The terrain in Absdorf is mostly flat, but it has several hills and low mountains, especially the steep terrain of the Loess Wagram. The Schmida and the Schmidamühlbach, which is derived from it, flow through the market town of Absdorf from north to south-east .
The entire area in and around Absdorf is covered with Quaternary deposits from the post-glacial Holocene . There are mainly fluvial sediments deposited by the Danube , and to a limited extent also organic and anthropogenic deposits. Furthermore, 9.6–11.3 meters thick sand gravel can be found in Absdorf, which form low elevations. These have a high lime content and a high percentage of garnet and amphibole .

climate
Absdorf has the ideal climate for viticulture. In summer it is quite warm during the day, but periods of heat or humidity rarely occur; the nights bring strong cooling. The climate is very sunny and dry; precipitation barely reaches 1,000 millimeters per year. In summer the average temperature is 25 ° C, in winter around 3 ° C; But snow is rare. Fog is rare in all seasons and usually only lasts for a very short time.
history
Finds prove the settlement of the place as early as the Bronze Age and La Tène period . Findings of pitfalls and mammoth teeth reveal mammoth hunters from the Ice Age. They hunted along the Schmida river, which also flows through Absdorf. In the Bronze and La Tène periods, several settlements emerged on the Wagram River; The Celts also cultivated wine . At this time there were trade relations with the Greeks , as proven by coin finds from the empire of Alexander the Great . The wine trade got a big boom with the occupation by the Romans. The northern border between the Romans and the Alamanni was formed by the Limes , which ran along the Danube near Absdorf. The migrations of the Germanic peoples from the 3rd to the 6th century were the trigger that many vineyards were abandoned and destroyed. It was only with the expansion of the Franconian Empire that viticulture became the community's main livelihood again.
From the first half of the 9th century there is a burial ground with characteristic Danube Slavic finds, which can be recognized by the costume and the burial ritual. The fact that after the middle of the 9th century there were almost no other burials or toppings with food additions and vessels suggests the advancing Christianization during this time.
Absdorf was first mentioned in a document in 864, when the German King Ludwig the Pious gave the so-called land on the Smidaha between Wagram and Danube to Niederaltaich Abbey in Bavaria . In 1011 King Heinrich renewed the donation. The Abbatesdorf named in the document is identical to today's Absdorf. The church dedicated to St. Mauritius, a farmyard and a mill mentioned by name “at Abtsperg” already existed at that time. The few monasteries, which were mostly foundations of the Bavarian monasteries and profited from the conquest of new areas by the Avars , created the economic base through the trade in wine that they produced.
During the Thirty Years' War the dairy in Absdorf was completely destroyed and the wine-growing areas were attacked by pathogens. Napoleon is said to have stayed at the Meierhof on August 9, 1809 .
Absdorf later gained importance as an important railway junction. There has been a train station in the village since 1870 on the section of the Kaiser-Franz-Josephs-Bahn from Vienna Franz-Josefs-Bahnhof to Eggenburg . In 1872 the railway was extended to Krems , Wachau , Stockerau and Vienna-Floridsdorf .
During the Second World War , all the vineyards were destroyed by bombs, so that the wine trade, which has always been the main source of income for the community, was paralyzed. Absdorf was soon rebuilt and the vineyards were set up again. Thus the income of the wine growers was secured again.
coat of arms
Absdorf was only awarded a coat of arms in 1964. The heraldic shield with a green three-mountain in the shield base is split into silver and blue. In front there is a golden episcopal miter on an oblique golden bishop's staff with the curve pointing to the upper edge of the shield and behind a heraldic left winged golden wheel on a silver ear of corn inclined to the left.

In contrast to many smaller places in Lower Austria, there has been no tendency to migrate to the surrounding cities in recent years. On the contrary, while Absdorf grew by 17.2% between 1991 and 2001, the increase in the entire Tulln district was only 12.1%.
