geography

Geographical location

Neuötting is located at an altitude of around 390 m above sea level on a foothill of the high gravel terrace, which is bordered by the Inn in the north and the Mörnbach in the southwest. The districts in Alzgern belonging to the Neuötting municipality are located east of the city between the Inn and the Alz, which flows into it here . In the south, the Öttinger Forest borders the Alzgerner settlement area.

It is located around 70 km north of Salzburg , 80 km southwest of Passau and just under 100 km east of Munich .

City structure

There are 36 districts:

Outside the old town are the suburbs of St. Sebastian , St. Anna and the fishing suburb . The 35 places of the former municipality of Alzgern east of Neuötting were incorporated on July 1, 1971.

history

The beginnings of settlement

Archaeological finds from prehistoric times prove the long history in the area of ​​Neuötting and Alzgern. The first traces of settlement include a flint find near Alzgern and a stone ax from the late Neolithic that was found near Roja in 1909. Other finds range from the Bronze and Latène Ages to finds from Roman and Bavarian times.

A larger settlement complex from the Roman Empire is assumed in the area around Neuötting, in the area between Simbacher Strasse and the A 94 motorway. This thesis is supported by numerous individual finds in this area as well as the discovery of a Roman grave complex at Michaelifeld in 1998.

“Autingas” - the beginnings of Oetting

Oetting first appeared in history in the year 748. The place appears in its Latinized form of name "autingas" on a Latin document. The core of the settlement was in the area of ​​today's Altötting, in the area of Kapellplatz . Here was a court of the Bavarian Duke Tassilo , the most important ducal seat in Bavaria after Regensburg. In the 9th century Oetting was already a royal palace.

From the market to the city

Neuötting is first mentioned in a document from 1231, in which the separation of names between Alt- and Neuötting is first documented in writing: "vetus Odingen ... a porta fori scilicet novi Odingen" (the old Odingen ... in front of the market gate of the new Odingen). This already points to an existing market settlement, the creation of which is likely to have taken place soon after 1200 by the Wittelsbach dukes.

In the years that followed, the settlement developed into a flourishing community with a customs post, market and a mint. Neuötting was first referred to as a city in 1296. The first mention of a town charter is in 1316, the oldest surviving record is dated from 1321.

City law and seal

The Neuöttingen city ​​law comprises a total of 114 articles. It served as a template for a number of other city rights, such as B. the town charter of Schärding (Upper Austria). In it the administration of justice, the coexistence of the citizens as well as trade and handicraft were regulated. The city exercised the "lower jurisdiction". This did not include the conviction of death-worthy crimes (high jurisdiction) such as robbery, assault, rape and murder.

The city has had a seal with the Madonna in the octagon of the Altötting Chapel since the 14th century . The oldest main seal, which was made before 1321, shows the chapel without the Gothic additions. In later seals the building is shown alternately round and octagonal.

Duke town and trading town

Bogner Epitaph 1588: Oldest town view of Neuötting

Thanks to its location at the intersection of two important trade routes, Neuötting developed relatively quickly into an important trading town: the Inn and the trade route between Regensburg and Salzburg . In addition, the city was well protected on the mountain terrace that sloped steeply on three sides and was easy to defend. The Wittelsbach Dukes pursued a clear strategic goal with the establishment Neuoetting: it was directed against the Salzburg city Mühldorf and Tittmoning in the struggle for control of the trade routes.

In addition to the grain trade, the most important source of income was the salt trade. The salt came by water from Hallein and Reichenhall over the rivers Salzach and Inn to Neuötting and was transported from here by land to Munich and Regensburg and to areas outside of Bavaria. When the salt deficit was finally abolished in 1649, it was an economic loss for Neuötting.

In addition to its importance as a trading town, Neuötting has also been the seat of numerous ducal offices such as the toll office and the nursing court since the 14th century . The city was not only one of the largest trading centers in the region, but its offices, its mint and the ducal castle made it an important administrative center of the Inn-Salzach area. The degree of importance Neuötting at that time can also be read from the fact that the city had its own Oettinger measure and weight.

The city fire in 1797 and its consequences

The great city fire of 1797 marked a decisive turning point in the historical urban development, as a result of which large parts of the city were destroyed and Neuötting lost its role as an important official residence. As a result of the political reforms under State Minister Count von Montgelas (1759–1838) and the Neuöttingen city fire in 1797, many offices were relocated or permanently canceled at the beginning of the 19th century. These included the forestry court , the maintenance court and the toll office. In 1822 Neuötting also lost its function as a garrison town.

Urban development in the 19th and 20th centuries

Despite this historical turning point, Neuötting remained an important trading and market place for the surrounding area in the 19th century. Important merchant and entrepreneurial families were based here, such as B. the merchant family Cartier from Savoy or the ship master family Riedl.

Up until the beginning of the 20th century, urban development was limited to the historical districts: the medieval town center between Burghauser and Landshuter Tor with its side streets, the Sebastiani suburb, the district “Unter den Lederern” (today Mühlgasse), and St Anna and the Fischer suburbs. Only recently have new residential areas been added to the Bürgerwald and between the old town and the Inn. The industrial areas in the west and east of the city and north of the Inn on the federal motorway 94 are even younger .

In 1971 the municipality of Alzgern was incorporated into the districts of Untereschelbach, Schwepfing, Alzgern, Mitterhausen, Jaubing and Mittling. The municipal area today covers an area of ​​37 km² and the population is around 8,500.

Population development

Between 1988 and 2018, the city grew from 7,723 to 8,932 by 1,209 inhabitants or 15.7%.

Cityscape

The historical cityscape is derived directly from the topography: on a high plateau which is three quarters of the length of the old town with slopes falling steeply on 3 sides (west, south and north), the layout of the old town follows the elongated one that is widened in the middle Market square, at the ends of which there is a city gate ( Burghauser and Landshuter Tor ). On both sides of the market square there are alleys, some of which are separated from the square by candle arches . The architecture is characterized by the Inn-Salzach style , which is also found in the old towns of neighboring cities, such as Mühldorf a. Inn and Tittmoning . The town's landmark is the parish church of St. Nicholas , a large three-aisled hall church from the late Gothic period (1410–1492). Because of its exposed location at the western end of the high plateau, it is visible from a great distance.

traffic

Neuötting is connected to the superordinate road network via the A 94 motorway , junction no. 23 (Neuötting), the federal highways B 299 and B 588 .

The Royal Bavarian State Railways put the station into operation on May 1, 1871.
