The Freybühne Freyung is a true cultural powerhouse in the heart of the Bavarian Forest – a place where music, cabaret, and variety art not only take place, but are lived and breathed. With its charming event space at Markt 1, it creates a stage that connects artists and audiences alike. Here, there's no distance, but encounters. The program is as diverse as the region itself: from Bavarian cabaret and Irish folk to rock 'n' roll and cover bands like "Pepperman's Friend" – the Freybühne proves that culture doesn't have to be elitist, but can strike a chord. Particularly remarkable is the mix of local talent and nationally renowned acts like Günther Sigl and Gankino Circus, who regularly sell out nights. What sets the Freybühne apart is its atmosphere: informal, passionate, and with a wink. The motto on the website: "The music speaks for itself. Provided we give it a chance." – isn't just a cliché here, but a lived motto. A visit is worthwhile not only for culture vultures, but for anyone looking for a special evening. Once you've been there, you'll be back – guaranteed. https://freybuehne.de/HOMe

The Marienbrunnen fountain in front of the parish church of the Assumption of Mary in Freyung is far more than just a decorative element in the town square – it is a symbol of living tradition, community, and faith. Especially in spring, when the local women's association lovingly decorates the fountain with flowers and ornaments, it becomes an expression of a deep-rooted connection to the region and its Christian culture. The Madonna statue above the shell limestone fountain bowl lends the place a quiet dignity. It reminds us that spirituality has its place not only in church spaces, but also at the heart of public life. The fountain thus becomes a meeting place, a backdrop for conversations, a place of reflection – and sometimes simply a silent observer of everyday life. In a world that is constantly changing, the Marienbrunnen fountain remains a reliable fixture. It connects past and present, faith and everyday life, art and nature. A true piece of Freyung – tranquil, beautiful, and meaningful. https://www.kunst-niederbayern.de/karl-reidel-marienbrunnen-landshut-freyung.html

The fountain creates a space in which one can participate. The two life-size figures invite you to join them and listen to the musicians playing. So-called "Pfenniggeiger" (penny fiddlers) used to wander through Freyung as traveling musicians. They are described, for example, in Maximilian Schmidt's novel "Am Goldenen Steig" (On the Golden Path).

The fountain symbolically illustrates Freyung's cultural and historical origins. The tree represents the once opaque forest. The golden bird symbolizes the liberation from taxation for the settlers who cultivated the land. Water, a symbol of life, springs from the amidst the bronze treetop. With the renovation and conversion of a central urban district for a town hall and spa, the town hall square was recreated, with the fountain at its center.

The history of the Catholic parish church "Assumption of Mary" is closely linked to the history of the town of Freyung. History: 1872: On June 27, the entire market area, along with the former church, was destroyed by fire. 1877: The current neo-Gothic church was built from rubble and ashes and consecrated on October 24 by the Bishop of Passau, Josef Franz Weckert, as the Church of the Assumption of Mary (patronage day on August 15). The plans were provided by the architect Tanera from Landshut. Furnishings: Altars: The high altar and the two side altars were carved from oak in 1876/77 by the Michael Mayer workshop in Landshut. The statues: were created by the sculptor and church painter Martin Ziegler in his studio in Landshut. Church windows: They were made by the Schneider company in Regensburg and were also made in 1877. The Stations of the Cross are depicted in the nave windows. Renovations: 1971: The two side altars were dismantled and moved to other churches in the diocese. 1974: During the interior renovation of the parish church, the neo-Gothic pulpit was also removed, which unfortunately no longer exists today. A new central altar and ambo were created from granite by Wolf Hirtreiter (Gröbenzell). 1975: In late summer, the new organ was built and installed by the Eisenbarth organ building company from Passau. 2000: Most recently, a comprehensive exterior renovation of the church took place: The church roof was completely re-covered with copper. A wheelchair access ramp was built in the south of the church. The color scheme of the exterior façade was determined from the original 1877 state after investigations by the State Office for Monument Preservation and the Diocesan Building Office of Passau. Today: The parish church shines in new splendor in the center of Freyung. The church square, extensively renovated in 2011, with its adjacent revitalized Gasthaus Veicht, a well-known traditional inn, is the town's calling card and invites you to linger. Dimensions: Exterior dimensions: 47 m long and 16 m wide. All church walls are 80 cm thick. Interior: 14 m high / Church tower: 56 m high / Church tower cross: 2 m. The gilded ball on which the tower cross is mounted has a diameter of 60 cm. https://www.bayerischer-wald.de/attraktion/stadtpfarrkirche-in-freyung-39f389c3ab
