Dingolfing-Landau

Dingolfing-Landau is a rural district in Lower Bavaria that encompasses several municipalities across a larger area. The Isar and Vils rivers flow through this region, shaping the local landscape.

The district was formed in 1972 when two formerly separate counties merged into one administrative unit. The following year brought a name change that reflected this new organization and regional identity.

The coat of arms reflects ties between formerly separate counties, displaying symbols that represent the communities now united in this rural district. These heraldic elements tell the story of how different settlements came together in the river valley.

This area is best explored by taking time to visit multiple locations or by basing yourself in a central town and making day trips to different places. A vehicle makes it easy to move through the region and reach various communities.

The region hosts a major automotive manufacturing facility that produces vehicles for markets worldwide. This production site plays a significant role in the local economy and makes it an important industrial center.
