history

Prehistoric trading knot

Enzersdorf and Kleinkadolz have been at the intersection of two important trade routes since the beginning and have been showing finds from different eras since the Stone Age. The last great prehistoric discovery dates back to the year 2000. At that time, two excavations were carried out by the Museum for Prehistory of the State of Lower Austria (in Asparn / Zaya) in the hallway “Im Grund” near the old field mill (about 500 meters west of the center of Enzersdorf) Bronze depot finds from the Urnfield Age secured. It is believed that a bronze caster was resident here, who owned the materials and who produced bronze objects in series or in large numbers. Its presence suggests that the place was an important trading hub.

Former market and sunken villages

Rest of Enzersdorf Castle in the Thale

Enzersdorf im Thale developed in the Middle Ages between 1100 and 1500 with its water fortress as a central place in Langenthal (also called upper Göllersbachthal) and became a market town. On the one hand, the wealthy family of the Ritter von Enzersdorf found numerous other "Enzersdorfe" around Vienna. On the other hand, the strongly fortified place also offers the residents of the surrounding villages protection in wars and jobs. That should be one of the reasons why at least six to eight villages - some even equipped with wooden castles - were deserted within a radius of about four kilometers up until the 15th century. Even today, some of these places that were overgrown by the forest can be recognized on the surface by means of ramparts and local mountains.

The Hollabrunn Museum Association, which runs the "Alte Hofmühle" city museum in Hollabrunn, has dedicated a special exhibition to this topic in 2018 and 2019. Under the theme "The Wild East 1000 Years Ago - From Local Mountains and Sunken Villages", the repopulation of the Hollabrunn region - with a focus on the Enzersdorf im Thale area - around 1000 years ago from Bavaria is investigated. A film was also made for this, models of sunken places were reconstructed, a book was written and a separate exhibition website was launched at www.wilder-osten.at.

One of the most influential figures among the lords of Enzersdorf was Wolf Christoph, the last knight of Enzersdorf , who died in 1598. Under him, Enzersdorf became a Protestant parish from 1572 to 1627 (with Kleinkadolz and Patzenthal) with a Lutheran as pastor. One of them - Michael Grünberger - dedicated his "Erempel" book to Wolf Christoph and his wife, among others. In 1571 and 1580 Lutheran synods for the Weinviertel took place in the so-called Pragerhof (Haus Ernstbrunner Strasse No. 13), to which pastors from Germany also traveled. Wolf Christoph was also the initiator of the register of arms for the estates under the Enns. He had extensive possessions and had the huge moated castle rebuilt, which is still known today through a copper engraving by Georg Matthaeus Vischer . He acted as the Imperial Councilor of Maximilian II . He was Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation and Archduke of Austria from 1564 to 1576. The then prominent Franco-Flemish Renaissance composer Jacob Regnart even dedicated a volume of his Villanelles to Wolf Christoph von Enzersdorf ("Kurtzweilige teutsche Lieder zu dreyen voices after the kind of Neapolitans or Welschen Villanelles ", 1574).

parish

Enzersdorf im Thale forms its own parish with Kleinkadolz and the immediately neighboring cadastral communities of Oedenkirchenwald and Glasweinerwald , which belongs to the Archdiocese of Vienna . The parish church of Enzersdorf im Thale is consecrated to St. Mark and was built in 1897. This Catholic parish was founded in 1783.

Attractions

There are many old buildings and attractions in the parish area. In the parish church there are still grave monuments of the knights of Enzersdorf. In the middle of the place is the remainder of a moated castle, which lies on a peninsula. On the main square is the pillory column with bag stone - opposite the fire station in Art Nouveau. In the forest are the half-timbered forester's house Ödenkirchen and the Glaswein hunting lodge (both are inhabited and cannot be visited).
