Braunsdorf is a place and a cadastral municipality of the market town Sitzendorf an der Schmida in the Hollabrunn district in the western Weinviertel in Lower Austria . Braunsdorf was a separate municipality until 1970.
geography
The triangular village with street group-like extensions and elevated castle with church is located about 3.5 kilometers north of Sitzendorf between Goggendorf and Roseldorf east of the Schmida and is accessed by the state roads 49 and 1145 as well as the state road B2 passing north of the village .
history
The first settlement took place in the 6th century by the Lombards . The place, first mentioned in 1170, belonged to the rule of the Braunsdorf family and after the Braunsdorf family died out, it came to Stephan von Eyczing in the second half of the 15th century at the latest .
Another change in the rulership structure in Braunsdorf is handed down from November 13, 1575 when Adam Freiherr von Puchheim auf Karlstein sold the village to his sister-in-law, Clara Freiin von Thannhausen , née Roggendorf . The patronage remained with the Karlstein rule. This fell to the crown in 1620 with the patronage of Braunsdorf . Braunsdorf was shown partly as an own and partly as an imperial fiefdom , as is passed down from a purchase letter from 1666. Until the end of the manorial rule in 1848, the rule changed hands several times before Braunsdorf became an independent municipality in 1850.
Between 1830 and 1870 Braunsdorf was hit by numerous disasters and bad harvests. There were several fires and the place was ravaged by cholera several times , which meant that the parish cemetery had to be enlarged. In addition, after the Battle of Königgrätz in 1866, Prussian troops were quartered in the village. All these facts, combined with the oppressive tax burden, which was increased by the poor harvests, led to a corresponding burden on the population, which was only alleviated in 1848/49 after the abolition of the manor.
When building a sand pit in 1907, a Lombard burial ground was found , and four skeletons were destroyed. A salvaged mug with a handle came to the museum in Hollabrunn in 1914 . In 1932, two more body burials were recovered from the sand pit, which had now grown overgrown .
Braunsdorf remained an independent municipality until 1970, before it was merged with Sitzendorf an der Schmida on January 1, 1971 .
