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 . In 1945 Upper Austria was restored.

Population development

The community of Eggendorf recorded hardly any population movement between the late 19th century and 1951. Rather, the population fluctuated between around 550 and 600 inhabitants. After 1951, the population shrank by almost 25 percent until 1971. Only then did the population recover again, with Eggendorf increasingly benefiting from its role as the municipality surrounding Linz. The population grew by 75 percent between 1971 and 2013 and the municipality reached a new high in 2013 for its population. The population growth is mainly due to the strong immigration since the 1990s. While the birth balance and the migration balance were still slightly positive in the 1970s and 1980s, immigration in the 1990s rose to almost seven times the increase in births. Between 2002 and 2013, immigration was roughly twice the value of the increase in births.

politics

Municipal council

The municipal council as the highest body of the municipality has 13 seats and is elected every six years in the course of Upper Austria-wide municipal council elections. The municipality board consists of five members. For a long time the strongest force in community politics was the Social Democratic Party of Austria (SPÖ), which had an absolute majority of votes and seats between 1973 and 1991 - the SPÖ had its strongest result in 1991 with 64 percent of the votes. The Austrian People's Party (ÖVP) achieved 32 to 49 percent during this time, other parties did not stand as candidates. With the appearance of the Freedom Party of Austria (FPÖ) in 1997, the SPÖ lost its absolute majority and ÖVP and SPÖ achieved the same number of seats, with the FPÖ also moving into the municipal council with one seat. As early as 2003, however, the FPÖ failed to move back in and the SPÖ was again able to achieve the absolute majority of the mandate. After the FPÖ again failed to join the municipal council with 5.8 percent in 2009, the ÖVP was able to achieve an absolute majority for the first time with 48.5 percent and seven mandates. The SPÖ came to 40.5 percent or six seats. The Eggendorf citizens' list also failed in 2009 when it entered the municipal council with 5.3 percent.
