history

Mintraching

The place Mintraching was first mentioned as Muntrihhinga in 768 . However, traces of settlement of the oldest farming culture in Central Europe have also been discovered here. Traces of a Roman villa rustica have been found near the Herzogmühle . It was settled by the Bavarians (the ending -ing means that Germanic tribes permanently settled there). According to documents from 1148, the place belonged to the Niederaltaich monastery at that time . The monastery remained an important landlord in the place until the secularization in 1803.
