Wallsee-Sindelburg is a market town with 2190 inhabitants (as of January 1, 2020) in the Amstetten district in Lower Austria .
geography
Wallsee-Sindelburg is located in the northwestern part of the Mostviertel in Lower Austria, on the right - i.e. south - of the Danube and in the south roughly bounded by the western motorway. About 26 percent of the area of the market town is forested.
The Danube valley near Wallsee is called Strudengau because there were several dangerous water eddies here before a wider shipping channel was blown out . The Erla flows into the Danube a few kilometers above Wallsee . She comes from the hill country of the Mostviertel. However, much more water flows from the Enns (15 km upstream) and the northern tributaries Aist (about 12 km upstream) and Naarn (10 km downstream).
Community structure
Wallsee-Sindelburg consists of four localities or cadastral municipalities of the same name (population in brackets as of January 1, 2020; area: as of December 31, 2017):
- Igelschwang (666.30 ha, 72 Ew.) Including Franzenau, Kobling, Schaching, Steinstraße and Straß
- Ried (651.15 ha, 50 Ew.) Including Biesenberg, Hofing, Roßwiese, Schöndorf, Sindelburg and Witzmannsdorf
- Schweinberg (937.87 ha, 41 Ew.) Including Blindberg, Schmitzberg and Sommerau
- Wallsee (338.60 ha, 2027 Ew.) Including the shore
The cadastral communities of Igeschwang, Ried and Schweinberg formed the independent community of Sindelburg until they were merged in the early 1970s. Today's community was formed in 1971 from the communities of Wallsee and Sindelburg.

history
As found in tools prove, Wallsee and Sindelburg were already settled in the Stone Age. The history of Wallsee begins in Roman times , when the area was part of the province of Noricum . The remains of an auxiliary fort of 200 × 160 m ( finds in the Roman Museum ) are located under today's market square . It was probably Adiuvense , mentioned several times in ancient sources , as suggested by brick stamp finds from the Legio II Italica and an investigation by the Habsburg Archduke Theodor Salvator . In recent research, however, Wallsee is equated with Locus Felicis (Hannsjörg Ubl).
In 1295/96 the Austrian nobility rose up, led a. a. by Konrad von Summerau , who sat at the neighboring castle Sommerau and ruled the region, against Duke Albrecht I. After the suppression of the uprising, the Sommerauer lost all fiefs and Heinrich I von Waldsee / Wallsee was enfeoffed with Sommerau and Sindelburg. The Wallseers can be traced back to Sindelburg from 1301 and built the castle that still exists today in 1368–88. In 1368 the castle was named "Neuen-" or "Nieder Wallsee" to distinguish it from the Oberwallsee castle in Upper Austria, which was built in 1364 . The Wallseer dynasty, which in the 14th century provided several provincial governors in Upper Austria and held the hereditary marshal's office, developed into one of the leading noble families under the Habsburgs until they died out in 1483/1506. The fortunes of the place are closely connected with Wallsee Castle until around 1920.
At the same time as the castle, the market was rebuilt and equipped with the church documented from 1362. Wallsee also received market rights in the 14th century . The “salt house” in town reminds of the former salt trade . The use of a market seal has been handed down from around 1620. The one from 1631 shows a millstone and above the stylized waves of the Danube a monster. From around 1500 to 1895 there was a millstone factory under the sandstone cliffs of the castle , which delivered to Hungary and the Black Sea and, with the Scherer millstone quarry in Perg, formed the center of Central European millstone production. The millstone guild also looked after the church of St. Anna, which was called the "Steinbrecherkapelle" (now a branch church).
After 1945, the Danube river shaped the economic development - among other things through the shipping company Brandner and the construction of a large Danube power station .

- Wallsee-Mitterkirchen power plant : Between 1965 and 1968, the Wallsee-Mitterkirchen power plant was built between Wallsee and Mitterkirchen on the north bank . At 210 megawatts , it represents exactly the mean value of the electricity-generating capacity of the 10 Austrian hydropower plants on the Danube. At the same time, a river crossing was created between the bridges of Mauthausen and Grein , each about 15 km away. The “Wallsee-Mitterkirchen” power station has an annual capacity of 1,318.8 GWh and thus covers around two percent of Austria's electricity requirements (see also the power station on the Danube ).

After the power plant was built, leisure facilities and the Ufer settlement were built on the oxbow lake near Wallsee . The Steinbüchel (Am Steinbichl) weekend house settlement is also located southwest of Schweinberg .
