About this picture
Riedenburg an der Altmühl

The district of Kelheim is the westernmost district of the Bavarian administrative district of Lower Bavaria .

geography

location

The Kelheim district is traversed by the Danube from southwest to northeast . She divides it into two different sized parts. The smaller northern part, to the left of the Danube, is called the Altmühlalb , named after the Altmühl , which reaches the district in the northwest and then flows in a southeastern direction to flow into the Danube at Kelheim. The Altmühl is canalised throughout the district and is thus part of the Main-Danube Canal , via which the ships can enter the Danube at Kelheim. The southern part of the district, to the right of the Danube, is the hilly landscape of the Hallertau , which is mainly used for agriculture.

Neighboring areas

Neighboring districts are the district of Regensburg in the north and east , the district of Landshut in the south-east, the district of Freising in the south, the districts of Pfaffenhofen an der Ilm and Eichstätt in the west and the district of Neumarkt in the Upper Palatinate in the northwest .

Belonging to planning regions

The district of Kelheim is, besides the district of Tirschenreuth, the only district in Bavaria that has a regional border . Most of it belongs to the Regensburg planning region , only the Mainburg middle center in the south of the district with the five communities Aiglsbach , Attenhofen , Elsendorf , Mainburg and Volkenschwand belongs to the Landshut planning region .

history

Regional courts

In 1803, the Abensberg , Kelheim and Riedenburg regional courts were formed in what is now the Kelheim district . The first two belonged to the Regenkreis , the Riedenburg District Court initially to the Altmühlkreis , and from 1810 also to the Regenkreis. In 1838 the regional courts of Abensberg and Kelheim came to Lower Bavaria , which until then was called the Lower Danube District . Riedenburg remained with the Regenkreis, which was then referred to as Upper Palatinate . In 1854 the Kelheim district court handed some communities over to the Stadtamhof and Regensburg (both Upper Palatinate) courts . In 1857, 17 municipalities of the Abensberg regional court and some municipalities of the neighboring Moosburg and Pfaffenhofen regional courts formed a separate Mainburg regional court .

District Offices

This district court Mainburg formed in 1862 with the district court Rottenburg an der Laaber established in 1838 the district office Rottenburg an der Laaber. The district court of Riedenburg came to the Hemau district. The two regional courts Abensberg and Kelheim henceforth formed the Kelheim District Office. In 1879 the area around Riedenburg was assigned to the Beilngries district office. In 1901 the area around Mainburg was detached from the Rottenburg an der Laaber district office and its own Mainburg district office was established. In 1908 a separate district office was formed in Riedenburg.

On April 1, 1927, the Kelheim district office handed over the municipalities of Laaberberg , Obereulenbach and Rohr in Lower Bavaria to the Rottenburg an der Laaber district office.

Counties

On January 1, 1939, the designation district was introduced as everywhere else in the German Reich . The district offices became the districts of Kelheim, Mainburg , Riedenburg and Rottenburg an der Laaber .

District of Kelheim

As part of the Bavarian district reform , today's Kelheim district was formed on July 1, 1972. Joined the old Kelheim district

The Kelheim district in turn gave the Bergmatting community to the Regensburg district.

Population development

The Kelheim district gained almost 22,000 inhabitants between 1988 and 2008 or grew by around 24%. He benefited from the proximity to the growth regions of Ingolstadt and Regensburg. In the period from 1988 to 2018, the population increased from 91,274 to 122,258 by 30,984 inhabitants or 34%.

Coat of arms of the Kelheim district
 Blazon : “Splitunder the shield head with the Bavarian diamonds ; divided in front by silver and blue with three, two to one, heraldic roses in mixed up colors; at the back diagonally divided by silver and black. "
