The village of Mühlhausen is part of the town of Neustadt an der Donau in the Kelheim district ( Lower Bavaria ) and belongs to the Hallertau . Until 1978 it formed an independent municipality.

location

The place is on the southern edge of the Danube valley in the last foothills of the Hallertau hill country. Neustadt an der Donau is 3 km to the north. To the south the place borders on the large wooded areas of the Dürnbuch Forest , to the north the plains of the Danube floodplains begin. The place essentially extends on both sides of the former federal highway 299 . Regensburg is 45 km to the northeast, Ingolstadt is 35 km to the west. Munich is 90 km south of the town.

history

The area of ​​the current place Mühlhausen also includes the area of ​​the former parish village Forstdürnbuch . After both places had grown together spatially over the centuries, Forstdürnbuch initially lost its independence as a parish and later also its political independence to Mühlhausen when the political communities were formed in 1818 . In the village itself, the division into the lower (Mühlhausen) and upper village (Forstdürnbuch) is still present, although the place name Forstdürnbuch has been abolished since 1969.

The place Mühlhausen was first mentioned around the year 1000, when a "Udalrich de Mulhouse" was named as the owner of a Sedelhof . The settlement itself, however, is likely to have been much older and developed as a clearing island in the then much larger Dürnbuch forest. It can be assumed that the first houses of today's Mühlhausen were built in the second half of the 8th century by that of Duke Tassilo III. Münchsmünster Monastery founded for this purpose .

Forstdürnbuch was named in the oldest Duke Surbar in 1240 . It is obvious that the Forstdürnbuch settlement was also built by the Münchsmünster monastery much earlier. Even more than the word Mühlhausen, the name Forstdürnbuch says that this place is a settlement in the middle of the forest "Thyrrenpuech".

Karpfenstein Castle: Michael Wening around 1700

In the past, the place gained a certain supra-regional importance because it was located on the very busy, economically important salt road Salzburg-Nuremberg, today's B299. In the 17th century there was a Hofmark in the area of ​​what is now the hamlet of Karpfenstein . It belonged to the Lords of Stinglheim , among others , who built a castle there that no longer exists and operated a pond.

According to the various Wittelsbach inheritance divisions, Mühlhausen always belonged to Upper Bavaria . It was only with the assignment in 1779 to the district of the Straubing Rent Office that the basis for assignment to Lower Bavaria was laid. As part of the reorganization of the administrative districts in 1838, Mühlhausen became part of the Niederbayern administrative district and later (1862) the Kelheim district office . When the town was incorporated into the city of Neustadt an der Donau as part of the municipal reform , Mühlhausen lost its independence on January 1, 1978.

Economy and Infrastructure

Mühlhausen has developed into a popular place to live. In the place, however, there is still an agricultural and forestry structure. The specialty culture of hops has always played a particularly important role. Numerous hop gardens in the village shape the image of Mühlhausen. Simon Wittmann from Forstdürnbuch is said to have been the founder of modern hop cultivation in the northern Hallertau by importing and cultivating hop roots from the “Saaz region” in the 18th century . More recently, asparagus has also been grown. The place has about 1,200 inhabitants.

Churches

The old parish church was demolished in 1948 with the exception of the tower. The rococo altar from 1760 is located in the Mariahilf Chapel in Eichstätt. The abandoned church was replaced by a new building from 1932 on the southern outskirts. The Mühlhausen church of St. Vitus is regionally known primarily for its splendid painting, which was designed in 1945 by Julius Noè. The church of St. Jakob is the church of the formerly independent parish of Forstdürnbuch. It dates from the 12th century. At the eastern exit of the village is the "Wittmann Chapel", built in 1842 by Mrs. Barbara Wittmann in memory of her deceased husband.
