The church ruins of St. Martin in Nöstach

Nöstach is a village in the municipality of Altenmarkt an der Triesting and is located on the road from Altenmarkt to Alland . The village of Hafnerberg also belongs to the cadastral community of the same name .

location

The village Nöstach consists of some farms and a Mostheurigen at the intersection between the Old Market, Alland, Neuhaus and is the stream Nösta (or in the ancient Slavic Name- Nezta ) in a valley between Schwechattal and Triestingtal . The village of Hafnerberg consists of two restaurants, a tool shop, the volunteer fire brigade, a handful of houses and above all the pilgrimage church. It is located on the mountain saddle (height 478 m) between Nöstach and Altenmarkt, on the old pilgrimage route Via Sacra from Vienna to Mariazell . There is a 500 year old linden tree on the village square .

history

In 1136 , two nobles from Nöstach, the brothers Heinrich and Rapoto from the Haderiche family, supported by Margrave Leopold III, founded the Benedictine monastery Cella Sancte Marie - which later became Klein-Mariazell . In addition to extensive estates in the north of Lower Austria, they also gave him their urbs propria (Latin for “own city”, “big city”) - Schwarzenburg, which they had inherited from their parents. The term urbs was often misinterpreted in historiography and the legend arose that Nöstach was once a city, like Rome, built on seven hills. But this was not one of those, but rather the castle of the two brothers, to which some serfs also belonged. Presumably this was where the fortified church ruin St. Pankraz is today; more recent excavations indicate this.

In the course of the Josephine reforms around 1785 , the churches of St. Pankraz and St. Martin there were found to be superfluous, abandoned and their masonry released for demolition.

A Marian column, donated by the master miller Pankraz Reichart from Fischamend , was the first sacred building. A small chapel was built at its location in 1716–1726 by the Viennese traders Michael and Clara Fürst . Soon she could no longer grasp the many votive offerings of the pilgrims. The pilgrimage church Hafnerberg was built from 1729 to 1745 by a resolution of the convent of the Klein-Mariazell Abbey , the more or less voluntary work of the village population, and the money of many donors, especially the Adam Petras-Petrasin family (kk Viennese court saddlery). The donor's son, Father Laurentius Petras , was a construction manager and became the first church administrator . Father and son died shortly after the building was completed and are buried in the crypt in front of the high altar. Their portraits are exhibited in the corridor of the rectory.

The magnificent baroque interior was completed in 1771 and Emperor Joseph II installed the new pilgrimage church as a parish church in 1783.

The old way from Hafnerberg to Triestingtal no longer corresponded to the increased traffic at the end of the 18th century. In 1802 , the kk forestry master builder Philipp Schlucker built the road into the mountain, which is still in use today and which, like the inn there , is called the Kleine Semmering because of its serpentines . (Not to be confused with the Kleiner Semmering mountain saddle of the same name between Breitenfurt and Wolfsgraben .)

The magical and mystical places on Hafnerberg as concentric stone circles with a "strong positive rays crossing", perforated bricks , the Four Brothers tree from four different types of wood, Visurhügel those using one allegedly in prehistoric times the Peilstein should have observed and Durchkriechsteine nowadays interest the geomants , Radiesthetes and biosensors .
