history

The originally sparsely populated area has been Bavarian since the founding of the Duchy of Bavaria . At the time of the early church organization in the Middle Ages, the area around Brunnenthal belonged to the original parish of St. Weihflorian . Like the Münzkirchen parish , this consisted of areas that had originally belonged to the St. Severin parish in Passau's Innstadt . St. Weihflorian was first designated as an independent parish in 1182 when it was incorporated into the Passau “Innbruckamt”, which was subordinate to the St. Aegidien Hospital in the city center. The parish of St. Weihflorian was very extensive: It lay between the area of ​​activity of the original parish of St. Severin and that of the original parish of Münsteuer and included the area of ​​today's parishes of Brunnenthal, Schärding , St. Florian am Inn , Suben , St. Marienkirchen and Eggerding , plus shares in today's parishes of Taufkirchen , Lambrechte and Rainbach . When the parish of St. Weihflorian moved to Schärding in 1380 , Brunnenthal became a branch of Schärding.

Georg Auer, a farmer in Haraberg, had a brick-built "Creutz or torture pillars" built after his recovery, which he attributed to the healing power of the water from his well. The flow of pilgrims quickly increased as a result of this event. In 1668 a pilgrimage church was completed . Brunnenthal came to Austria after the Treaty of Teschen in 1779 with the Innviertel (then 'Innbaiern'). The local church suffered a huge loss of assets because Bavaria no longer gave its capital. In 1785 Emperor Josef II raised it to the status of an independent parish . During the Napoleonic Wars briefly Bavarian again, the place finally belonged to Upper Austria since 1814.

After the annexation of Austria to the German Reich on March 13, 1938, the place belonged to the Gau Oberdonau . After 1945 the restoration of Upper Austria took place.

Population development

In 1991 the municipality had 1,680 inhabitants according to the census. As both the birth balance and the migration balance were positive, the population increased to 1,923 in 2011 and further to 1,975 in 2011, peaking at 2,032 in 2018.
