history
Already in the Younger Stone Age , ie 4000–1800 BC. BC, the first rural settlements of people in the Niederwinkling area can be ascertained. Around 500 BC The Celts settled in the area and grew wine. They were followed by the Romans at the birth of Christ . After the fall of the Roman Empire around 600 AD, Bavarian clans crossed the Danube and the Bavarian Winchilo settled here. A grandson of Winchilo, the free farmer Friedrich, gave his own church and eight courtyards to the Niederalteich monastery in 741 , where it remained until 1194.
The two places Oberwinkling and Niederwinkling were administered by different families of knights in the following years, until the widow of the knight Hans von Pürching gave Niederwinkling, Oberwinkling and Welchenberg to the Oberalteich monastery in 1657 , to which it belonged until the secularization in 1803. Parish edict In the course of the administrative reforms in Bavaria, the parish Niederwinkling came into being with the second parish edict of 1818, while the parish was called Oberwinkling. Since a common church was built between 1908 and 1910 in the middle between the two districts of Ober- and Niederwinkling, the districts grew closer and closer together.
Since the 2000s, due to its convenient location on the A3 motorway and its proximity to the Deggendorf motorway junction with the A92 motorway, the community of Niederwinkling has developed from an initially agricultural community to an industrial and commercial location.
Welchenberg is an old aristocratic seat. Small remains of the former castle, an “arx perelegans in monte” (original quote from Wening), can still be found on the “Schlossberg”. Welchenberg was first mentioned in a document in 750 AD, as the Benedictine monastery Niederalteich owned vineyards here. The Welchenberg family is attested to around 1100, and their line probably died out in the 14th century. From then on there were changing owners of Hofmark Welchenberg. From 1658 the Benedictines from Oberalteich determined the history of the place, who built a priory. The last noblewoman, Katharina von Pürching, had died childless and bequeathed the Hofmark to the monastery. In the same year they built a "courtyard tavern" with a brewery on today's state road. Secularization brought worldly owners. The large and stately brewery by village standards still exists and is now home to the famous Landgasthof Buchner. The castle, however, no longer properly maintained by the priests, because it was on the mountain and therefore difficult to reach, gradually fell into disrepair. The church of St. Mauritius from the early baroque period is beautifully situated on a ledge of the Schlossberg above the Danube plain.
