history
Before the birth of Christ, the area was part of the Celtic Kingdom of Noricum and belonged to the surroundings of the Celtic hill settlement Burg on the Schwarzenbacher Burgberg .
Later under the Romans, today's Bad Erlach was then in the province of Pannonia .
Erlach was first mentioned in 987 in a document lying in the castle church of Ebenfurth . In this it is stated that people from "Elira" built a thank you chapel for St. Ortisei. In 1045 "Erlaha" was first mentioned in a document as a village under the ministerials of the Counts of "Wels-Lambach".
Ulrichskirche was closed in 1780 under Emperor Josef II.
The era of industrialization began in Erlach in 1850 with the establishment of a spinning and weaving factory . On the initiative of Baron Kempen von Fichtenstein, the Ulrichskirche was renovated and reopened in 1858. In 1871 the previously independent municipality of Brunn-Linsberg was incorporated into the municipality of Erlach.
With the opening of the Aspang Railway on August 7, 1881, Erlach received the long-awaited railway connection , which had a particularly positive effect on the development of the economy.
On June 29, 1995, the Lower Austrian state parliament unanimously decided to raise Erlach to the status of a “market town”. The market survey ceremony took place as part of a large festival on September 5, 1996.
Together with the Lower Austrian state government and the Congregation of the Salvatorians, the construction of a retirement home was started in 2001, which today is an important economic agent of the community.
In 2004, drilling was successfully carried out in the area of the Linsberg cadastral community to develop thermal water. After initial financial problems, construction of the Linsberg thermal baths began in February 2007 and went into operation on August 8, 2008.
On March 22, 2007, the municipality of Erlach was given the name “ Bad ” Erlach in accordance with a resolution of the Lower Austrian state government .
On February 15, 2013, the groundbreaking ceremony for the construction of the health center took place and thus the first step towards the Bad Erlach health cluster. The 25 million euro project is supported by the state of Lower Austria and the Ecoplus regional funding on the initiative of the regional economist Petra Bohuslav . The new health center with 192 beds, which will be designed to treat cancer patients, is due to be completed by October 2014.
coat of arms
The municipality of Erlach was given a municipal coat of arms by resolution of the Lower Austrian state government on April 16, 1996.
Blazon :
- "In a blue shield, made of golden three-mountain, half a golden wheel, growing out of it a silver man, holding a silver staff with an Ulrich cross in his right hand, his left arm in his side."
At the same time, the community colors “yellow-blue-white” set by the council of the market town of Erlach were approved.
Population development
Bad Erlach is a prosperous municipality whose population has increased steadily since 1991. Bad Erlach has become more attractive, particularly through the creation of starter apartments for young families, the construction of residential complexes and the creation of inexpensive building sites. This is particularly underlined by the number of private households, whose number rose from 876 (1991) to 1,050 (2001).
According to the results of the 2001 census , the market town of Bad Erlach had 2,531 inhabitants. A survey of December 31, 2007 showed an increase of 10.8% to 2,729 residents within the last six years. Since the birth balance has developed negatively, this increase is due to the large influx.

