history
Until the church is planted
Plattling is a city of the Nibelungs . In the Nibelungenlied (21st Adventure) it is mentioned that Kriemhild was received by the Passau bishop Pilgrim on her journey to the Hunnenland and that “chambers” were created for them in “Pledelingen”.
Is documented Platling first time in the year 868, when it by King Ludwig the monastery Metten was paid. Around 1200 it came into the possession of the Counts of Bogen . Even then, there was a bridge and a toll office in Plattling. In 1242 it fell with the county to the Wittelsbach family and is mentioned as a market in 1317.
Until 1379, Plattling is said to have been located on the eastern bank of the Isar, which is still evident today in the parish church of St. Jakob, which dates back to the 12th century. Due to constant flooding, the site was relocated by order of Duke Albrecht I. The corresponding document of November 10, 1379, however, does not clearly indicate whether the resettlement "to the field, since it is now lying and should remain" from one bank to the other or on the same bank to a higher part was made. In 1494, Plattling received its own municipal code.
During the Landshut War of Succession , Palatine troops looted Plattling on June 18 and 19, 1504, during the Thirty Years' War it burned down three times, and on April 23, 1742, Hungarian hussars burned the Isar Bridge during the War of Austrian Succession . On July 17th and October 1st, 1742 there were skirmishes between Austro-Hungarian and Bavarian troops.
Plattling was part of the Straubing Rent Office and the Natternberg Regional Court of the Electorate of Bavaria . Plattling had a market court with its own magistrate rights. In the course of the administrative reforms in Bavaria , today's municipality was created with the municipal edict of 1818 .
19th and 20th centuries
In the middle of the 19th century, Plattling had around 1,800 inhabitants and there were nine goods and cattle markets.
From 1857 to 1880, the construction of the railway made Plattling an important railway junction and a railway town . In 1888 the town was raised. The favorable traffic situation led to several industrial settlements. After the Second World War, branches of the textile industry settled in Plattling. In 1960 the Plattling plant of Südzucker AG was established and in October 1982 the branch of MD Papierfabriken Heinrich Nicolaus GmbH was established.
Plattling subcamp
Towards the end of the Second World War, on February 20, 1945, a satellite camp of the Flossenbürg concentration camp was established in Plattling . It was located in the former boys' school - in the middle of the city center between the town hall and the parish church of St. Magdalena. Initially 500 prisoners from Flossenbürg were housed there. Over half of them were Jews, most of them of Polish origin. In addition, 50 Hungarians, 80 Czechs, 20 Russians, some Germans, French and men of other nationalities were detained and used for heavy forced labor in the expansion of a training airfield. The supply situation and the condition of the prisoners were disastrous, the death rate extremely high. The 7,000 citizens of Plattling at the time could not overlook the daily murder and flaying of the prisoners, especially since these prisoners were led through the city twice a day in their striped rags. In fact, protests by Plattling women in the town hall and friendly food donations are known.
On April 24th or 25th, the satellite camp was evacuated towards Eggenfelden - except for 60 sick people - in Surberg near Traunstein, US troops liberated around 120 prisoners, around 70 are said to have been shot during the death march. There are no exact numbers. The survivors of the Plattling external command were liberated by American soldiers on May 1st.
After the liberation, the camp was used to intern Nazis and later to collect 3,000 soldiers from the Vlasov Army . Investigations by the Munich I public prosecutor's office did not lead to any results; they were discontinued in 1976.
Incorporations
In 1963, the village of Enzkofen was incorporated from the community of Pankofen, the community of Piel Weichs was incorporated on July 1, 1971 and the community of Pankofen on May 1, 1978.
Population development
In the period from 1988 to 2018, the city grew from 10,385 to 13,043 by 2,658 inhabitants or 25.6%.

Culture and sights
Buildings
On the eastern bank of the Isar, in the middle of today's cemetery, is the church of St. Jakob . It was built in the 12th century in the Romanesque style. Before the location was relocated in 1379, it was a parish church. Inside the church there is a baptismal font from the 15th century. On one of the stone cuboids near the altar an imprint can be seen that, according to legend, comes from a Turkish horseman who is said to have come to Plattling during the Ottoman campaigns in the Middle Ages.

Regular events
Every 2 years (as in 2008) there is a medieval market in summer, the Nibelungenmarkt , which traditionally begins with an excerpt of over 400 women and men in medieval costumes. Since the market takes up the entire town square, it must be closed to through traffic during the market.
Every 4 years (as in 2006), in addition to the Nibelungenmarkt, the Nibelungen Festival is staged, which stages the encounter between Bishop Pilgrim and Kriemhild, as shown in the Nibelungenlied , as a stage play. Since 2008, Siegfried's dragon stitch has been staged at the Nibelungen Market as a counterbalance to the Nibelungen Festival. For this purpose, the discarded dragon of the Further Drachenstich was brought to Plattling in 2008 . The last festival took place from 23.-26. July 2010.
Every year Plattling also organizes the so-called “artist's summer”. Various exhibitions, concerts, musical evenings or cabaret programs by regional artists take place in this context. The place for this is usually the citizen hospital, but also the music school, churches or local halls.

Economy and Infrastructure
traffic
Streets

- The

Railway
Plattling was above all a railway town. On September 20, 1860, the 76.3 kilometer long railway line from Straubing via Plattling to Passau was opened (today the Regensburg – Passau line ). In 1877 the connection into the Bavarian Forest to Bayerisch Eisenstein , the so-called Waldbahn , was put into operation and in 1880 the section between Landau an der Isar and Landshut (today the Landshut – Plattling line ), so that Plattling was now directly connected to Munich . This made it possible, for example, to transport cattle to the state capital much more effectively. Thanks to Conrad von Preysing in particular , Plattling became one of the most important transport hubs in Lower Bavaria. On July 28, 1888, Plattling was raised to town by Prince Regent Luitpold . On April 16, 1945, the station was completely destroyed by a bomb attack, but was rebuilt in the following years. The electrification measures that began in 1957 ultimately led to the devaluation of the Plattling railway location; on March 6, 1974, a steam locomotive drove for the last time in front of a scheduled passenger train from Plattling to the Bavarian Forest. The Plattlinger Bahnbetriebswerk, which was responsible for the maintenance of steam locomotives for decades, was finally given up in 1985. But even today, Plattling is an important transshipment point for people and goods, as the north-south and east-west railway lines intersect here.
In addition to this junction, there is another stop in the urban area in the Pankofen district . This was formerly also a train station.
