coat of arms
Official description of the municipal coat of arms, which was awarded at the same time as the market survey in 1952: Divided and half- split ; above in silver a black, red armed and armed, resisting dragon ; lower right in green a golden, oblique wavy bar , covered with two black, also wavy, narrow bands, on the left split three times by silver and red.
The Lindwurm is reminiscent of the legend that a magnificent royal castle once stood on the Reichenstein ("Wurmstein"), which was destroyed by the eruption of a monster trapped in the mountain by water ( mudslide ) falling to the valley . The wave bar symbolizes the iodosulfur healing spring, the white and red posts are taken from the state coat of arms .
history
Bad Goisern in the Inner Salzkammergut is a place with a long history - but has only been documented since the 14th century under the name Gebisharn (in a Passau Urbar , around 1325).
The district Steeg am See is an old area of the Hallstatt Salt . As part of the Ischlland , Goisern became part of the Habsburgs in 1278 after King Rudolf I's victory in the battle of Dürnkrut / Jedenspeigen for the inheritance of the Babenbergs . Around 1290 new brine and brine finds were made in the Goisern area, which triggered the salt war between Duke Albrecht I and Salzburg's Archbishop Konrad IV . In 1298 the Ischlland became the hereditary property of Elisabeth von Görz and thus private property of the Austrian archdukes; from 1490 it became part of Austria on the banks of the Enns . The mother parish was the Benedictine monastery in Traunkirchen , in 1573 Traunkirchen was dissolved and the Salzkammergut parishes were added to the newly founded Jesuit college in Passau as a refectory in 1621 .
From 1595 to 1607, the brine pipeline to the new Pfannhaus in Ebensee ( Saline Ebensee ) was built via Goisern .
In 1770 the Wildenstein custody office was relocated from the burned down Wildenstein Castle to Goisern to Neuwildenstein Castle (today Forestry Office), which until 1850 served as the custody office (care office and the care court) of the Kammerhof Gmunden (Obersalzamt in Gmunden), then the new kk Salinen- und Forest management in Gmunden is the administration of the Salzkammergut.
After Emperor Joseph II issued the tolerance patent in 1781, one of the first tolerance communities in Austria was established in Bad Goisern. The wooden prayer house built in 1782 was demolished in 1813 and the present day Protestant church was built in the same place . This belongs to the Evangelical Superintendentur AB Upper Austria . In 1785 the Catholic parish church of St. Martin incorporated into the newly founded Diocese of Linz .
Goisern has been a spa and climatic health resort since 1931, and in 1952 it became a market. The municipality has had the official nickname Bad since 1955. On June 26, 2008, the Bad Goisern municipal council decided to change the name of the municipality to Bad Goisern on Lake Hallstatt . The corresponding, confirming resolution of the Upper Austrian provincial government followed on August 25, 2008.
