history

The establishment of the place is not documented, but places with names ending in -ing are among the oldest settlements in early Bavarian history, which began in the 6th century. However, the Scharmassing area was settled much earlier. Heinrich Ebentheuer found hand axes from the Paleolithic in the nearby Aubach Valley. Together with other findings, it is proven that in the area around Scharmassing, Oberisling and Burgweinting people lived as hunters even before the Ice Age. These finds are now in the prehistoric department of the Regensburg Historical Museum . Settlement in Roman times is documented by a coin find from the reign of Marc Aurel . During this time the Castra Regina camp was built, which formed the nucleus for the founding of Regensburg. Presumably there was a Villa Rustica in the area of ​​Scharmassing , i. H. a veterans' farm that supplied the garrison with food.

Scharmassing is not mentioned again until the 17th century, when the barons of Lerchenfeld acquired the lords of Köfering and Gebelkofen. This also included Scharmassing. Scharmassing farmers, including Andre Zürnkübel, pioneered the cultivation of the Hohengebrachinger Heide. On the orders of Elector Max Emanuel , the cultivation of the entire area was continued from 1723, with the villages of Seedorf and Neudorf being founded. Until it was dissolved and incorporated into Obertraubling, Scharmassing was part of the municipality of Oberhinkofen .

The oldest farms in Scharmassing are those of the Schrödinger, Zirngibl and Ebentheuer families.

Black Cat crash

On April 21, 1945, a USAAF bomber was shot down over Germany for the last time in World War II over Regensburg . The B-24 "Black Cat" crashed near Scharmassing. Two crew members were able to save themselves from the machine, which was still breaking in the air, two fell to earth without a parachute and succumbed to their injuries, the other eight members of the crew died directly in the crash. In 2005, a stamp from the American Advances in Aviation series of the US Post was dedicated to the event .

At the crash site between Scharmassing and Oberhinkofen, a cross with a name plaque reminds of the fallen.

Zimmerstutzenschützengesellschaft Weidtal Scharmassing

The cultural life of the village is shaped by the "Zimmerstutzenschützengesellschaft Weidtal Scharmassing", which was founded in 1969. The club now has its clubhouse after a few moves in the Weitzer inn in Oberhinkofen. It belongs to the Aubachtal section and is the only association in the municipality that is based on the city of Regensburg. Every year the club organizes a comparison shooting with Zimmerstutzen with the club Grüne Au Oberisling. For several years now, the club has also had a running and walking group. There is an annual village festival and a wine festival in the Prüglmeier Hof.
