History

edit

Prackenbach was mentioned in 1280 as a noble residence. The Schälchl zu Krailing family owned the Hofmark in the 15th and 16th centuries in the Krailing district. The residence belonged to the Straubing Rentamt and the Viechtach District Court of the Electorate of Bavaria. In the course of the administrative reforms in the Kingdom of Bavaria, today's community came into being with the municipal edict of 1818. On May 1, 1978, the previously independent communities of Moosbach and Ruhmannsdorf were incorporated.
