The industrial city is located on the Danube plain , ten kilometers east of Regensburg , and is the second largest municipality in the district after Regenstauf . Neutraubling is one of five Bavarian expellee towns and was not created until after the Second World War .

City structure

There are four districts in total:

  • Birkenfeld (vacant area of ​​the later district of Birkenfeld near the Neutraubling community, given on April 1, 1951 by the Barbing community)
  • Lerchenfeld ( handed over to Neutraubling by the municipality of Rosenhof on May 1, 1978 )
  • Neutraubling
  • Oberheising (handed over to Neutraubling by the Barbing community on May 1, 1978)
  • Gärtnersiedlung (handed over to Neutraubling by the Barbing community on May 1, 1978, not an officially designated part of the community)

Neutraubling is the largest city in the Regensburg district , ahead of Hemau and Wörth an der Donau .

history

St. Michaels Square

Lerchenfeld

The first reliable mention of the family of the Lerchenfelder comes from the year 1171, but there are earlier references to the family and to a Bavarian noble seat that is said to have been destroyed during a Hungarian invasion in 926 . Gut Lerchenfeld has a chapel with St. Peter , which was consecrated in 1260 by Bishop Albertus Magnus . Late Gothic frescoes were discovered in the chapel in 1910 .

Oberheising

Oberheising has been owned by the Thurn und Taxis family since 1860 . The neighboring settlements Unter- and Mitterheising already belong to the municipality of Barbing. Heising was first mentioned in documents in 1209, but it is probably a much older Bavarian settlement whose name goes back to a Heizo or Hesso . From 1209 to the secularization of 1809, Heising belonged to the Stadtamhofer Katharinenkloster. The family name Heusinger also goes back to the name Heising.

Gardeners' settlement

The gardening settlement was founded in the post-war period. Since 1948, farmers from the eastern areas have been settled here by the Bavarian state settlement. Numerous nurseries shaped the image of the settlement.

Birch field

Birkenfeld in its current form was only created in 1953 from farmers from the eastern regions who had settled in the Bavarian state settlement . Before that, the town of Pirka, first mentioned in a document in 1068, was at this point. The name is also derived from here on the formerly marshy land around the Moosgraben growing birch trees. From 1264 until the 19th century, the Pirka estate was owned by the Heilig Kreuz convent , which is today remembered by the cross on the Neutraubling coat of arms. In the 19th century, King Ludwig I had the dead straight Walhallastraße built between Obertraubling and Barbing, which runs in the direction of the Walhalla and later became the main access road to Neutraubling. In 1933, some of the farming families who had been evacuated from the Grafenwöhr military training area settled in Pirka, which was then part of the Rosenhof community. In 1936 the settlement was completely demolished because of the construction of the military airfield. The Obertraubling military airfield was built from 1936 to 1938 on the undeveloped site of today's town of Neutraubling (except for Pirka, which belonged to the municipality of Rosenhof) , and from 1940 onwards it was also the production site of the Messerschmitt works . These built here u. a. the (later motorized) cargo glider Me 321 Gigant and the large transport aircraft Me 323 Gigant as well as the Me 262 , the world's first series-produced jet aircraft .

20th century

Aerial photo of the Messerschmitt works from summer 1943

At the end of 1940 the construction of the Messerschmitt forced labor camp began. To set up these workshops, 2200 German soldiers from the Grafenwöhr penal company were initially called in . As a result, this was replaced by so-called Eastern workers and mainly by Soviet prisoners of war (officers). To accommodate them, two so-called "Russian camps" were built on or right next to the factory premises. A total of around 2,750 prisoners had to live there under miserable conditions and do forced labor in aircraft production . From January 1941 to the end of 1943, large-scale transport aircraft (the so-called Messerschmitt giants), such as the Me 321 and Me 323 , were produced on the site . After the factory was placed under the administration of Messerschmitt GmbH in Regensburg at the beginning of 1942, large numbers of items were manufactured in Obertraubling. a. the Messerschmitt Bf 109 fighter aircraft (since August 1943) and Me 262 (since January 1944), so that with the Regensburg and Obertraubling locations a "focus of German fighter aircraft production" was created.

With the ongoing systematic bombing of all Messerschmitt factories in the Reich territory by Allied associations, the production facilities were systematically decentralized and relocated to camouflaged "forest works". The Obertraubling plant with its sufficiently large airfield was greatly upgraded in this context and "retained as the main logistical base", since the final assembly and the entry of the fighter planes, ie the tests for commissioning, could be carried out there. So was z. For example, the Me 262 jet fighter, on which the Nazi regime had high hopes for air warfare, was fully assembled and delivered in Obertraubling by April 23, 1945.

