history

In the early Middle Ages Oberhinkofen was looked after by the Benedictine monastery of Prüll, and later by the Benedictine monastery of Mittelmünster in Regensburg.

From 1589 to 1780 Oberhinkofen belonged to the Jesuit College Sankt Paul in Regensburg. Then it formed a parish with Wolkering. Oberhinkofen has belonged to the parish of Obertraubling since 1817. On January 1, 1972, the previously independent municipality of Oberhinkofen, about 404 hectares in size and consisting of the two parts of the municipality of Oberhinkofen and Scharmassing , was incorporated into Obertraubling.

To the southwest of the village was the " Oberhinkofen training site ", which was used by the Regensburg barracks. Since 2011, parts of the terrain have been handed over by the Bundeswehr to the Federal Agency for Real Estate Tasks (BImA). 560 hectares were declared a “ National Natural Heritage ” in 2013 and are now managed by the German Federal Environment Foundation (DBU).
