history

Before the birth of Christ, the area was part of the Celtic Kingdom of Noricum and belonged to the surroundings of the Celtic hill settlement Burg on the Schwarzenbacher Burgberg .

Later under the Romans, today's places Gschaidt and Hochneukirchen were then in the province of Pannonia .

Hochneukirchen is mentioned as the first place of the settlements in the south of the Bucklige Welt, which were established after the clearing of the Waldmark, in a document issued in Bernstein on January 27, 1295 in which Count Yban von Güssing undertook to part of the rule Kirchschlag to be returned to Leuthold von Kuenring , the owner of the Kirchschlager rule, against payment of 90 gold ducats. The other 11 villages in the municipality were only mentioned in a document at a later date.

The fortified church of Hochneukirchen was a very important building at the time. After all, the church was the villagers' last refuge when the enemy invaded the country. During the Turkish era around 1500, the church was given an upper storey that was equipped with loopholes and spy holes. The threat from the Turks , however, was harmless compared to the incursion of the Kuruzen , who were Hungarian insurgents who spread terror and fear at the beginning of the 18th century.

Until the independent communities were founded, the “Amt Hochneukirchen” belonged to the rule Krumbach and the “Amt Gschaidt” to the rule Ziegersberg . These two cadastral communities were constituted as their own independent communities in 1854 : Hochneukirchen with 998 inhabitants in 122 houses and Gschaidt with 395 inhabitants and 51 houses. In 1895 the volunteer fire brigades Hochneukirchen and Gschaidt were founded, a facility that had proven to be urgently needed in view of the numerous fires. The first school house was built after the introduction of compulsory schooling in 1774. In 1882 the first observation tower was built on the Hutwisch ; there is now the third observation point there. Hochneukirchen and Gschaidt were only gradually opened up to modern economic life through road construction, as it was a purely agricultural community that led a completely self-contained life. In 1856 the road connection from the sawmill (Krumbach) to Hochneukirchen was established.

After the Second World War , a constant upward development began in the community, which affected all areas of life of the community residents. Much has changed, especially through the creation and expansion of various public facilities. Beginning in the 1960s, the rapid expansion of infrastructural facilities such as freight routes, elementary and secondary schools, water supply, sewage disposal, official buildings, building yards, sports facilities, to name just the most important, began. On January 1, 1971, the formerly independent communities of Hochneukirchen and Gschaidt were merged to form the community of Hochneukirchen-Gschaidt.

On April 12, 1995, on the occasion of the 700th anniversary celebrations, the state parliament of Lower Austria raised it to the status of a market town and gave it the market coat of arms.

religion

According to the 2001 census data , 97.5% of the population are Roman Catholic and 1.0% Protestant . 1.1% of the population have no religious denomination.
