location

The municipality of Grundlsee is located in the Ausseerland in the Styrian Salzkammergut in the district of Liezen , state of Styria . Grundlsee lies at 732 m above sea level. A. directly on the Grundlsee on the southwestern edge of the Dead Mountains .

The five localities of the municipality are located in an elongated valley on the banks of the Grundlsee , which is framed on three sides by the 1000-meter-high foothills of the Dead Mountains. The valley has an east-west length of about ten kilometers (to the Kammersee ) and a width of about one kilometer in a north-south direction with the only opening to the west to the Bad Aussee basin .

The most striking mountains that frame this valley are the Hundskogel ( 1748 m ), the Backenstein ( 1772 m ) and the Reichenstein ( 1913 m ) in the north, the Elm ( 2128 m ), the Große Hochkasten ( 2389 m ) and the White Wall ( 2198 m ) in the east, the Türkenkogel ( 1756 m ) and the Röthelstein ( 1614 m ) in the south. The highest mountain in Grundlsee is the Große Hochkasten at 2389 m on the border with Upper Austria .

The inhabited area has an average altitude of 750 m . Due to the alpine location and the large proportion of the Dead Mountains , around 75% of the municipal area consists of alpine wasteland , the rest are forests , grassland and other forms of land.

Waters

At 4.22 km², the Grundlsee is the largest lake in Styria and is drained by the Grundlseer Traun , one of the three source rivers of the Traun . He is the Stimitz , the Zimitzbach and Toplitz , the drainage stream of the past in the municipality Toplitzsee fed. In addition, the Dreibrüdersee , the Elmsee , the Henarsee , the Kammersee , the Vorderer and the Hinterer Lahngangsee lie in the municipality, as well as the source waters of the Traun , the so-called Traun origin .

geology

The Dead Mountains , whose foothills surround Grundlsee on three sides, consists largely of limestone and dolomite , which were formed in the seas of the Mesozoic Era , especially the Triassic and Jura , about 210 to 135 million years ago. In the north of the municipality there is predominantly the Plassenkalk of the Jura, in the east mainly the Dachsteinkalk of the Triassic and in the south the Triassic with Zlambach marl, Pedatakalk, Hallstatt layers , Gutensteiner Kalk and dolomite . The west of the Grundlsee towards Bad Aussee is characterized by a highly glacial ground moraine from the Würm glacial period . The gypsum and anhydrite deposits near the Wienern settlement (village of Gößl ) arose from the Upper Permian to the Scythian and consists of the Alpine Hasel Mountains . The lake basin of the Grundlsee was formed as a tongue basin of a glacier during the worm glaciation.

The settlement centers of the villages of Bräuhof, Archkogel, Mosern and Untertressen in the west of the municipality are completely on alluvial cones , debris and ground moraines, which were mostly formed in the Würm glacial period, some of which were postglacial . The settlement core of the village of Gößl lies entirely on a low terrace from the Pleistocene .

With karstification , many sinkholes and caves formed, such as the 17 km long Almberg cave system at the foot of the Backenstein.

climate

The climate in Grundlsee is determined by its geographical location in the Aussee basin. It is mainly characterized by its high altitude and its location in the northern congestion area. With currents from west to north, the result is often days of precipitation, which in winter are accompanied by a great deal of snow. With 100 to 120 days of snow cover per year, the Aussee Basin is one of the most snow-sure basin locations in Austria. Snowfall is expected from October to May, with fresh snow falling every third day on average from December to March. With a relative sunshine duration of over 50%, autumn is the most favorable time in terms of weather in the region. The climate in the Aussee Basin is often a stimulating climate , especially in winter .

history

Name story

The name Grundlsee is pronounced in standard German [ Grundlseː ]. The name was first mentioned in 1188 as Chrungilse . The spelling of the name varied over time, until the current spelling finally prevailed: Chrungilse (1188)> Chrungelse (1300)> Chrungelsee (1386)> Krungelsee (1450)> Crungelsee (1479)> Grunglsee (1493)> Chrundelsee & Grundelsee (1494)> Krunglsee (1496)> Crunglsee (1566)> Grundelsee (1665)> Grundlsee (today). The name of the cadastral community Grundlsee is derived from the name of the lake. This probably has its origin in the Old Slavic krągl jezero ( round lake ). Instead of the legal Krungelsee , this original form changed to today's Grundlsee . This was probably due to a folk etymological influence of the Middle High German goby, grundelinc ( the gudgeon ).

