Imbach is a village and a cadastral municipality of the municipality of Senftenberg in Lower Austria with 591 inhabitants (as of January 1, 2020).

geography

Imbach is a street group village in the Lower Austrian Kremstal and is located around five kilometers northwest of the city of Krems an der Donau .

The townscape is shaped by the former Dominican church, today's parish church . The development of the place is predominantly two-story and eaves. The core of the buildings is partly from the late Middle Ages. The thoroughfare and the Kirchengasse to the north behind the church run in an east-west direction. The former fortification wall dates from the 15th century and surrounded the place. Remnants of it are visible at the corner of Kirchengasse / Weintalstraße and above Kirchengasse.

history

Imbach in 1888

Name story

In the Middle Ages Imbach was often referred to as "Minnenbach", "Minnpach" and "Mimbach". The actual meaning of the name "Imbach" has not yet been scientifically clarified. Two different linguistic roots are assumed. On the one hand, it could come from the personal name “Minno” and -bach, or from the Middle High German word “minne” (= love) and -bach.

prehistory

The oldest records about Imbach go back to the first half of the 12th century. For the year 1130 a document shows Adelpdreh von Minnenbach as a witness and around 1155 the name Rudiger von Winnebach appears in a document by Otto von Rechberg . In the decades that followed, the names of the Lords von Imbach were repeatedly found as witnesses in documents from the Babenbergers .

The remains of the castle of the Lords of Imbach were only located in 1979 on the eastern slope of the Scheibelberg ( 486  m above sea level ) by Hans Goedicke . In the following years the remains of the ruins were excavated by the Federal Monuments Office.

Imbach at the time of the Dominican convent

The history of the place Imbach itself can only be continuously traced from the year 1269. On March 1, 1269, Albero von Feldsberg donated land to nuns of the Dominican Order to build a monastery and a church in Imbach. In order to rule out any possible suppression of the monastery sisters by the lords of the castle in the future, he also left the Imbach castle ruins to them as building material. He also donates a chapel and its income, a mill and the village of Sallingberg with the right of patronage over the church and the church in Altmünster with all rights and income. Albero is likely to have died a short time later, because on July 5, 1269 the nuns received income from the village of Nöhagen through his widow Gisela. That Albero von Feldsberg, as a document from 1279 says, was buried in the church of Imbach has not been confirmed to this day.

The nuns' property was placed under the protection of Pope Gregory X in 1272 and committed to the rule of St. Augustine . The property was enlarged again and again in the course of the Middle Ages and grew considerably into a profitable manor. The majority of the monastery property comes from various donations. The monastery in the Kremstal was also honored again and again by the then sovereigns during the 13th century. King Ottokar granted the Dominican women lower jurisdiction over their subjects in 1272 and allowed them to import goods for their personal needs toll-free.

The monastery was owned by the monastery until it was abolished as part of Josephinism in 1782. After the dissolution, the monastery was owned by the Religionsfonds until 1811. Subsequently, the area experienced numerous changes of ownership and sales. In 1855 the place was affected by a flood and in 1865 by a fire.
