history

Inn with wall painting Hutstein

Around the year 980, Bishop Pilgrim von Passau sent Franconian settlers to this area, who made the land arable and populated piece by piece. The clearing name "-schlag" indicates the history of the settlement in the high medieval clearing wave between the 11th and 13th centuries. The place first appears in a document in 1369, where it is listed as "Hawslag" in the list of subjects of the Litschau rule and is mentioned there with 14 fiefs and a farmstead. The Haugschlag parish was established in 1784 and the Haugschlag parish church completed in 1787.

Haugschlag was part of the Litschau rule for many centuries. In 1590/91 there were 14 subordinate houses in the village; In 1751 Haugschlag counted 20 subordinate houses.

In the Fifth Coalition War (1809) Haugschlag was heavily damaged. During the Austro-Prussian War (1866) the Prussian army withdrew via the Waldviertel and 600 Prussian soldiers were quartered briefly in Haugschlag.

After the revolution of 1848 , Haugschlag was established as an independent political municipality , was then assigned to the Litschau district and is now in the Gmünd district . Haugschlag was later united with the neighboring community of Griesbach.
