history

The origins of Oepping (formerly Epping ) go back to before 1274. For centuries, Oepping was under the suzerainty of the Passau bishops .

During the Napoleonic Wars , the place was occupied several times. Since 1814, the place finally belongs to Upper Austria.

After the annexation of Austria to the German Reich on March 13, 1938, the place belonged to the Gau Oberdonau . After 1945 the restoration of Upper Austria took place.

Population development

In 1991 the municipality had 1,457 inhabitants according to the census, in 2001 it had 1,637 inhabitants. This peak was reached because both the birth balance and the migration balance were positive. From 2001 to 2011 there was an emigration that could not be offset by the positive birth balance, so that the population fell to 1,543 people.

politics

In the 2015 election, Thomas Bogner was elected mayor by the ÖVP with 94.6% of the vote.
