history

In the 1st century AD the Romans had a fort here . After their withdrawal, the area of ​​today's large community was in the border area of ​​the Avar and Bavarian rule. After the final conquest of the Avar Empire by the Frankish Emperor Charlemagne in 803, the settlement of the village of Kirchbach began. The resulting place was now in the area of ​​the Baierischen Ostland . At the end of the 8th century, the Franks built a "little church on the brook". In the year 1112 Wrogen is first mentioned and called "Werdarin". At that time the Tullnerfeld was colonized as planned. The street villages on Lower Austrian soil date from this time . The structure of the street villages can still be seen very well, especially in Wrogen . St. Andrä appears in a document from around 1140 in a deed of donation to Klosterneuburg Abbey . From 1185 to 1803 St. Andrä was owned by the Diocese of Passau . During the Turkish invasion in 1683 , the place was plundered and devastated.

The community files show that in 1847 there were 35 farmers, 16 tusks and 30 residents in St. Andrä. The oldest house is the so-called "Moserhaus" in Wallenböckgasse 1.

In 1972 the parishes of St. Andrä vor dem Hagenthale, Wierter, Greifenstein, Hintersdorf and Kirchbach were merged and the new name of the parish was determined to be St. Andrä-Wierter.
