File number E-7-79-201-1

The approximately 400 meter long, almost dead straight and almost flat market square from east to west forms the core of the urban complex of Rain with the town hall and former hospital and is an ensemble.

Rain am Lech, Tilly monument

The extension and course of the street axis, which was formerly stretched between two late medieval city gates, document the original importance of this thoroughfare, trade and market street as the result of a historically and topographically favorable situation, given by a traffic junction of medieval trade routes. Road connections from Munich, Neuburg and Nuremberg converged approximately to the east of the town, with the northern connection leading directly to the Danube bridge and customs station between Niederschönenfeld and Marxheim , both of which were documented for the middle of the 13th century. The crossroads in front of the former Bayer- and Neuburger-Tor in the east crossed the city together over the extended street market from east to west and left it behind the town hall after a sharp bend to the north through the former Schwab- or Donauwörther Tor. From here the road led over the old Lech crossing to Donauwörth, to the upper Danube , to Neckar and Rhine .

Rain town hall

Rain was founded by the Bavarian Duke Otto II in the middle of the 13th century to protect this Lech crossing in connection with customs stations , directly as a city. Strongly fortified from the start, Rain, located in the innermost Bavarian Lech-Donau-Winkel, was of particular strategic importance as the extreme bulwark against Swabia for the Duchy and later Electorate of Bavaria . It became the administrative center for the Wittelsbach possessions on the lower eastern part of Lechrain with a caste office, later its own ducal-Bavarian regional court, and finally the nursing court and district court. As a border town, it also gained economic importance in the Middle Ages with stacking rights , salt deposition, cloth-making, dyeing and weaving trades.

The political decision to pay homage to Count Palatine Ruprecht and against Duke Albrecht of Munich in 1504 had direct economic consequences for the city: Loss of the right to salt deposition and commercial isolation due to changed national borders. Instead, its importance as a Bavarian border fortification increased; around 1600 the city was strongly fortified again. In the battle of Rain in 1632, the general Johann T'Serclaes von Tilly received his fatal wound. In 1803 the fortress was abandoned.

For the development of the planned city square with its late medieval floor plan and isolated houses from the 16th, but mostly the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries, the impression of unity is particularly characteristic. The mostly two-storey townhouses with alternating gable and eaves simultaneously convey an image of diversity due to different gable and eave heights, building widths and floor heights, to which the representative stepped and tail gables, which alternate with simple triangular gables, contribute. The houses, which are plastered throughout, sometimes show plastered structures and profiled cornices, gables with elevator hatches, and rarely flat bay windows.

The architectural focal point is the rococo building of the town hall, moved into the street square in the western part of the market, with its stately fronts: the gable facade to the east with risalit and square turret, the higher gable to the south with volutes. To the north of the town hall there is an irregular square formation, framed by gabled houses and the stately pharmacy of the 16th and 17th centuries. Century. East of the town hall is the monument to the general Tilly, at the opposite end of the street a Marienbrunnen. The former Bayer-Tor in the east is only marked by a narrowing of the street, the northwestern Donauwörther Tor over the old archway is modernized. In addition to the latter, the complex of the former hospital developed, which is typically located in medieval town planning near a gate area. Overall, the marketplace development shows the architectural proportions of a bourgeois small town with reference to trade and commerce.

City fortifications

File number D-7-79-201-1

Small, free-standing remains of the former walling have been preserved from the city fortifications, especially in the west, north and south and in connection with the castle area. This was originally in the 14./15. Erected in the 17th century, reinforced in 1600 and after the fortress was abolished from 1803 largely removed or built over and covered by buildings, some of the castle area was renewed.

Remarks

1. ↑ This list may not correspond to the current status of the official list of monuments. The latter can be viewed on the Internet as a PDF using the link given under web links and is also mapped in the Bavarian Monument Atlas . Even these representations, although they are updated daily by the Bavarian State Office for Monument Preservation , do not always and everywhere reflect the current status. Therefore, the presence or absence of an object in this list or in the Bavarian Monument Atlas does not guarantee that it is currently a registered monument or not. The Bavarian List of Monuments is also an information directory. The property of a monument - and thus the legal protection - is defined in Art. 1 of the Bavarian Monument Protection Act (BayDSchG) and does not depend on the mapping in the Monument Atlas and the entry in the Bavarian Monument List. Objects that are not listed in the Bavarian Monument List can also be monuments if they meet the criteria according to Art. 1 BayDSchG. Early involvement of the Bavarian State Office for Monument Preservation according to Art. 6 BayDSchG is therefore necessary in all projects.
