Bogen

Bogen is a town in the Straubing-Bogen district of Bavaria, situated between the Bavarian Forest and the Danube River. The town spreads across hilly terrain and features historic buildings and churches that shape its character.

The Counts of Bogen ruled the region until 1242, when their lands passed to the Wittelsbach family. This transition marked the beginning of a new political era for the town under Bavarian control.

The pilgrimage church on Bogenberg hill has been a spiritual center for the region for centuries and shapes the religious life of the community. Visitors can see how this site continues to draw people seeking prayer and reflection.

The town offers several ways to explore, from which you can see historic buildings and the landscape. Visitors find accommodations and local restaurants serving Bavarian food, and can travel through the area on foot or by car.

Bogen maintains long-standing partnerships with cities in Italy, France, Austria, and other parts of Germany. These connections appear in local events and cultural exhibitions that reflect bonds with other nations.
