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.

The parish church of the Assumption is the oldest church in Deggendorf. It is located in the Lower Suburb and thus on the oldest settlement area in the city.

Today's church building of the Assumption of Mary is the result of around 400 years of construction from the late Middle Ages to the end of the 19th century. The church is mainly shaped by the baroque period.

The patronage "Maria (or in another spelling :) Assumption" of this Deggendorf church refers to one of the many days of commemoration or feast days in honor of the Mother of God Maria. It goes back to the feast of their physical acceptance into heaven, which the Church celebrates annually on August 15th.
In many rural areas it is customary that on this day herbal bundles (called "Kruggweusch" in the Rhenish dialect) are collected by the population and blessed in the festival service.

The Catholic Parish Church of the Assumption of Mary in Deggendorf stands on truly
historic ground: rising on the foundations of three of its predecessor churches, it is the spiritual center of the city's Catholic parish and its members.

Located between Regensburg and Passau, in the small town of Deggendorf, the
Parish of the Assumption of Mary looks back on almost a thousand years of history.

Incorporating the previous, late-Gothic choir, the present church was
built in the 17th century. After a devastating fire 100 years later,
reconstruction had to begin again. Since another renovation in 1889, the magnificent church
can be entered via a sweeping open staircase.

Its interior exudes a bright atmosphere: artistic stucco work is illuminated by the
sunlight streaming through the large windows. An elaborate Rococo pulpit
with numerous golden ornaments adds splendor to the Assumption of Mary, and the ceiling and wall paintings also contribute to the festive atmosphere. A relief depicting the Flight to Egypt, dating back to the 13th century, has been preserved from what was probably the first Romanesque church. Television has also discovered this wonderful atmosphere, broadcasting a ZDF television service from the parish church.
