Deggendorf, Administrative district in Lower Bavaria, Germany
Description
Deggendorf district is an administrative area in Lower Bavaria comprising 26 municipalities and three major cities serving as regional centers. The territory spans across the Danube River with varying landscapes from forested regions to open countryside.
History
The district was established in 1936 and gained its current shape through boundary changes in 1972. This restructuring created the administrative borders that remain in place today.
Culture
The coat of arms features a double eagle from Metten monastery, a blue line for the Danube, and green hills for the Bavarian Forest. These symbols reflect the connection between religious tradition and the natural landscape.
Practical
The district is best explored by allowing time to move through its different regions, from forested areas in the north to flatter terrain in the south. The Danube serves as a helpful geographic reference point dividing these distinct zones.
Did you know?
The Einödriegel peak reaches about 1,220 meters (4,000 ft) and stands as the highest mountain in the district within the northern Bavarian Forest. This summit marks the boundary between the flatter areas and the more elevated regions.
