history
Parts of Eberstalzell were already inhabited in Roman times. This is proven by the finds of Roman mosaics on the Roman road near Albersdorf. During excavations in Albersdorf, a stone sacrificial stone (before 777) was discovered, which has now found a place of honor in the Maria-Hilf Chapel.
Eberstalzell is first mentioned in a document in the year 777 in the founding deed of Kremsmünster Abbey (as "Eporestal"):
- In addition, we are giving them a district in the village of Eporestal, which has been delimited from Saluso, Wenilo and Garweth and provided with stamps, where they can recreate the inurable and arable land from the forest around the aforementioned Eporestal without any hindrance, however they want.
Originally located in the eastern part of the Duchy of Bavaria , the place belonged to the Duchy of Austria since the 12th century. Since 1490 it has been assigned to the Principality of Austria ob der Enns .
During the Napoleonic Wars , the place was occupied several times.
Since 1918 the place belongs to the federal state of Upper Austria. After the annexation of Austria to the German Reich on March 13, 1938, the place belonged to the Gau Oberdonau . After 1945 the restoration of Upper Austria took place.
church
The monks of Kremsmünster Abbey built the first church, which was probably destroyed around 900 during the Hungarian invasions. Towards the end of the 10th century, a new, wooden church was consecrated to St. Ulrich. In 1494 the stone church that still exists today was finally opened. It got its final appearance in the 18th century and was extensively renovated in the 19th century.
coat of arms
Official description of the municipal coat of arms: In silver on a red, continuous bridge with three arched passages, a black, growing boar.
The community colors are red-white-black.
The boar is the talking symbol for the community name and at the same time, as Kremsmünster's heraldic animal, a special reference to the close historical connection between the monastery and the parish, which was founded as an early mission station (monk's cell ). The bridge stands for the natural stone masonry bridge of the Westautobahn (A1) located in the municipality .
The coat of arms was awarded on May 2, 1977. At the same time, the place name was changed from Ebersta ll zell to Ebersta l zell .