Primeval times, Celts and Roman times

The earliest witnesses of human settlement activity in the Grundlsee municipality are Paleolithic finds in the salt furnace cave in the Dead Mountains . Charcoal remains from a paleolithic fireplace found there could be dated to an age of around 34,000 years. Numerous relics from the Bronze and Iron Ages, as well as a Bronze Age settlement, were found along the natural traffic line of the Koppental in the neighboring municipality of Bad Aussee. These finds can be explained in the context of Hallstatt , which is only 20 km away and which, due to its archaeological importance, gave its name to the older Iron Age (800-450 BC). The younger Iron Age / La Tène period (500-100 BC), which was borne by the Celts , left no archaeological traces. Only the river name Traun (from Celtic druna , the running one) indicates Celtic settlement. As evidence of Roman rule in Noricum , traces of late Roman settlement were discovered during excavations in Bad Aussee and on the Altaussee Michlhallberg ( Sandling massif). According to the found material recovered so far, the settlement in Altaussee was likely to have existed from the end of the 2nd century AD to the late 4th century. A Roman salt mining is suspected there.

Slavs and Bavarians

The era of the Great Migration left no traces in the Ausseerland. The next population group that can be identified with certainty were the Slavs . Traces of Slavic settlement by name can be found in the entire Ausseerland (place and field names with the endings -itz, -itsch, -isch ; in Grundlsee e.g. Stimitz , Toplitz , Zimitz ). Around 800 a strong immigration of Bavarians began . Important traces of the first contact of the Slavs with the Bavarians are the place names. The earliest datable Germanizations of place names in Ausseerland come from the Old High German period before 1100.

middle Ages

The name Grundlsee ( apud chrungilse ) was first mentioned on August 2, 1188. Duke Ottokar IV was at the Grundlsee that day and sealed three documents there.

After the death of the last Duke of Babenberg, Friedrich II. In 1246, the elected Archbishop of Salzburg, Philipp von Spanheim , occupied large parts of the Ennstal and thus also the Ausseerland . To strengthen the new claim to power and to protect the nearby salt mines on the Sandling massif and the mule tracks, he built the small fortress Pflindsberg in neighboring Altaussee . Philipp von Spanheim had to retire after the Treaty of Ofen in 1254 and the castle and the Ausseerland were incorporated into Styria around 1260. The previous history of the Ausseerland is controversial. Most likely it was part of a county in the Ennstal under the margraves of the Carinthian Marks in the 12th to 13th centuries . The theory that the Aussee area previously belonged to the county of Traunau cannot be proven. The plant developed into the administrative center with lower jurisdiction of the independent rule Pflindsberg, which was separated from the sovereign rule Grauscharn-Pürgg . It comprised around 90% of the goods in the Ausseerland and, as part of the Salzkammergut, was princely.

Protestantism, re-Catholicization (from 1599), dominance of salt mining

With the Reformation in the 16th century, the population of the Ausseerland had become largely Protestant . From 1599 a re-Catholicisation commission forcibly pushed through the Counter Reformation . The entire Ausseerland was spared the major armed conflicts and social uprisings of the 16th and 17th centuries ( peasant wars , Thirty Years War ). Reasons for the absence of social tensions were a relatively secure livelihood for the population and extensive social concessions on the part of the authorities. The entire Salzkammergut was a closed territory that had dedicated itself to a mono-economy. The only line of business was salt production, to which all economic activity was tailored. The salt was mined in Altaussee and simmered into salt in the brewing pans in Bad Aussee. Grundlsee's role in this mono-economy was above all to supply the brew pans with the necessary firewood, i.e. the forestry necessary for salt production . The workers employed in this branch were also mostly small part-time farmers who, together with their family members, produced part of the essential products themselves. Due to the barreness and the severe climatic conditions, there were relatively few full-time farmers in the entire region .

During the Napoleonic Wars between 1800 and 1809, French troops marched through the Ausseerland several times. In 1809 the Koppen and Pötschen Passes were fortified and fortified. But there was no fighting. In 1813 the Pötschenpass was fortified again, this time with several gun emplacements, a powder magazine and two barracks. The expected battles for the pass did not materialize, as Napoleon's troops were decisively defeated in the Battle of Leipzig in October 1813 .

