geography
Geographical location
The municipality of Pettendorf is located on the southern foothills of the greater Franconian Jura and is mainly important as a residential and suburb of Regensburg , from whose city center the main town of Pettendorf is about eight kilometers as the crow flies. In the municipality of Pettendorf the Naab flows into the Danube near Mariaort .
geology
In the municipality there are several erosions that have exposed primeval compact rock and in which stone was mined over centuries. According to tradition, stone was not only mined in the many quarries in the municipality for the local settlers, but also for the construction of the Regensburg Cathedral and the Stone Bridge .
Particularly noteworthy is the mining of green sandstone , which has been proven to be used in many buildings in Regensburg in the Middle Ages . In the western part of the municipality, near Etterzhausen , a quarry , in which dolomite was extracted, was operated until very recently. There used to be an important limestone quarry near Ebenwies.
After the end of the Second World War , the mining of lignite in the municipality was of particular importance for some time . Drilling after 1900 had located some brown coal deposits near Schwetzendorf and Reifenthal.
Expansion of the municipal area
The area of the municipality extends about seven kilometers to the north, the largest east-west extension is about six kilometers. The municipality is bordered by the Danube in the south and the Naab in the west. The plateau of the municipality is about 450 m above sea level. Mariaort, located on the Danube, is 344 m above sea level.
Neighboring communities
Neighboring communities of Pettendorf are the city of Regensburg and the communities of Lappersdorf , Pielenhofen , Wolfsegg , Sinzing and Nittendorf .

climate
Due to its location on the leeward side of the Franconian Alb, the Pettendorfer area is one of the regions in Bavaria with a rainfall of 600 to 700 mm. The average temperature variation is 19 K . The southern part of the municipality on the Danube is characterized by average temperatures around one to two degrees warmer than the northern part.
history
Origins
The origins of today's municipality of Pettendorf are probably in the area of the old municipality of Kneiting, on the rivers of the Danube and Naab . This open space belonged to the old Bavarian settlement area, while the area of the old community of Pettendorf was forested until the high Middle Ages and was only opened up by settlers around the year 1000 .
Prehistoric and early historical traces can be found mainly on the Danube near Mariaort and Kneiting and on the Naab near Deckelstein. It is worth mentioning in particular the discovered from Mariaorter farmers Listl plowing in 1888 hillside grave in the meadow Long fields on the Greifenberg near Kneiting. The grave goods found in it come from the Bronze or Hallstatt Period . Further prehistoric finds, especially flint blades , were found on the Naab near Deckelstein in the early 1960s. In addition, several relics of the small Mesolithic were found near Schwetzendorf, north of the Quellenweg .
A remarkable concentration of weapons and tools from prehistoric times up to pieces from the Middle Ages was found on the Danube near Mariaort. The finds also included two coins from Roman times . The assumption is that this place was used for river crossing in ancient times . The finds from the Danube and the additions from the burial mound on the Greifenberg are exhibited in the Historical Museum of the City of Regensburg.
The Bavarian State Office for Monument Preservation has qualified a total of 23 ground monuments in the area of the municipality of Pettendorf , many of which are attributed to prehistory. Several archaeological monuments can be found in the area of Kneiting and Mariaort as well as around the main town Pettendorf. North of Pettendorf, near Neudorf, there may also be a former manor from the Hallstatt period . All monuments in the area of the municipality of Pettendorf were re-qualified.
From Roman times to the founding of the town (179 to 1000)
In the 2nd century, the border of the Roman Empire ran on the southern edge of today's municipality of Pettendorf. On the opposite side of the Danube from Mariaort was the Prüingen small fort , which was built around the year 179 and was supposed to be used to observe Germanic advances from the Pettendorfer Valley or across the Naab. The location of the Roman fort indicates that the Pettendorfer area already served as a deployment base for advances into the central town of Regensburg in antiquity . In addition, according to Manfred Kroneder, it seems likely that the Romans maintained a settlement post near Kneiting, north of the Danube. Kroneder points out that some topographical peculiarities and later historical developments suggest that the Romans from Kneiting cultivated vineyards near Winzer (today a district of Regensburg). The historian Joseph Rudolf Schuegraf also referred to a strategically important Roman watch and signal tower north of the Danube near Kneiting.
