history

Primeval times to ancient times

The oldest secure evidence of human presence comes from the last glacial period and belongs chronologically and culturally to the Aurignacia . Around 30,000 years ago, people camped at the left Taffa valley in what is now the western part of the city. What has survived is a fireplace, bone fragments from Ice Age hunting animals ( mammoth , reindeer , wild horse ) and numerous stone artefacts (tools). Around 12,000 years ago, people from the late Paleolithic lived on a hill (hallway Galgenberg) east of the city . Small stone artefacts have been found on cultural remains. The oldest known rural settlements from around 5000 BC could be located in the corridors “Spitzteich” and “Molder Feld”. Typically decorated remains of the note head ceramics and green stone artifacts (shoe last wedges and hatchets) were found. A settlement of the early Lengyel culture existed around 4500 BC on the Stephansberg, as can be seen in red and yellow painted and incised remains of vessels, spoon fragments, a flat ax and half a perforated ax. An important settlement of the late Lengyel culture existed in the "Auf der Haid" corridor. This settlement area was also occupied in the following Jordan mill culture.

Evidence from the Copper Age can only be listed in very few documents. A decorated shard of the Laibach-Vucedol culture and a fragment of a bell -shaped beaker with typical stamp decoration belong here from the “Spitzteich” corridor .

So far, relatively little is known about the Bronze Age of the Horner Boden from around 2200 BC. Extensive settlement remains from the Middle Bronze Age were found in the "Spitzteich" corridor. The late Bronze Age, the period from around 1250 BC. Is represented by a burial ground and a settlement. Forty cremation graves with poor inventory and a few bronze objects allow dating to Hallstatt A level . The late urn field culture (Hallstatt B) is evidenced by a settlement (ceramic remains, spindle whorls, weaving weights, bronze sickle).

From the area of ​​the "Spitzteich" corridor or the former brickworks, numerous settlement pits of an early Iron Age settlement date from 750 BC. Chr. Birth. The rather poor finds suggest a continuous development from the late Bronze Age. A bronze animal brooch and ceramic remains with notched carvings in the South German style suggest extensive contacts ( salt trade ). A late Iron Age burial ground (group of graves?) From the middle to late Latène period was found in the "Lower Breiteneicherfeld". A warrior's grave contained the typical equipment of that time (sword, lance, shield). A small settlement is occupied by combs and remnants of iron smelting for the "Spitzteich" corridor.

From the post-Christian period there is an eye primer from Galgenberg (litter find from the first century AD) and Germanic settlement remains from the second to third centuries from the fields “Spitzteich” and “Molder Feld”. For this time there is evidence of an iron smelting plant in the "Spitzteich" corridor - probably following the Celtic activity. This Marcomannic settlement phase is the last clearly proven in the Horner area before the Germanic conquest .

In the fifth century AD, body burials with jewelry and ceramics (a silver inlaid belt buckle and common Germanic Suebi ceramic shapes) date back to the fifth century AD . Some Lombard vessel remains decorated with a stamp (Galgenberg corridor) date to the middle of the 6th century.

From the time of the ninth to the tenth century, there are some remains of vessels decorated with wavy ribbons from the "Spitzteich" corridor, which indicate a German-Slavic presence.

Middle Ages to modern times

The oldest documented mention of the place name Horn ("Hornarun") dates back to the middle of the 11th century. This name refers to the church settlement that was built in the early 11th century in the vicinity of the fortified church St. Stephan. Ceramic finds indicate this settlement. Around 1150/1160, the successors of Count Kerold laid out a castle town with a triangular square on the opposite side of the Taffa. The place name goes back to the field name * ze Horn (w) arun , which can be translated as 'Bei den Menschen am Horn'.

In 1282 the settlement was first referred to as a city. Especially in the late Middle Ages , horn played an important regional role. The city was an important trading center with a toll and customs post and also the seat of a high court . The historic city ​​wall with defense towers has largely been preserved until now.

In the late 16th century the city developed into a center of the Reformation . The Horner Bund - founded in 1608 - was an amalgamation of the Protestant nobles who separated themselves against the Catholic sovereign Matthias. The town owes the appointment of the Piarist Order (1656), the establishment of a high school Schola Hornana (1657) and a commercial settlement of thirty drapery and dyer houses (1650) to the most important representative of the Counter Reformation , Count Ferdinand Sigismund Kurtz von Senftenau . Graf Kurz was followed in 1659 by his son-in-law Ferdinand Maximilian Graf zu Sprinzenstein (1625–1679) and from 1679 with his son-in-law Leopold Karl Graf Hoyos, married. with the daughter Maria Regina Countess Sprinzenstein (d. 1704), who took care of these related Count Hoyos , from 1822 Count Hoyos-Sprinzenstein, under whose aegis the industrialization of the city took place.

In 1732, a large was brewery built that from about 1750 far beyond the city limits, especially in Vienna famous Horner wheat beer , and later Green beer produced.

The district authority has been based in Horn since 1850. With the opening of the Kamptalbahn in 1889, Horn was connected to the railway network. In the 20th century, the city became a school town due to numerous schools located here. In addition, it is important as a garrison location and seat of a district court, which in total made Horn one of the main towns in the Waldviertel.

