Straubing is an independent city in the administrative district of Lower Bavaria in eastern Bavaria . In the late Middle Ages, the city was one of the capitals of the Bavarian partial duchies, along with Munich, Landshut and Ingolstadt, which is still reflected in the architecture today. Today Straubing is one of four regional centers in Lower Bavaria and the administrative seat of the Danube Forest planning region . The Mittelstadt is the seat of the Straubing-Bogen district office and the largest city in the Gäuboden . Since October 1, 2017, the previous science city has been given the new title University City through a branch of the Technical University of Munich (Straubing Campus) .
geography
Geographical location
The city is located in the center of the fertile Gäuboden on the Danube .
City area, districts and neighboring communities
The urban area of Straubing extends along the Danube in an east-west direction, with most of it located south of the Danube. North of the Danube, the localities Hornstorf , Sossau and Unterzeitldorn as well as the area of the Öberauer Danube loop , an oxbow of the Danube, with the hamlet Öberau are parts of the city. To the south of the Danube, the towns of Kay , Ehetal and Eglsee belong to the town of Straubing.
The city has an extension of 13.5 kilometers in an east-west direction and 9.2 kilometers in a north-south direction.
Due to its size, Straubing is not divided into districts. City districts that have recently been incorporated ( Alburg , Ittling including Eglsee and Kagers ) and geographically independent locations (Hornstorf, Kay, Sossau, Unterzeitldorn) are managed as separate districts.
The urban area is completely enclosed by the Straubing-Bogen district . The following communities border the city of Straubing (clockwise, starting in the north): Kirchroth , Parkstetten , Bogen , Aiterhofen , Feldkirchen , Geiselhöring , Perkam , Atting .
climate
The climate of the city of Straubing can be described as a moderate continental climate. The city is largely protected from strong winds by the Bavarian Forest in the north, the Lower Bavarian hill country in the south and the location on the low river level. Cold winds from the north reach Straubing just as rarely as the foehn winds from the south.
Due to the location in the Danube plain, fog often forms, especially in spring and autumn.
The warmest month is July with an average of 18.1 degrees Celsius, the coldest month is January with an average of −2.7 degrees Celsius. The greatest precipitation falls from June to August with an average of 85 to 91 millimeters, the lowest from February to April with 47 to 51 millimeters and in October with an average of 53 millimeters.

history
antiquity
Where the city of Straubing is today, can be seen since about 5600 BC. BC ( Neolithic ) show almost uninterrupted human settlements. The early Bronze Age Straubing culture is particularly important . From around 500 BC The Celts of the Hallstatt culture settled here in an oppidum . The first surviving settlement name Sorviodurum comes from them .
A decisive event for the region was the conquest by the Romans at the turn of the ages. Many traces of Roman rule, which lasted around 400 years, can still be found today, including four forts and the well-known Roman treasure, which is exhibited in the Gäubodenmuseum . The Romans kept the Celtic place name Sorviodurum and developed the site into an important military site on the eastern Danube border. The forts housed only a regular and later a Canathener - cohort , d. H. a special unit of about a thousand archers from the area of present-day Syria .
Early Middle Ages
After the end of the Roman Empire, Straubing became almost seamlessly a settlement center for the Bavarians , who mainly settled in the area of the old Roman settlement around the current churchyard of St. Peter between Allachbach and the Danube and today's Alburg district. According to Bavarian custom, the new settlement was named after the clan leader Strupo Strupinga , from which the name Straubing developed.
After the deposition of the last Agilolfing duke Tassilo , Straubing became a Carolingian chamber property and came into possession of the Saxon imperial family under Emperor Otto the Great , most recently to Emperor Heinrich the Holy . The first documentary mention in 897 comes from this time. Emperor Heinrich gave his estate in Straubing to his brother Bruno , then Bishop of Augsburg . After his death in 1029, the manorial rule over the old Straubing passed to the Augsburg cathedral chapter , from whose rule the city only bought itself free in 1537. In the second half of the 12th century, the rebuilding of St. Peter's Church in Romanesque style on the site of two previous buildings finally fell as a widely visible symbol of the power of the cathedral chapter .
