Amelsdorf is a village and cadastral municipality in the market town of Burgschleinitz-Kühnring in the Horn district .

geography

Amelsdorf is at the intersection of Horner Straße B4 and Landesstraße L1235. The Amelsdorferbach rises in the area of ​​the village and flows into the Schleinzbach after 1½ km , a tributary of the Schmida .

history

Amelsdorf was first mentioned in 1250 as Amlungensdorf in connection with Otto von Sleuvnz, who had goods from Passau as a fief. Therefore Amelsdorf should have belonged to Passau. In 1285, Chunigunde von Sleuvnz handed over ownership to Ulrich von Hochstetten.

The next mention is from the year 1353 on the occasion of the transfer to the parish of Gars, and at the same time bison is mentioned for the first time.

The village of Amelsdorf was connected to the power grid in 1927. Whether at the same time or a little later the Wisent manor was electrified outside the village cannot be determined. The school town of Sachsendorf, responsible for the towns of Amelsdorf, Buttendorf , Sachsendorf and Reikersdorf , got the power connection in 1930.

The Amelsdorf children had to attend the one-class eight-year elementary school in Sachsendorf until it was closed in 1972.

Local chapel

Amelsdorf local chapel

The local chapel was built in 1879. Whether there was a bell tower or a chapel before or just the chapel in Wisent cannot be traced. Mr. Lorenz Schlosser is named as the founder. In the middle of 1936 the chapel received a new cross and a copper scroll from the previous cross was taken over into this new cross, which probably contains old writings and which could contain some information about the chapel. The chapel is dedicated to Saints Peter and Paul. At the altar there are two large statues that are said to come from the Wisent farm and that depict the hll. Depicting Francis and Urban. The chapel is under monument protection ( list entry ).

Originally the chapel only had a tin bell. It dates from 1744 and was cast by Ferdinand Vötterlechner in Krems . At the beginning of the Second World War the bell was drawn in and should be melted down. Two courageous women (the siblings Leopoldine Boigenfürst and Anna Nöbauer) collected iron notes and thereby managed to buy a cast steel bell.

old cast bell

After 1945 the pastor Ebner from Burgschleinitz went looking for the retracted bells from the parish. He found the Amelsdorf bell in Vienna, it was consecrated again on July 18, 1948 and raised in the tower so that there were now two bells in the tower. Franz Troje rang the two bells manually at 6, 11, 12 and 7 p.m., and at 11 a.m. the tin bell was used. After Troy's death, a crack was found in the cast bell. In 1981, the local population under Mayor Trauner bought a new bell with donations, including an electric bell, which the Abbot of Altenburg, Father Bernhard Naber , consecrated. In the meantime it is no longer possible to ring the pewter bell because the bell cage is in very poor condition.

During a break-in, the sacred objects made of wood, two of the four angels, the Trinity and a lecture cross were stolen. To this day, the break-in and whereabouts of the objects have not been clarified.

Attractions

• Listed local chapel St. Peter and Paul
• Wisent Castle is around 1 km east of the town center. Although Amelsdorf was electrified in the last 1920s, the steam engine was used to drive the threshing machine until the mid-1950s, because this was not only possible in the courtyard of the estate, but also in the fields. Today the grain harvest takes place with a self-propelled combine harvester of a contract thresher.

Wayside shrine (1955)

• Kellermarterl: The classicist Marterl rests on a square concrete base. The shaft has a central cartridge on the front, on which profiled plates with a group of figures Mercy Seat . It shows God the Father holding his dead son on his knees; at the feet of the crucified one the Holy Spirit with outspread wings. The monument probably dates from 1871. Originally, the Marterl stood at the junction of the Kellergassenweg. When the bypass is being built, it will be relocated to the western exit of the B4 just before the Amelsdorf sign ( Lage ).
