Landkreis Straubing-Bogen

Theorganisation is the district administration (Landkreis) of Straubing‑Bogen, located in Bavaria, Germany. Its headquarters are situated in the town of Straubing. As a local authority, it carries out administrative functions for the geographic area of the district. It provides services and support to residents, businesses, and other institutions operating within its jurisdiction. The organisation works alongside regional agencies to fulfill responsibilities such as infrastructure maintenance and public order. It serves as the point of contact for governmental matters affecting the Straubing‑Bogen region.

A notable aspect of the organisation is its association with the Straubing criminal police investigation unit, which maintains a Quick‑Reaction Team for cyber incidents. In May 2023 this team was deployed to assist a car dealership in the Landkreis that had been hit by a ransomware attack. The unit secured digital evidence and supported the business’s IT restoration, although no ransom demand or data exfiltration was identified. This response illustrates the organisation’s capability to mobilise specialised cyber‑crime resources when needed. Structurally, the Landkreis Straubing‑Bogen is a public sector entity under the authority of the Bavarian state government. It operates without private ownership and its mandate is defined by regional legislation governing local administration.