- Catholic parish church Bad Erlach hl. Anton: The St. Antonius Church (patron saint Antonius of Padua, June 13th patronage), built according to the plans of the then master builder of St. Stefan in Vienna, Prof. Karl Holey, replaced the nearby church, built in the 17th century The local chapel, built in the 18th century, is reminiscent of the brick industry that once dominated Bad Erlach, with the shape and the round tower of the building. The newly designed chancel in the parish church was opened in 1998 by Archbishop Dr. Consecrated to Christoph Cardinal Schönborn.
- Erlacher Madonna: The 166 cm tall wooden sculpture, created around 1320 to 1330, is one of those rare depictions of the Madonna where the child is held by Mary's right arm. It is not known how long the statue was in the Ulrichskirche before it was purchased by the Archbishop's Cathedral and Diocesan Museum in Vienna in 1939. In 1991 a copy of the Madonna was brought back to Erlach and placed in a niche in the Antonius Church.
- Ulrichskirche with forest cemetery and Stations of the Cross: The current Ulrichskirche dates from the 13th century, which is confirmed by the grave slab on the outside. It is believed that monks settled on the ridge much earlier. From 1945 a forest cemetery between Schwarzföhren was created around the church . Excavations carried out by the Institute for Prehistory and Early History in 1994 have revealed not only numerous skeletal remains but also remains of Roman walls. Access to the forest cemetery is provided by a way of the cross made of Tiffany glass panels designed by Bad Erlach glass artist Alois Hammer .
- Linsberg Castle: The “freye Thurmhof” in Linsberg, which was once surrounded by numerous towers, now gives the impression that the street leads right through the church.
- Brick kiln: There were once up to eleven brick kilns in Bad Erlach. The brick kiln on Bromberger Strasse, which is still in operation today, is the last remnant of this once flourishing branch of industry.
- Mill: The Bad Erlacher mill is one of the oldest buildings in the Bad Erlach community and is now home to the local history museum. It not only presents local history, but also the eccentric cave. The story of the miller who once mixed gypsum with his flour and was sentenced to death for it is also documented.
- Harrathof: The former aristocratic residence was first mentioned in documents in 1406 ("Nicolai de Harreth"). Later, the Reichersbergers were obliged to pay tithes. Today the Harrathof is privately owned. Interesting is the count's grave, which is to the left of the path at the edge of the forest. The inscription commemorates Count Luis de Rosiers, who died at Harrathof on October 14, 1813.
- The Bad Erlach local history museum is housed in the "Alte Mühle" at Altagasse 37. It includes around 500 exhibits:
- Showpieces on the subjects of school, household, trade, industry (brick industry), agriculture and club life;
- a coin collection;
- Skeletal finds of 22 people from around 1000 AD, which were uncovered during renovation work on the Ulrichskirche;

- Natural monuments
- The eccentric cave was only discovered in 1960 while working in the limestone quarry. In this stalactite cave there are rare rock formations, which is why it is not generally accessible, but specially protected.

Construction began in autumn 2005, but the work had to be stopped due to archaeological finds. After the archaeological excavations were completed by the Federal Monuments Office in December 2006, construction work continued in January 2007. After initial financial problems, the construction of a thermal bath on a 150 hectare property in the Linsberg district began, which was opened in August 2008. The client of the Linsberg thermal baths is "L&L Projektentwicklungs GmbH", which in turn is backed by "Asia Resort Linsberg L&L Projektentwicklungs GmbH & Co KG". This is owned by 95 Austrian private individuals who each hold between half and two percent of the company in the form of a limited partnership, with the interests of the investors being looked after by a trust company. The operator is the "Asia Resort Linsberg Betriebs GmbH", whose corporate structure is identical to that of the installation company.
The project costs for the thermal bath and the connected hotel with 250 beds were estimated at EUR 64.4 million. Of this, around 18 million euros were raised by 95 private investors, around 20.4 million euros by the state of Lower Austria and around 25.0 million euros by a bank consortium. The market town of Bad Erlach contributed around EUR 1.0 million.
The market town of Bad Erlach and the surrounding communities of the Bucklige Welt region expect significant economic impulses from the construction of the Linsberg thermal baths, which opened on August 8, 2008 and are marketed under the name "Hotel & Spa Linsberg Asia" . The thermal baths and the attached hotel alone created 150 jobs. As an accompanying project, an 18-hole golf course is being built around the thermal baths. In addition to spa guests, day guests in particular should be addressed by the spa.
The springs drilled in 2004 deliver mineral thermal sulfur healing water. The total mineralization is 2370 mg / l, the water temperature is 26.6 ° C. The content of titratable, bivalent sulfur is 16.01 mg / l. With the decision of January 9th, 2007, the water of the thermal baths was officially recognized as the "Heilquelle Linsberg". According to the balneochemical nomenclature , it is a "calcium-magnesium-sulphate-sulfur-thermal-mineral-water" which is suitable for the treatment of the following ailments: diseases of the musculoskeletal system, post-treatment after injuries of various origins (conditions after fractures , wound healing disorders , Sports injuries etc.), peripheral circulatory diseases , skin diseases such as psoriasis or neurodermatitis .
