Neulengbach is a town with 8,304 inhabitants (as of January 1, 2020) in the Vienna Woods , which was granted town charter in 2000, in the St. Pölten-Land district in Lower Austria , Austria . It is located 36 km west of Vienna and is a member of the Vienna Woods Initiative Region .

geography

Neulengbach lies on the Laabenbach , which is called Große Tulln from the confluence of the Anzbach . In the municipality of Neulengbach we find the confluences of the Buchenbach (with the Querbachl tributary), Medunabach, Dambach, Haagbach, Seebach and Anzbach . The Raipoltenbach would flow across from Markersdorf, but was diverted early to the Mühlbach (Griesmühle) so that it only flows into the Große Tulln after Habersdorf. The Kirschnerwaldbach flows into the Anzbach in Neulengbach from the right in the Au district . A small part of the municipality of Neulengbach is drained towards the Perschling: The Unterwolfsbach district is located on the Wolfsbach, which flows into the Totzenbach near Kirchstetten . Both drain the southwest part of the Haspelwald. The Totzenbach then takes the Sichelbach on the left and flows north of Böheimkirchen in Michelbach / Perschling . The south-western tip of the municipality (Rothenbucherhöhe / Trainst) is also drained via the Stallbach to Stössingbach / Michelbach / Perschling . The northern end of the municipality is bounded by the Haspelwald . The highest point, however, is the Trainst located in the southwest at 520 m.

geology

From the source to Neulengbach-Haag, the Laabenbach flows through the flysch zone , which consists primarily of sandstones , which alternate with claystones and , more rarely, marlstones , occasionally limestone . This sandstone-rich rock sequence is characteristic of the Vienna Woods. The rocks are practically impermeable to water, so rainwater gets into the river after a short time.

In Neulengbach the river then crosses the very narrow zone of the subalpine molasse . These are conglomerates ( Buchberg , Neulengbacher Schlossberg) and fine-grained sediments , but due to the narrow width of this zone, they do not lead to any noticeable seepage . From Inprugg the Große Tulln flows through the Molasse zone . These are mainly sands , silts and clays (" Schlier "), which are sometimes overlaid by loess . Even these mostly poorly consolidated loose rock are only slightly permeable to water.

From Judenau downstream, the Great Tulln crosses a wide Quaternary gravel area, the Tullnerfeld, to its confluence with the Danube .

On September 15, 1590, the Neulengbach earthquake, one of the worst earthquakes in Austria's history, occurred. The earthquake is estimated to have a magnitude of 5.75 or 6.0 on the Richter scale .

history

The castle or the castle Neulengbach

In the 12th century, the Lords of Lengenbach established Neulengbach Castle, a regional center of power. The market in Neulengbach developed around their castle and was given market rights again in 1535 after an older document was lost during the Turkish storm in 1529. Castle mistress Sidonia Palffy successfully defended the castle during the Turkish invasion in 1683, while the market went up in flames. In 1696 the Bartholotti family acquired the castle and the estate. In 1746 the Lubomirsky princes became lords of Neulengbach. From 1823 to 1920 the palace was then owned by the Liechtenstein family. In 1850 the community and the judicial district Neulengbach was established. In 2000 the place received city rights.

Next to the Neulengbach cemetery there is a military cemetery with fallen members of the Wehrmacht and the town's war memorial, as well as a Russian military cemetery with 14 mass and 163 individual graves. These were occupied with dead between April and July 1945.

The renumbering of confusing addresses , which was decided at the beginning of 2018, had to be awaited due to the advance of the National Council election and the municipal council election in early 2020 and was only carried out in the course of 2020.

Attractions

The district court with the museum and the " squint cell "

• The courthouse is a three-winged late Renaissance building originally built around 1620 under Freiherr Johann Eusebius Khuen, which was expanded in the middle of the 19th century and in 1951.
• Museum Neulengbach in the courthouse

The Neulengbach Museum was founded in 1921 as the “District Museum” of Hietzing and the surrounding area and is likely to have gained great importance for the wider area soon after it was founded. Its inventory included, among other things, important prehistoric finds, a hand-painted Bible on parchment paper and the skeleton of a Janissary who fell in the Turkish Wars. At that time, the museum was housed in the meeting room of the old town hall of Neulengbach. How it was conducted during the Second World War is still uncertain. In the first days of April 1945 when fighting broke out between the Soviet Army and the German Wehrmacht in Neulengbach , the museum was looted; most of the objects have been lost these days. As a result, the museum was initially closed. However, targeted collective calls for objects soon started and smaller exhibitions were organized, for which, among other things, models of the most important castles in the area were made. In this way, a presentable collection was gradually brought together, so that the museum could be reopened in 1961, this time under the more modest name “Heimatmuseum”. It was located in the front part of the old courthouse, where it remained open to the public until the mid-1980s, before it had to be closed due to lack of space. This closure also meant a loss of exhibits for the museum, as many lenders took back their pieces.

On the occasion of Neulengbach's town elevation, the existing holdings were moved to the former offices of the district court. A small study collection was made accessible to visitors under the name "Museum Neulengbach". It can be visited as part of the city tours and was open regularly on Sundays for the first time in 2005 between May and October.

In 2005 an inventory project was also carried out, in the course of which the entire museum inventory was electronically recorded.

Egon Schiele was imprisoned in the prisoner's wing of the district court in the same building , as the museum reminds us of.