At the beginning of the 19th century, the Salzkammergut was discovered for the summer resort . So learned Archduke Johann of Austria in August 1819 on Toplitzsee his future wife Anna Plochl know. The nearby Bad Ischl developed into a prominent health resort and was an imperial summer residence from 1849 . The presence of the nobility in the region also made the Ausseerland more and more a center of attraction for the elegant society. Many artists and representatives of Viennese society were soon drawn to Grundlsee, which had become a political municipality since 1850 when the manor was abolished in 1848. The Aussee landscape attracted many painters early on. Between 1801 and 1848 Archduke Johann had his chamber painters work in Ausseerland, including Jakob Gauermann , Matthäus Loder , Thomas Ender and Jakob and Rudolf Alt , resulting in a large number of landscapes with motifs from Grundlsee. Another painter who worked in Grundlsee is Johann Matthias Ranftl , after whom the Ranftlmühle built in 1850 on the Stimitzbach is named. The Kronprinz-Rudolf-Bahn was opened in 1877 and the infrastructure of the Ausseerland was finally well developed for tourism. As early as 1879, tourist steamship traffic was started in Grundlsee with the wooden steamboat Archduke Johann . Among the artists and intellectuals who spent their summer vacation in Grundlsee or who settled there permanently, the industrialist and folklorist Konrad Mautner , the neurologist and founder of psychoanalysis Sigmund Freud and the conductor Herbert von Karajan deserve special mention.

National Socialism, Alpine fortress, Nazi treasure in Toplitzsee

After Austria was annexed to the German Reich in 1938, the entire Ausseerland was incorporated into the administrative unit of Upper Danube (Upper Austria). The autonomy of the municipalities of Bad Aussee, Grundlsee and Altaussee was dissolved and a mayor's office was set up in Bad Aussee. The Grundlsees and Altaussees municipal offices were henceforth field offices of Bad Aussee.

As a result, the Ausseerland attracted numerous Nazi figures, most of whom lived in previously Aryanized villas. For example, three National Socialist Gauleiter regularly spent their holidays in the neighboring town of Altaussee: August Eigruber , Konrad Henlein and Hugo Jury . In Grundlsee the Nazi propaganda minister resided Joseph Goebbels and his family in Castle Grundlsee .

Villa Roth on the Grundlsee

Villa Castiglioni on the Grundlsee

In 1943, work began on setting up a depot for art objects in the nearby Altaussee salt mine . In August of the same year, the storage of art treasures from Austrian churches, monasteries and museums began in order to protect them from bomb attacks. As of February 1944, the inventory of around 4,700 works of art was stored. It was this piece of art stolen from all over Europe , which was collected by Adolf Hitler under the code name Special Order Linz and was destined for the planned Führer Museum in Linz. At the end of the war, the entire depot contained around 6,500 paintings in eleven disused factories, as well as numerous statues, furniture, weapons, coins and libraries. Including part of the so-called guide library planned for Linz . The largest part of this library was deposited in the Villa Castiglioni in Grundlsee. (→ Main article: Altaussee salt mine salvage site )

Between 1943 and 1945 numerous technical weapons tests were carried out by the German navy at Lake Toplitz . At the end of the war, boxes with counterfeit British pound banknotes from Operation Bernhard were sunk in the lake, which should have been used to weaken the British economy. Rumor has it that gold reserves from the Third Reich , notes for numbered accounts and works of art were sunk in the lake at the end of the war . These rumors about the “gold treasure in Toplitzsee” have not been confirmed to date.

The Ausseerland was part of the so-called Alpine fortress and in 1944/45 a final retreat for National Socialist party and government offices and Wehrmacht headquarters. Entire governments installed in the Balkans by the National Socialists also sought refuge. In the neighboring town of Altaussee, for example, nine pro-fascist exiled governments from Eastern Europe were staying at the end of the war.

The Americans reached the Ausseerland on May 8, 1945. The main power of the US Army followed the next day. Before that, a self-appointed civil government under Albrecht Gaiswinkler had already formed in Bad Aussee , which maintained order and ensured that the population was fed.

