History
Fürstenstein belonged to the Counts de la Perusa. The village was part of the Electorate of Bavaria and formed a closed Hofmark whose seat was Castle Fürstenstein. Created in 1818 the municipality.
The construction of the bridge over the Danube at Vilshofen was 1871/72 the impetus for the development of its rich granite deposit at Fürstenstein. In the following decades produced numerous quarries in the area as well as ten granite works in which different types of paving stones were produced.
The year 1913 brought the connection to the railway Deggendorf Kalteneck that helped in the 1920s the Prince Steiner granite industry to a new period of prosperity. The global economic crisis had an impact then in Fürstenstein particularly difficult with hundreds of unemployed.
In April 1945, met at the station of the district Nammering an evacuation train from Buchenwald with 4480 prisoners from the Buchenwald concentration camp that no longer came up to their intended destination in the Dachau concentration camp. Of exhaustion and by the brutal treatment of SS guards killed 794 of the prisoners, who were buried or distributed to various cemeteries. Several memorial stones and a memorial remember this happening.
In 1958, 10 people took the company Ernst Roeder stone, special factory for capacitors GmbH and production on. In the years 1960 and 1961 the work in Upper Polling was substantially expanded. At the beginning of the 1980s worked over 1 100 employees here.
