history

Due to its geographical location, Ebelsberg has a defense and bridge function that goes back to the time when the settlement was established. Prehistoric finds from Mönchgraben, Fischdorf , the mouth of the Traun and Wachtberg suggest that there was a settlement as far back as the Neolithic Age .
Even in Roman times , Ebelsberg was probably an important crossing point for the Traun. From the northern inland road, which led from Lauriacum ( Enns ) on the route of today's Traundorferstraße - Ebelsberger Schloßweg - Wienerstraße - Flötzweg to Ovilava ( Wels ), there was a traffic route to Fort Lentia ( Linz ).
The first documented news of a closed settlement can be found in a deed of the Bishop Altmann von Passau with the year 1071. Eperaes Wort, Ebilspeh, Ebersberg - as Ebelsberg was called in earlier times - has no clear history. A controversial first mention of today's Ebelsberg in 905 as "Eperaespurch" was followed in 1071 by a clear mention as "Ebilsperch" in a document from Bishop Altmann. Ebelsberg could already have been a market in the middle of the 13th century. We find a written record of the market law in 1439 by the keeper Viqulenes von Volkenstorf . The oldest description of the castle also falls during this period. The market coat of arms of Ebelsberg was awarded by the Bishop of Passau .
Ebelsberg Castle often changed hands. Starting with Kremsmünster Abbey , it was in Passau ownership after a long period of decay . In 1396 Heinrich VI. von Walsee for a short time the castle, which later came back into the possession of the Passau bishops. The history of the market has always been closely linked to the castle. Ebelsberg was also the main camp of the farmers in the bloody Upper Austrian Peasants' War , which broke out in the region above the Enns in 1626.
During the Napoleonic Wars , the suburb became famous in world history through the battle of Ebelsberg on May 3, 1809 . After previous armed conflicts with the French under Emperor Napoleon , the Austrian Hiller Army Group tried to break away from Linz on the morning of May 3, 1809 over the Traun Bridge in Ebelsberg towards Enns. The following French troops led to a confrontation at the bridgehead. As a result, a battle developed that cost about 12,000 men their lives or health. After tough fighting, including on the bridge over the Traun - many soldiers from both sides drowned in the flood at that time - the place was taken by the French troops and troops of the Rhine Confederation . 1,000 men were burned in the embers of Ebelsberg. 60 houses, the castle and the parish church were destroyed. A cannonball from this time is still embedded in a house wall at a house on the market square. The monuments on Fadingerplatz and in the castle park as well as the inscription panels on the former parish hall and on the market fountain still bear witness to this event. Walled cannonballs on some house facades also remind of this day.
The Austrian imperial family sold the Ebelsberg reign in 1825 to Baron Karl Theodor, Knight of Kast. The Kast family, who acquired the castle in 1825, played an important role in history. The so-called “Kast-Grund”, a residential complex southeast of the Ebelsberg district, is still reminiscent of the name of the baron family .
On November 1, 1938, Ebelsberg was incorporated into Linz.
Until December 1973 the tram line E connected Ebelsberg with the city center and only a month later the Florianerbahn was also closed. As a result of the growing construction activity from the mid-eighties on the Kastgrund and in the nineties in the Ennsfeld, the tram connection to Ebelsberg was rebuilt and opened in 2002, while part of the strongly increased individual traffic was diverted via the newly built Ebelsberg bypass. In 2005, another tram extension to the so-called SolarCity Linz Pichling was put into operation, opening up a new, rapidly growing district on the periphery. In the medium term, a further extension of the route in the direction of Pichlinger See in connection with the construction of a transfer hub is planned. Due to the demolition work from the 1930s to the present, historical buildings were sacrificed for through traffic.
In the course of the restructuring of the statistical districts on January 1, 2014 (decision of the city senate of September 2013), the new district of Pichling was formed from the eastern part of Ebelsberg. The area of Ebelsberg decreased from 2581.3 hectares to 1291.2 hectares.
On August 29, 2016, coin hunters found a 250-kg aircraft bomb from the Second World War in the Traunau meadows and detonated it the next day.