The main town of Pettendorf was first mentioned in 1028 in a document from the Regensburg St. Emmeram Monastery . A farmer named Patto, Petto or Bato (Bato; Old High German for battle), who is said to have founded the settlement around the turn of the millennium, is listed as the founder of the village. However, settlement by the Agilolfingers seems likely during the migration period , especially since Pettendorf was one of the most important places in the district in the Middle Ages . Most of the other settlements in the municipality of Pettendorf are documented in the 13th century.
The Lords of Pettendorf and their heirs (1000 to 1262)
After the year 1000 Pettendorf was in the main town in present-day church and cemetery area, a castle that must have dominated by their altitude from the surrounding area. There are no more remains of this castle, but grave diggers repeatedly come across subterranean wall remains in the cemetery area, which can probably be assigned to the former fortress. The fact that it must have been a mighty castle also results from the fact that in the 11th century the owners of the complex called themselves Herren von Pettendorf-Lengenfeld-Hopfenohe .
The last lord of Pettendorf, Friedrich III., Died between 1112 and 1119 without a male descendant and decreed in his will that the castle complex should be converted into a monastery . This legacy was fulfilled by his heir, Heilika, and his son-in-law, Count Palatine Otto IV , the first Wittelsbacher . However, the monastery closed again after a few years, and the castle area fell back to the donor family.
After the Wittelsbachers took over the ducal office in Bavaria in 1180, the Pettendorf castle apparently became important again in the struggle for the previously independent imperial city of Regensburg. This results from the fact that the Wittelsbachers had one of their few ministerials stationed in Pettendorf from the end of the 12th century. Many documents from this time also refer to the “Office of Pettendorf”.
After a lost war, the Wittelsbachers had to restrict their territorial policy around Regensburg after 1259. The Ministeriale was withdrawn and the castle was converted back into a monastery.
The period of the Dominican convent (1262 to 1542)
The second founding of the monastery in the main town of Pettendorf is mentioned in a document before 1262. For the construction of the monastery, the previous fortress was apparently razed and the convent buildings were erected on the remains of the castle. In documents from the years 1274 and 1277 it is mentioned that the almost completed monastery complex in Pettendorf was destroyed by fire and robbery. The current Romanesque church is likely to be the last architectural remnant of the destroyed monastery.
From 1274 the construction of a new monastery complex on the Adlersberg began . The facility there is always referred to in documents as "Neu-Pettendorf", which proves the connection with the destroyed monastery in Pettendorf. Ludwig the Strict is named as the founder of the monastery . The monastery was run as a women's convent by the Dominican order and was under the sovereignty of the Regensburg monastery of St. Blasius.
In the course of the Landshut War of Succession , the northern area around Regensburg was the deployment area of the Bavarian troops in September 1504, who had pitched their camp on the Greifenberg near Kneiting. From there, the mercenaries devastated the surrounding area in such a way that some farms in the area of the old municipality of Pettendorf were still fallow fifty years later as a result of the fighting . The monastery on the Adlersberg was also seriously affected.
As a result of the Landshut War of Succession, the area of the old municipality of Pettendorf no longer belonged to the Duchy of Bavaria , but to the newly founded Principality of Pfalz-Neuburg . The places Kneiting and Mariaort, however, remained Bavarian. In the period that followed, boundary stones were erected between Kneiting, Aichahof and Hinterberg, some of which can still be seen in the corridors today. Mariaort became a border town and as such a customs post.
A political separation that lasted more than three hundred years began for both parts of the community. While the area around Pettendorf was administered by the Palatinate-Neuburg regional judge's office in Burglengenfeld , the places Kneiting and Mariaort were subordinate to the Bavarian district judge in Stadtamhof .
There was another turning point for the old community of Pettendorf in 1542 with the conversion of the princes of Pfalz-Neuburg to the Protestant faith . This sovereign change of denomination led in the same year to the abolition of the monastery on the Adlersberg and to the rededication of the old parish of Pettendorf into a Protestant parish .
