geography

Freileben is in the eastern central area of ​​the municipality of Altenfelden and in the north of the Altenfelden cadastral community. The settlement is about 1.2 kilometers north of Altenfelden's market square. Freileben is bounded in the east by the eastern municipality border, in the south and west by Rohrbacher Straße (B 127) and in the north by a forest. Neighboring towns are Fraunschlag in the north, Unterfeuchtenbach in the east, Langhalsen in the southeast, the market Altenfelden in the south, Godersdorf with Kainberg in the west and Haselbach in the northwest.

A total of 11 buildings were counted for outdoor living in 2001, with nine buildings having a main residence and 17 apartments or 15 households. There were also nine agricultural and forestry operations and two jobs. The buildings in the village are scattered individually or in small groups of a maximum of three houses, with the Union Altenfelden sports field (panorama stadium) and part of the Altenfelden industrial park also belonging to Freileben.

History and population

According to the place name researcher Konrad Schiffmann , the place name Freileben derives from "bei dem free Leb" (= Leo) . So a free man named Leo would have built a farm here. Likewise, a derivation of the place name from “Freilehen” would be conceivable, although here too the resident farmer would have had no master other than bishop and king. When Freileben was first mentioned in a document in 1379, however, it was already part of the Tannberg rule. Freileben could have been created together with the Altenfelden church between 1100 and 1200.

In 1869, 53 people lived in seven houses in Freileben. The population remained almost unchanged until 1910, with 50 residents in seven houses that year. The population was exclusively Catholic. In 1923 the population was 52 people, with the number of buildings remaining the same. However, the statistics differentiated between the group of six houses with 41 residents and a single farm with 11 residents. In 1951 only 41 people lived in Freileben, by 1971 the number of inhabitants rose again to 54 people in seven houses each. In 1981, 43 residents lived in eight buildings in Freileben.
