City structure

The municipality consists of the cadastral municipalities :

  • Gmunden
  • Gmunden-Ort with the villages of Eck, Ort and Traunleiten
  • Beat beating and Tastlberg
  • Traundorf
  • Traunstein

Districts of Gmunden are Schlagen, Tastelberg, Traundorf, Traunleiten and Weyer. Districts are Karbach, Klamm and Traunstein as well as numerous individual locations such as inns, huts or hotels.

Due to its location in the foothills of the Alps , the municipality of Gmundens is surrounded by numerous mountains. The highest point is the Traunstein at 1691 m . It is considered the local mountain of the Gmundner family and is a popular hiking and climbing mountain. In addition, it guarantees enough drinking water.

The Grünberg is also a popular destination. It can be reached on foot via marked hiking trails and, since summer 2014, again via the Grünberg cable car.

Traunsee

The Traunsee takes up a substantial part of the municipality. Before 1900, the lake repeatedly caused floods. The whole town hall square was flooded several times. The watermarks with the respective year can be seen on some house walls and at Schloss Ort . At Ebensee the Traun flows into the Traunsee, at Gmunden it leaves the lake again. The eastern cadastral community of Traundorf is separated from the city center by the river.

The waterworks of the city of Gmunden gets its drinking water from two large waterworks: Traunstein West and Auwald. In order to be able to cope with the increasing demand for high quality drinking water, eleven municipalities in the districts of Gmunden and Kirchdorf have joined together to form a water association .

geology

The area Gmunden one of the oldest deposits of Rhenodanubian flysch . In the area of ​​the Gschliefgraben , the border between Grünberg and Traunstein , the Helvetikum emerges, where fossils have been systematically searched for since 1984. The ammonite species Hoplitoplacenticeras preyi was discovered here. A total of 35 types of ammonites were detected.

South of the Gschliefgraben is the Langbathscholle , which consists of main dolomite . The bizarre weathering forms of this rock are particularly evident in the Kaltenbach Wilderness. Immediately south of the Zierler Berg begins the Traunstein, which, as part of the Höllengebirge blanket, consists of Wetterstein limestone.

There are frequent landslides in the Gschliefgraben. A concrete solution to this problem has not yet been found. In December 2007, the residents of the buildings at Traunsteinstrasse No. 239 to 303 had to be evacuated from the Gschliefgraben because of the risk of a landslide.

The original center of the city was the market square. However, it lost its importance in the heyday of the salt trade. As a result, the Rathausplatz became the city center.

Spatial planning

Because of the mountainous surroundings, only a small area is available for building. Most of the available building area is used for residential areas with a total area of ​​220.9 ha . 11.6 ha are village area, 26.4 ha core area, 56.5 ha mixed building area and 21.1 ha special building area. A total of 68.8 hectares are available for industrial and commercial buildings.

history

The Seeschloss Ort and the city of Gmunden - already with fortifications
Back of the 100 Schilling silver coin from 1978, issued for the 700th anniversary of the city of Gmunden.

The first settlement of today's urban area goes back to the 5th century. The first settlers were fishermen. The settlement takes its name from the confluence of the Traun in the Traunsee and was initially called about * (ze) munten ('At the mouths'). The plural was used because the Traun was not yet regulated and flowed into the lake in several arms.

It is not known exactly when Gmunden became a town from a fortified market. Gmunden celebrated its town elevation in 1278. Gmunden was heavily fortified in the Middle Ages. Gmunden only got its own church around 1300. A regional court (today a district court ) already existed in 1217. The economic and political head was the salt minister or city judge.

The livelihood of the city remained the salt trade even in the early modern period . The economic situation of Gmundens deteriorated immensely in the course of the Upper Austrian Peasant War , the salt trade could hardly be sustained and looting was the order of the day. After a truce was negotiated, musketeers moved in .

During the 17th century Gmunden grew in economic importance as a supplier of warships. Because of the second Turkish siege of Vienna , thousands of refugees had to be taken in and fed, which is why the existing Turkish tax was increased considerably.

The spa and bathing establishment in Gmunden.

During the Austrian War of Succession , Gmunden and the surrounding area looked like a large field camp, although there were never any armed conflicts. The burden of quarters, first for the Bavarians, then for the French, and after the invasion of the imperial troops in Upper Austria were considerable.

At the beginning of the 19th century the end of the boom of the salt trade was looming, which is why it was important to find new sources of income. The development of Gmunden into a spa town and the legendary competition with Bad Ischl that resulted from it began. In 1862 Gmunden was named a spa town.

