history

500-1500

At the beginning of the Middle Ages stood the imposing personality of the Franconian bishop Rupert von Salzburg , the founding saint of Salzburg, who worked in the neighborhood of Henndorf am Wallersee. The late Middle Ages were shaped by the rule of the Lords of Tann (powerful Salzburg noble family - until the end of the 14th century) at Lichtentann Castle.

From 1600

In 1609 Henndorf had around 500 inhabitants, after which the population increased continuously. Disruptive factors in village life were superstition, distrust of strangers and the relationship between the poor and the wealthy. After the end of the Lords of Tann, the Überacker family, who had lived in Salzburg since the Middle Ages, took care of Alten- and Lichtentann for many generations. For almost the entire 17th century, they administered the Altentann heritage. From 1825, the two castles were already in the private ownership of the Moser brewing family, who had bought the grounds and ruins.

The famine years in Europe around 1770 had terrible effects - epidemics spread, prices soared, grain and meat products were hardly affordable for rural residents and encouraged hostility. The numerous church festivals offered a certain balance to the often dreary living conditions.

Napoleon Bonaparte kept world politics in check in the late 18th and early 19th centuries with strategically well thought-out campaigns. In December 1800 the French moved into Salzburg. After leaving a garrison behind, they pursued the retreating Austrian troops. As early as December 13th, the first Austrian troops and their allied troops passed Henndorf on their retreat to stop and get food. Two days later the first feared French troop came to Henndorf. The more the number of soldiers grew, the more disorderly and violent the passage was. In addition to the marching soldiers, the village also had to accommodate French prisoners of war. Around 170 soldiers remained in the village until the peace agreement in mid-March 1801.

Henndorf in the 19th century

The sources of income, which had not increased significantly over long periods of time, had to feed a fairly constant population and be sufficient for a modest cultural offer. At the head of the Henndorf community since 1850 there was a community council elected by dignitaries. Agriculture formed the framework of Henndorf's economy, from which the majority of the residents lived. The trades that could develop and maintain in the small town of Henndorf served exclusively the local supply of the surrounding rural areas, the needs of the brewery and its employees as well as the supply of travelers. The official calendar of 1886 included 64 businesses.

With its regulations, norms, impositions and financial burdens, the state endangered the village subsistence system and the autonomous regulatory competence much more than the internal economic and social village dynamics and the long-term effects of the industrial revolution. He often called for a rapid change to the modern, while the village insisted on the old or at least wanted smooth transitions and adaptations to the new. The almost seventy years of municipal administration from 1850 to 1918 are therefore at the same time a phase of resistance to the pace of nationalization.

The First World War brought hunger and hardship to Henndorf as well as indentations, the billeting of refugees from the eastern crown lands of the Habsburg monarchy, the lack of clothing and necessities.

1918-1945

The Henndorf population took note of the change in the form of rule, the transition from monarchy to republic, almost phlegmatically. The old functionaries remained in office until the new election of the municipal council, even the obligation to co-opt a representative of the rural industrial workers in the municipal council was not taken into account. Daily life was primarily shaped by worrying about getting food. The municipal council thus became a mere distribution point and an extended arm of the state's food collection. The welfare of their own population was closer to the economic council and municipal council than the interests of the higher authority. For reasons of savings, the municipal council had to endeavor to contain expenses as much as possible. Given the Henndorf conditions, this meant dealing as sparingly as possible with the budget items for community administration, public safety, roads, paths and bridges, as well as school expenses. After spending on the poor, most of the funds were required for these concerns. Understandably, people only invested in new buildings when they were absolutely necessary. In the Henndorf budget plans from 1918 to 1937 not a single groschen was shown for this.

From the 1920s the area around the Wallersee was strongly anti-Semitic and racist. Groups hostile to Jews proclaimed the goal of making the region a "Jew-free summer resort". From 1932 the NSDAP was active in Henndorf. There were constant disputes between the often Jewish summer guests and the mostly Nazi-minded residents who openly paid homage to Adolf Hitler as early as March 1933 . Letters of protest from the summer guests to the state government were unsuccessful.

From 1933 Carl Zuckmayer settled permanently in Henndorf because of the politically and economically critical situation for him. Although he himself was declared a "half-Jew" and was a victim of anti-Semitic attacks, his house became a meeting place for Nazi supporters (e.g. Emil Jannings , Werner Krauss ) as well as many persecuted artists, emigrants and anti-fascists: u. a. Ödön von Horváth , Marlene Dietrich , Alma Mahler-Werfel , Stefan Zweig , Theodor Haubach and Helmuth James Graf von Moltke . After Zuckmayer's escape in 1938, the property became a bone of contention for the local SA , NSDAP and Hitler Youth departments . In 1940 it was "aryanized": after it first fell to the National Socialist People's Welfare (NSV) , a Berlin lawyer from Zuckmayer's former Ullstein publishing house bought it from the German Reich at a price that was far below its value. In 1948 the house was restituted to Zuckmayer , who did not live in it again and sold it in 1950.

With the end of the Second World War, the federal state of Salzburg embarked on a process of modernization that was unique in its history and made it one of the most highly developed regions of the Second Republic in terms of tax payments and national income.

• Henndorfer Tracht: The name Carl Mayr is associated with the creation of Henndorfer Tracht. Around 1900 there was an effort to renew old costumes. Carl Mayr provided decisive impetus for this. He used old cuts and reshaped them. These were included in the Salzburg costume folder. As early as 1935, the first Salzburg costume folder was published, which was supplemented in 1943 with traditional costumes for Salzburg in four folders Our Tracht . In the costume folder I you can read the following:

“More than 40 years ago, the academic painter Carl Mayr from Henndorf created a costume based on old models from the Flachgau region, which became very popular as an expression of popular sentiment and was given the name Henndorfer after the place of origin. It was made for the first time by Mrs. Judith Fürst, née Gassner from Sighartstein . "

• The Henndorfer men's costume designs, also by Carl Mayr, were adopted by both the Lanz company (one of the first Austrian costume clothing stores) and the renowned Salzburg leather clothing company Johann Jahn (now Jahn-Markl). A peculiarity of the female costume is the resumption of the body with the sleeves made of the same material. Before, what is often forgotten today, the dirndl costume consisted only of a skirt, shirt and bodice. It was only through the intervention of this Henndorf artist that today's dirndl was born. The now so amusing varieties of summer, winter and evening dirndl can also be traced back to Carl Mayr's ideas. Spurred on by the great applause that his first costumes found everywhere they appeared, the Henndorf Circle, which was initially quite small, soon expanded significantly. In the beginning it was a couple of Henndorf seamstresses who - led by Mayr - tailored these traditional costumes, but soon tradespeople and specialists came to develop the powerful ideas technically and economically. It is worth mentioning, by the way, that this Henndorf costume gave rise to the sophisticated use of linen. And the fact that so much dyed linen is worn in town and country today can also be traced back to Henndorf influences.
• There are three choirs in Henndorf: the St. Vitus Chamber Choir , which, among other things, helps organize services and regularly gives concerts, and the Mama Mia Choir and the Henndorfer Singkreis, which is purely a women's association.
