history

The earliest evidence of history is the earth wall, popularly known as the “Turk's Hill” and located in the Purgstall corridor, which is a Bronze Age section fortification. The facility is located on a plateau between the steep slopes leading to the Kalkofengraben and the Ybbs. Excavations in 1954 produced ceramic and bone finds that were ascribed to the end of the Early Bronze Age and the urnfield culture .

The place dates back to the 10th century. The name appears for the first time in a document from 1116 as Adelhartesperge . This year, Bishop Ulrich I of Passau hands over the parish Aschbach with its daughter churches, including Allhartsberg, to the Seitenstetten Monastery. Count Gero von Seeburg and Gleiß equips the church with goods.

In the 14th century the family acquired those of Alhartesperch way of exchange by then-ruler Duke Leopold the rule Klingenberg in today's Upper Austria. Allhartsberg now became sovereign and remained so until the 17th century. In 1666 the area of today's Rotten Allhartsberg and Maierhofen came into the possession of the Count Lamberg from Steyr.

In 1529, hordes of the Turks set fire to the church and part of the town. The Protestant religion was able to gain a foothold in Allhartsberg, and Protestant pastors worked here for a while. At the beginning of the 19th century, Napoleon's troops marched through Allhartsberg, plundering. After 1848 the local community Allhartsberg was established.

The St. The parish church in Allhartsberg, consecrated to Katharina, was probably founded in the 11th century and came to the Seitenstetten Abbey in 1116 .

Until 1783 the pilgrimage church on Sonntagberg and the parish of Windhag belonged to the parish. In 1932, Kematen-Gleiß left as a separate parish.
