Oberschneiding is a municipality in the district of Straubing-Bogen in Bavaria, Germany.

It is located in the south of the "Gäuboden", a very high-producing area famous for its agriculture.

Many discoveries of skeletons, sherds, and daub prove the existence of settlements from the Stone Age.

The "Brevivarius Urolfi", a document written in the monastery of Niederaltaich, names a village called "Snudinga".

This name - like all Bavarian towns that end on ing - goes back to the leader of the clan that founded the settlement, Snudo.
