history

Finds of flat and perforated axes made of serpentine suggest the presence of people in the Tobrabach Valley as early as the Neolithic (around 3500 years before Christ).

During the migration of peoples in the 6th century, Slavs came to the Lower Mühlviertel . Some stream, field and house names (for example Tobra, Pregarten, Preschnitzer (Preschmitzer) and Tobatslehner) are reminiscent of this people today.

At the same time as the Wende, or not much later, the Bavarians began to take possession of the land north of the Danube. Most of the house and field names, which are mostly derived from personal names, come from these.

On the occasion of the separation of the property of the Lords of Perg and Machland around the year 1100 AD, the Tobrabach formed the border, with the area east of the brook going to the Machländer and the area west of the brook to the Pergern. The Tobrabach formed the eastern boundary of the parish in 1142 when the parish of Pergkirchen was founded, in 1784 the eastern boundary of the cadastral parish and in 1848 the local parish of Pergkirchen. Since the amalgamation of the municipality of Pergkirchen with the Markt Perg in 1938, the Tobrabach has largely formed the eastern border of the market municipality of Perg, which was elevated to a town in 1969.

Surname

The earliest written document is from 1142 and is "Tabra". The name goes back to the Tobrabach , which was originally called Dabra by the Slavs. This hydronym is often found in the Slavic region and means good water , rich river (too old Slavic "dobrъ" for good ). The settlement eventually took on the river name.

traffic

Since the beginning of modern times at the beginning of the 16th century, the then newly built Hauderer-Straße , today's Donau Straße , has passed through Tobra . Local traffic to Pergkirchen and within the village runs on municipal roads and goods roads.

At the end of the 19th century, the Machland Railway , today's Danube Bank Railway, was built in 1897/98 . Although this leads through the village, there was no stop at any time. The closest train station is in Arbing.

economy

In the originally agricultural village with a few farms, the lively settlement activity in the second half of the 20th century mainly resulted in single and two-family houses for numerous families. The best-known commercial enterprise in the village is CDA Verlag . In the Tobrabach valley there is the possibility of mining sand for the construction industry.
