Aiterhofen
Aiterhofen is a municipality in the district of Straubing-Bogen in Bavaria, Germany. It is located about 5 km southeast of Straubing in the Gäuboden. History Aiterhofen is settled since the Neolithic as the discovery of the biggest cemetery of the Linear Pottery culture in Germany (about 260 tombs) showed. In 773, Aiterhofen (Eitraha) is documented as residence of one of the Agilolfing Dukes. Around 973, another documentation as ''Eitarahoue'' (Farmyard at the Eiterach). An Annalist of the 11th century falsely interpreted the name as ''Farmyard of Poison'' (poison = pus = ''Eiter''). The actual meaning comes from the indogermanic ''oid'' for swelling and the old high German ''aha'' for water and ''hof'' for farmyard. Therefore, the meaning of the name can be interpreted as ''estate at the swelling stream'', which shows the reference to the Aiterach River. Approximately in the first quarter of the 13th century, the romanic parish church St. Margaretha has been constructe ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
