location
Sandbach is located on the right bank of the Danube eight kilometers east of Vilshofen and 14 kilometers west of Passau at the confluence of the Sandbach into the Danube.
history
Sandbach was first mentioned around 950, when the noble Diotrich exchanged the place with the Bishop of Passau . In the 12th century, the Lords of Kamm, who later became the Counts of Hals , owned the place until it was inherited by the Counts of Ortenburg in 1375 . The Danube ferry Sandbach, which crosses the Danube here, was first mentioned as early as 1379. The Duchy of Bavaria acquired Sandbach through pledging (1379) and later sale (1381 and 1385) , which was initially under the rule of Dießenstein . Since 1562 the chairmanship of Sandbach belonged to the Heining district court in Vilshofen. The hamlets and wastelands around Sandbach were owned by the County of Neuburg from 1283 to 1803 .
In 1818 the rural community Sandbach was formed. The much larger western part was separated as the municipality of Zeitlarn in 1821. Instead, the Seestetten community came to Sandbach in 1821. In 1831 the municipality of Sandbach was ceded by the Vilshofen regional court to the Passau II regional court.
Around 1840 Sandbach had 17 properties. The population consisted of large and small farmers, mill and inn owners, craftsmen, boatmen, raftsmen and ferrymen. Before the damming of the Danube by the Kachlet power station west of Passau from 1927, the most dangerous part of the Danube near Sandbach was the rocky Kachlet, which stretched from Hofkirchen to Schalding to the right of the Danube .
From the center of Sandbach, the old post road leads from Vilshofen over the Kaspernberg to the Neuburg Forest and Passau. For a long time this was the only road connection to Passau, because east of Seestetten the six-kilometer-long Löwenwand, which sloped steeply into the Danube, blocked the direct route along the river. It was not until 1823 that a road was opened along the Danube, the current Federal Highway 8 , and in 1860 the Regensburg – Passau railway line.
From an ecclesiastical point of view, Sandbach was a branch and since 1886 branch of the parish of Holzkirchen . In 1921 the parish of Sandbach was formed. The political community of Sandbach remained unchanged until it was dissolved on May 1, 1978 as part of the regional reform in Bavaria . One part came to Vilshofen, the other to the Windorf market . Today the former municipality of Sandbach has just over 1250 inhabitants.