The chaos of war and loss of importance (1542 to 1939)
Shortly after the change of denomination, in 1546, Emperor Karl V occupied the possessions of the princes of Palatinate-Neuburg during the Schmalkaldic War and thought about repopulating the Catholic monastery on the Adlersberg. However, after the course of the war had changed to the disadvantage of Charles V, he had to return the occupied territories to the princes of Palatinate-Neuburg, with whom Protestantism returned.
During the Protestant phase, the important humanist Kaspar Brusch should be mentioned in particular , who worked as a Protestant pastor in the parish of Pettendorf from 1555 until his murder. In 1613 the princes of Palatinate-Neuburg returned to the Catholic Church, which ended the Protestant interlude in the old community of Pettendorf.
During the Thirty Years' War , the area around Pettendorf was again used as a deployment area for the armies of various nations in 1632 and 1641. There is evidence of billeting in the monastery complex on the Adlersberg, where the Regensburg Heilig-Kreuz convent was working on the resettlement at the time and ultimately failed due to the consequences of the war. As a result of the effects of the war, the population in the municipal area decreased by more than 60%, and many farms were vacant in the period that followed.
After 1676, the old Klosterhofmark Adlersberg with the farms around Pettendorf belonged to the Cistercian monastery Kaisheim , which managed this property until secularization . The administration of the municipality was carried out at this time by the subpriorate of the Reichsstift in Pielenhofen . The monastery took care of the renewal of the destroyed parish church in Pettendorf, the renovation of the Adlersberg church and the construction of the first schoolhouse in Pettendorf.
As early as 1703, the Pettendorfer area was again included in the war. During the War of the Spanish Succession, the Bavarian Elector Max Emanuel besieged the imperial city of Regensburg in order to incorporate it into his principality. Again the farms in the surrounding area were used to supply the Soldateska.
After the line of the Neuburg Counts Palatinate died out, they were inherited by the Pfalz-Sulzbach line in 1742 , which the Bavarian Wittelsbach family also inherited in 1777 . The Wittelsbachers abolished the Duchy of Palatinate-Neuburg / Sulzbach in 1808 and united its parts of the country with the new Kingdom of Bavaria . The area around Pettendorf became Bavarian again.
As a result of the Napoleonic Wars , the area around Pettendorf again became the scene of warlike events in 1809. After the battle of Regensburg , the imperial Austrian troops withdrew across the hilly municipal area, among other places. The Adlersberg estate was sacked for a long time by Austrian soldiers and Napoleon's troops advancing. According to the parish records, all supplies were confiscated and the furniture smashed.
In the course of the extensive administrative reform under Montgelas , Pettendorf became the seat of an authority again. At the previous noble seat (today's Amann-Hof), which was acquired in 1798 by the ennobled, rich Regensburg businessman Georg Friedrich von Dittmer , a second class patrimonial court was set up in 1809 . Pettendorf thus became a judicial district, responsible for the low level of jurisdiction exercised by Baron von Thon-Dittmer. After his death († 1811) jurisdiction fell to his son-in-law Karl Christian von Thon-Dittmer († 1831) and after his death to his son Friedrich († 1847), under whose suzerainty the patrimonial courts of Pettendorf and Etterzhausen were merged in 1825. In 1848 the patrimonial courts in Bavaria were abolished and Pettendorf lost its function as the seat of the authorities.
After the eventful history of past centuries, the predominantly agricultural community of Pettendorf did not appear historically from the middle of the 19th century until the Second World War.
Second World War and the post-war period (1939 to 1950)
During the Second World War, there was a flak position near Kneiting , which was stationed there to combat air raids against the Messerschmitt works on the other side of the Danube . Several Allied bombs also hit the area of the municipality of Pettendorf and especially the area near Kneiting and Mariaort. Nevertheless, the area around Pettendorf was spared the severe consequences of the war, and the US Army occupied the municipality on April 23, 1945 without fighting on their way to Regensburg.
After the Second World War there was a shortage of fuel in all of Germany, and people remembered the lignite deposits found near Schwetzendorf and Reifenthal , the development of which began after 1945. Two pits were set up for mining - a pit for open - cast mining only northeast of Schwetzendorf and a pit for combined opencast and civil engineering between Haselhof and Schwetzendorf.
