The Strobl Forest Management is a property in Weißenbach in the municipality of Strobl am Wolfgangsee in the Salzkammergut , Salzburg Province .

location

The property is located directly at the entrance to the Weißenbachtal , which branches off southwards from the Wolfgang- / Ischltal to the Postalm . The brook enters the valley widening of the Ischl (Ischler Ache) , the corridor is called Weißenbachau .

history

Under Archbishop Hieronymus Fürst von Colloredo , an iron hammer mill was built here from 1795 to 1798 in order to use the wood of the Osterhorn group and the energy of the Weißenbach. The establishment of the company was primarily an economic promotion for the Salzburg region of Strobl against the dominant Austrian Wolfgangland and Salzkammergut ; the pig iron had to be transported here via Ebenau .

After the sovereign prince-archbishopric was united with the Austrian Empire in 1803, the wood supply for the Ischl salt mountain and the Ebensee saltworks became more important. Already after 1815 the plant was subordinated to the Ischl Salt Office . The hammer operation was discontinued around 1832. The factory buildings were largely demolished.

As a result, the timber industry was subordinated to the kk Forstarkar , and the seat of the prince-archbishop's Unterwaldamt or the forest and domain administration Zinkenbach from Gschwand (Abersee, St. Gilgen) was moved here. In 1923 the state forests were transferred to the federal forests as property of the republic . The forest management entrusted 8,850 hectares in the local communities St. Gilgen , Strobl and St. Wolfgang , of which only half were forest, the rest were alpine pastures and 10% of Lake Wolfgang. The forestry service districts were St. Gilgen, Gschwand (St. Gilgen), Gschwendt , Weißenbach (both Strobl) and Rußbach (St. Wolfgang), from 1973 only three. In 1990 Strobl was merged with the Bad Ischl Forest Administration and the administration relocated (the Salzburg parts were then assigned to the Hintersee Forestry Company in 1997, and to the Flachgau-Tennengau Forest Company in Abtenau in 2004 ).

The Weißenbach Hnr. 1 and 2 are still owned by the federal forests and are rented out.

In 1802, Vinzenz Maria Süß , the founder of the Salzburg Museum Carolino Augusteum, was born here as the son of the hammer mill's accountant . Josef Lasser von Zollheim was born here in 1814 or 15 , constitutional lawyer, multiple minister and governor of Tyrol.

Buildings

House No. 2, formerly a workers' residence , is a two-story building with three projections on the east side and a hipped roof . The actual forester's house (No. 1), south of it, is smaller and has a central projectile on both sides.

It has largely been preserved in its late Baroque construction and is a listed building .
