Landshut

The Landshut district spans 1,347 square kilometers across the Isar River valley, containing 35 municipalities with Landshut city as its administrative center.

The district was established on July 1, 1862, and underwent significant restructuring in 1972 through the merger of former districts Landshut, Rottenburg, and Vilsbiburg.

The district maintains traditional Bavarian administrative structures, with municipalities organized into different categories including market towns and community management associations.

The district employs registration codes LA, MAI, MAL, ROL, and VIB for vehicles, serving a population of over 162,000 residents across its territory.

Nuclear power facilities in Niederaichbach and Essenbach have shaped the district's industrial development, with the first research reactor being completely dismantled by 1995.
