history

A tumulus was discovered in the Bernau area , but it could not be precisely dated. Near Bernau emerged in the 10th century as a small hamlet in the Bavarian settlement area. In the 11th and 12th centuries, the area around Bernau was a high medieval clearing area and individual farms and wastelands. The place was first mentioned in a document around 1066 as Perrenovua in the first boundary description of the Piber parish . Further mentions followed in 1234 as villa Bernow and 1268/69 as Pernau and finally in 1673 as Bernau . In the Middle Ages there was a pronounced viticulture in the place, with the vineyards belonging to the Piber rule and the abbot of the St. Lambrecht monastery . In 1389, Rudolf von Plankenwarth left a mill in Bernau to the Rein monastery as a Seelgerät . The abbot of St. Lambrecht had a wine cellar built on the Michaelhube around 1600, which led to disputes with Georg Christoph von Poppendorf. Viticulture was still practiced in 1636 and Piber's register of monasteries still mentions the wine cellar as the delivery point for the Zechendt-Möst . The Pickmühle was first mentioned in 1780, and around 1840 there was a toll mill and a forge on Södingbach.

Until 1848, the residents of Bernau belonged to various manors, such as Altenberg , Alt-Kainach and Groß-Söding, and the Altenburg rule had its own office with 16 subjects. Some of the residents were subordinates of Christoph von Racknitz in 1527 . The court grain as well as the judge's rights were collected by the rule Obervoitsberg until 1848 while two thirds of the sheaf toe went to the rule Greißenegg . The numerous Bergholde delivered a wine toe to the rule of Piber.

Around 1900 Anton Slavec bought the Schlautz forge, which he had previously leased, and in 1905/06 expanded it into a hammer forge for the production of tools such as picks and shovels. He was a supplier to the Krenhof AG scythe factory and his son Friedrich closed the hammer forge after 1950 after the weir system was destroyed by a flood. Friedrich Slave ran a blacksmith and cart forge in the village for a few years . On July 29, 1959, a deep-freeze facility was opened in Bernau. On August 12 of the same year, parts of Bernau and the road to Stallhofen were inundated by floods. Since 1977 the Industrie-Rohrbau-Gesellschaft mbH u. Co. KG opened a branch in Bernau at the site of the former Pickmühle and expanded the site further in the 1980s. The site has been owned by Stahl-, Fassaden- und Lüftungsbau GmbH (SFL) since 2003 .

Economy and Infrastructure

Bernau is dominated by agriculture, with the management of grassland and arable farming being the most important. Forestry only plays a subordinate role. Up until the 19th and 20th centuries there was a mill as well as a hammer , hoof and cart forge in the village. The Plettig nursery located in Bernau was founded in 1970 . Since 1977 it was first with Industrie-Rohrbau-Gesellschaft mbH u. Co. KG and since 2003 at the same location with the Stahl-, Fassaden- und Lüftungsbau GmbH a metal and mechanical engineering company.

Buildings

One of the most interesting buildings in Bernau is the village chapel, also known as the Bernauerkapelle, which was probably built around 1878 in the neo-Gothic style. There is also the Buan cross erected after the First World War, a pillar shrine with plaster statues of the blessing Savior and the Mother of God .
