history

Population development

The place name Großrupprechts was first recorded in 1420 when a fiefdom was issued by Johannes Graf von Hardegg to Wolfgang Streun zu Schwarzenau. After Streun's death, Johannes Graf von Hardegg enfeoffed his wife Anna von Losenstein with various goods, including the "Dorff Rueprechts". The name of the place is derived as "settlement of a man with the Old High German-Bavarian personal name Ruodprecht".

The village belonged with its land, local and regional jurisdiction to the Schwarzenau lordship and in 1633 consisted of 21 feudal houses and 10 farmsteads as well as three desolate farmsteads. In 1636 six of the 31 houses were already deserted. The place grew to 39 houses by 1796, in 1848 Großrupprechts consisted of 46 houses.

Großrupprechts was elevated to a separate municipality after the abolition of the manor in 1850, and in 1899 the municipality of Großrupprechts was added to the newly founded Gmünd district. In 1900 the community consisted of 51 houses, in 1951 the place with 50 houses was almost as big as 50 years before. With effect from January 1, 1970, Großrupprechts was added to the market town of Vitis along with numerous other communities, and Großrupprechts thus became part of the Waidhofen an der Thaya district . At the same time, what is now the cadastral community experienced its strongest structural growth, with the place growing from 51 to 62 houses between 1951 and 2000. The number of inhabitants, however, fell from the peak in 1848 with 253 inhabitants to 206 inhabitants (2001).

In the political field, the Austrian People's Party (ÖVP) dominates the election results, analogous to the municipal level. In the municipal elections in 2010 , the ÖVP in the Großrupprechts district reached 76% (municipality result: 70%) and the Social Democratic Party of Austria (SPÖ) 24% (municipality result: 30%). In 2005, public transport had reached 72%.

Buildings

Local chapel

Großrupprechts was created as a Breitangerdorf with garden fields in a depression. It consists largely of three and four-sided courtyards with partly simple plastered facades from the 19th and 20th centuries. The chapel in the village of Großrupprechts was built by the village community between 1769 and 1772, with a wealthy butcher and horse dealer who had moved from Großrupprecht to Vienna, contributing to the costs. The chapel with a retracted semicircular apse and roof turret with a pyramid helmet has a curved gable with a figure niche on the outside. The chapel was dedicated to Saint Anthony of Padua , with the popular, baroque altarpiece showing Saint Anthony kissing the hands of the Infant Jesus, with the Infant Jesus sitting on the lap of his mother Mary. There is also a sculpture of St. Anthony in the chapel. Other small monuments near the exit to the south are a statue of Saint Felix of Cantalice donated by the ruler Polheim in 1752 and a tabernacle shrine on the dirt road to Vitis.
