Plain-Kemating is a place consisting of around 30 buildings in the north of the Austrian state of Salzburg and, as Kemating, is a district of the municipality of Bergheim in the Salzburg-Umgebung district and at the same time part of the Bergheim town of Plain . An old pilgrimage route leads through Kemating from the city of Salzburg to Maria Plain .

Naming

The name Kemating goes back to the Latin word caminata = 'provided with a fireplace', which was also adopted into Old High German as chemenate . It means the room of a house that is provided with a fireplace, i.e. can be heated. The -ing as part of Baiuvian place names expresses that the designated place is the place of residence, the whereabouts of one or more people. The place name is therefore evidence from the early Middle Ages that there was already a settlement at this point.

The addition Plain comes from the naming of the Plainberg on which the settlement is located. It should also serve as a geographical specification, especially since the place name Kemating can also be found in other areas of the country.

history

The place of today's Kemating was already inhabited in prehistory and ancient times. The finds of a Neolithic hammer and foundations of a Roman villa from the 3rd century AD testify to this.

The small town, at that time still a few farmsteads, was located on the then important pilgrimage route from the city of Salzburg to Maria Plain from the 17th century. In 1652 the miraculous image of Maria Plain from Bavaria was shown in a chapel (today the original chapel). From the 1670s construction activity began, the pilgrimage church and monastery were built by the Salzburg prince archbishops. In 1705 the pilgrim path, also known as the Rosary Path , was established from today's Elisabeth-Vorstadt , which leads through Kemating.

Immediately before and during the early Second World War, the former Reichsautobahn was built below the town (opened in 1941). Today the location has grown into a small suburban settlement, in which, however, grassland farming is still practiced. The Kemating area is entirely a protected landscape area .

Attractions

The pilgrimage route from Salzburg to Maria Plain , which dates back to the Baroque period, consists of a series of 15 wayside shrines that are listed as historical monuments and contain quotations from the rosary . Four of them are in Kemating, namely the first four of the five glorious mysteries (gloriae mysteria) for the resurrection of Christ : stations XI ( "He rose from the dead" ), XII ( "He ascended to heaven" ), XIII ( Who sent us the Holy Spirit” ) and XIV ( “Who took you, O virgin, into heaven” ). Like the entire row of columns, the wayside shrines are made of Salzburg conglomerate ( Nagelfluh ) and have recently been restored. The original pictures are missing and have been replaced by replicas.
