runding

Runding may refer to several related uses in Germany. The most common reference is Runding, a municipality in the Free State of Bavaria, Germany. It is located in the eastern part of Bavaria, in the district of Straubing-Bogen within the region of Niederbayern. The surrounding countryside is part of the Bavarian Forest and features rural settlements, forests, and small-scale farming. The municipality comprises several villages and has medieval roots reflected in its place-name attested in historical records. As in many Bavarian municipalities, the economy is driven by agriculture, forestry, and local services, with residents commuting to larger towns for work.

Runding is also a German surname. As a toponymic surname, it originates from the town name and was historically borne by families from the Runding area or its environs. Surnames of this type often spread through migration within Germany and into neighboring regions during the early modern period and later.

In English-language references, Runding is primarily found in German geographic and genealogical contexts. There are no widely known institutions, organizations, or concepts that bear the name in other domains.