The workforce of the mine near Haselhof reached its peak in 1949 with 129 men and in January 1949 it had a capacity of 3,358 tons of lignite, which was mined in opencast and underground mining. The mine near Schwetzendorf only mined coal in open-cast mining and employed an average of around 50 people. The effectiveness of the Schwetzendorfer mine was significantly higher; around 150 tons of coal were mined there every day. During the short operating time, around 180,000 tons of coal were mined near Schwetzendorf and mostly delivered to the citizens of Regensburg.
After the transport links to the Ruhr area were reopened in 1949/50 , the demand for domestic coal, which had only a low calorific value, sank rapidly, which ultimately led to the mining operations being closed. The coal mining left a pit between Haselhof and Schwetzendorf, which slowly filled with water and subsequently developed into a popular local recreation area in the Regensburg area. The lake was officially named "Schwetzendorfer Weiher", although many locals still call it "Bergwerksee" (or "Kohlenschacht") to this day.
Modern (1950 to today)
Located in the northwest of Regensburg, the area around Pettendorf came under the influence of the neighboring city of Regensburg in the last few decades . The area, which was once completely agriculturally oriented, was transformed into a popular residential and excursion area due to brisk construction activity, which has not yet been completed.
Religions
The municipality of Pettendorf belongs to the Roman Catholic parish Pettendorf, which also includes other districts of the municipality of Pielenhofen. The churches in Pettendorf, Kneiting and Adlersberg are each looked after by the Roman Catholic parish in Pettendorf. The church in Mariaort belongs to the Roman Catholic parish of Sinzing. The next Evangelical Lutheran parish is located in Lappersdorf.
Between 1542 and 1613 the old parish of Pettendorf was Protestant and the seat of a Protestant pastor as a result of the conversion of the princes of Palatinate-Neuburg to whose rule the parish belonged at that time. Kaspar Brusch deserves a special mention among the evangelical pastors in Pettendorf at this time . The Protestant interlude ended after the reigning Count Palatine Wolfgang Wilhelm returned to the Catholic faith.
In the municipality of Pettendorf there have been monasteries of various orders in Pettendorf and on the Adlersberg over the centuries. The former monastery church on the Adlersberg was able to maintain its importance as a place of pilgrimage to the Virgin Mary for a long time (a larger pilgrimage was recently that of the Regensburg citizens in thanks for being spared an Allied air raid in World War II). The church in Mariaort is still an important place of pilgrimage to Mary.
Incorporations
On May 1, 1978, the previously independent municipality of Kneiting was incorporated into the municipality of Pettendorf.
Administrative communities
From 1978 to 2002 the community of Pettendorf formed an administrative community with the neighboring communities of Pielenhofen and Wolfsegg . In 2002 the municipality of Pettendorf left this administrative community and has been running an independent municipal administration ever since. The communities Wolfsegg and Pielenhofen have since formed the Pielenhofen-Wolfsegg administrative community , whose headquarters were relocated from Pettendorf to Wolfsegg in 2002.
Population development
Between the middle of the 19th century and the beginning of the Second World War, the population of the old communities of Pettendorf and Kneiting remained relatively constant. As a result of the influx of refugees after the Second World War, the population reached its temporary high of around 1,800 in 1948. From the 1970s onwards, the municipality increasingly transformed into a residential municipality in the neighboring city of Regensburg, which caused the population to rise rapidly due to the brisk construction activity. As a result of the ongoing construction activity and in view of the planned designation of further building areas, a further increase in population is to be expected in the next few years.
Between 1988 and 2018 the municipality grew from 2,676 to 3,403 by 727 inhabitants or by 27.2%.