Second republic

On July 1, 1948, Grundlsee was reintegrated into Styria. From 1945 to 1955 it was part of the US zone of occupation in Austria. Until 2011, Grundlsee was part of the political branch in Bad Aussee , which was converted into a branch of the Liezen district administration on January 1, 2012 . As part of the Styrian municipal structural reform, a merger with the municipalities of Bad Aussee and Altaussee has been under discussion in recent years. However, since February 2013 it has been decided that the three municipalities will remain independent.

Population development

The municipality is relatively sparsely populated with a population density of 7.9 inhabitants per km² (for comparison: Styria has 75.4 and Austria 104.6 inhabitants per km²).

The rough age structure of the Grundlsee population as of October 13, 2011 shows that 63.6% of the Grundlsee population are over 15 and under 65 years old. 11.6% of the population are younger, 24.8% older. The proportion of women in the population is 52.6%.

According to the 2011 register census, 7.9% of those over the age of 15 have graduated from a university , technical college or academy (proportion of women: 62.5%), 11.6% have the Matura (proportion of women: 51.6%) and 54.9% have completed an apprenticeship or vocational middle school (share of women 47.8%). 25.4% of those over fifteen have only completed compulsory schooling , including 63.6% women.

Origin, language and religion

According to the 2011 register census, 95.9% of the Grundlsee residents were Austrian citizens, 93.4% were born in Austria. 3.3% of the Grundlsee came from other EU countries, 0.8% from non-EU countries. In Grundlsee, like in the rest of the Salzkammergut , a variety of the Central or Danube Bavarian dialect is spoken. In the 2001 census, 98.3% of the population stated German as a colloquial language , 0.1% Burgenland-Croatian , 0.1% Croatian , 0.6% Serbian , 0.1% Hungarian , and 0.9% another language.

Regarding religious affiliation, 87.0% of the Grundlsee residents stated Roman Catholic as their religion, 4.4% Protestant , 0.4% Orthodox , 0.2% Israelite , 0.1% Islamic and 0.4% other in the same census Beliefs. 6.5% of the population stated that they were not confessed . With the Catholic parish church Grundlsee in the village of Bräuhof and the Messkapelle Gößl there are two official religious meeting rooms in the municipality. The area of the Grundlsee community is now part of the Catholic parish association of the "Ausseerland parishes" and is looked after by the Bad Aussee parish office. The members of the Protestant church belong to the Protestant parish Bad Aussee.

coat of arms

The official blazon of the municipal coat of arms awarded in 1982 reads:

"In red a silver Aquarius, half human, half fish, the right pointing upwards at an angle, the left holding silver gypsum crystals."

- Styrian state government

The Aquarius in the coat of arms is an allusion to the legend of Aquarius in the Grundlsee : An Aquarius captured in the Grundlsee is said to have given up the salt deposit in Sandling in the neighboring town of Altaussee in order to be released. The gypsum crystals in his hand are a reference to the gypsum deposit at Grundlsee. The color red should indicate the vital importance of salt, the silver color indicate the salt itself.

Culture and sights

Catholic parish church Grundlsee Sacred Heart of Jesus: The Grundlsee parish church in the Bräuhof district is dedicated to the sacred heart of Jesus . It was in the years 1888-1890, designed by Robert Mikovics in neo-gothic built style. Initially, the church was a branch church of the Bad Aussee parish and was only raised to an independent parish church in 1952. Most of the neo-Gothic furnishings date from the construction period. In addition to the carved Val Gardena wooden figures in the choir , a baroque statue from the second half of the 16th century of a “Madonna on the Globe”, which is a donation of Countess Czernin von und zu Chudenitz , should be emphasized .

Messkapelle Gößl

Kreuzkapelle

Imperial stable : The Imperial stable is a former stable building in the district of Mosern. As early as 1568 a fish master's house on the Grundlsee was mentioned, which also included a barn and a stable. One of the two buildings is today's imperial stable. Its name is reminiscent of the time when the Fischmeistergut was still "Kaiserlich -hoch Forst ärar ". In 1928 the entire property was incorporated into the federal treasury and in 1941 became the property of the Reich Forest Administration of the German Reich . In 1947 it returned to the possession of the Republic of Austria , which passed it on to the Austrian Federal Forests in 1952. The former stable has not served as a stable since then, but was used as a storage room and payment room for the lumbermen. Today the Imperial Stable is used as a space for exhibitions. The building is bricked on the ground floor, the two upper floors are made of wood.