In September 1914 Gmunden took over the task of a hospital town . 190 wounded soldiers arrived and were taken to the hospitals set up for this purpose. Hundreds of wounded arrived in the months that followed. In 1916 there was a rapid deterioration in the supply of the population, which could not be improved for the time being.

On January 1, 1939, parts of Eck and Ort as well as Traunleithen and Theresienthal had to be ceded by the Altmünster community to Gmunden. As a result, the train station was also integrated into the municipality of Gmunden. Until the 1950s, the Altmünster community tried to get the ceded areas back.

In 1942 Gmunden had to take in hundreds of refugees. A year before the end of the war, Gmunden became a refugee town. The population grew to 30,000, a crowd the community could not handle. Although the city was spared bombing raids, the economy was in dire straits towards the end of the war. During the Second World War, Gmunden was also used as a hospital town. Of the more than 600 Gmundners drafted into military service, not even 13 percent survived the war. During the occupation , the US troops set up an espionage center. Many former SS men were also hired, as it was assumed that they knew about Soviet conditions. The city of Gmunden also benefited from the American reconstruction program.

In 2008 the decentralized state exhibition took place under the title “Das Salzkammergut”. The leading and overview exhibition was in Schloss Ort in Gmunden. In addition to Gmunden, eleven other communities in the Salzkammergut took part . For this purpose the Kammerhof Museum was expanded or rebuilt.

Due to the insufficient number of pupils, the previously independent secondary schools (Hebbel and Habert Schools) were merged from the 2007/2008 school year.

For 2007 there was a catalog of measures by the municipality. The most important projects included the expansion of the city center and the construction of the Lacus Felix lake hotel. The construction of the hotel was supposed to start in 2007, but after the liquidation of the hotel company due to financial problems, the construction project was abandoned in 2014. In 2009, the implementation of the so-called “station package” should begin, which contained the following plan: Since the Seebahnhof is being demolished by the hotel project, a suitable solution should be found - the most likely option is to erect a new building in the monastery area. The Gmunden train station is also to receive a modern central platform and the station building is to be renovated. The barrier system at the level crossing near the train station is to be eliminated by an underpass.

The most famous sights of Gmunden are the Landschloss and Seeschloss Ort . The latter was also the location of the television series Schlosshotel Orth . The Seeschloss is one of the oldest buildings in the Salzkammergut (built in the 10th century) and was first mentioned in documents in 909 and later in 1053.

The Villa Toscana is not far from the Seeschloss . This building was built between 1870 and 1877 in the middle of an 88,000 m² park as the domicile of the Grand Duchess of Tuscany, Maria Antonie of Naples-Sicily . Other castles in the vicinity are Cumberland Castle from the 19th century and Weyer Castle , which houses a permanent exhibition on Meissen porcelain .

On the Rinnholzplatz there is the salt carrier fountain , the only ceramic fountain in Austria, from which drinking water flows from the “Holy Bründl”.

In the parish church is the three king altar, which was created by the Bavarian-Austrian sculptor Thomas Schwanthaler around 1678. In the Capuchin Church , built in 1636, the high altar painting of the Visitation of the Virgin , created in 1753 by the Tyrolean Baroque painter Philipp Haller , is particularly noteworthy.

The Gmundner Marktplatz is located near the parish church . In addition to old houses, such as the first Gmundner Rathaus, which existed until 1301, there is also the city fountain with the city coat of arms. The town hall was built by an Italian master builder in 1574, with a ceramic chime from the 16th century, and underwent extensive renovations in 1925. When the city was founded, the market square was the economic and political center. In a lane leading away from the market square, there is the first pharmacy in the Salzkammergut, as well as the Pepöckhaus, in which the Klo & So sanitary museum has been set up since 1988 .

The Kammerhof , built in 1450 , once the seat of the Habsburg salt chamber and representative of the emperor, offers both historical and modern architectural elements. In addition to the city ​​museum, there is also the Brahms Museum in the Kammerhof : Johannes Brahms often spent the summer months with the Viennese industrialist Viktor von Miller zu Aichholz in his Gmunden villa, after Brahms' death in 1897 he founded the first Brahms Museum in Gmunden in 1900 World.

The famous paddle steamer Gisela (built in 1871) is parked next to the Kammerhof at a landing stage for the Traunsee shipping company . The ship was named after the daughter of Emperor Franz Joseph , Gisela Louise Marie of Austria .

Another attraction is the Gmundner tram built by Stern & Hafferl . It connects the city center with the main train station and is the oldest, shortest and - with a gradient of 10% - the steepest tram in Austria.

In the Gmundner ceramics factory you can watch how the typical “green flamed” is created during factory tours. The influence of Gmundner ceramics is so strong that Gmunden calls itself the “ceramic city”. From 1997 the company, which had existed for more than 500 years, was owned by Maximilian Graf von Moy's family, made losses before 2014 and was sold to the MF Group, Anif by Markus Friesacher on August 1, 2018 .

