The village of Marching is a district of the city of Neustadt an der Donau in the Kelheim district in Lower Bavaria . Marching is part of the Hallertau . Until 1972 it formed an independent municipality.

location

The place is essentially on a high bank edge of the Danube valley , which already belongs to the Jura . Below the village are the oxbow lakes of the Danube, at the edges of which the B299 runs past the site. The city of Neustadt is almost opposite, accessible via the new Danube bridge on the southern bank of the Danube. East of the village, the Dettenbach flows into a rather long left arm of the Danube called the Old Danube. Regensburg is about 45 km to the east, Ingolstadt 30 km to the west. Munich is about 95 km south of the town.

history

Church with fig tower

Hand ax finds from the Paleolithic , the Paleolithic, prove the presence of the Neanderthals around 80,000 years ago. Settlements from the Neolithic , the New Stone Age, the Bronze Age and the Urnfield Culture are also documented by finds.

A Roman road which connected the forts Pförring and Eining is still used today as a corridor.

Marching is said to have been the "Möringen" mentioned in the Nibelungenlied , where the Nibelungs crossed the Danube on their train to the Hunnenland. Others consider the village of Großmehring near Ingolstadt to be the "Möringen" mentioned in the Nibelungenlied.

Marching itself is considered a real “ -ing- place” from the time of the Bavarian conquest and is interpreted as the “settlement of Maricho, the border guard”. The first written mention dates from the year 1031. It shows that the "parish Pförringe" received income from marching.

Two noble families are known from the 13th century, the "Grill" and the "Wimmer", who sat on the "Veste Märching". The "Wimmers" were also at times lords of Niederulrain . The castle, which belonged to the rulership of the Lords of Abensberg , was located at a strategically important point, above the Danube and the old "Salt Road", which is identical to today's B299. It was destroyed in the city ​​war between 1387 and 1389 , and today's church was built in its place. Parts of the church wall , a moat and a tower stump, popularly known as the Feiglturm , have been preserved from the castle. After its destruction, the place remained as an independent Hofmark in the domain of the Lords of Abensberg. Probably after their extinction, the Hofmark Marching came into the possession of the Rottenegg rulership .

In 1809 Marching was assigned to the Irnsing tax district . After its dissolution in 1815, the place achieved political independence for the first time, which it lost again on January 1, 1972 as part of a regional reform through integration into the city of Neustadt an der Donau.

church

The core of the church “Our Lady” comes from the Middle Ages . The tower was built in the Renaissance period around 1600.

Economy and Infrastructure

The village has 230 inhabitants and is still largely dominated by agriculture and forestry, with hop cultivation playing a special role. Residential areas have been designated in recent years. A quarry is located on site, where the coveted "Drosselfels coral limestone" is mined.
