Abensberg

Résumé
Abensberg (ˈaːbənsˌbɛʁk) is a town in the Lower Bavarian district of Kelheim, in Bavaria, Germany, lying around southwest of Regensburg, east of Ingolstadt, northwest of Landshut and north of Munich. It is situated on the river Abens, a tributary of the Danube. The town lies on the Abens river, a tributary of the Danube, around eight kilometres from the river's source. The area around Abensberg is characterized by the narrow valley of the Danube, where the Weltenburg Abbey stands, the valley of the Altmühl in the north, a left tributary of the Danube, and the famous Hallertau hops-planting region in the south. The town is divided into the municipalities of Abensberg, Arnhofen, Holzharlanden, Hörlbach, Offenstetten, Pullach and Sandharland. Since the administrative reforms in Bavaria in the 1970s, the town also encompasses the following Ortsteile: In the town: Abensberg (main settlement), Aunkofen (civil parish), Badhaus (village) To the east: Gaden (village), See (village), Offenstetten (civil parish) To the north east: Arnhofen (civil parish), Baiern (village), Pullach (civil parish), Kleedorf (village) To the north: Sandharlanden (civil parish), Holzharlanden (civil parish), Buchhof (small hamlet) To the west: Schwaighausen (village), Schillhof (hamlet), Gilla (small hamlet) To the south: Aumühle (small hamlet), Allersdorf (hamlet) To the south east: Lehen (small hamlet), Mitterhörlbach (hamlet), Upper Hörlbach (village), Lower Hörlbach (hamlet) There had been settlement on this part of the Abens river since long before the High Middle Ages, dating back to Neolithic times. Of particular interest and national importance are the Neolithic flint mines at Arnhofen, where, around 7,000 years ago, Stone Age people made flint, which was fashioned into drills, blades and arrowheads, and was regarded as the steel of the Stone Age. Traces of over 20,000 individuals were found on this site. The modern history of Abensberg, which is often incorrectly compared with that of the third century Roman castra (military outpost) of Abusina, begins with Gebhard, who was the first to mention Abensberg as a town, in the middle of the 12th century.
