history

Reinhausen village with the parish church of St. Josef

Reinhausen lies east of the rain , a good 500 m north of the confluence of the rain with the Danube . Reinhausen is connected to the Steinweg district on the opposite bank of the Regen by the Reinhauser Bridge. This bridge connection, which used to be important for trade with Bohemia, has been attested as a wooden bridge since 1194. The bridge was destroyed several times by floods, ice drifts and in times of war, most recently during the battle of Regensburg , during the flight of Austrian troops from advancing French-led troops of the Rhine Confederation

Reinhausen was first mentioned in 1007 as Reginhusen (houses on the rain). The townscape, originally inhabited by winemakers , fishermen and raftsmen, is characterized by small crested houses on the banks of the rain . The former coat of arms of Reinhausen shows Saint Nicholas , the patron saint of boatmen and raftsmen, with rope and ax. Here in Reinhausen, the trunks felled in the Bavarian Forest and washed up on the rain or connected to rafts near the wooden garden were pulled out of the water by the raftsmen shortly before the rain flows into the Danube. The wood was stacked under the supervision of the Bavarian Wood Garden Inspection Office on the area of ​​the so-called wood garden and possibly further processed. Today the area is built on, but the street name Holzgartenstraße still reminds of the former use.

In addition to rafting and woodworking, fishing and viticulture were very important on the slopes of the Reinhauser Mountains. The vineyards owned by the monasteries Rohr , Emmeram , Walderbach , Niedermünster and Alte Kapelle stretched from the Alte Waldmünchener Straße to the Straße Imrich Winkel to today's district Konradsiedlung .

Like Stadtamhof and the other districts of today's Regensburg north of the Danube, Reinhausen belonged uninterruptedly to the Duchy or Electorate of Bavaria , therefore neither to the former imperial city of Regensburg nor to the old Upper Palatinate . During the Thirty Years' War , Reinhausen and the neighboring Weichs to the south became a quarter for several Bavarian infantry regiments under the command of General Feldzeugmeister Otto Heinrich Fugger during the fighting for Regensburg . These regiments had the thankless task of conquering the heavily fortified Stadtamhof, the northern bridgehead of the Stone Bridge, which was occupied by the Swedes.

After 1810, when the city of Regensburg fell to Bavaria, it became clear that the new, not yet incorporated suburbs of Reinhausen and Weichs were difficult to reach and could only be reached indirectly via the stone bridge . As an attempt to improve the connection, boat crossings and ferry services were initially set up, and in 1873 even a cable ferry. After the incorporation, a pontoon bridge at the site of today's Nibelungen Bridge was opened to traffic in 1924 , and was in service until the then Adolf Hitler Bridge was completed in 1938.

The Bavarian SPD was founded in the former Schrödl Hall in 1892 after the boycott of the city in Regensburg did not succeed. Maschinenfabrik Reinhausen is an important medium-sized industrial company based in Reinhausen . It employs more than 1800 people and is the world market leader for tap changers for power transformers . In Reinhausen there is also the Werner-von-Siemens-Gymnasium, the youngest state high school in Regensburg and the only one north of the Danube, which is one of the largest schools in Regensburg with around 1,350 students; also the St. Nikola elementary school, which is one of the smallest schools in Regensburg with around 100 students in four classes.

Former Walhalla Railway

Reinhausen was the stopping point of the narrow-gauge Walhalla Railway between Regensburg and Wörth on the Danube , which went into operation in 1889 and which ran over the old rain bridge here.

Attractions

The old Romanesque church of St. Nikolaus , which has been redesigned in baroque style and was built by the first inhabitants of Reinhausen (boatmen, raftsmen and fishermen) and first mentioned in 1228, is located near the rain bank . Today the church of St. Nicholas is a branch church of the parish church of St. Joseph .

The communities Reinhausen and Weichs belonged to the parish Sallern until 1913 ; however, the Church of St. Nikolaus became much too small for the larger parishes. Pastor Michael Wieshuber von Sallern finally gave the impetus to build the church in Reinhausen. From 1906 to 1912 the current neo-baroque parish church of St. Josef was built by Heinrich Hauberrisser . On November 18, 1911, the canonical establishment of the parish took place.
