Antiesenhofen

Antiesenhofen is 346 m above sea level in the Innviertel - the highest point in the municipality is 440 m above sea level. The extension is from north to south 4.3 km, from west to east 3.9 km. The total area is 8.6 km². 11.6% of the area is forested, 65.1% of the area is used for agriculture.

The eponymous Antiesen also flows through the place . Its mouth was originally located about two kilometers further northeast in the area of the municipality of St. Marienkirchen near Schärding . Today's Antiesen estuary was created in 1612 when the river broke through a marl bar upstream and shortened its course. An essay by Theodor Ebner (1876–1946), which was republished in 2003, deals with the history of the Antiesen estuary and the pre-Christian settlement in the area.

history

Epitaph of the chopping leather in the parish church

Alongside the neighboring Münsteuer, Antiesenhofen is one of the oldest parishes in the Innviertel, but the neighboring villages were already settled in Roman times.

Since the founding of the Duchy of Bavaria, the place was Bavarian until 1779 and came to Austria after the Treaty of Teschen with the Innviertel (then Innbaiern ). When the area was occupied by the Habsburgs during the War of the Spanish Succession , Antiesenhofen belonged to Prince Trautson's County Ried, which only existed from 1711 to 1714 . Briefly Bavarian again during the Napoleonic Wars , it has been part of Upper Austria since 1816.

After the annexation of Austria to the German Reich on March 13, 1938, the place belonged to the Gau Oberdonau . In 1945 Upper Austria was restored.

The grave of the owners of Maasbach Castle is in the parish church of Antiesenhofen, where the lords of the castle were buried until the end of the 18th century. The former Maasbacher burial chapel has meanwhile been furnished with benches and integrated into the choir of the church.

Population development

The cause of the growth up to 1991 and above all the strong growth from 1991 to 2001 are the positive birth balance and the positive migration balance . From 2001 to 2011 the migration balance turned negative and could not be offset by the positive birth balance.
