Parish Church of the Assumption of Mary (Stadtpfarrkirche Mariä Himmelfahrt), Deggendorf

Highlight • Religious Site

Here at this point near the Danube and the old river crossing (ford) there was a village of the Celts about 2000 years ago. The settlement later came into the possession of the Niedermünster nunnery in Regensburg.
In the past, three smaller Romanesque church buildings stood on the site of today's parish church.

Holy Sepulchre Church of St. Peter and Paul

Highlight • Religious Site

In Deggendorf, 5 institutions are combined in the St. Katharinenspital Foundation: St. Catherine's hospital church, a retirement home, brewery and beer garden, a forest and the hospital archive. The church dates from the 12th century, a hexagonal building with an attached baptistery. The church was originally built as a mausoleum for the Regensburg patrician family Kant.

Fountain With Mary Statue

Highlight • Monument

In the middle of Deggendorf's Upper Town Square stands the Marienbrunnen fountain – a fountain that appears simple at first glance, but upon closer inspection reveals a deep symbolic and historical significance. Surrounded by town houses, the Old Town Hall, and the Holy Sepulchre Church, it forms a tranquil counterpoint to the hustle and bustle of the city center.

The fountain features a statue of the Virgin Mary enthroned on a column – a symbol of
protection and hope. The figure is classically designed, with a graceful posture
and a blessing gesture. It recalls Bavaria's deep Marian tradition, in which Mary is
venerated as an intercessor and mother.

The Marienbrunnen fountain was built in the 19th century and is part of the urban design of the square, which has transformed over the centuries from a market square into a cultural center. The combination of fountain, town hall, and church façade creates
a harmonious ensemble that reflects Deggendorf's history and identity.

Today, the fountain is not only a monument, but also a meeting place:
for market visitors, tourists, and locals. In spring, it is lovingly decorated as an Easter fountain – with colorful eggs, flowers, and garlands that lend the square a festive atmosphere.

Old Town Hall, Deggendorf

Highlight • Historical Site

The old town hall with the Gothic tower was built in 1535 and is one of Deggendorf's landmarks. Noteworthy are the stone slabs with Bavarian coats of arms and the city coat of arms from the time it was built, as well as the sills of the windows with the fascinating mythical animals and grimacing heads. Also steeped in history are the two stone balls connected by chains that hang on the south facade and represent either a late medieval punitive instrument - the so-called disgraceful balls - or, as connected cannon balls, a devastating weapon of war. The historic tower house can be viewed as part of a city tour.

Vineyard on the Danube – Deggendorf Farmers' Wine

Highlight • Structure

From the 13th century the current district of Deggenau was one of the many wine-growing areas in the Danube valley. On the vineyards, the Mühlberg and the Geiersberg, wine was grown on the mountain slopes for almost 400 years. This was the "Baierwein". The first documentary evidence of a vineyard in today's urban area dates from 1149 and documents a vineyard on the Mühlberg in Deggendorf.
