history

The oldest local settlement from the second half of the 6th millennium BC belongs to the culture of line ceramic . It is documented by extensive excavations. The name of the real ing place comes from the time of the Bavarians . In the year 790 Pasuhhinga is mentioned in the Breviarium Urolfi of Niederaltaich Monastery , although this may not mean Stephansposching, but Mariaposching .

The place got its final name when it came into the possession of the cathedral monastery Passau , whose cathedral patron is Saint Stephen. Waltherus de Poschingen around 1155 is the first known Passau Ministeriale in Stephansposching. In 1216 Stephansposching was in the hands of the Counts von Bogen , who documented that they received this property from the Bishop of Passau as a fief. After the Counts of Bogen died out in 1242, the property passed to the Lords of Degenberg . After their extinction in 1602, the closed Hofmark was acquired by the Bavarian duke in 1606. It was located in the area of ​​the Natternberg court and remained a sovereign property until the reorganization in the 19th century.

In the course of the municipal edicts, the Stephansposching tax district was formed from the former chairman and other former chairmen , from which the Stephansposching community emerged. The current community was created on May 1, 1978 through the merger of the previous communities Michaelsbuch and Rottersdorf.
