Erding (German pronunciation: [ˈeːɐ̯dɪŋ] ⓘ) is a town in Bavaria, Germany, and capital of the rural district of the same name.
Evidence of prehistoric hunter/gatherers in the Erding area dates to c. 6000 BC, findings including an axe made of deer antler.
In 1945, several Allied air raids on the nearby military airport damaged the city and killed numerous inhabitants.
Farm fields surround Erding and large agricultural vehicles are a common sight on local roads.
Local crops include corn for animal feed, wheat, sunflowers, carrots, white/red/blue/green cabbages, strawberries, kohlrabi, turnips, and sugar beet.
