The parish village of Staudheim is a district of the town of Rain with around 430 inhabitants in the Donau-Ries district , which is part of the Swabian administrative district in Bavaria .

Geography and traffic

Staudheim is located east of Rain between Mittelstetten and Burgheim on the northern edge of the plateau of the Lower Lechrain of the Aindlinger terrace staircase . In terms of natural space, it belongs to the Danube-Iller-Lech-Platte , which in turn is part of the Alpine foothills , one of the main natural spatial units in Germany . The northern parts of the Staudheimer Flur are already in the Danube Valley.

The place is on the district road DON 39 from Rain (Lech) to Burgheim . Since July 1984, all long-distance traffic has been rolling along federal highway 16 from Ulm to Ingolstadt , which runs just north of Staudheim and runs along the Danube valley. For centuries before that, Staudheim was on the southern Danube Valley Road. Staudheim is also on the Ingolstadt – Neuoffingen railway line .

history

The earliest excavations in the area indicate settlement as early as the Neolithic Age. The southern Danube region acquired important strategic importance in 233 AD when the northern border of the Roman Empire was moved back from the Limes to the Danube. Today's “Roman Road” through Staudheim was a main route for the Romans along the Danube. The Lech-Donau-Winkel belonged to the Roman province of Raetia .

The founding of Staudheim as a home town is suspected between 650 and 750 by Bavaria . Staudheim was first mentioned as a mare home in 1020 , when the Tegernsee Monastery lost a number of villages to Count Otto I von Dießen , because Duke Arnulf of Bavaria needed maintenance for his armed cavalry against the Hungarians, secularized numerous church-owned villages and gave them to liege lords. The name could go back to Stuotenheim , which indicates a stud or horse breeding. In the period that followed, ownership was split up. Due to its location in the Danube Valley, Staudheim was hit relatively often by wars and often destroyed.

The parish of Staudheim with the church Sankt Quirin has been vicared by the Rainer parish priest since 1978. The church tower was built around 1300, the choir and nave in the 15th century. The late medieval frescoes in the choir from around 1420 are remarkable. The patronage still points to the early history of the place as the property of the Tegernsee Monastery.

Until July 1, 1972 Staudheim belonged to the district of Neuburg an der Donau as an independent municipality and then fell to the district of Nördlingen-Donauwörth with the regional reform in Bavaria , which has been known as the district of Donau-Ries since May 1, 1973 . It was also incorporated into the city of Rain on July 1, 1972.