In the last months of the Second World War , the subcamp Obertraubling of the Flossenbürg concentration camp was built in the shell of the former casino building (on the site of today's town hall) , in which around 600 prisoners from various nations were interned from February 20 to April 16, 1945 . These prisoners had to maintain the airfields of the Messerschmitt factory. At least 174 of them died due to the miserable conditions and were buried north of the casino building. On April 16, 1945, the Obertraubling external command was disbanded by the SS. They took the sick and unable to march to the Dachau concentration camp by truck . The others had to go there on foot. According to a survivor's report, only about 25 people from this death march arrived alive in Dachau.

The concentration camp cemetery , which was laid out at the instigation of the American military authorities and inaugurated on June 17, 1950, was closed again six years later due to the central consolidation of graves of concentration camp inmates. A French special unit transferred the dead to the Flossenbürg Memorial. The cross from the concentration camp cemetery is now in the Neutraublinger cemetery, but so far without any reference to its origin. Building land was later designated on the former cemetery site.

The political municipality of Neutraubling did not emerge until April 1, 1951 from parts of the municipality of Barbing on the military airfield destroyed in air raids in 1944/45, which the Americans had designated as Airfield R.97 . Displaced persons from the former German eastern regions and all of Eastern Europe settled in the ruins of the airfield buildings . When the community was founded in 1951 through the outsourcing of the industrial estate from the community of Barbing , the number of residents was already 1,296, 93% of whom were displaced. Together with Kaufbeuren - Neugablonz , Geretsried , Traunreut and Waldkraiburg , Neutraubling is one of the Bavarian expellee towns / communities with a comparable war and post-war history.

The infrastructure of the remaining airfield facilities and the specialist knowledge of the displaced enabled a rapid development into the most important industrial location in the Regensburg district with companies of, in some cases, of far supraregional importance. This was accompanied by the influx of large numbers of guest workers from southern and southeastern Europe and especially Turkey in the 1960s and 1970s . Spätaussiedler from Eastern Europe have also moved to Neutraubling since the 1990s .

Neutraubling developed more and more into an industrial, school, medical and shopping town. The proportion of displaced persons in the total population steadily declined. A particular boost came in the 1980s when the BMW plant in Regensburg settled in the immediate vicinity.

In 1982 Neutraubling became the focus of national and international press interest. A ghost seemed to haunt a resident dentist's office. This ghost spoke from the spittoon and insulted patients, the doctor and others present. For weeks, technicians, criminologists and other specialists tried to explore the phenomenon and explain that even a so-called "ghost" initiated by the public prosecutor was initially unsuccessful. In the end, it turned out that the 16-year-old dental assistant along with the dentist and his wife with the ghost " Chopper " fooled the entire nation.

On June 13, 1986, the community of Neutraubling was elevated to the status of a city.

In 1998 Neutraubling moved again into the center of media interest. A fire broke out at the aerosol manufacturer Czewo, which is to remain the largest fire in post-war history in the Regensburg district to this day.

Incorporations

On May 1, 1978, the community was awarded the gardening settlement (previously to Barbing) and the two goods Oberheising (previously to Barbing) and Lerchenfeld (previously to Rosenhof).

Population development

Between 1988 and 2018 the city grew from 9,810 to 13,796 by 3,986 inhabitants or 40.6%.

coat of arms

Coat of arms of the city of Neutraubling
Blazon : “Through a curled red tip, inside a silver blank shield, split by silver and gold; in front a red patriarchal cross, behind a black cogwheel growing from the edge of the shield. "
Justification of the coat of arms: The patriarchal cross symbolizes the Regensburg monasteries, in particular the monastery Heilig Kreuz, which held the manorial rule over the municipality until modern times. The empty silver coat of arms represents all the places in the eastern German regions from which the vast majority of the population came when the city was founded. The black cog indicates its importance as an industrial community.

The coat of arms has been used since 1969.

Culture and sights

Apart from the chapel at Gut Lerchenfeld and a few preserved former military buildings in the center that still shape the cityscape, the young town has no other historical buildings. The road network with its straight and right-angled course still shows the structure of the air base very precisely. The city has a Catholic and a Protestant church. The evangelical church is disproportionately present due to the origin of the displaced people. Orthodox and Muslims are strongly represented among the foreign population.
