Official description of the municipal coat of arms awarded in 1991: In green, two diagonally crossed flags on black poles; the left golden flag with a green hop vine with a leaf and four umbels, the right silver flag with a continuous red cross. The community colors are green and white.

The flag images underline the community's economic and ecclesiastical concerns: the hop vine pays tribute to Auberg as the largest growing area in the Mühlviertel of the most important raw material for beer production alongside barley. The cross flag refers to the Hollerberg branch church consecrated to St. George.

history

Originally located in the eastern part of the Duchy of Bavaria, the place belonged to the Duchy of Austria since the 12th century. Since 1490 it has been assigned to the Principality of Austria ob der Enns .

During the Napoleonic Wars , the place was occupied several times.

Since 1918 the place belongs to the federal state of Upper Austria. After the annexation of Austria to the German Reich on March 13, 1938, the place belonged to the Gau Oberdonau . After 1945 the restoration of Upper Austria took place.

Originally, the community had been part of the Neufelden judicial district since 1850 , but after its dissolution it was assigned to the Rohrbach judicial district on January 1, 2003.

Population development

In 1991 the municipality had 618 inhabitants according to the census. Because of the strong emigration, the population fell to 535 inhabitants by 2001 despite the positive birth balance. From 2001 to 2011, both the birth balance and the migration balance were positive, so that the population rose to 593. By 2019, however, the population had dropped back to 558.

Unterkagererhof

The Unterkagererhof in the municipality was opened on June 20, 1992 as the Upper Austrian open-air museum "Obermühlviertler Denkmalhof Unterkagerer". The owners are the 42 communities in the Rohrbach district. As a museum operator, the “Obermühlviertler Denkmalhof Unterkagerer” association strives to maintain and manage this cultural gem. The aim of this association is to make the everyday life of the ancestors understandable to the visitors of the Unterkagererhof.

The essential importance of the Unterkagererhof lies in its structural uniqueness which still exists today as it looked more than 100 years ago and sometimes even more than 300 years ago. The renovation and renewal forms that have emerged over time, such as B. Doors and their painting are already museum objects.

Every year there is an extensive cultural program at the Unterkagererhof with readings, concerts, children's theater, witch market and events for the maintenance of customs and old rural handicrafts. There is a small seminar room in the annex.

particularities

Single-shift farm (usually older than village settlements). In the Urbar (medieval land register) from 1378 of the St. Florian monastery near Linz it says, among other things, "... two fiefs on the chager ..." Typical four-sided courtyard in the Upper Mühlviertel. North-east corner (near the vegetable garden): semicircular part of the wall, bumped outwards, unplastered, made of field stones, is an old oven (was previously available in this form in many farmhouses).

Residential building (house floor), older than the stable building: Tamped clay floor and belt arch vault in the front building, which is designed as a so-called through-house, from which all other living rooms can be reached. Wooden ceiling, so-called " Riemling ceiling " in the room; Main tram with carved year 1678. Heating system, consisting of a tiled stove in the living room, an oven to be loaded from the front building, a “black kitchen” for smelling meat and the central fireplace above the oven. Garments to the room windows funnel-shaped towards the room - greatest possible light control in the room. Cellar to the left of the front door, storage and cider storage. Cowshed (probably renewed a few decades ago): Monolithic granite slabs between the stands (slabs made from a single stone). The door and window frames of the stable wing were made of solid granite, while the window walls of the residential wing were made of simple stone blocks (residential buildings from an earlier era as stable wing). Göpelhütte including Göpel to drive the chopping machine (barn). Servant's chamber above the pigsty in the courtyard hut (shotgun to the northwest).
