Friedersbach is a place in the Waldviertel in Lower Austria and a locality and cadastral municipality of the municipality of Zwettl-Niederösterreich in the Zwettl district .

geography

Friedersbach is located between Zwettl in Lower Austria and the Ottenstein reservoir in the east. The Friedersbach brook running eastwards through the village flows into the reservoir, and the fjord-like backwater area begins just below the village .

Friedersbach is a typical street village (two-line village with a meadow in a wide hollow) with about 180 houses and 471 inhabitants (as of January 1, 2020). The old local chapel ⊙ is located near the sports field on the southeastern edge of the village in the Kirchengraben above the reservoir of a small right-hand Friedersbach inlet.

Today the B 38  Böhmerwald Straße passes the place on the hills to the left of the valley cut.

The Lichtenfels ruin with a campsite and the Kolmhütte location , both on the Ottensteiner reservoir , half of which is also in the cadastral community (the other in Flachau ) , also belong to the cadastral community .

History and culture

The settlement, which dates from the 11th century, was built along the road from Spitz an der Donau , which led to the Polansteig at Kamp .

The place was first mentioned in a document in 1159, when Bishop Konrad von Passau at the request of Prince Heinrich II. (Austria), who was on a hill and dedicated to St. Lorenz raised the chapel to the parish church Friedersbach . The Gothic church (around 1500) and the Gothic charnel house from the 14th century with its characteristic triangular battlements are particularly worth mentioning . Friedersbach used to be an important parish and received market rights in 1608.
