history
The Abensberg family was increasingly restricted in their power by the Bavarian dukes, and in 1485 the last Abensberg, Niclas von Abensberg , was murdered by Seitz the Frauenberger near Freising. Although the Abensberg rule was considered imperial territory, it was immediately occupied by troops from the Bavarian Duchy of Bavaria-Munich and finally acquired by the Wittelsbachers in December 1493 against payment of a not inconsiderable sum of money to King Maximilian . A Bavarian regional court ( nursing court ) was set up in Abensberg. Before 1800 the maintenance office belonged to the Straubing Rent Office of the Electorate of Bavaria. With an ordinance of March 24, 1802, the nursing courts were converted into regional courts ("older order"). In 1808 the district court was assigned to the rain district . In 1838 the district courts and Abensberg Kelheim to come Lower Bavaria , which until then lower Danube Circle said. On August 8, 1857, 17 southern communities were assigned to the Mainburg district court . In 1862 the remnants of the regional court in the Rottenburg district office went up.
