history
On the former Fronhof Sarching, the construction of a chapel dedicated to the Virgin Mary by the Bavarian dukes of the Agilolfinger family is documented between 520 and 780 .
The name Sarching is said to go back to a founder Saricho or Saro.
The famous Gamerit (Gamered) von Särching (Sarching) family lived here. Ulrich von Sarching was a canon in 1312 and dean of the cathedral in Regensburg in 1317. Berthold Gamerit von Sarching in 1331 and Leutwin Gamerit were canons of Regensburg a few years later. The latter especially adored the blessed Princess Aurelia, daughter of Hugo Capet, who spent 52 years praying and fasting in a hermitage in Regensburg and died in 1372. Leutwin built a pretty high grave for her at St. Emmeram. In 1377 a gamerite was a keeper to Stauf and the last gamerite from Sarching, with whom the family died out in 1395, had the magnificent west portal of the cathedral in Regensburg built at his own expense and thus set himself an immortal monument.
His daughter married Konrad Dürrnstetter, a brother of the cathedral builder Heinrich Dürrnstetter. This Konrad Dürrnstetter built the "Veste Sarching", the castle that is still largely preserved today. In 1404 he bequeathed his castle and the village of Sarching to the church in Regensburg. As early as 1499, the fortress became the property of the German lords of St. Egid in Regensburg. A cathedral window and a keystone in the Dorotheenkapelle show the coat of arms of the Sarching family. In the 15th century, the Sarching family of Gamerit provided several Regensburg canons and cathedral deans . From 1499, the German lords of Sankt Egid in Regensburg exercised the manorial rule.
When people settled in the area around this castle, Sarching was probably always an independent community that was supplied with agricultural produce.
There is an interesting tombstone in the Sarching church. It commemorates the nurse Hans Schweser, who died on April 16, 1556 at the old age of 126. According to another reading he died with "J26" (26 years).
The plague also raged in Sarching from August 8 to November 28, 1713. In that short time, 50 adults and 24 children died from this terrible disease. 21 people died of the plague by 1719. A plague cross (erected in 1855) at the northern exit of the village still reminds of this difficult time.
After the Second World War, the town developed into a lively community through a lot of initiative by the population. The location away from national traffic routes allowed the development to proceed cautiously. From a geological perspective, the Sarching area is Danube floodplain with extensive gravel deposits. The gravel mining, which began in the 1960s, has significantly shaped the landscape through a series of gravel ponds. The largest gravel excavation took place for the construction of the motorway from Regensburg to Passau at the Sarchinger Weiher, which today serves as a local recreation area. This gravel mining and with it the creation of the pond had already started for the same purpose before the Second World War.
In 1857 Sarching was incorporated into the Regensburg Regional Court. On January 1, 1978, the independent municipality of Sarching was incorporated into the municipality of Barbing.
Another major change in the landscape between Sarching and the Danube was the expansion of the Danube to improve shipping conditions. The construction of the barrage at Geisling turned the Danube from a free-flowing body of water into a slowly flowing river that is about three times as wide as the old Danube. The construction work was carried out in the eighties and also created a flood dam between Sarching and the Danube. The annual floods, which often reached into the houses on the northern outskirts, were a thing of the past. The population especially remembered the floods of the century in 1954 and 1965.
The members of the OGV had always been particularly concerned with the beautification of the place and started many voluntary initiatives such as the planting of the plague hump. These campaigns, together with the village renewal measures, resulted in Sarching being named one of the most beautiful villages in Bavaria with a gold medal at the state level in the competition "Our village should be more beautiful".