The Wittelsbach Duke Louis I, Duke of Bavaria began in 1218 with the founding of Straubinger Neustadt west of the old settlement center a clear signal against the Church's basic rule of Augsburg Cathedral Chapter, the nearby free city of Regensburg and the mighty Counts of Bogen . Landshut in 1204 and Landau in 1224 were also founded in Lower Bavaria .
Late Middle Ages
Straubing quickly developed into a center of Wittelsbach rule. Since 1255 the city was the seat of a victoy . In the 14th century the city tower (construction began in 1316), the St. Jakob basilica (around 1395) and the city square were built. Today the Gothic town center with the 800 m long town square is a harmonious mix of Gothic stepped gables, Renaissance oriels, Baroque and Rococo facades and classical pilaster strips . In the course of the Wittelsbach inheritance, Straubing became the capital of the Duchy of Bavaria-Straubing in 1353 , the Bavarian Was part of the Straubing-Holland country complex . Already in 1425 it became extinct in the male line and was divided up after disputes over inheritance in the Pressburg arbitration , whereby the city of Straubing fell to Bayern-Munich . Nevertheless, these seven decades shaped the city's history like no other epoch. Duke Albrecht I in particular and later his son and governor Albrecht II resided in the city for a long time.
The love story between the Wittelsbach heir Albrecht III achieved widespread fame . , who administered the Straubing Land for his father, Duke Ernst of Bavaria-Munich, and Agnes Bernauer's daughter , who came to a tragic end in the Danube near Straubing in 1435. As atonement, Duke Ernst built the Bernauer Chapel at St. Peter's Cemetery, where the grave slab can also be found today.
From 1474 the fortification ring around the city was considerably expanded. In order to be able to better control the shipping traffic and to be able to collect the customs duties that are important for the city coffers , the course of the Danube was moved through the so-called Bschlacht closer to the city using the old oxbow lake.
Modern times
In 1507, through a reform of Duke Albrecht IV, the Straubing Rent Office was established , making the city one of the administrative centers of the Duchy of Bavaria for three centuries. In 1514, this area, like Landshut, first fell to Albrecht's younger son Ludwig X. , before the divisions of the duchy finally ended in 1545.
In 1568, the master turner Jakob Sandtner made a model of his hometown Straubing that was astonishingly precise for that time. Today it is an outstanding document of the city's history, a copy of which can be viewed in the Gäubodenmuseum . On behalf of the Bavarian Duke Albrecht V, Sandtner created further city models of the then government cities of Munich , Landshut , Ingolstadt and Burghausen . These and the original model by Straubing can be viewed in the Bavarian National Museum in Munich.
In the 16th century Straubing was the center of the Reformation in Lower Bavaria , but the city finally had to bow to the exclusive catholicity of the Duchy of Bavaria . The victim of the expulsion policy was the famous patrician son Ulrich Schmidl , who took part in the conquest of South America by the Spaniards from 1535 to 1554 and is considered a co-founder of the city of Buenos Aires and the first historian in Argentina . From 1614 the Capuchins , from 1631 the Jesuits and other orders that settled there in the 17th and 18th centuries, such as the Ursulines in 1691, the Franciscans in 1702 and Elizabeth in 1748, who were mainly concerned with nursing the sick in the monastery , watched over the orthodoxy of the city Azlburg took care.
The Thirty Years War was a severe blow for Straubing : Around 1800 of the 4000 inhabitants fell victim to the Swedish occupation under Bernhard von Weimar or the plague that was brought in in 1633 . All properties around the city wall were closed for fortification reasons or destroyed by shelling. The city only recovered from this at the end of the 17th century and, in the course of the Baroque era, became an important place of activity for the Asam family of sculptors and painters . Together, the Asam brothers created the Ursuline monastery church .
