history

Finds of human settlements (some residential pits and a pottery kiln) date from the Hallstatt period (around 600 years before Christ) and were found in systematic excavations in 1965 and 1967 on the local mountain of the Klammhof in Auhof. An extensive processing of the finds was carried out by the Perg Heimatverein, which exhibits them in the Heimathaus-Stadtmuseum Perg .

During the excavations just mentioned, a grave field with 130 graves including grave goods and a pagan burial site was uncovered and dated to the period from the 6th to the 8th century AD, which means that the presence of old Slavic farmers alongside the Baier-Franconian population could be proven.

Auhof Castle is located in the village of Auhof , a noble seat of Dietrich and Dietmar von Au first mentioned at the end of the 13th century, which in the 17th century belonged to Joachim Enzmilner and then to Baumgartenberg monastery for more than two centuries .
