Villa Weinberg, from Spitzbart, Gmunden ......, p. 82

The Freisitz Weinberg is located in the Traundorf district of the town of Gmunden in the Gmunden district of Upper Austria (Georgstrasse 30).

Traundorf belonged to the rule Ort . Traundorf is first mentioned in documents in 1340. Tensions existed for decades between Traundorf and Gmunden, as the people of Traundorf disregarded the privileges of the city of Gmunden. These could only be cleared when Traundorf was incorporated into the truce of Gmunden for the first time in 1603 and finally in 1637 . Even the vineyard outdoor area was not originally subject to municipal jurisdiction and was exempt from any tax payments.

The time of origin of the former Freisitz Weinberg (Traundorf 66) and the name of its builder are unfortunately not known. Weinberg was first mentioned as an aristocratic patio in 1642. At that time, Johann Georg Wankhammer, who also owned the adjacent Moos patio, sold the patio to the owner of Mühlgrub Castle , Johann Baptist Fasolt. From this Weinberg came to his stepson Hans Adam von Kaschnitz, in whose family the patio remained until 1784. From then on, Hans Adam and all of his descendants appear as Kaschnitz to (von) Weinberg . The Kaschnitz themselves are an aristocratic family that has been documented in Gmunden since the 16th century and proved to be particularly loyal during the peasant uprisings . In 1564, the noble Herr Kaschnitz, also called Khaschnitz and Käschnitz, was appointed to the service of the sovereign in the toll and salt system , and the Kaschnitz are a councilor of the city of Gmunden.

In 1775 the patio was destroyed by flames and the then owner Anton Valentin von Kaschitz rebuilt it from scratch. Weinberg then saw many owners, including Count Schmidegg. In 1913 Duke Ernst August (II.) Von Cumberland acquired it and had the original country house converted into his ducal residence. He moved there in 1919. In 1933 the ducal family moved back to Blankenburg, ancestral palace in the Harz Mountains.

Villa Weinberg was demolished in 1972. In its place is now the "Weinberghof" (Bezirksaltenheim - Georgstraße 30 (until demolition: Georgstraße 28)).

The name "Weinberg" is reminiscent of the vineyard that used to exist here (see also the street name "Am Weinberg").
