filter_dramaUnderstandThe city of Deggendorf covers an area of 77.21 km² and has a population of more than 30,000. The city itself is 314 m above sea level.
The earliest traces of settlement in the area are found near the Danube, about 8,000 years ago. Both Bronze Age and Celtic era archeological findings indicate continuous habitation through the years. Henry II, Holy Roman Emperor, established his supremacy over the area in 1002.
Deggendorf was the site of a displaced persons camp for Jewish refugees after World War II. It housed approximately 2,000 refugees, who created a cultural center that included two newspapers, the Deggendorf Center Review and Cum Ojfboj, theater group, synagogue, mikvah, kosher kitchen, and more. The camp even issued its own currency known as the Deggendorf Dollar. Many of the camp's residents were survivors of the concentration camp at [wiki=ed6d5de774f0034356bd6dc7579cecbb]Theresienstadt[/wiki]. The camp closed on June 15, 1949. -

filter_dramaDoVisit Deggendorf in late July when the local beer festival (Volkfest) takes place at the Festplatz. This is like a mini [wiki=7b88a4aca50f33c258efc438d098c9f4#Do]Oktoberfest[/wiki] with huge beer tents, but with virtually no tourists. A great opportunity to down a few litre-glasses of beer whilst dancing on the benches and singing your favourite German songs played by the local ompah-band.
