Golling an der Salzach is a market town in the state of Salzburg in the Hallein district in Austria with 4,313 inhabitants (as of January 1, 2020).

geography

The municipality is located in the Salzach Valley in Tennengau in the Salzburg region, around 25 km south of Salzburg .

It is the last location before heading straight into the mountains from Salzburg. The location of Golling at the northern foot of the Hagengebirge and Tennengebirge brings inconsistent weather conditions, the place is often referred to as a "weather hole" because it rains more often here than in the northern neighboring communities.

  • Torren - the southeast on the left of the Salzach to Pass Lueg and into the Bluntau valley (962)

history

Golling Castle
Filial church St. Nikolaus with Hohnenkamm

A Celtic tool depot was found in 1982 in the district of Torren on Nikolausberg, which is around 10 m elevated on the western edge of the Salzach Valley and is assigned to the Ambisonts . The Nikolausberg, with an extension of 10 × 120 m and surrounded by rock fragments, shows traces of settlement from the Mesolithic (Middle Stone Age) to the Roman period . The depot of a blacksmith from the Latène period was uncovered by systematic excavations of the Golling local history museum at a depth of only 35 cm. A heavy anvil in the shape of a pyramid and a small setting hammer , two large blacksmith tongs , a hearth shovel, a band iron and an iron ring as well as slag finds are evidence of the forge's workshop. The found objects are exhibited today in the local history museum in Golling Castle .

During Roman times, on the hill on which Golling Castle was later built, there was a Roman watchtower to secure the Roman road Virunum - Iuvavum . There was also a Roman altar and a Villa Rustica in the neighboring cadastral parish of Kellau, which is now part of Kuchl .

The place name was mentioned for the first time in 1241 as Golingen in a document from Archbishop Eberhard II . The name is derived from the Romanesque Col or Colle (Accus. Sing. Hill ). Golling was first mentioned as a market town in 1284. Golling Castle was the seat of a Salzburg nursing court from 1438 to 1803.

In 1809 the allied French and Bavarians fought against the Austrians and the Salzburg state riflemen at the Lueg Pass . From 1810 to 1816 the place belonged to the Kingdom of Bavaria. In 1820 the nursing court was re-established as the “KK nursing court”. In 1896 the political district Hallein (Tennengau) was founded and Golling was incorporated.

Until the end of May 1923, the community belonged to the Golling judicial district , and since June 1, 1923, it has been part of the Hallein judicial district .

The name of the market town of Golling was officially changed to Golling an der Salzach in 1951 .

coat of arms

Coat of arms at golling.png

The coat of arms of the municipality is described :

In a divided shield above in blue the church patron turned to the right, Saint John the Evangelist in a green dress with a red cloak, growing out of the dividing line , holding a golden chalice with the left hand, which the right is blessing; below, in red on a green ground, a black raven turned to the right, holding a gold ring in its beak.

How the raven got into the coat of arms: “A long time ago there was a castle on the Hiasenwand. When the lady of the castle washed, she put a diamond ring on the window ledge. The ring disappeared without a trace. The valet was suspected of stealing the ring. He was sentenced and later executed. One day a shepherd found the castle woman's ring in a raven's nest. Since then, the raven with the ring has been depicted in the lower part of the Gollinger coat of arms. "
