Frein an der Mürz is a place in the Upper Mürz Valley in Styria as well as a locality and cadastral municipality of the municipality of Neuberg an der Mürz in the Bruck-Mürzzuschlag district .

geography

The place is located 21 kilometers northwest of Mürzzuschlag , a good 12 km east of Mariazell , in the valley head of the Mürz not far from the Lower Austrian border.

The Rotte Frein is 12 km northwest of Neuberg behind Mürzsteg , at around 860  m above sea level. A. Height to the right of the Mürz, which is still small here, in the widening at the mouth of the Freiner Bach . To the south, the Mürz Valley forms a narrow gorge around the Dead Woman , so that the Mürz valley basin is more open upwards. The place extends a little up the Mürz, and the Freinbachtal westward into it.

The village of Frein an der Mürz comprises around 55 addresses with only around 40 inhabitants, most of them in the village itself, as well as a few houses in the upper Freinbachtal, where the small Rotte Gschwandt is at the very back . The village in the rearmost Freinbachtal also includes the Höhenreithalm in the Brunntal and the Dürrieglalm and Königsalm. The cadastral area with 2433  hectares extends in the south of the Freinbach valley to the Proles ( 1565  m above sea level ). The western border is at the saddle of the Schöneben (in the Brunntal already at the foot of the Tonion ), which belongs to Mariazell. To the north, the border runs on the southern flank of the Student ( 1539  m above sea level ) over the Freinsattel ( 1106  m ) to the ridge of the Wildalpe ( 1523  m above sea level ). In the northeast, Kriegskogelbach and Stille Mürz near Neuwald and Kaltwagl , at the foot of Göller ( 1766  m above sea level ) and Gippel ( 1669  m above sea level ) form the border to St. Aegyd .

The other Mürzufer belongs to Mürzsteg. The small village of Kaltenbach upstream from Frein forms a separate village, but the Sulzrieglalm above still belongs to the village of Frein, as do the houses near Kaltwagl. The west side of the valley is covered by the ridge of the Waxenegg ( 1647  m above sea level ), the northern side of the Schneealpe , above the village is the Rosskogel ( 1524  m above sea level ), with the moor landscape in the Naßköhr behind it. The Donnerkogel procession begins near Neuwald between Stiller and Kalter Mürz .

The B23 Lahnsattelstraße , the road of the upper Mürz Valley, leads through Frein  , then on over the Lahnsattel to Terz , where the B21 connects Mariazellerland with Traisental .

History and infrastructure

The Klemenskirche

The area originally did not belong to the Neuberger Valley , but to the Mariazellerland . The Freie was first mentioned in a document in 1780, around this time a woodcutter colony of the Imperial and Royal Gusswerk (today Gusswerk ) was established. It was only easily accessible from the north; between Frein and Mürzsteg, by the Dead Woman, the Mürzschlucht was impassable. Until the 19th century, the bottleneck was only accessible by a wooden footpath that ran along the walls of the field. Links were the Lahnsattel am Göller, which ran over (Lower) Austrian territory, and the Freinsattel, between Student and Wildalpe over into the Halltal , to which Frein belonged politically. The Kuratie Frein von Mariazell , founded in 1803, was responsible for parts of the Hall valley as well as the Ägyder Lahnsattel area and the Neuwald up to the Gscheidl .

In 1805 the school was founded in Frein, and another in Neuwald in 1911; both closed in 1976. It was not until 1881 that a road was built between Mürzsteg and Frein.

In 1803 the first church was built, which was dedicated to St. Clement . After this church was destroyed in a fire in 1934, a new building was constructed from September to October 1934, designed by Hans Payer . In 1892 Frein became its own parish, today the church is St. Klemens Filialkirche von Mürzsteg .

In 1908 a paper mill was built in Frein, which ceased operations in 1930. In 1944 there was the first power supply for the remote place by means of its own unit, a light line was not installed until 1965.

In 1948 Frein an der Mürz was separated from the Halltal community and merged with Mürzsteg. In 2015 , Neuberg came to Mürzsteg.

The place has been part of the Mürzer Oberland Nature Park since 2003 .
