Teisnach

History

The village of Teisnach was first mentioned in an official document in the year 1367 as a small fishing village. In 1818, today's municipality formed out of the merging with Teisnach and the nearby municipalities of Kaikenried and Sohl. By the late 19th century, the once small village developed into an industrial hub within the region when a paper factory was opened on the shore of the Schwarzer Regen. This led to a growth in population and the construction of the Teisnach church in 1900. In 1890, Teisnach was linked to the railway network with the opening of the Gotteszell-Blaibach railway. In 1969, the Rohde & Schwarz company opened a manufacturing plant in Teisnach which expanded into one of the largest employees in the region, employing nearly 2000 workers. Since 2009, Teisnach hosts a branch of the Technische Hochschule Deggendorf, where the world's largest machine for producing space telescope mirrors is situated. Between 1988 and 2018 the population of the town grew from 2686 to 2950 to 264 inhabitants i.e. by ca. 10 %, which was the highest growth rate in the region in this time. * Year: Population * 1961: 2565 * 1970: 2573 * 1987: 2641 * 1991: 2784 * 1995: 2912 * 2000: 2994 * 2005: 2955 * 2010: 2894 * 2015: 2879
