history

Population development

Heinreichs was first mentioned as Hainreichs in 1417 in the land register before Hardegg, Pulkau and Schrems . The name Heinreichs means that it was about the settlement of a man who bore the Old High German name Heinreich. At the time of its first documentary mention in 1417, the Heinreichs comprised two farms, 13 fiefs and a farmstead, with the Heinreichs belonging to the Schrems manorial estate with all rights . In 1594 Amalia Römer von Grünau acquired the place, in the 1630s the Heinreichs was owned by Sebastian Stockhorner, owner of the Grünau estate. During this time, Stockhorner had a castle with a manorial seat built in Heinreichs. Stockhorner's building project came at a time when the Heinreichs were increasingly deserted. In 1595 the village had sixteen donated houses, in 1673 there were only eight. In 1761 the Stockhorns sold Heinreichs and were the last Protestant aristocrats to leave Lower Austria. The manorial administration subsequently fell to Schrems, the castle and the associated buildings and usable areas were assigned to other fiefs.

Heinreichs grew in the 18th century through the construction of numerous small houses, with the residents living in them mainly living from home work. These weavers and twisting twists earned their livelihood in the context of proto-industrial publishing. The population of Heinreichs rose sharply as a result, in 1848 there were already 367 people living in Heinreichs, whereby the number of houses had risen to 65. As a result of the potato rot, however, hunger riots broke out in 1847, as potatoes were the main food of the smallholders. In addition, the increasing use of machines in industry led to wage losses or unemployment for weavers. As a result, the population began to decline in Heinreichs, which has not been stopped since. The school, built in 1847/1848, was converted into a youth hostel in 1992.

In the political field, the Austrian People's Party (ÖVP) dominates the election results, analogous to the municipal level. In the electoral district of Heinreich, the ÖVP achieved 61% (community result: 70%) and the Social Democratic Party of Austria (SPÖ) 39% (community result: 30%) in the 2010 local council election . In 2005 the SPÖ had reached 47%.

Buildings

Local chapel

Heinreichs is a street village that has been widened like a hill. The three and four-sided courtyards have partly simple plastered facades. The dominant building of the village is the village chapel, which overtakes all other village chapels in the municipality of Vitis due to its exterior and its furnishings. The building was built by Anna Appolonia Stockhorner in 1690, who consecrated the chapel to the Holy Trinity despite the Protestant faith of her family. The high, baroque building has a low rectangular apse and an imaginary tower, which is crowned by a pyramid roof. The interior of the two-bay church is surmounted by a lancet barrel vault over pilasters, the wooden gallery has acanthus pilasters and angel heads from around 1700. The marbled columnar altar from the time the chapel was built has an altarpiece from the 19th century showing the Holy Family. In addition, the altar is decorated with carved, baroque figures of St. Mary with child and St. Nepomuk (both 18th century). Furthermore, on the road to Jaudling, there is the so-called "plague column", a granite shrine from the 16th century. This oldest field monument in the municipality has twisted fluting and is crowned by a crucifix.
