The Kaiserbrunnen is a fountain near Unterach am Attersee in the Salzkammergut . It is already in the municipality of Sankt Gilgen , Land Salzburg .
location
The Kaiserbrunnen is a natural spring at the foot of the Ackerschneid , the north-eastern slope of the Schafberg at the southern end of the Attersee. It is located between the towns of Unterach and Burgbachau , on the Seeleitenstraße (B152), which runs here directly between the lake and the rock faces.
history
The source is likely to have been used in prehistoric times. In the 1870s, a hoard was made here near the construction of the adjacent quarry . It dates from the early Roman period of the 1st century AD (Roman period in Austria 15–487 AD), but is still of Celtic origin (late La Tène period , post- Hallstatt ). It is about various iron and ceramic farm implements. The landfill conditions at that time are unclear.
In 1879, the fountain was redesigned by the Unterach Beautification Association and dedicated to the imperial couple Franz Josef and Elisabeth for their silver wedding.
Today the place is primarily known among divers because it offers a good starting point.
Description of the hoard
The find from the Kaiserbrunnen includes:
- an iron multi-link boiler hook with a total length of 155 cm
- an iron long- handled ladle
- two iron hook-shaped devices
- an iron chisel
- an iron scythe blade with a cutting length of 87 cm
- two iron plowshares
- an iron spoon bit
- Various ceramic shards from smaller and larger vessels, bowls and bottles, some simply decorated
The find also included a Roman bronze figurine that allows it to be dated back to Roman times. This is lost. The find was acquired by Matthäus Much , the discoverer of the Mondsee and Atterseer pile dwellings. This collection has been in today's Institute for Prehistory and Historical Archeology at the University of Vienna since 1912 .
The find is an important proof of the Celtic-Roman settlement continuity in the area and the development of the more remote locations at the time. The Roman road along the east bank of the Attersee to Bad Ischl near Weißenbach is well occupied.
Description of the well
The fountain has a simple stone setting. Above the mouth hole is the memorial plaque for the imperial couple from 1879. Covered benches have been erected next to the fountain. There is a memorial plaque for Karl Ritter von Heidler Egeregg , kk general staff doctor and honorary citizen of Unterach.