This transition area between the Limestone Alps and the Alpine foothills has a large variety of biotopes , which can be primarily explained by the considerable differences in altitude (lowest point: Traunsee at 423 m, highest point: summit of the Traunstein at 1691 m).

Town twinning

Economy and Infrastructure

Gmundner ceramics

In the course of history, the economic center first moved from the market square to the town hall square, then to the edge of the city, the Salzkammergut shopping park (SEP). Due to the lack of space, only a few larger companies have settled in the city. The gradual settlement of shops of the big chain stores led to the extinction of all general stores in the city center. The construction of the Salzkammergut shopping park in 1975 and its further expansion in 2005 led to further business closings. The city policy tries to revive the city center through joint events through exemption from parking fees and the ambience. Now there are plans to renovate the downtown houses and a hotel is planned.

The most important Gmunden companies include Stern & Hafferl Verkehrsgesellschaft mbH, which operates trains, buses and the travel agency Stern Reisen, Gmundner Zementwerke, Energie-AG Oberösterreich, Gmundner-Keramik -Manufaktur, GEG Elektrobau, Laufen Austria and Gmundner Molkerei and Stern & Hafferl Baugesellschaft, a specialist in renovating old houses.

Since January 1st, 2002 the legal entity is the Upper Austria. Health and Hospital AG. The LKH Gmunden is currently being expanded. In autumn 2006 a center for magnetic resonance tomography went into operation.

traffic

A former route plan

Public transport

In 1993 the "Verkehrsverbund Gmunden" (VVG) was founded, to which the city bus routes 1 and 2 belong in addition to the Gmunden tram . Later this "small" transport association joined the OÖVV (Upper Austrian Transport Association). As a result, further opportunities for funding by the state of Upper Austria were found and the city bus route 3 was set up. In addition, the Gmunden tram was extended from 2014 to 2017 and connected to the Traunseebahn, so Gmunden is sticking to the tram. Due to the tram extension, the Gmundner Bahnhof was also rebuilt.

City bus traffic is operated jointly by Stern & Hafferl Verkehrs-GmbH and ÖBB-Postbus GmbH. Furthermore, there are some regional lines from Stern & Hafferl, Postbus and Sklona, ​​which connect Gmunden with its neighboring communities and beyond. Gmunden has its own train station , which is served by ÖBB passenger trains. In addition, the freight transport with the company Hatschek plays an important role, as it owns one of the largest cement works in the region.

train

Gmunden station from the track side

In addition, there is a connection to Vorchdorf via the Traunseebahn and further on with the Lambach-Vorchdorf local train to Lambach with a connection to the ÖBB.

Viewed in a historical longitudinal section, Gmunden was home to five train stations. Today, in addition to the main train station, there is also the passenger station, the horse-drawn railway station in Anna-Strasse (now a residential building), the Seebahnhof and Engelhof station . The "Traundorfer-Bahnhof" in Schlagenstrasse was demolished at the end of the 1970s, and in 2013 the historic Seebahnhof. For this purpose, Gmunden, as a visionary city, is to get the connection from the tram to the regional train, in order to create another attractive offer for passengers. That means a direct line from Vorchdorf via Gmundner Zentrum to the train station.

On September 1, 2018, the Traunseetram was opened as a merger of the Gmunden tram and the Traunseebahn. Since then, the tram has been connecting the ÖBB train station and Gmunden Engelhof train station four times an hour, with every second train continuing to Vorchdorf.

All parking spaces in the city center are chargeable, outside the center not. Due to the lack of parking spaces, an underground car park was built. As it became known at the end of September, the municipality would like to buy these in order to be prepared for the 2008 state exhibition.

In the course of the demolition and new construction of the Traun Bridge (next to the mouth of the Traunsee) around 2018, a replacement bridge was built a few meters next to it for temporary use.

In the summer of 2020, the municipal council reacted to the burdens of day tourists arriving by car: From August 8 or 15, the city of Gmunden will charge € 22 per day for the 12 3 m wide parking spaces for mobile homes, pointing out that this is only legally compliant here at Toskanapark may be parked. The use of the slipway for boats is limited to locals - including neighboring communities - and tourists who stay at least three nights in the region and who have the Salzkammergutcard and are priced at € 25 per slip. Vehicle parking spaces on Traunsteinstrasse and Unter dem Stein become short-term parking zones with a time limit of 3 hours. Hikers who want to climb the Traunstein from here and do not arrive by bike or on foot must take the newly set up hiking bus for a ticket price of € 5.