coat of arms
The official coat of arms of the municipality of Pettendorf was only introduced by a municipal council resolution from 1983. It shows a lily and a star as well as the head of the Countess Palatine Heilika in the colors blue and silver. The coat of arms is reminiscent of the ancestral mother of the Wittelsbach dukes who, as the heir to the Lords of Pettendorf-Lengenfeld-Hopfenhohe, brought the Pettendorf inheritance to the Wittelsbach family by marrying Count Palatine Otto IV. The colors blue and silver are also intended to further clarify the connection to the Wittelsbach family. The symbols of the Virgin Mary and Star are reminiscent of the Marian pilgrimage sites on the Adlersberg and in Mariaort.
Culture and sights
- Parish Church of St. Margaretha in Pettendorf : The church was probably built on the remains of the walls of the castle of the Lords of Pettendorf. The first donor of the church is believed to be the last lord of Pettendorf, Friedrich III, on whose instructions the castle was transformed into a monastery for the first time at the beginning of the 12th century. About 50 years later it was rededicated from the monastery to the Wittelsbach castle. Around 1260 the castle was again converted into a monastery. This monastery complex was later destroyed by fire. Today's church is likely to be the only remnant of this former monastery complex, which suggests a north exit to the probably burned down convent building that is still visible today. After the monastery was relocated to the Adlersberg, the church was used by the Pettendorf parish, which is listed as such in the oldest diocese directory from 1326. The current interior of the church in the Baroque and Neo-Baroque styles was probably made after the fire in 1666 and was not fully completed until the beginning of the 20th century. The high altar and probably also the crucifixion group come from the Augustinian Church in Regensburg, which was demolished in 1838 . A medieval earth stable was also found near the church .
- Pettendorf Castle : The manor house that previously supplied the castle remained in the possession of the Wittelsbach rulers after the second monastery was founded in the 1260s. The basic structure of the Herrenhof is still evident in the townscape today ("Amann-Hof"). In the course of the peace treaty of 1505, the manor house passed from the Wittelsbachers to the new sovereigns of Pfalz-Neuburg. They sold it on during the Thirty Years' War. In the period that followed, the owners often changed. In the course of time, the manor house was popularly known as the "castle" and often served as a country seat for its owners, who lived in the imperial city of Regensburg. The “castle” was owned by various merchant, diplomatic and aristocratic families, with the Thon-Dittmer merchant family from Regensburg being particularly worthy of mention from 1798 onwards. The origins of the property date back to the 11th century. From around 1120 it was used as a monastery for 50 years with the then adjoining castle. In 1174 the building was almost completely destroyed by fire and used as a parish church after the reconstruction. In 1748 it was converted into today's hipped roof .
- Atonement Cross Pettendorf : At the southern end of the Pettendorfer Atonement Cross Path, at the fork in the road to Urtlhof or Adlersberg, there is a stone cross from 1633. According to legend, two peasant women killed each other there with sickles in anger during the Thirty Years' War. The stone cross that was erected is therefore popularly referred to as the " Atonement Cross " and is the namesake of the Atonement Cross.
- Former Adlersberg Monastery : The Dominican convent was built after 1270, after the monastery was moved from Pettendorf to Adlersberg. Bavarian Duke Ludwig II. Was mentioned as the founder in 1264, when the later destroyed monastery complex was still in Pettendorf . In the middle of the 16th century the Adlersberg monastery was closed. The original condition of the building from the Gothic period, which is now used as a restaurant and hotel, has only been partially preserved. In the church there is a stone figure of Our Lady with Child, called Our Lady of Forsaken . Today Adlersberg is a Regensburg excursion destination with its popular beer garden and its own brewery. A hiking trail leads here from the Winzerer Höhen .
- Neudorf chapel : In the new chapel in the center of the Neudorf district, worth seeing frescoes and wall paintings by the famous artist Ivana Koubek.
- Chapel of Our Lady in Kneiting : The so-called "Liebfrauenkapelle" represents the oldest church building in Kneiting and probably also in the municipality of Pettendorf. According to tradition, a wooden church is said to have been at this location before the year 1000, which was destroyed by fire and then was replaced by a stone building. Of particular importance is the so-called women's fountain, which used to be the destination of pilgrims as a healing spring. The valuable winged altar from 1506 is also outstanding.
