Wolkersdorf dean's office

The deanery comprises 21 parishes in the Weinviertel in northern Lower Austria with around 20,000 Catholics.

history

The mother parish Pillichsdorf is mentioned for the first time in 1205 as the seat of a dean of the Diocese of Passau. From 1330 at the latest until 1724, the Pillichsdorf-Ulrichskirchen parish formed the center of the Passau dean's office, which covered a much larger area than it is today. With the diocesan regulation of Emperor Joseph II, this became part of the Archdiocese of Vienna in 1785. The name of the deanery changed several times, for example until 1830 it was called “deanery on the Marchfelde” and was then renamed to “deanery Pillichsdorf” after the main town. With a decree of the Archdiocese of Vienna, it was finally converted into today's Wolkersdorf deanery on January 1, 1996.

Diocesan development process

On November 29, 2015, development areas were defined for all parishes in the Archdiocese of Vienna. The parishes should work more closely together in the development areas, form parish associations or pastoral care rooms. At the end of the process, new parishes should emerge from the development areas. The following development rooms have been defined in the Wolkersdorf dean's office:

• Gerasdorf near Vienna, Seyring and Süßenbrunn
• Hautzendorf, Herrnleis, Ladendorf, Niederkreuzstetten, Oberkreuzstetten, Traunfeld, Unterolberndorf and Wolfpassing an der Hochleithen
• Groß-Engersdorf, Obersdorf and Pillichsdorf
• Großebersdorf, Kronberg, Manhartsbrunn, Münichsthal, Schleinbach, Ulrichskirchen and Wolkersdorf
  • Subunit 1: Großebersdorf, Kronberg, Manhartsbrunn, Münichsthal, Schleinbach and Ulrichskirchen
  • Subunit 2: Wolkersdorf

The parishes in Herrnleis and Ladendorf, previously the Ernstbrunn dean's office , became part of the Wolkersdorf dean's office on September 1, 2016.
