history

This article or the following section is not adequately provided with supporting documents ( e.g. individual evidence ). Information without sufficient evidence could be removed soon. Please help Wikipedia by researching the information and including good evidence.

In ancient times the region belonged to the Roman province of Pannonia . There is no precise information about the founding of Gablitz. The place name, like other settlement names with the ending -itz, -ice, indicates a Slavic origin, probably 7th / 8th. Century, and probably means "apple stream" or "small chapel".

On May 16, 1060, the district of Laabach, which today belongs to Gablitz, was first mentioned as "Loupach", at that time belonging to Ollern ("Alarun"). (Ollern and the surrounding area were owned by the Archdiocese of Freising since 1033 ).

In the Klosterneuburg tradition book “Hainricus de Gabliz” is mentioned as a censual (interest farmer) of “Ulricus de Vrindorf” (Ulrich von Freundorf). "Hartrudus des Sahßingan" (presumably Hartrud von Sachsengang) also appears as a witness. The Sachsengangers were fiefs of Freising. This entry - without the year - can probably be classified at the end of the 12th century.

In 1311, the Viennese citizen Greif (Griffo) received the settlement in Gablitz, including a forest near Rozwartingergraben, from Emicho Bishop of Freising as a fief:

“He had acquired it from the Mauerbacher, who in turn had the said under fief from Herr Leopold von Sachsengang, and that Herr von Sachsengang had it in turn from Herr Bishop. And so it finally came into the hands of the aforementioned Greif through purchase. "

In 1337, "Jans der Greyffe, citizens of Vienna and his wife Anna" sold the farm in Gablitz, including the mill, forest, and orchard and housed Holden to Duke Otto the Merry with the consent of the Freising Bishop .

In 1380 Albrecht III enfeoffed the Viennese citizen Paul Ernst with the court in Gablitz. In 1398, the Viennese councilor Michael Menschen appeared and sold the farm in Gablitz, Felder, Dorf and Mühle to Leutold von Chreusbach . In 1410 he sold the farm, two farmsteads and the mill at Gablitz to Ulrich and Cecilia Missinger, who were enfeoffed with the estate of Duke Leopold. Just one year later, the Missing family handed over the property to the Mauerbach Charterhouse . Thus the village, the farm and the mill were until further notice as a ducal fiefdom with the Mauerbach Charterhouse.

In 1529 numerous houses and the chapel were destroyed by the Turks . The heavily damaged chapel was repaired under Hans Wolfstriegel. In 1575, 11 original fiefs (15 families) and some forest workers appear in Gablitz, in 1619 there are 25, in 1657 27 fiefs were registered.

In 1621 Sophie Strauss "Straussin von Hadersdorf " received the village of Gablitz with 16 subjects as a ducal fief, she probably had the Thurnhof built, her descendants pledged the place to the Viennese councilor Hans Wolfstrigl. In 1642 he had the roof of the church covered, which led to a conflict with the prior of the Mauerbach Charterhouse. In 1648 Wolfstrigl sold the 18 houses (subjects) to the Charterhouse, where they remained until 1782. The Mauerbach coat of arms with the year 1642 can be seen on and in the Gablitz church. A Mauerbach coat of arms is also visible on the former farm / monastery inn (Kirchengasse).

During the second Turkish siege of Vienna , the village of Gablitz was devastated.

In the 17th and 18th centuries, aristocratic landowners appear for the first time in the land register of the Purkersdorf Forest Office, such as the

• Secret council and court chamber president Christoph Ignaz Freiherr von und zu Lilienberg , heir to Hacking and Winterspach Castle in Laab (* 1628 Vienna; † 1685)
• Count and Countess Salla
• Count Albrechtsberg
• Johann Heinrich von Schmid from Bohemia
• Imperial Count Meraviglia u. a. m.

At that time the Gablitz population consisted of peasant subjects and forest workers (hackers).

In the 19th and 20th centuries, Gablitz was a popular summer resort . From the end of the 19th century, families and artists from Vienna and other parts of the Habsburg Empire discovered the place as a summer retreat, villas were built and the place was revitalized through various initiatives. Numerous associations such as the Beautification Association (1874), the church building association, the Gablitz men's choir (1892), the athletes 'club and the workers' library were established.

In 1868 Gablitz was part of the Sechshaus district , from 1890 of the Hietzing area . In 1938 the place was assigned to the St. Pölten District Office (unlike Purkersdorf , which was connected to Greater Vienna ), which in 1945 became part of the St. Pölten District Authority. After the Second World War, building activity began in Gablitz. From 1956 until its dissolution on December 31, 2016, Gablitz was part of the Vienna-Umgebung district , since 2017 the place has belonged to the St. Pölten district (St. Pölten Land) .

Gablitz was raised to the status of a market town by the Lower Austrian Landtag in its session on June 16, 1977.

Population development

In 1694 there were 260 inhabitants, in 1783 already 406 inhabitants (including the districts of Laabach, Hauersteig, Hochbuch and Buchgraben). In 2001, 4,408 people were registered, the 2001 census determined 4,393 inhabitants.

Due to its proximity to Vienna, there are numerous secondary residences in Gablitz. In 2011 there were 1263 persons registered with another place of residence.
