history
Until the church is planted
The lay brother Hermann came from Niederaltaich Abbey via Rinchnach to the “Valley of the Wild Au” and began clearing there . The village was founded by him in 1324. After Hermann's death in 1326, Hartwig von Degenberg built a wooden chapel in 1331 for a picture of the painful Mother of God ( Pietà ) described as miraculous . From then on he called the valley floor "Augea Sancta Mariae", in German: "Our dear women Aue". This was the beginning of a centuries-old pilgrimage . In the 18th century, after the Gothic Krumenauer church was demolished, a rococo church was built, the center of which is still a miraculous image of the Lady.
In addition to the pilgrimage, the manufacture of glass was particularly important for the place. The first glassworks was founded in the village as early as 1420 . In 1568 the von Poschinger family acquired a glassworks that they still operate today. Georg Benedikt I. Poschinger was raised to the nobility in 1790 and received the rulership rights over Frauenau in the Electorate of Bavaria. In 1785 Poschinger was granted court jurisdiction over his glassworks in Oberfrauenau .
With the second parish edict of 1818 , today's parish came into being.