In 1704 Straubing was occupied by the Austrians ( War of the Spanish Succession ). Because of a vow to ward off the danger of war, the so-called Trinity Column was erected in 1709 . The city also survived sieges by Austrian troops in 1742 and 1743 ( War of the Austrian Succession ). The resulting economic crisis culminated in the bankruptcy of the city and the great city fire of 1780, which devastated large parts of the districts north of the city square. The work of the sculptor and plasterer Mathias Obermayr , who gave numerous house facades and many churches in and around the city, a final, unmistakable rococo shine , also fell into this period . After secularization , Straubing largely lost its political importance as the seat of government and administration - but its position as the most important market and trading center in the Gäuboden between Regensburg and Passau was largely retained.
Based on the example of the Munich Central Agriculture Festival, a district agriculture festival was launched in Straubing in 1812, today's Gäubodenvolksfest . The two parts of the town square were renamed Ludwigsplatz and Theresienplatz on the occasion of the visit of the heir apparent couple . Further renaming of streets and squares in the city took place during the National Socialist era (e.g. Großdeutschlandplatz, Freiherr-von-Epp- Strasse), but these were reversed after the Second World War .
20th century
Since the end of the 19th century, the largest Bavarian prison was located in Straubing , at that time a modern new building. At the end of the 20th century, the Bavarian Prison Academy (initially as the Bavarian Prison School) and an institution for forensic psychiatry were added as additional facilities . Today the Straubing correctional facility accommodates offenders with prison sentences of more than five years.
In 1904 the Straubinger Handwerker-Kreditgenossenschaft was founded.
Straubing was one of the first Bavarian cities to be captured by the November Revolution at the end of the First World War . On November 8, 1918, a demonstration train liberated prisoners. A workers' and soldiers' council had already formed on the afternoon of November 9, and a citizens' council in the evening.
Otto Selz from Straubing, murdered in March 1933, was the first Jewish victim of Nazi rule in Germany. During the November pogrom in 1938 , the synagogue of the Jewish community in Wittelsbacherstrasse was devastated by SA men . A plaque on the memorial for the victims of the war in the Powder Tower has been commemorating the 43 Jewish residents who fell victim to the Holocaust , and a memorial stone in the St. Peter's cemetery has been a memorial to the victims of forced labor .
At least 400 people were killed in three heavy US air raids on the Straubing railway junction during World War II in 1944/45, and extensive damage was caused in the urban area. Most of the historic buildings survived the bombing unscathed. In the post-war period Straubing experienced a great economic boom, which is associated with names such as the ski company Völkl or the concert electronics manufacturer Dynacord .
On January 1, 1972, the previously independent municipalities of Hornstorf and Kagers were incorporated as part of the regional reform . Alburg and Ittling followed on July 1, 1972 . Territory parts of the dissolved community Unterzeitldorn (until April 26, 1951 Zeitldorn ) were added on July 1, 1976.
In 1989 the Bavarian State Garden Show took place in Straubing , and in 1992 the State Exhibition Farmers in Bavaria. In 1997, the 1100th anniversary of the first documentary mention of the city was held with a large citizens' festival on the town square, and Deutsche Post issued a special stamp on this occasion. In 2003, the 650th anniversary of the Duchy of Straubing-Holland was celebrated with a series of events.
21st century
Important developments in recent years have been the establishment of the Straubing-Sand industrial area, the designation of large new building areas in the east and west of the city and the establishment of the competence center for renewable raw materials (since 2015 KoNaRo for short ) in 2001.
On June 9, 2008, the 9th Franco-German Council of Ministers took place in Straubing . It was the first time that French President Nicolas Sarkozy and German Chancellor Angela Merkel met outside the two capitals.
The Science Center Straubing , the Technology and Support Center and CARMEN work closely together here (see below ). Several chairs from the participating universities, a Bachelor (since 2013) and a Master's degree (since 2008) Renewable Resources and a Fraunhofer project group (since 2009) have been set up at the Science Center. Due to the scientific activities at KoNaRo, Straubing was awarded the title “ City of Science ” on August 11, 2007 by Edmund Stoiber .
