Franzensdorf is a village and a cadastral municipality in the municipality of Groß-Enzersdorf in the Gänserndorf district in Lower Austria. Franzensdorf was called Kimmerleinsdorf until 1835 and was rebuilt south of the old village that was destroyed by the Danube flood in 1830 .
geography
Franzensdorf is located 20 km east of Vienna city center on the Marchfeld .
Neighboring towns are Glinzendorf in the north, Leopoldsdorf in Marchfelde in the northeast, Breitstetten in the east, Andlersdorf in the southeast, Matzneusiedl in the south, Probstdorf in the southwest, Wittau and Neu-Oberhausen in the west and Rutzendorf in the northwest.
history
The first mention of Kimmerleinsdorf took place 1308. Kimmerleinsdorf was Pfarrdorf for Andlersdorf and Rutzendorf. In the 1820s the village consisted of 62 houses. The inhabitants lived mostly from agriculture; In Kimmerleinsdorf there was one double, 32 full, two half, three quarter and eight small houses.
On February 28, 1830, drift ice formed an ice rush near Stadlau during a winter flood of the Danube, which was still unregulated at the time , and it broke on the night of March 1. The water masses made their way from Leopoldau via Breitenlee , Markgrafneusiedl , Großhofen , Glinzendorf, Rutzendorf, Kimmerleinsdorf, Breitstetten, Haringsee , Straudorf and Wagram on the Danube over the Marchfeld and flowed back into the river bed of the Danube at Stopfenreuth . Since the flood of ice did not reach Kimmerleinsdorf until the early hours of the morning, most of the residents were able to save their lives; There was no time left to salvage their belongings. Since almost all the houses in Kimmerleinsdorf - as is customary in Marchfeld - were made of mud bricks , they only withstood the wet for a short time and collapsed. The water masses reached a height of approx. 2.80 m and stood in the destroyed village in a slight depression until May. 58 of the 62 houses had collapsed, twelve residents had died in the floods or their collapsing houses. Sixty horses, 150 cattle and 250 sheep drowned in livestock. The church, the rectory, the schoolhouse, the inn, houses 25 and 44 as well as the bulk box of house 35 have been preserved.
With strong support from Emperor Franz I , Kimmerleinsdorf was rebuilt from August 1830. In order to provide better protection against floods, the village was relocated from the valley to the south. The residents of the southern row of the village kept their land and built their new houses in the rear. The residents of the northern row were given new plots south of the old village. Only the church and the cemetery, house number 44 - the owner of which refused to convert his house into the new village - and the dump box of house number 35 remained in their old place. The load-bearing walls of the new houses were now built from fired bricks. Reconstruction was completed in 1832, and in the same year the residents asked Emperor Franz I to rename the village Franzensdorf . After the emperor's death, the request was granted in 1835 by his successor Ferdinand I. The church was so badly damaged by the floods that it had to be rebuilt. This was laid out in the middle of the new village from 1837 and consecrated in 1842. The Radl Chapel was later built on the site of the old church. On the initiative of Mayor Leopold Radl, the old weir built for flood protection was dismantled in 1913 and new fields and paths were divided up in 1914. On September 14, 1930, a monument to the ice rush was unveiled.
Towards the end of the Second World War in 1944, Hungarian Jews were used as slave labor in the agricultural sector during the summer months .
In the course of the creation of Greater Vienna , the Floridsdorf-Umgebung district was dissolved on October 15, 1938 and all municipalities, including Franzensdorf, were incorporated into Vienna. In 1954 Franzensdorf became an independent municipality again. In 1972 it was incorporated into Groß-Enzersdorf .
