location

Attnang is now a town and includes around 700 buildings with 3500 inhabitants. It extends on the terrace between Kohlaichbach and Redlbach / Lehbach , along the Attnang-Puchheim train station and Bundesstraße 1 Wiener Straße .

The historic town center was in the north, on the Redlbach, where the Salzburger Strasse / Linzer Strasse , the old trunk road, crosses it, between the Spitzberg and the Hargl hill - it is now called Alt-Attnang . There is also the old parish church Attnang St. Martin , and the local cemetery is to the west of it.

Today's town center, originally Neu-Attnang at the train station, with the parish church of Hl. Geist and the town hall , was largely rebuilt after 1945 and extends between Bahnhofstraße (B 1), Römerstraße and Spitzberg.

On the other side of the train station, on Salzburger Straße , there are other districts, the boundaries to the town of Puchheim and Niederstraße are not recognizable.

history

Attnang-Puchheim station, forecourt facing the city on the B 1

Attnang was originally a small settlement. It is first mentioned as Otenang in 1242 and had around 40 buildings around 1800 and around 120 buildings around 1900. However, it was already of political importance in the Middle Ages and was the seat of the Attnang office of the Wartenburg rule . It was also always larger than the old community capital Puchheim, to which it was assigned when the political communities were established after 1849 .

Even before the turn of the century won Attnang as the location of the station of kk privileged Empress Elisabeth Railway in importance as a coal trading center of Niederstrasser train to Thomasroith , and from 1877 to the time of the upcoming summer increasingly important node with the Crown Prince Rudolf Railway (today Salzkammergutbahn ): Between 1890 and 1910 the population tripled to over 2000 inhabitants. In 1912 the community name Puchheim was changed to Attnang-Puchheim due to the growing importance of the place .

On April 21, 1945 the area around the station was devastated by US bombing raids. After the end of the war, the town center was rebuilt. With the relocation of the municipal office to Neu-Attnang, Attnang became the main town of the market town from 1955 and, from 1990, the township .
