geology

The Tabor (at Taborhäusl) is a small, only about 5 meter high elevation, which consists of Mauthausen granite , so geologically belongs to the Bohemian mass .

History and infrastructure

The Enghagen granite has already been mined for the Roman city of Lauriacum (today Lorch), the Taborte pond may be a remnant of it.

Enghagen has been the landmark south of the Danube that delimits Austria above the Enns (Upper Austria) from Austria below the Enns (Lower Austria) since the Middle Ages . Originally those parts of the village of Enghagen formed the place , which - separated by the Spitaler Au - were on an island. In the 18th century it was still a group of islands in the Danube, later an island in the mouth of the Enns: the western arm of the Enns emptied above the Taborhäusl, the eastern branch below the now abandoned third house in the village, a little southeast of the old overpass.

Enghagen was an important Danube crossing, especially for the salt trade to Bohemia. Until 1340 the land of the Zillen, which came with the Küfensalz from Gmunden in the Salzkammergut , was in Reintal on the Enns, then in Enghagen itself. There were crossings over the Danube . The Danube bridge Mauthausen – Enghagen was built in 1505 (after a shell was destroyed by the floods in 1501), the fourth Danube bridge of the Duchy of Austria. The Tabor is a ski jump that was raised on the natural elevation to secure the bridgehead. However, this bridge fell into disrepair again in the course of the 17th century because it was too expensive to maintain. In a row About carts were re-established, with Mutzen , strong raft-like boats with space for three two-horse carriage, and smaller barges , as a ferry.

In the 1820s, the eastern mouth of the Enns was relocated a little downstream to protect Mauthausen from flooding. At that time the town of Enns, whose regional court included the Tabor, built a flying bridge . The rope was attached to the Tabor Hill. Then a new straight road was built as a dam path from Enns to Tabor. For the way back from Mauthausen, however , one crossed over to Pyburg , from where one came back to the city of Enns via Ennsdorf .

The western Ennsarm (Hamberger-Altarm) silted up due to the Danube regulations , and for a time Enghagen on the Tabor belonged to Lower Austria, namely to Windpassing , with the state border in this silted river. In 1874 the Mauthausen market bought the flying bridge and its accessories for 15,000 guilders. In 1901 a ferry was built across to Pragstein Castle. This was still equipped with a lifting bridge in 1951. In 1962, however, the ferry service was discontinued because the new bridge of the Donauuferbahn also had a road route downstream (the old Summerau bridge was only designed for alternating rail / car traffic in 1947).

Enghagen am Tabor has been run as a separate village since 1900.

From 1975–1994 the Ennshafen was built in stages . As a result, the location was completely cut off from the city, today it can only be reached via the riverside path from Enghagen.

From 1998 the area between Tabor and Ennshafen was ecologically upgraded through renaturation measures. First, the Hamberger oxbow lake was reopened up to the port area and the Taborte pond was integrated. By 2003 a large, richly structured water basin was created as a fishing water. In 2009 the Enghagen branch of the Danube was also revitalized.
