history

Until the church is planted

Lenting Castle around 1550 - drawing by Philipp Apian

Lenting town plan from 1813

Even in prehistoric times, people lived in what is now the municipality, as is shown by finds from the Neolithic , Iron and La Tène ages. In the Roman Empire , around 15 BC. A first road from Gaimersheim to Kösching led through Lenting to 160 AD . The Bavarians probably settled the place in the 6th century, it was first mentioned in 866, and in 1240 "Lentingen" (settlement of the Lanto clan) was mentioned in the Salbuch of the Bavarian dukes. An excavation in 1977 at the highest point in Lenting unearthed the remains of the walls of an “old castle ” from the 11th century, today only a prominent hill with a chapel reminds of this place. In 1300 Lenting becomes a parish. Until the end of the 13th century Lenting was owned by the Counts of Hirschberg ; since 1305 Lenting has belonged to the Wittelsbach family and thus to the Altbaiern . At that time the place belonged to the Rentamt München and to the district court Vohburg of the Electorate of Bavaria . In 1378 Lenting became a fiefdom of the "Noble Fixed Chunnrat der Ellenbrunners", followed in 1479 by the nobleman Conrad von Grumbach , later his descendant Friedrich von Grumbach.

Duke Rupprecht had the place burned down in the Landshut War of Succession in 1504. The Lenting fiefdom was subsequently owned by the Schlickh counts of Passau, and Wigulaeus Hundt zu Sulzemoos in 1575 . He was followed in 1605 by Georg Purchhauser auf Zülling, and in 1621 by Johann Franziskus von Lichtenau. In the meanwhile raging Thirty Years War , 116 of the 300 inhabitants died from the plundering Swedes and the plague introduced in 1632 ; the Romanesque church and the rectory fall victim to the flames. A new church was consecrated in 1661 after 32 years of construction. In 1730 Lenting came to the Count of Lodron , and in 1740 to Joseph Felix Müller von Gnadenegg. In 1743 the Lentingen Castle was devastated by the Austrians ; It was rebuilt in 1746. The last noble Hofmark owners are Josef Heinrich von Pechmann and the nobles von Stubenrauch. In 1818, the Bavarian municipal edict gave rise to today's municipality.

At the 1861 census, the place had 409 residents and 175 buildings.

20th and 21st centuries

Until the middle of the 20th century, Lenting was economically shaped by agriculture and traditional craft businesses. A certain degree of industrialization did not take place until 1900 with the construction of a steam brick , and a sawmill followed in 1904. The construction of the Reichsautobahn from 1936, when Lenting received the construction lot for the material supply for the route north of Ingolstadt, created several more jobs. The station on the Ingolstadt-Riedenburg railway line , which was built in 1903 and opened to passenger traffic in 1904 , was used as a replenishment point mainly for gravel and sand, but also as a canteen for the numerous day laborers. In 1972 passenger and in 1991 freight trains were discontinued in favor of omnibus traffic, which was ultimately limited to the transport of sugar beet.

After the Second World War, the increasing mechanization of agriculture and the influx of a large number of displaced people, the image of Lenting gradually changed from a farming village to that of a modern residential community. In the 1960s, Auto Union and the Richard-Bruhn-Hilfe affiliated with it built a housing estate for their workers in Lenting with 226 of the originally planned 500 apartments in eleven apartment blocks; Within ten years the population doubled to 2,700; With the newly designated industrial area in 1965, numerous new commercial and industrial companies settle: Phönix Rheinrohr, Merck & Cie., Stahlhandel Lübeck, the Transalpine Oelleitung and Forster and Sons are just a few of their names. In 1975 the community won a silver medal in the national competition “ Our village should be more beautiful ”.

Ernst Rauwolf, the headmaster at the time, made the design and the municipal heraldist Max Reinhart from Passau was commissioned to design the coat of arms .

