Schwanenkirchen is a district of the market Hengersberg in the Lower Bavarian district of Deggendorf .
location
The parish village on a fertile ridge with the church that can be seen from afar is located about four kilometers southeast of Hengersberg next to the federal highway 3 on the state road St 2126 from Hengersberg to Iggensbach .
history
Sweinaha (Schweinach) was first mentioned as early as 857 - in a document from Emperor Ludwig the German dated August 18, 857 (MGH D LdD No. 86) - and is thus one of the oldest villages on the left of the Danube. As Sweinachirchen , the place came into the possession of the bishops of Passau , who left it to their cathedral chapter from 1159 to 1684 . Schwanenkirchen was referred to as Hofmark as early as 1373 . In the following period, the Puchberg Vogt and landlords were in Schwanenkirchen. They were followed by the Schwarzenbergs until the winegrowers' rule was transformed into a prince-electoral nursing court. Schwanenkirchen formed the focal point of the Schweinachgau as chairman of the Schwanenkirchen office of the winegrowers' nursing court in the Hochstift Passau .
The original parish of Schwanenkirchen included the places Iggensbach, Grattersdorf , Schöllnach , Riggerding, Zenting and Ranfels , which were elevated to independent parishes in the 17th century.
During the War of the Austrian Succession , Austrian hussars looted the place on May 25 and June 29, 1742 . In the period from 1741 to 1750, half of the parish of around 1,300 souls fell victim to the plague.
After secularization in Bavaria with the dissolution of the Passau bishopric in 1803, the community of Schwanenkirchen came to the Vilshofen district court . In 1808 the tax district Schwanenkirchen was formed, from which the rural community Schwanenkirchen emerged with the second municipal edict in 1818 . In 1838 the community was added to the newly established district court of Hengersberg and in 1862 fell to the district court of Deggendorf.
Around 1875 there was a school in Schwanenkirchen, and in 1887 the “Klostermädchenschule” (poor school sisters) founded by cathedral capitular Franz Xaver Loibl and Professor Jakob Leitl (both born in the Schwanenkirchen parish) was opened. After the dissolution of the convent girls' school, this foundation has been run as a kindergarten foundation since 1959.
On August 1, 1914, Schwanenkirchen received a railway connection with the opening of the last section Hengersberg – Eging of the Deggendorf – Kalteneck railway line. From 1895 to 1935 and again from 1945 to 1958, lignite was mined near Schwanenkirchen . Over five million tons of lignite are still stored in the Tertiary Bay of Hengersberg-Schwanenkirchen, but mining it currently does not appear to be profitable.
Mining engineer Max Hebecker , who in 1929 bought the mine, made the name Swan Kirchen at the time of the Great Depression in Germany through the exchange of money Wara known. Due to an emergency ordinance of October 30, 1931, the Wära was banned as emergency money .
June 16, 1960 saw the establishment of SV Schwanenkirchen. In the course of the regional reform in Bavaria , the community of Schwanenkirchen lost its independence on April 1, 1971 and most of it came to Hengersberg. Other parts of the community were reclassified to Schöllnach and Winzer .
On September 2, 2002, the Hengersberg – Eging section of the railway line was shut down. After the tracks were dismantled, the route became part of the Danube-Ilz Cycle Path, which opened in 2006.
Attractions
The parish church of St. Laurentius and St. Gotthart consists of Gothic and - since the extension with the nave in 1854 - neo-Gothic elements. During the renovation in the 1990s, essential parts of the old furnishings, which had been removed by the zeal for reform after the conciliarism, could be returned; so are the two side altars, the reliefs of the four doctors from the old pulpit and the glass pictures in the windows.
education and parenting
Schwanenkirchen has a kindergarten and a primary school, which goes up to the second grade and was once a boys' school.
