The Straubing-Bogen district is traversed by the Danube from west to east . It divides the district into two roughly equal parts of different landscapes. North of the Danube, the foreland with the foothills of the Bavarian Forest stretches up to heights of over 1000 m. The Hirschenstein (1092 m) is located on the far eastern edge of the circle . In the Danube lowland there are mainly alluvial forests, meadows and pastures. South of the Danube, the Danube Plain merges into the Danube-Isar hill country . Agriculture is the main activity in the Danube Plain.

In the district, the Große Laber and the Aiterach flow into the Danube from the right and the Kinsach and the Bogenbach from the left.

In the same year the District Court of Bogen was established. Straubing had already become a city in the immediate vicinity of the district in 1809 .

badges and flags

Blazon : “Divided by a silver wavy strip, above a silver clad and golden crowned Madonna in a golden, twelve-fold halo, on the right by a slanting golden ear of corn and to the left by a slanting golden ear of corn, below, obliquely roughened in silver and blue. "

Justification of the coat of arms: Today's coat of arms was essentially derived from the coats of arms of the earlier districts of Straubing and Bogen. The Madonna symbol represents the Madonna from Bogenberg and comes from the old Bogener coat of arms, the two ears of corn the fertility of the Gäuboden (green), taken from the Straubing coat of arms. The Bavarian diamonds were part of both district coats of arms, as was the wavy strip that represents the Danube and divides the shield. Signs near Reissing The district adorns itself with the nickname "home of the Bavarian diamond coat of arms". In fact, the white-blue diamond coat of arms (the heraldically relevant, top right corner - from the front top left - contains a piece of white diamond - therefore white-blue and by no means blue-white) goes back to the Counts of Bogen, who lived in the former Altlandkreis Bow were at home. As early as 1247, the Wittelsbach family took over the white and blue coat of arms from the Counts of Bogen and subsequently used it as their main coat of arms. It has been featured as a heart shield in the coat of arms of the Bavarian kings since 1835 and has been a symbol for all of Bavaria ever since. The diamond coat of arms alone is listed as the “ small Bavarian state coat of arms ” and bears the people's crown above the shield. The Straubing-Bogen district is the only district to use a white and blue roughened flag with the district's coat of arms in the banner head.

train

Four railway lines run through the district:

• the Munich – Regensburg railway line
• the Regensburg – Passau railway line
• the Straubing – Bogen railway line (formerly to Miltach)
• the Neufahrn – Radldorf railway line

The AG der Bayerischen Ostbahnen ran its first connection Regensburg – Landshut – Munich in 1859 via Geiselhöring, where a branch was made towards Straubing , which was continued in the direction of Plattling in 1860.

It was not until 1873 that the detour via Geiselhöring ceased; At almost the same time, the direct line from Regensburg to Landshut via Eggmühl was opened.

The Bavarian State Railroad ran the Straubing – Miltach railway from Straubing in 1895 over the Danube to Bogen and in the following year further into the Bavarian Forest to Konzell Süd; the connection to Miltach followed in 1905.

After the 32 km long line from Bogen via Mitterfels and Konzell-stripau to Miltach into the Bavarian Forest was shut down in the years 1984 to 1994, only 72 km of passenger transport routes are now served in the district instead of 104 km.

License Plate

On August 5, 1974, the district was assigned the distinctive sign SR , which has been valid for the Straubing district since July 1, 1956 . It is still issued today.

In contrast to the independent city of Straubing, the SR is followed by two letters (for the city of Straubing this is one).

The outgoing District Administrator Reisinger categorically rejected the reintroduction of the old license plates MAL (for Mallersdorf) and BOG (for arches) as part of the license plate liberalization until the end of his term of office. Since the end of July 2014, however, the MAL label has been issued in the neighboring district of Landshut.

Since July 2, 2018, the distinctive signs BOG and MAL have also been available in the Straubing-Bogen district.
