History


Locally excavated stone axes and vessels dating back to 5000 BC suggest that Obertraubling has been inhabited since the Stone Age. Bronze Age burial mounds in the Neutraubling section dating back to 1,800 BC also indicate human habitation in this part of the Danube flood plain. A Roman farm was established here in the third century AD.

Obertraubling is first mentioned in an 817 AD document concerning a land swap. The name originates from the 11th century landowners, the 'Traublinger' noble family.

During the Second World War Obertraubling was used as an airbase and factory for the Messerschmitt aircraft manufacturing company. Between the end of 1940 and April 23, 1945, the factory was able to house up to 2,750 slave laborers at a time.[3]

Between 20 February 1945 and 26 April 1945, inmates of Flossenbürg concentration camp were held there until forced into a 'death march' to Dachau concentration camp.[4]

On 21 April 1945 B-24 Liberator (serial number 42-95592) "Black Cat" became the last heavy bomber to be shot down in the European Theatre of Operations. The aircraft was hit by flak on a mission to Regensburg and the wing broke off. Three men were seen to escape, but the rest perished when the plane crashed near Oberhinkofen (now part of Obertraubling). A memorial near Oberhinkofen now marks the site of the crash. It is cared for a residents of Oberhinkofen, who sometimes place a candle at the site.
