which is why he had the well filled up. The rain then began so heavily that it threatened to destroy the entire harvest. In their need, the residents fled to the Laaberberg church to ask Maria for help. Immediately the weather improved.

From 1470 people made a pilgrimage to the new life-size image of the Mother of God with the baby Jesus . The number of pilgrims increased so much in the following centuries that the Augustinian canons in Rohr had to send six to seven priests to their wedding in the 17th and 18th centuries on festive days in order to be able to provide pastoral care to the pilgrims. Since that time numerous answers to prayer and miracles have been attested in the votive tablets and miracle books . After the Thirty Years War , a fountain was built behind the high altar again, but it had to be closed in 1846.

With the secularization of the Rohr monastery in 1803 and its establishment as an independent parish , the Church of the Sacrifice of the Virgin Mary became increasingly insignificant as a place of pilgrimage. Nevertheless, several hundred pilgrims come to the image of Mary on various occasions every year. A regular pilgrimage is for example that of the parish of Herrnwahlthann .

Parish history

Laaberberg and its church were first mentioned in 1133 when Count Adalbert von Abensberg founded the monastery of the Augustinian Canons in Rohr. The document expressly states that the place of worship was a parish church . A year earlier, the church in Niedereulenbach had already been designated as a branch of Laaberberg. When the parish Laaberberg was founded, however, remains in the dark. The first detailed description of the parish dates back to 1435. Exactly two hundred years later, the Laaberberg parish was incorporated into the Rohr monastery ; from this point in time the pastoral care also took place from Rohr. A fundamental change occurred in 1803 when the Rohr monastery was closed as a result of secularization and after almost 170 years a secular priest was appointed again in Laaberberg. In 1805, the Bavarian Elector Maximilian IV incorporated the Högldorf Vicariate into the parish. From 1844 to 1850 Anton Westermayer , who had previously made a name for himself because of his contentious sermons in Regensburg Cathedral , was pastor of Laaberberg. The Rohr-Laaberberg parish community was founded in 2008; since then there is no longer a separate pastor in Laaberberg. Pastoral care is now being ordered from the Rohr monastery again.

History of the political community

The political municipality of Laaber was established in 1818 and was renamed Laaberberg in 1837. Districts of the municipality of Laaberberg were Alzhausen , Mixmühle, Kalteneck, Au, Thalhof , Reichenroith, Kronholzen, Unter- and Obergrünbach , Laaber , Oberndorf and Schmiddorf. It was not until April 1, 1927 that the community came from the Kelheim district office to the Rottenburg an der Laaber district office and thus to the Rottenburg an der Laaber district, which has been known since 1939 . It was incorporated into the Rohr market in Lower Bavaria on January 1, 1974 as part of the regional reform in Bavaria .
