history

Maria Magdalena Church

Based on archaeological finds in the former fortress of Poletitz to the south, it is assumed that the area around Kalsching was settled by Slavic tribes as early as the 10th and 11th centuries. It belonged to the Goldenkron Monastery to the east and was first mentioned in 1281 when Margrave Otto von Brandenburg, in his capacity as guardian of King Wenzel II, who was not yet of age, confirmed the ownership of Kalsching to the monastery. It was raised to a town as early as 1293. During the Hussite Wars , Ulrich II von Rosenberg succeeded in appropriating the Goldenkron monastery property and incorporating it into his rule Krumau . During the reigns of Wok II. Von Rosenberg and Peter IV. Von Rosenberg , the late Gothic St. Mary's Church was built from 1487–1507, whose net vaults in the nave show the artistic influence of the Bavarian-Swabian construction works around Hans Wechselberger and Wolfgang Wiesinger from Braunau . In 1567 Wilhelm von Rosenberg granted Kalsching the brewing privilege. His successor Peter Wok von Rosenberg , the last Rosenberger in the male line, gave Kalsching large forests in 1600. After he had to sell the Krumau rule two years later due to excessive indebtedness, Kalsching was subject to the Bohemian Chamber until 1622 . That year, Emperor Ferdinand II gave Kalsching together with the Krumau rule to his court chamber president Hans Ulrich von Eggenberg for his services in the Catholic League . During the reign of the Eggenbergers, Kalsching received privileges for a weekly market and two annual markets in 1641, and two more weekly markets were added in 1685.

After the Eggenbergs died out in 1719, Kalsching fell to the Schwarzenbergs . During the reign of Josef Adams von Schwarzenberg, the Rotenhof palace was built not far from Kalsching from 1756 to 1760 according to plans by Josef Fortini. It served as the Schwarzenbergs' summer residence from the middle of the 19th century.

After the abolition of patrimonial Kalsching formed an independent municipality. From 1850 there was a district court in Kalsching ( judicial district Kalsching ), which existed until the end of the Second World War. From 1855 to 1868 Kalsching was the seat of a district office, whose official business was then assigned to the district office in Krumau. In 1930 the population was 1,412 (1,340 of them German). For 1991 there are 1,002 inhabitants.
