Töging am Inn can be explored through a range of topics: its development from a small farming village into an “industrial village,” the history of the power plant, cultural offerings, and a pilgrimage route with Altötting as its destination. When planning your trip, you can decide whether you are most interested in local history, technology, concerts, or a route with religious significance.
Local History and Industrial Culture
The Töging Local History Museum presents the history of the town in six rooms, up to the industrialization of the early 20th century. The transformation from a small farming village into an “industrial village” gives this historical period a clear focus. The museum also features finds from the Stone Age, Bronze Age, and Roman period. This means early eras and the town’s later development are covered under the same museum theme. The stated opening hours for the Local History Museum are 2 to 5 p.m. on the first Sunday of each month. Before your visit, check whether these hours apply on your travel date.
The history of the Töging power plant can also be traced through specific milestones. In September 1924, the first of a total of 15 generating units went into operation. The facility was fully automated in 1996, while its basic structure was preserved. The power plant is considered a historically significant pioneering engineering achievement. The two dates refer to different milestones: the first generating unit began operating in 1924, while the facility was fully automated in 1996.
