Eichhorns has been a cadastral municipality of Pölla in Lower Austria since January 1st, 1964 with an area of ​​231.02 hectares. In order to be able to create the Döllersheim military training area , the residents were evacuated from 1938 onwards .

Description and history

The place with the lenticular grass was on a plateau sloping to the west and was surrounded by hills. The high road leading from Döllersheim to Neupölla led through Eichhorns .

The first documentary mention took place in 1455 on the occasion of the enfeoffment of the Lords of Starhemberg, who lived on Rappottenstein , with the princely fief in Eichhorns. In 1532, Ferdinand I raised a farm owned by Tobias Kranstofer to a free noble seat. After several changes of ownership, this became the property of Georg Leopold Schnitzer, who incorporated the Eichhorns into the dominion of Waldreich.

The local chapel was built by Eichhorns around 1780.

From 1652 the parish Döllersheim kept the church records for births and from 1654 also those for marriages and deaths. In 1784 these were run by the parish in Franzen. After the parishes were abolished, the registers of the Döllersheim parish were handed over to the Rastenfeld parish and those of the Franzen parish to that of Neupölla for safekeeping.

In order to be able to set up the Döllersheim military training area, the population of Eichhorns was given until April 1, 1940, to leave the village, which consisted of 30 houses.
