history

Before the birth of Christ, the area was part of the Celtic Kingdom of Noricum and belonged to the surroundings of the Celtic hill settlement Burg on the Schwarzenbacher Burgberg . Later under the Romans, today's Lanzenkirchen was then in the province of Pannonia .

The lords of Lanzenkirchen named themselves after their ancestral seat, the Lanzenkirchen Festival.

The following explanations can be found for the place names:

• Lanzenkirchen:

The name probably comes from a German settler who built a wooden church here. His name was Anzo or Lanzo . The name Lanzenkirchen is mentioned for the first time around 1130.

• Frohsdorf:

The original name was Krottendorf because of the damp land where many toads were found. Chrotendorf was first mentioned in a document in 1158. From 1673 it was frog village . The current name dates from the beginning of the 19th century.

• Haderswörth:

This name originated from Hadurich and value what so much as Au of Hadurich means. It can be found in a document from 1101, according to the monastery brother "Heinrich" from the family of the Burgraves of Regensburg , before he went on a crusade to the Holy Land, in the presence of his father "Haderich" gave the property Haderichswert to the Göttweig monastery. This name changed over time via Haiderswörth, Haiderswerth, Häderswörth to today's place name Haderswörth.

• Kleinwolkersdorf:

The name probably originated around 1130 to 1160 and should come from Wolfkers von Lanzenkirchen . That was the name of the place Wolfkersdorf . In the course of time , this resulted in Kleinwolkersdorf , as the district was first called around 1800.

• Ofenbach:

Originally the place was called Quenbach , as can be proven in a document from 1157 - the Rein Abbey owned vineyards here. It is not entirely clear where the name Ofenbach comes from. It can probably be traced back to Oven , as a heating device was already called back then. At the end of the Middle Ages there was also a distinction between "Ober-" and "Niederofenbach".

• Fohrenau:

This district is the youngest in the municipality and was only created in 1945/46. The first 30 houses were largely as a timber-framed building from strains of the Empress Maria Theresia landscaped pine-wood built.
