history
Neolithic finds testify that hunting and gathering nomadic indigenous people stayed in the area at least for a time. The Celtic tribes of the Bojer and Narister settled there in pre-Christian times . After the turmoil of the Great Migration and the Avar invasions, the Slavs are likely to have settled from the Gallneukirchen basin in the 8th century . The Slavic roots of the place names Weitrag and Kulm (" hill ") are a reminder of this. In the 9th century , the Bavarian farmers came with the first wave of settlement . From this time the name Bayring indicates the ethnicity of the villagers. During this first period of settlement and Christianization, which was carried out very intensively by the Passau bishopric , most of the community area was reclaimed.
If you consider the area's ties to Passau, it is not surprising that the municipality is mentioned for the first time in a Passau document from probably 1245. A gentleman "Karolus de Maltenperg" appears to be the penultimate witness of the confirmation document of the Passau bishop Rüdiger von Bergheim from October 31, 1245 about the enfeoffment of Gundacker III. von Steyr with the rulership of Wildberg . Only three years later, however, the place name "Altenperge" can also be found in a Passau document, when a certain "Perhtoldus de Altenperge" is mentioned.
Originally located in the eastern part of the Duchy of Bavaria, the place has belonged to the Duchy of Austria since the 12th century and to the Principality of Austria ob der Enns since 1490 . During the Napoleonic Wars , the place was occupied several times and has since returned to Upper Austria .

Culture and sights
- Altenberg parish church near Linz : Way of the Cross: Herbert Friedl has depicted Jesus' Way of the Cross on 15 picture panels in a way that is open to finding traces of suffering from all times. The text “Legacy” reads as a prologue to the Way of the Cross, reminding of the social commitment of St. Elisabeth . As an epilogue, Mother Teresa is exemplary for many who have followed the call to “follow”. The fragile material glass was used as the image carrier , as a symbol of human vulnerability. The blanks for the woodcut come from the barracks of the Mauthausen concentration camp . Wooden beams are also the basic motif on the panel paintings, the number, color and shape of which vary. In some cases, real materials such as shoulder straps, fabric and nails were incorporated into the design. Each station indicates the Passion of Jesus with the Roman numeral and a verb.
