Neutraubling
Encyclopedia
Neutraubling is a town in the state
of Bavaria
in southern Germany
, in the district of Regensburg
.
The town has only existed since 1951. After the second world war
, displaced Germans from the eastern parts of the Reich settled in the ruins of the bombed military airport. Today, it is a more or less important industrial site. During the Second World War, Neutraubling was used as an airbase. Its closeness to Messerschmitt's production in Regensburg
may have been an advantage at some point.
However, even today it is possible to find relics of the early history of Neutraubling and its airbase past. For example, what is known as the "Schlangenbau", which is now home to people from various nations all over the world, was the command centre of the airbase. The small pond located next to the Schlangenbau was used as a water reservoir for the airbase fire brigade. Even the Catholic Church there still harbours various signs of the past. It is said that parts of the wall of the church were taken from a destroyed hangar. The main road leading through the city itself has its roots in one of the World War II airstrips.
It is also rumoured that Neutraubling also served as one of the outposts of Dachau Concentration Camp, which is situated about 75 miles to the south (near to Munich
). For a better understanding, it is essential to check out this article.
Despite Neutraubling's earliest roots dating back to the stone age period, it can't compete with Regensburg's rich history.
Neutraubling also provides a fully fledged education infrastructure starting with three kindergartens up to a grammar school. Furthermore, Neutraubling is also home to various medium-sized and internationally operating enterprises, e.g. Krones, which has its very roots in this city. Nightlife in Neutraubling is what can be expected from a city of only 13,000 inhabitants.