- Church of St. Peter and Paul in Kneiting: The church was built as the second church to the Liebfrauenkapelle in the village. The first evidence of this second church comes from 1442, whereby the current construction can be traced back to the beginning of the 18th century. The church tower, which is striking for the town of Kneiting with a height of 35 meters, was only erected in 1885 after the previous tower had been destroyed by lightning and later had to be demolished because it was dilapidated. The high altar of the church comes from the Regensburg Cathedral and was probably removed there as part of the re-Gothicization in the 19th century.
- Nuns monument : On the cemetery wall in Kneiting you can find a memorial originally attached to the Kneitinger Bridge, which commemorates the flood death of three nuns in 1369 on their way from Seligenporten monastery to Regensburg.
- Pfalz-Neuburgischer Grenzstein : As a result of the Landshut War of Succession , the area north of Kneiting was assigned to the newly founded Principality of Pfalz-Neuburg after 1505 . The border with Bavaria therefore ran between Aichahof, Hinterberg, Günzenried and Kneiting . Some boundary stones from this time can still be seen here north of Kneiting.
- Mariaort pilgrimage church : The Mariaort pilgrimage church is one of the small pilgrimage churches in the Upper Palatinate, but it is picturesquely situated on the banks of the Naab and occupies an interesting position with its uniform architecture and furnishings. The General Conservatory in Munich described the pilgrimage church as one of the most beautiful churches of the 18th century in the area around Regensburg. The popular baptismal and wedding church, as a place of pilgrimage to Mary, is a year-round attraction for believers as far as Franconia and the Czech Republic . The church was first mentioned in the 12th century and from 1352 it was run as the Marienkirche. The miraculous image of Mariaort was created around 1400. According to legend, it was thrown into the sea near Constantinople at the time of the Eastern Roman iconoclasm (8th century) and driven upstream to Mariaort on a juniper tree.
- Guild Tree Kneiting : In the district Kneiting you can on the Kapellenplatz one originally built in 1983 and renovated after a storm damage in 1993 guild tree view.
- Naabspitz : The Naab flows into the Danube near Mariaort. In the mouth area there is a narrow headland, the so-called “Naabspitz”, from which one has an impressive view of both rivers. The Naabspitz can be reached via the Mariaorter wooden bridge and is located on the Naab side of the pilgrimage church.
- Roman galley : In the summer months the Naab near Mariaort is the berth of the Roman river galley “Regina”, which was recreated by students from the “Chair of Ancient History” at the University of Regensburg . The galley is a faithful replica of a " Navis Iusoria ", a battle ship from around 300 AD. The Romans made it especially for the defense of the Limes , the northern border line of the Roman Empire between the Rhine and the Danube. Those interested can take part in test drives with the galley on the lower Naab.
theatre
In recent years, with the PettenDorftheater, founded in 1979 under the direction of Pastor Dieter Groden, an amateur theater culture has developed in the community. Since then, the amateur theater has performed pieces by Ludwig Thoma and Karl Valentin, among others . In recent years, the ensemble also played sophisticated pieces like Pygmalion by George Bernard Shaw . In 2007 a version of Schweig, Bub! Was translated into the Upper Palatinate dialect . performed by the Frankish dialect poet Fitzgerald Kusz . In 2008, John Buchan's "The 39 Steps" followed. To mark its 30th anniversary, a theater tour through the town with four scenic performances was organized in May 2009. In autumn “The Three Polar Bears” of the “ Comedy Nobility ” were shown. In 2010 Peter Shaffer's “ Amadeus ” followed. In 2011 the tabloid comedy "Otello mustn't burst" by Ken Ludwig was shown. In 2012 Agatha Christie's thriller "And then there was no more" was performed.
Pettendorfer Kulturherbst
In 2004, several associations and organizations brought the Pettendorfer Kulturherbst into being under the umbrella of Agenda 21 . Cultural events are offered in more than 20 dates between September and December. Organizers of the individual events are groups and clubs, from the warrior and reservist comradeship to the Catholic parish to the youth wind orchestra and sports club.
music
There is a large youth wind orchestra in the community, which was founded in 1988 on the initiative of the later mayor Karl Meyer. In 2007 the orchestra took part in the traditional Steuben Parade in New York City with more than 50 musicians .
