The Burgberg is probably the most historic place in all of Vohburg. Finds allow the conclusion that the strategically favorable place already around 1500 BC. BC (Bronze Age) was populated. Around 895 (Carolingian period) a “larger fortified courtyard” on the castle hill is mentioned. The gentlemen on the Vohburg came from the Staufer, Diepoldinger and Wittelsbacher families. Duke Ludwig der Strenge had the castle demonstrably expanded in 1255 as the administrative center of its entire territory. All the country's coin taxes (from Ingolstadt, Munich, Kitzbühel, etc.) flowed to Vohburg. It is believed that Vohburg was elevated to town at this time. In 1105 the castle was destroyed for the first time by Emperor Heinrich IV. The second time in 1316 due to inheritance disputes between the sons of Duke Ludwig the Strict. After the final destruction of the Vohburg by the Swedes in the Thirty Years' War, the heyday of Vohburg was over and the market was called again. It was not until 1952 that Vohburg was raised to the status of a “city” under Mayor Hierhammer because of its historical past and urban character.
