Aiterhofen is a municipality in the district of Straubing-Bogen in Bavaria, Germany.
It is located about 5 km southeast of Straubing in the Gäuboden.
Aiterhofen has been settled since the Neolithic Era as the discovery of the largest cemetery of the Linear Pottery culture in Germany (about 260 tombs) has shown.
In 773, Aiterhofen (Eitraha) is documented as the residence of one of the Agilolfing Dukes. Around 973, another documentation as Eitarahoue (Farmyard at the Eiterach) exists. An Annalist of the 11th century falsely interpreted the name as Farmyard of Poison (poison = pus = Eiter). The actual meaning comes from the indogermanic oid for swelling, the old high German aha for water and hof for farmyard. Therefore, the meaning of the name can be interpreted as estate at the swelling stream, which shows the reference to the Aiterach River.
Approximately in the first quarter of the 13th century the Roman Catholic parish church St. Margaretha was constructed. The church has the oldest bell in lower bavaria (1325). Only the northern tower of what wasinitially planned as a twin towers church was constructed. In 1883 the Rococo furnishings from the 18th century were removed. The adjacent grave yard chapel was probably constructed during the 17th century.
In 1846, Angela Fraundorfer founded the Franciscan Convent of Aiterhofen, which, among other things, was aimed at the education of girls. It currently operates a kindergarten, a female-only secondary school and several other facilities.
Some recent population figures of the municipality are as follows: 1970 2.424, 1987 2.749, 2000 3.178, 2005 3.466, 2008 3.422
