The first documentary mention of Blumau comes from the year 1380. Under Empress Maria Theresa , settlement attempts were first made between 1740 and 1780. During this time, the Neurißhof part of the name , derived from newly torn (= plowed) land east of Blumau, both for the village and for the one on its edge, rebuilt in 1847/48, which was burned on October 8, 1866, but still large Share preserved homestead ( ). Essentially , the settlement and economic area between the farms Neuriß Hof and the Blumauer Hof located on a narrow strip of land in the cadastral community of Schönau an der Triesting extended or developed along the Piesting (replaced by buildings on Hauptallee 10-16, Blumau-Neurißhof ,  ).

Until the first years of the 19th century there was nothing else to be found on the approx. 173  hectare (300 yoke ) stretch of land that belonged to the Schönau rulership than dying, barely born grass and millions of hay horses . It was only through the initiative of lordship owner Peter Freiherrn von Braun (1758–1819) that the wasteland was turned into a Lombardic corridor by the agricultural economist Anton Wittmann (1771–1842; from 1801 for ten years Schönau rulership), a corridor with irrigation channels and sheltered from the wind by tree planting fertile meadow culture.

At the end of the 19th century, the community experienced an economic boom due to the ammunition production.

In 1891 the kuk powder factory Blumau , the first state ammunition factory in Austria, was built with 36 objects . With the introduction of the repeating rifle in the army sector, it became necessary to produce a more powerful, chemically homogeneous, “low-smoke” powder. The starting product required for its production, nitrocellulose , was obtained from 1892 onwards from a factory built in Neurißhof by the AG Dynamit-Nobel company (which was taken over by the Austro-Hungarian Army Administration in 1894 ).

The development of the new company advanced rapidly: u. a. In 1899/1900 a first expansion, in 1897/98 the construction of a dynamite factory and a nitric acid factory . Military protection was necessary for this large-scale facility, which is why two barracks were built, the Blumauer (today: Kasinostraße 1) and the Salvator barracks (today: Kasernenstraße 1 and 3).

The outbreak of the First World War led to another expansion of the huge company , with over 30,000 employees in 1918. However, the end of the war was followed by collapse. Only the powder factory was continued “under the control of the state with around 100 workers” ; the population of Blumau-Neurißhof sank to about 2500 people.

Around the turn of the year 1920/21 the state factory Blumau rented the celluloid factory located in Neurißhof  - which was combined under the name “Österreichische Zelluloidwerke Neurißhof” for the purpose of uniform administration and operational management for the duration of the lease and entered as such in the commercial register at the Vienna Commercial Court was.

On May 25, 1922, a fire in the powder factory caused the worst explosion in the history of the town. At least 19 people lost their lives and damage was done to almost every building in the town.

In 1923, parts of the large-scale company that had been restored after the explosion went to Sprengstoffwerke Blumau AG , in which, in addition to the Republic, Skodawerke Wetzler AG (Moosbierbaum) owned shares and was in charge of operations there. A TNT factory (1928), a powder factory (1930) and a nitroglycerine plant (1933) were built here by Skoda-Wetzler AG on behalf of the Republic .

In August 1928 the last remnants of the poison gas stored there were destroyed in Blumau after the underground storage of warfare agents had already been the subject of a debate in Parliament's finance and budget committee in 1925.

From the turn of the 1930s onwards, there were repeated police interventions when representatives of the local Communist Party planned public meetings in which they wanted to take a stand against the entrepreneurial offensive of the state explosives factory.

A brief upswing after 1938 was followed by the final liquidation of the company after the end of the war in 1945. In April 1945 the munitions factory was confiscated by the Soviet occupying powers and the entire inventory was dismantled and transported away. Since then, numerous ruins of houses and remaining foundations testify to the former extent of the village.

On January 1st, 1988 the market town of Steinfelden was separated into the following political communities: Blumau-Neurißhof, Günselsdorf, Tattendorf, Teesdorf .

The former national soccer player Karl Koller (1929–2009) rests in the local cemetery in an honorary grave of the community.

The building shown in the picture on the right carries the ON  6B and should therefore be the one under monument protection. The part cut off in the picture on the left is likely to have carried the ON 6A at the time (possibly due to postal considerations), but this cannot be confirmed by the digital cadastral folder.