On October 1, 2017, Straubing rose from science city to university city by converting the Straubing Science Center into a campus for biotechnology and sustainability of the Technical University of Munich by resolution of the Bavarian State Parliament .
Straubing was affected by the floods of the century in 2002 and 2013 , but due to the improved flood protection after the floods of 1988, only comparatively minor damage occurred. In November 2016, a fire destroyed the historic part of the town hall. The reconstruction of the town hall is expected to be completed in 2021.

coat of arms
|
|
Blazon : “In red a silver plow ; Above one another two labels with Bavarian diamonds , below a golden heraldic lily . " |
|
Reasons for the coat of arms: The plow in the coat of arms indicates the importance of agriculture for Straubing. Other interpretations draw a connection to the coat of arms of the local noble family of Straubing, although it is unclear in which direction the coat of arms component was adopted. The diamond shields stand for the Counts of Bogen and the Wittelsbachers who followed them, who founded the city. The lily stands as a symbol of Mary for the patroness of the diocese of Augsburg, to which Straubing belonged since 1029, and as a symbol for the town's market rights .
The coat of arms has been passed down almost unchanged since around 1270; the current version was checked and determined in 1952. |

Buildings
The St. Peter church with the St. Peter cemetery east of today's downtown Straubing is a Romanesque basilica. It was built on a previous Carolingian building in what was then the old town and was the only parish church until the city was expanded in the Gothic period. A little outside in the district of the same name is the Romanesque-Gothic pilgrimage church of Sossau .
Significant Gothic buildings are the dominant city tower , the town hall with its historic town hall hall, which was badly damaged in a fire on November 25, 2016, and the ducal palace (see also: Straubing tax office ). The Weytterturm and the Pulverturm belonged to the medieval city fortifications . The largest church in Straubing, the St. Jakob and St. Tiburtius basilica with the Moses window based on a design by Albrecht Dürer , also dates from the Gothic period . It has been a minor basilica since 1989. The Carmelite Church of the Holy Spirit of the Straubing Carmelite Monastery is a Gothic hall church, built by Hans von Burghausen . The grave of Albrecht II in the Carmelite Church, which was later redesigned in Baroque style, is one of the city's most valuable art treasures.
The former Jesuit Church of the Assumption of Mary into Heaven emerged from the Gothic "Frauenkapelle am Obern Tor", was given to the Jesuit Order in 1631 and rebuilt in 1683. The Jesuit College is adjacent to the west. The Church of St. Vitus was built as a votive church as early as 1393 and redesigned in Baroque style in the 18th century; it functions as the seat of the St. Salvator's Society .
The pilgrimage church Frauenbrünnl in the town of the same name was probably painted by Hans Georg Asam . The Ursuline Church , the last joint work of the Asam brothers , as well as the Holy Trinity Column and the building of the Gäubodenmuseum also belong to the Baroque period .
The Dreifaltigkeitskirche belongs to the Bürgerspital ; the church was renovated in an early Classicist style after the great fire in 1780. The only synagogue in Lower Bavaria was built in 1907 in neo-Romanesque style. The striking water tower was built in 1922.

The TUM Campus Straubing for biotechnology and sustainability , which works together with CARMEN and the technology and support center under the umbrella of KoNaRo - Competence Center for Renewable Raw Materials , was originally founded by the Technical University of Munich and the Weihenstephan-Triesdorf University of Applied Sciences . In August 2007 the city of Straubing was awarded the title Science City .
On October 1, 2017, Straubing rose from science city to university city by converting the Straubing Science Center into a campus for biotechnology and sustainability of the Technical University of Munich by decision of the Bavarian State Parliament. Originally planned for 500 study places in 2012, the Free State finally approved the financial support for 1000 study places on the TUM campus after repeated requests from the city of Straubing. 436 students are enrolled at the TUM Straubing Campus for the 2019/2020 winter semester.
The academic training is covered by several bachelor and master degree programs and expanded with doctorates.
