Obernzell (Central Bavarian: Obanzoi) is a municipality in the district of Passau in Bavaria in Germany.

The middle of the Danube River forms the border with Upper Austria.

During this time, processing of clay and graphite was the most important economic factor.

The crucibles made Obernzell so famous that Bernhard Grueber and Adalbert Müller in 1846 The Bavarian Forest wrote in her book: : Obernzell notwithstanding its smallness abroad known than many German residence city this reputation it owes the unsurpassable crucibles, which are manufactured here and shipped in half the worldObernzell ist ungeachtet seiner Kleinheit im Auslande bekannter, als manche deutsche Residenzstadt.

Diesen Ruf verdankt es den unübertrefflichen Schmelztiegeln, welche hier verfertigt und in die halbe Welt versendet werden.Once an independent municipality, Ederlsdorf was incorporated on July 1, 1972.
