Brunn am Gebirge

The place is on the easternmost foothills of the northern [Kalkalpen] as well as on the relay break of the Vienna basin ( thermal line ). A drilling in the rock cellar, thus close to the edge of the mountain, did not reach the basement again until 231.4 m . This proves that the mountains in this area descend very steeply to the Vienna Basin. Brunn is located south of Perchtoldsdorf and the Vienna city limits on the southern railway , so that part of the place is on the slope of the Vienna Woods and the other part is already in the Vienna Basin. In nature, this border is represented by the southern line. Brunn am Gebirge is a cadastral community and the only place that has the settlements Am Wolfsholz and Heidesiedlung .

Avar graves that were found in Mödling suggest that the area was also inhabited at that time. Based on excavations, it is believed that there was a veterans' settlement here in Roman times .

Beer tradition

The brewing tradition in Brunn am Gebirge began as early as 1790 in the form of a microbrewery. The 19 hectare Brunner-Brauerei-Aktien-Gesellschaft was founded in 1847 and became one of the largest in the monarchy at the time. Over 200 employees brewed more than 200,000 hl per year in a wide variety of varieties. In 1929 the Brunner brewery was sold to the Brau Union , which was affiliated to their Liesinger brewery and ceased to exist as a separate company. A few set pieces in the brewery museum in Brunner Heimathaus still bear witness to this time.

From 2010, however, Brunn owned a small specialty brewery with beer magic .

The "Brunner Bierkirtag" was reissued twice on the basis of a private idea from the local landlords at the time.

In 2012, “Lower Austria's largest Oktoberfest” took place on the premises of the Business Park Campus21, which however had nothing to do with Brunner beer, but was sponsored by an Austrian beer company.

economy

Today only a small part of the population is active in viticulture , whose vineyards are located on the slopes of the Vienna Woods. Most of them work in industrial and trading companies that have settled in the industrial area and on Campus 21 , as well as in Vienna. In the east of Brunn there are businesses, such as the crane company Prangl and the pump company Flowserve . The Austrian branch of Scania is also located in Brunn. Hornbach opened its first Austrian branch in Brunn in August 1996.

District heating

In the densely built-up area, Brunn is almost completely open to biogenic district heating, which is generated in the Mödling biomass cogeneration plant. Both public buildings such as schools and offices or commercial and industrial companies as well as large-volume residential buildings are supplied with this district heating.

traffic

The Vienna outer ring motorway A 21 is located between Brunn and Perchtoldsdorf . There is also a convenient connection to the southern motorway .

Brunn and Maria Enzersdorf have a stop on the Südbahn , which is located in the Brunner municipality, but bears the name Brunn-Maria Enzersdorf (Brunn-Ma. Enzersdorf). In 1998 the existing station was converted into an unoccupied ÖBB stop. The building from 1862, which was threatened with demolition, was acquired and revitalized by the municipality of Brunn.

Infrastructure

Wien Energie supplies the market town of Brunn am Gebirge with electricity. The gas supply to the market town is guaranteed by EVN. Due to the low proportion of self-supply with drinking water (approx. 2–5%), the water pipeline association of the Triestingtal and Südbahn communities and EVN supply the community with additional drinking water.

Contaminated sites

In Brunn am Gebirge there were three tar-processing companies, a paint factory and a glass factory, in the area of the Goldtruhebach. A galvanizing plant in the same area is still in operation today. In the investigated area in the vicinity of the Goldtruhebach, large areas of soiling of the subsoil by tar oil were found, which extend over a length of approx. 750 m and an area of approx Roofing felt factory Goldtruheweg reach far to the south. These contaminants were included in the contaminated site atlas and in some cases represent a significant threat to the environment.