Fish cold

Ranftlmühle : The wooden Ranftlmühle on the Stimitz , built in 1850, was named after the Viennese painter Johann Matthias Ranftl (1804–1854), who liked to stay at the Grundlsee. The mill has been extensively renovated in recent years.

Schachnermühle

Toplitzklause

Museums

In the community there is the imperial stable , which is used for exhibitions in the summer months.

Other museums in the Ausseerland are the Kammerhofmuseum in Bad Aussee, the central museum in the region with an extensive collection on the history and folk culture of the Ausseerland, the Altaussee Literature Museum , as well as the salt mine Altaussee, the mine of Altaussee salt mine . The exhibition series Kunst am Steinberg takes place in the premises of the Altaussee show mine in the summer months .

Regular events

Daffodil festival figure at the Grundlsee

Three regular events in Grundlsee deserve special mention. Every year at the end of May the Daffodil Festival is held in Ausseerland . The accompanying boat parade takes place annually, alternating once in Altaussee and once in Grundlsee.

The other two notable events at Grundlsee are concert series. Since 2005 (but pausing in 2016 and 2017), Sprudel, Sprudel & Musik , a festival for art, culture, nature and people , has been held in and around the village of Gößl on half a summer Saturday .

The Grundlsee-based band Die Seer plays an open air every year in the natural arena “Zloam” in Grundlsee.

Economy and Infrastructure

Education, safety, health and clubs

There is an independent elementary school in the community .
Secondary schools up to the Matura are located in the neighboring municipality of Bad Aussee.
The nearest full university is in Salzburg, 85 km away .

Today there is no longer a police station in Grundlsee. The area of responsibility of the former gendarmerie post was incorporated into the Bad Aussee police station.

With the Grundlsee volunteer fire brigade founded in 1890 and the Gößl volunteer fire brigade founded in 1906, the community has two independent fire brigades. The main building of the former is in the village of Bräuhof , that of the second in the village of Gößl, around 8 km to the east .
The Grundlsee / Gößl water weir's boathouse is also located in Gößl .

For health care by a general practitioner or a specialist, you generally have to go to the neighboring Bad Aussee. This is also where the LKH Bad Aussee is located, which is operated jointly with the LKH Rottenmann as the “Rottenmann-Bad Aussee Hospital Association”.

More than 23 clubs (2014) are registered in the Grundlsee community.

traffic

Due to its relatively secluded location in a valley basin, Grundlsee is only connected to the national road network in the west. Here it is Grundlseerstraße L 703 that connects the community to the west with Bad Aussee, around five kilometers away. From there, the Salzkammergutstrasse B 145 is the connection to the west over the Pötschenpass to Bad Goisern and Bad Ischl and to the east into the Hinterbergtal and further over the Klachauer Höhe to Trautenfels im Ennstal .

Grundlsee can be reached by public transport using the ÖBB-Postbus GmbH buses . The 956 bus connects the community up to twelve times a day to the neighboring community of Bad Aussee (travel time: 15 minutes to Bräuhof , 20 minutes to Gößl ). The closest connection to the rail network is also in Bad Aussee, around 5 km to the west.

The nostalgic ships of Schifffahrt Grundlsee operate on the Grundlsee from the end of April to the beginning of November . From the Seehotel landing stage on the west bank of the lake, the motor ships sail 4 to 6 times a day to Gößl on the east bank of the lake and back (with a stop at the pavilion landing stage ). The travel time for one way is around 30 minutes. In the course of the 3-lake tour, there is also the option of crossing the Grundlsee as well as the Toplitzsee with motor boats and then hiking to the Kammersee .

Tourism association

Together with Altaussee, Bad Aussee and Bad Mitterndorf, the municipality forms the “Ausseerland-Salzkammergut” tourist association. Its seat is Bad Aussee.

Despite the rather harsh climate described above, Grundlsee is a climatic health resort.

sport and freetime

Pühringerhütte in the Dead Mountains

Albert Appel House in the Dead Mountains

There are twelve sports clubs in Grundlsee.

The surrounding mountains of the Dead Mountains are accessible through a well-marked hiking network, so the purple path of the cross-border long-distance hiking trail Via Alpina also leads through the municipality. There are also two shelters on this, the Albert-Appel-Haus and the Pühringerhütte .