In 1927 the Catholic Church built a nurses' house with a “children's custody” on Wettstettener Strasse, which was expanded by another building in the 1950s. In 1972 the St. Nikolaus kindergarten was inaugurated in a former quarry, which also contained the “Zehentstadl”, and in 1991 the St. Josef kindergarten on Beethovenstrasse. After a new parsonage was built on the grounds of the Nikolaus Kindergarten in 1998, the building on Wettstettener Strasse, which had been used as a youth center and as a “tea cup”, fell victim to the wrecking ball.

The Lentinger community library was opened on September 16, 1979 by Mayor Michael Mirlach and Dean Adalbert Regner. It initially found its place on the ground floor of the Lenting elementary school. Annual investment in new media and the rapid increase in readership soon led to a lack of space. In October 1984 the library moved into its new premises in the new town hall. Numerous author readings were held during its 30th anniversary, which was celebrated in September 2009, as well as prize puzzles, fairy tale hours and book exhibitions.

A church building is said to have stood in Lenting as early as the 9th century; No further details are known about this. In the 13th century, the patronage right was granted to the Counts of Hirschberg, which Count Gebhard von Hirschberg transferred to the Eichstätter cathedral chapter. The Bishop of Eichstätt was finally awarded the village court of Lenting in 1305, the Duke of Munich the regional court. The originally Romanesque church, including its wall and tower, were restored for the first time in 1604; In 1630, however, the old church tower was demolished, which in 1651 had to be restored again after the Thirty Years' War. In 1652 a choir was built under an open tiled roof in the previously dark church, three windows were broken in and a wooden vault was drawn in. In 1730, well done the Baroque style of the church with a new ceiling, stucco and frescoes that Michael Anton Prunthaller should have run. It was not until the 19th and 20th centuries that the church gained its present-day appearance: initially extended to the west, the church was extended by two aisles and the side walls were replaced by pillars with wide arcades. On June 1, 1927, this church building was consecrated in its - still existing - trains.

Dean Joseph Guttenberger (1883–1945), who took over the parish of Lenting in 1925, was largely responsible for this church renovation . As a field chaplain in the First World War , the parish preacher at the cathedral to the Beautiful Our Lady in Ingolstadt was initially given the position of "Episcopal Commissary for Prisoner Pastoral Care". After taking over the parish of Lenting, in addition to expanding the church, he also enlarged the cemetery, built a morgue and a children's home and founded the church building association. Although he was the bearer of the Iron Cross , Guttenberger was a passionate opponent of National Socialism when it spread to Lenting. With his conviction, spread from the pulpit that "National Socialism means war" or the designation of the Nazis as "inhuman and anti-faith mob", he became a "pest of the people", as such he was arrested on June 30, 1933 in Baar-Ebenhausen and sent to the Dachau concentration camp from which he was released after a week. It was not until decades later that it became known that Guttenberger was known to be a deficit of professorships with Gebhard Himmler, who taught at the humanistic grammar school, and Heinrich Himmler's father , and that he probably mediated the dismissal. His time in Dachau and the realization that the Nazis lasted longer than expected hit him hard, as did the Concordat Treaty between the German Reich and the Vatican. The passionate preacher became a monotonous preacher of the gospel, who died on January 17, 1945 at the age of just 62 years. In his memory, the "Guttenbergerstrasse" was named. Pastor Josef Heigl currently looks after the parishes of Lenting and Hepberg together with the Indian chaplain Benjamin Pereira.

The Protestant community center St. Paulus was built in the early 1960s as a temporary facility north of the Auto-Union settlement. It should be followed by a Protestant church and a Protestant kindergarten. After the prognoses for a development of Protestantism within the community boundaries were not fulfilled despite the influx from the areas of the former Eastern Bloc at the beginning of the 1990s, the Protestant parish decided to build a new church with a community center in Kösching.

While the school sports activities have been taking place in the "old gym" and an aging school sports field since 1958, the first triple gym in the Eichstätt district was inaugurated in 1977. The discussion about a sports center at the “Bergfürst”, which began and continued due to the local elections in 1978 and the change in political majorities, ultimately led to a school and recreational sports facility near the school grounds completed in 1981 and to a building complex in a daring barrel construction completed in 1991.