The National Socialist era is considered the blackest chapter in the city's history . Participation in crimes such as the expulsion of the Jews has been proven. The city administration took a clear position from 1938, for example through names such as Adolf-Hitler-Platz (today's Hauptplatz and formerly Dollfuss-Platz) and Hermann-Göring-Straße (today's Florianigasse between Hauptplatz and Rathausplatz). An Adolf Hitler fountain was set up in the courtyard of the Höbarthmuseum, which still exists today in a modified form in the courtyard of the new museum. They were particularly proud of the oldest depiction of the swastika in the German Empire, a Stone Age object from Mold bei Horn, which was exhibited in a museum in a pompous presentation by district leader Hans Heinz Dum and party member Josef Höbarth. The Israelitische Kultusgemeinde Horn , founded in 1873, was dissolved within 24 hours in September 1938 and all Jews in the Horn district were forcibly resettled to Vienna.

Garrison town of Horn and the Radetzky barracks

Horn tried in 1936 to build barracks to become a garrison site. Already in October 1937 the newly established IV.  Battalion of the "Lower Austrian Infantry Regiment No. 6  Hesser " moved from Krems to the quickly built barracks. The beginning was two crew buildings, a coach house, a command, an officers casino and a stable building. An infantry regiment was supposed to move into the new Albrecht barracks in Horner, but this was destroyed due to the annexation to the German Reich . Instead, the Horn garrison was transferred to the 44th Infantry Regiment of the German Wehrmacht . At the end of the Second World War , the barracks were mostly wounded in two hospitals.

At the end of the war, the Red Army took over the barracks area and used it as a prisoner of war camp, among other things. In 1946, the roughly damaged buildings were taken over by the Lower Austria Gendarmerie School and the Gendarmerie Command. When freedom was regained in accordance with the State Treaty of May 15, 1955 , a Landwehr regiment of the newly created Austrian Armed Forces was relocated from Spittal an der Drau to Horn in 1956 . Extensive renovation and expansion work began. The barracks, which had been renamed Radetzky barracks in 1967 , were expanded to include a farm building by 1973 and a team building in the form of a cross and sports facilities by 1981.

  • Former citizen hospital: Donated around 1395. The extensive building complex, which has been rebuilt several times, also includes a small chapel from the 15th century. The museums of the city of Horn have been housed here since 1973:
  • Höbarthmuseum : In the by Josef Höbarth named and founded in 1930 Museum is one of the most important prehistoric to see collections of Lower Austria. Other exhibition themes concern folklore and city history. There is also an important collection of antiquities. A documentary deals with the robber chief Johann Georg Grasel , who is said to have been imprisoned in the museum's own Graselturm. After his death he was marketed as a kind of " Robin Hood ". Today's tourism experts have rediscovered Grasel as an attraction. After the museum's founder died, the prehistorian Friedrich Berg headed the Höbarth Museum from 1954 to 1965 and continued Höbarth's excavation activities. One of his most spectacular finds was the mammoth tusk from Großweikersdorf, which he was able to recover in 1956. Under museum director Ingo Prihoda, the Höbarthmuseum moved to the building complex of the former citizens' hospital, where the museum was reopened in 1973. Large historical special exhibitions shaped the nineties of the 20th century under museum director Erich Rabl. The most successful exhibition in 1990 was dedicated to the topic of "Between gentlemen and farm people - bourgeois life in the Waldviertel 1500–1700". Almost 14,000 visitors saw the supplementary exhibition to the Lower Austrian state exhibition Adel im Wandel on the Rosenburg , which was scientifically supervised by Gustav Reingrabner . As part of the preparations for the Lower Austrian State Exhibition 2009 in Horn, Raabs and Telč, the renovation of the Höbarthmuseum began in January 2008; An extension in the courtyard, the relocation of the Waldviertel library to former living quarters and a new arrangement of the collections are intended to increase the attractiveness of the Höbarthmuseum. From the end of August 2008 and in 2009, the historical special exhibition “Noble power and religious freedom - The Horner Bund 1608” will be shown despite the museum renovation. Gustav Reingrabner, who has worked for the Horner museums since 1987, has taken over the scientific management. Since 2006 the management of the Höbarth and Madermuseum has been in the hands of Toni Kurz. The museum is owned by the municipality of Horn; There is a museum association to support museum activities, the chairman of which has been the Horner pharmacist Gilbert Zinsler since 2002.

Since then, numerous Horner clubs from all branches have organized a lively program of events. Since then, the house has been expanded and rebuilt time and again, and a small hall has been added.
The Christian Workers' Association , which ran it until 1984, was no longer able to continue operating in its modern form; a lot of extensive repair and renovation work was necessary. The idea that it should actually be the task of the community to operate a city hall caught on and was also heard in the town hall. In June 1985 the purchase agreement was concluded. In 1986, after a planning phase, the local council approved the conversion of the house into a modern event center according to plans by the Viennese architect Anton Schweighofer . The renovation began in 1987, and the new club house was officially opened in 1989.

Today the Thurnhof houses the town hall , the city ​​library and the booth of the Catholic Austrian Student Union Waldmark Horn.
  • Schützenplatz and Stadtpark: From 1589 to 1897, the shooting range of the Horner Schützenverein, which existed until 1977 and has a 400-year tradition, was located on this area.

  • Clothmakers ' settlement : In today's Raabser Straße there are remains of the clothmakers' settlement built around 1650 by Count Ferdinand Sigmund Kurz von Senftenau (1592–1659), one of the first early industrial workers' settlements in Austria.

The one-storey houses with a street-facing room and a central corridor facing the eaves are now partly heavily changed, partly they have also been demolished and replaced by new buildings.
