Rottal-Inn

The Rottal-Inn district extends over 1,281 square kilometers of southeastern Bavaria, bordered by the Austrian state of Upper Austria and five German districts.

The district emerged in 1972 through the consolidation of Pfarrkirchen and Eggenfelden districts, along with portions from Griesbach and Vilsbiburg administrative territories.

The district coat of arms displays a panther representing Eggenfelden from the Counts of Spanheim, and a horse symbolizing Pfarrkirchen's equestrian traditions.

The administrative center of Rottal-Inn operates from Pfarrkirchen, managing a network of 31 municipalities and maintaining 497 kilometers of municipal roads.

Two rivers shape the district landscape: the Inn forms the border with Austria, while the Rott flows through the central region at 461 meters elevation.
