history

The heap village- like street settlement Döllersheim lay in a basin at the foot of the Donaberg and formed the intersection of numerous streets.

Döllersheim is indirectly mentioned for the first time around 1143, when a Chunradus de Tolersheim appears as a witness on a document from Duke Heinrich of Bavaria. A Rapoto de Tolrshaim, whose castle probably stood on the mountain next to the parish church of Döllersheim, appears as a further witness in 1272. It is not known when Döllersheim was made a market.

In 1427 Döllersheim was conquered and destroyed by the Hussites . In 1620 the market was burned down again.

Since the actual grave of Anna Maria Schicklgruber , Adolf Hitler's grandmother, who lived in Strones , could no longer be found in the Döllersheim cemetery, the community erected a much-visited honorary grave. The main square of Döllersheim was named Alois-Hitler-Platz after Adolf Hitler's father . In July 1939, Adolf Hitler was made an honorary citizen of the market.

The run of the parish Döllersheim since 1632 church records of births and since 1634 for marriages and deaths were after the lifting of the parish that of Rastenfeld handed over for safekeeping.

In order to be able to build the Döllersheim military training area, the resettlement of the population was planned by April 1, 1940; however, this date was postponed twice until October 31, 1941. The 392nd Infantry Division was set up in Döllersheim in 1943 as the last of three German-Croatian divisions .

After the Second World War, Austria was occupied by Allied forces from 1945 to 1955 , and the military training area in the Soviet zone was used by the Red Army for several years.

Since 1981 the former parish church of Döllersheim, the cemetery and the hospital are no longer in the restricted military area and can be visited. The church received simple ecclesiastical consecration on September 13, 1986 by Bishop Franz Žak . It is again under the patronage of the Apostles Peter and Paul, but was given the name Peace Church .
