history

At Oberpöring there is an extensive early medieval castle complex, possibly from the 10th century, with mighty ramparts and moats (inner area 2.8 ha). However, this complex needs to be examined more closely archaeologically.

Around 800 the place Peringe is mentioned in the Breviarius Urolfi . The next mention of the place name comes from 1075. In the 12th century, the Pöringer are mentioned; 1152 a Bertholdus von Peringen is mentioned, who was a servant of the Count Palatine von Ortenburg . In the Herzogssurbar, which was laid out in 1311, Oberpöring is mentioned as a village for the first time, before no distinction was made between Ober- and Niederpöring. 1391 Jacob der Öthiger zu Pöring appears in a document . He lived on the Seitenpukel , today called Lettenbuhel . The tower hill still rises a few meters above the flat meadow landscape. In the 14th century Oberpöring belonged to the Tuschel von Söldenau . In 1401 Conrad Aichperger acquired the Oberpering fortress from Johann the Elder . Ä. Count von Leuchtenberg . In 1407 a Conrad Chamerau zu Pering is documented. In 1439 Hans Ecker acquired the Oberpöring fortress, but it was to remain an open house for the whispers . Half of the Hofmark came to the Burkhard von Perlaching zu Geltolfing via Genoveva Ecker around 1580 , the other half belonged to Georg von Sandizell zu Edlhausen. In 1602 Hans Bernhard von Perlaching , carer and Kastner zu Osterhofen , became the sole owner.

The next owners were the Elsenheimer family . From this she got to Johann Matthies von Pienzenau on the marriage route . His daughter Maria Elenora was married to Franz Joseph Freiherrn von Nothaft from the Bodenstein line , who had taken the addition of Weißenstein to the name . In 1673 he inherited the Hofmark. In 1690 Franz Joseph Freiherr von Weißenstein was here on Ober- and Niederhatzkofen , Neubeuen and Oberpöring. He is the elector's chamberlain, court counselor and curator of Mattighofen (until 1701) and land tax officer of Straubing . He died on December 19, 1707; his widow Maria Eleonora, who lived on Oberpöring, survived her husband by 37 years († July 19, 1744 at the age of 101). Franz Joseph has been inherited by his son Johann Joseph Ignaz († on May 24, 1746, buried in Oberpöring). In 1720 his mother had transferred the Oberpöring estate to him. In 1739 he sold his share in Neubeuer and the shares of his sisters Violanta and Josepha to the Counts of Preysing . He himself was married three times, first to Charlotta Freifrau von Closen, then to Anna Maria Franziska Ambrosia Isnardi de Castello Contesse di Sanfre and finally to Maria Susanna Countess of Klenau . His only daughter Josepha Eleonore married Max Joseph Christoph von Closen , who came into the possession of Oberpöring. His daughter married in turn with Karl August Graf von Yrsch , Major à la suite . In 1829 the castle came to the Baron von Hofmühlen, who "smashed" the property and had the castle with the chapel demolished except for part of the economic building. The inhabitants of Oberpöring built their houses from the stones.

The place Oberpöring was part of the Electorate of Bavaria and formed a closed Hofmark. In the course of the administrative reforms in Bavaria, today's municipality was created with the municipal edict of 1818.
