Straubinger Ländchen

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Straubinger Ländchen

The Straubinger Ländchen with the main town Straubing is a historical territory in Bavaria that formed the Bavarian part of the late medieval Bavarian subduchy of Straubing-Holland .

geography

The Straubinger Ländchen stretched as a broad band on both sides of the Danube from Dietfurt and Kelheim in the west to Schärding in the east and from Furth in the forest and the forest Munich in the north, pledged to the Landgraves von Leuchtenberg , to Dingolfing in the south. The term Ländchen is therefore rather misleading for the relatively large territory of the Duchy of Bavaria. Compared to other territories of the time, it was also remarkably closed. The Straubinger Ländchen was then, as it is today, a large part of Lower Bavaria and comprised its northern part. However, some parts of the area are now in the eastern Upper Palatinate .

history

The Straubing Ländchen fell in the Regensburg Treaty of June 3, 1353 between the Wittelsbach dukes Stephan II , Wilhelm I and Albrecht I to the newly created Duchy of Straubing-Holland , which also included Dutch counties and Hainaut . In 1429, in the Pressburg arbitration award, it was divided among the other Wittelsbach partial duchies of Bavaria-Munich , Bavaria-Landshut and Bavaria-Ingolstadt . The main town of Straubing, which was the seat of the Dukes Albrecht I and Albrecht II from 1353 to 1358 and from 1387 to 1397 , fell to Bavaria-Munich. Duke Ernst of Bavaria-Munich appointed his son Albrecht , who later became Duke Albrecht III, as governor.

Occasionally, the term “Straubinger Ländchen” only refers to the portion of the territory of the Duchy of Straubing-Holland that fell to Bayern-Munich in 1429.
