Dehio Mühlviertel 2003

The Dehio-Handbuch - Oberösterreich - Mühlviertel was published in 2003 as the first volume of a Dehio series on Upper Austria on the Mühlviertel, started by the Federal Monuments Office .

In 1993, during fundamental discussions based on the experience with Lower Austria , it was decided to divide Upper Austria into three volumes. Due to the increasingly scarce financial possibilities of the Federal Monuments Office, the scientific recording of the historical monuments in Upper Austria was concentrated on the area north of the Danube , the Mühlviertel, and on Linz . Thanks to the financial support from the State of Upper Austria with Governor Josef Pühringer and State Director of Culture Manfred Mohr, the work could be carried out much faster.

For the provision of plans and geographic information, the regional building department headed by Hans Tekautz, the department for cultural-historical affairs with Erich Aufreiter, the building department of the diocesan finance chamber Linz with Walter Schaffer, and Gerhard Reichhalter zu Burgruinen were named.

Bernhard Prokisch and Lothar Schultes from the Upper Austrian State Museums , Diocesan Conservator Conrad Linhart, Alois Zauner from the Linz City Museum Nordico , Willibald Katzinger , Isfried Pichler O.Praem were asked for information . on the history of numerous parishes and Schlägl Abbey , Elga Lanc on medieval painting, Gerhard Reichhalter, Thomas Kühtreiber , Thomas Woldron on castle ruins, Huberta Weigl on Jakob Prandtauer. Thanks were also given to the Mauthausen concentration camp, the documentation archive of the Austrian resistance and Bertrand Perz from the Institute for Contemporary History at the University of Vienna. Eva Berger for her inventory of parks and gardens. Father Rainer Schraml from Wilhering Abbey for checking inscriptions in the Rohrbach and Urfahr area districts.

Thanks were given to individual locations and their objects: Fritz Fellner zu Freistadt , Johannes Löw-Baselli zu Perg , Alfred Höllhuber zu Reichenstein , Wolfgang Strasser to St. Martin in the Mühlkreis , Leopold Josef Mayböck zu Schwertberg , Herbert Traxler. Thanks to individual parish objects: Ludolf Miesbauer O.Praem. to parish churches in the Mühlkreis , Engelbert Leitner to Ried in the Riedmark , Josef Friesenecker to St. Oswald near Freistadt , Engelbert Raab from the convent hospital of the merciful brothers in Linz.

Further institutional help came from the State Conservate for Upper Austria with Wilfried Lipp , from the Department of Soil Monuments with Christa Farka and Marianne Pollak, from the Department of Architecture and Building Technology with Norbert Gauss, and from Ursula Wackenreuther and Johann Scheifele.
