This is followed by the Inn valley with an average width of 10 km. In the south follow the moraine hills and the high terrace fields of the Alzplatte with the beginnings of the alpine upland.
The highest point in the district is near Tyrlaching ( 544 m above sea level ), the lowest point on the Innspitz near Haiming ( 346 m above sea level ).
Neighboring areas
The district borders counterclockwise in the north, beginning with the districts of Rottal-Inn , Mühldorf am Inn and Traunstein . In the southeast it borders on Austria .
history
district Court
In the area of today's Altötting district, the Burghausen district court was established in 1803 and the Altötting district court in 1810 . From 1817 both belonged to the Lower Danube District (capital Passau). In the course of the renaming of the former districts of Bavaria in 1837 to the government districts that are still valid today, the area was changed between the Isar and Lower Danube districts and Upper and Lower Bavaria , which brought the Altöttinger area to Upper Bavaria.
District Office
The Altötting district office was formed in 1862 through the merger of the older district courts Altötting and Burghausen.
district
On January 1, 1939, as everywhere in the German Reich, the designation district was introduced. So the district office became the district of Altötting.
On October 1, 1970, the municipality of Mörmoosen in the Mühldorf am Inn district was reorganized into the Altötting district and incorporated into the Tüßling community .
On July 1, 1972, the municipality of Tyrlaching came from the district of Laufen to the district of Altötting as part of the regional reform .

Economy and Infrastructure
In the Future Atlas 2016 , the Altötting district was ranked 156th out of 402 districts, municipal associations and independent cities in Germany, making it one of the regions with a “balanced risk-opportunity mix”.
The Altötting district is home to major parts of the southeast Bavarian chemical triangle . A triangle can be drawn between the cities of Burghausen, Töging and Trostberg, in which internationally important chemical companies operate. Burghausen is both the headquarters of the largest Wacker Chemie AG plant and the petrochemical refinery of OMV Deutschland GmbH. The Gendorf plant is located in Burgkirchen . Various international companies in the chemical industry have settled on the site of the former Hoechst AG.
Tourism plays an important role, especially through pilgrimages in Altötting , visits to the papal birthplace Marktl and Burghausen Castle .
traffic
Outside the area, the district is connected to traffic in the direction of east and north-east Bavaria both by federal highway 20 and federal highway 588 . In the north-south direction, the federal road 299 , which between Erharting and Winhöring has meanwhile been downgraded to the AÖ 35 district road, serves as an important traffic artery. The state road St 2550 (former federal road 12), which runs in a west-east direction, also handles a large part of the supra-regional traffic and has meanwhile been significantly relieved by the A 94 . The latter crosses the district from the town and district boundary at Töging am Inn to Marktl . In the further stretch of road that extends beyond the district boundary, the congested federal highway 12 serves as a connection towards Simbach / Pocking and the A3 . Eight state roads and 33 district roads also serve through traffic in the district .
In 1871 the Royal Bavarian State Railways opened the main line from Munich to Simbach via Neuötting and Marktl as a connection from Bavaria to Austria. The much-visited place of pilgrimage Altötting was connected in 1897 by the Mühldorf – Burghausen local railway . As a connection between Altötting and Neuötting station , the Neuötting – Altötting steam tram went into operation in 1906 . By 1908 the Bavarian State Railways built the main line Mühldorf – Freilassing , which branched off from the line to Burghausen in Tüßling . In 1910, a cross connection was established from their Garching station via Trostberg to Traunstein .
Since the shutdown of the steam tram in 1930, the scope of the rail network has remained unchanged. However, the route and the train station in Burghausen were relocated around 1943.
Today the following four regional train lines run by the Südostbayernbahn cross the district:
- Mühldorf - Neuötting - Simbach
- Mühldorf - Altötting - Burghausen
- Mühldorf - Garching - Freilassing
- Mühldorf - Garching - Traunreut / Traunstein
A partially double-track expansion and the electrification of the Munich – Mühldorf – Freilassing and Tüßling – Burghausen lines are planned and noted as an urgent requirement in the federal transport infrastructure plan.
The freight traffic is mainly operated by DB Cargo . The Burghausen Freight Center went into operation on January 19, 2015.
