history

Regional courts

The area of ​​today's district of Dingolfing-Landau belonged to Bavaria very early on. In 1803, the Landau an der Isar district court was established in the district , which from 1808 belonged to the Lower Danube District . The regional courts of Dingolfing and Osterhofen were established in 1838 from parts of its territory . All regional courts then belonged to the Lower Bavaria district .

District Offices

In 1862, in the course of the separation of justice and administration at the lower level, the district offices of Dingolfing and Landau were created in addition to the previous regional court districts of the same name, with the regional court of Dingolfing ceding some communities that from then on formed the judicial district of Arnstorf, which was assigned to the district office of Eggenfelden. It should be noted that "District Office" in the Bavarian administrative language corresponded to today's district office, while "District", like today's administrative district, was the middle administrative level. The Osterhofen area was part of the Vilshofen district office.

Counties

On January 1, 1939, as everywhere in the German Reich, the designation district was introduced. The district offices became the districts of Dingolfing and Landau adIsar.

coat of arms

Blazon : “Split under the shield head with the Bavarian diamonds; in front in red a silver lion, which rises on a silver side four-mountain, in the back in the notch section three times divided by red and silver. "

Reasons for the coat of arms: The coat of arms combines elements from the coats of arms of the earlier districts of Dingolfing and Landau an der Isar. The lion on the side four-mountain stands for the Landau area. It is a talking picture from the coat of arms of the Counts of Leonberg, who had a great influence in the area between Isar and Inn. The multiple division in the notch section corresponds to the apocryphal shield image of the Counts of Frontenhausen, who ruled the Dingolfing area until their extinction around 1226. The Bavarian diamonds are reminiscent of the Wittelsbach house.

traffic

Rail transport

The former district town of Landau received its first station on the Plattling - Neumarkt-St.Veit - Mühldorf route in 1875 through the AG der Bayerischen Ostbahnen . In neighboring Pilsting, the Bavarian State Railways branched off the line up the Isar to Landshut - Munich from 1880. It is part of the Landshut – Plattling railway line . The line between the Plattling and Pilsting station had already been opened on October 15, 1875, including the Landau (Isar) station ; on May 15, 1880, the section from Pilsting via Dingolfing to Landshut Central Station went into operation.

From Landau, the state local railway to Arnstorf started in 1903 with a branch line opened in 1915 to Kröhstorf . Both railways lost passenger traffic in 1962/64; likewise in 1969/70 the Pilsting - Neumarkt-St.Veit section on the Mühldorf-Pilsting railway line . The network of passenger trains has thus shrunk from 95 km to 36 km; these only stop at the three train stations in Dingolfing, Landau and Wallersdorf in the district.

Road traffic

Through the district from southwest to northeast the federal highway 92 , which leads from Munich to Deggendorf ( federal highway 3 ). The federal road 20 ( Straubing - Burghausen ) runs almost in a north-south direction through the district with a connection to the A 92 and Landau.
