history

Originally located in the eastern part of the Duchy of Bavaria , the municipality belonged to the domain of the Counts of Lambach since the 11th century , after their extinction the Styrian Otakare / Ottakaringer and the Counts of Formbach , from 1192 the Austrian Babenbergs . In the first half of the 12th century, servants of the Formbacher and Steinbacher family , who first appeared in a document in 1108 with Perengar de gailisbach, are found here . The frequently cited first mention of Gallspach in 1111 refers to Gallsbach (Ober- and Untergallsbach) near Prambachkirchen . In the second half of the 12th century, the Steinbach property - and with it Gallspach - fell to this family through the marriage of Richezza nobilis matrona de Steinbach to Gundacker von Steyr , a ministerial of the Otakare, from which the lords of from the 13th century Starhemberg emerged . A chapel in Gailspach belonged to the noble residence in the 13th century . In 1343 Eberhard V. von Wallsee appears as the owner of Gallspach. In the same year he arranged for the village to be separated from the parish of Grieskirchen and the establishment of a small parish of its own , which only included the truce . Between 1354 and 1483 the Geymann Gallspach family held the Wallseer and later the sovereign fief. On May 4, 1439 market survey by King Albrecht II. Confirmation on December 20, 1442 by Friedrich III. :

In the 16th century, Gallspach was a center of Upper Austrian Protestantism . From around 1560 the Catholic parish was vacant. A school was first mentioned in 1566; In 1586 Johann Tauber was appointed to Gallspach as a teacher from the Wels Latin School . In the course of the Counter Reformation, the Gallspach preacher Augustin Kromayer (Krammauer) had to leave the country in 1624 . Insurgent farmers occupied the market on May 20, 1626 and forced the surrender of all weapons from the aristocratic armory. In 1633 the Protestant Geymann family sold the Gallspach estate and market. Due to the peasants' war and constant billeting, the population became impoverished. The Catholic parish was reoccupied from the St. Nikola monastery from 1633 onwards. In 1634 parish registers began to be kept.

Important rulers of the 17th u. The 18th century were the Waldberg family (1638–1685), Augustin Freiherr v. Erhardt (1688–1695), the Hoheneck family (1709–1796) and the Imsland family (1796–1871). A noticeable economic recovery followed from the middle of the 17th century. In addition to the Wednesday weekly market, there were four other annual markets: on the first Sunday during Lent (Sunday Invocavit), on Peter and Paul (June 29), on Bartholomew's Day (August 24) and on the feast day of St. Catherine (November 25) .

In the 18th century there were up to 108 concessions for traveling traders who offered cut and haberdashery goods in markets in Upper Austria and Styria. A guild of 12 masters and 48 companions made embroidery (figures, flowers) on kottun, silk and muslin. 1755 first mention of a bourgeois shooting group, 1801 of a band . From 1810 to 1816 Gallspach fell to the Kingdom of Bavaria, which was allied with Napoléon Bonaparte . The state border ran through the municipality of Gallspach along the Kochlöffeleck-Gferedt-Schlatt-Egg- Meggenhofen road .

Despite the economic decline as a result of the French Wars, a list from 1820 in the market still names the following businesses: 1 brewer, 5 innkeepers, 3 butchers, 4 bakers, 1 master mason, 1 prayer maker (rosary maker ), 1 possamenter, 3 semolinaers , 2 shoemakers, 1 Locksmiths, 3 cooper, 2 tailors, 2 saddlers, 3 weavers, 1 hat maker, 1 potter, 1 red tanner, 3 metalworkers, 1 fruit dealer, 2 grinders, 1 rope maker, 1 nail smith, 1 carpenter, 1 glazier, 1 dyer, 1 knitter, 1 needler, 1 furrier, 1 cutler , 3 horse dealers, 1 iron dealer and 36 groceries . 1870 opening of the post office, 1887 foundation of the Gallspach volunteer fire brigade , 1903 opening of a gendarmerie post and foundation of the Raiffeisenkasse, 1906 foundation of the fire brigade in Enzendorf. From 1891 to 1893, the Gallspach doctor Franz Xaver Zadny (1840–1913) ran a cold water sanatorium based on the method of Pastor Sebastian Kneipp from Wörishofen and advertised Gallspach in the press as an air spa .
