History, infrastructure and sights

The place Pogindorf was first mentioned in the year 809, when on April 4th an Adalant donated some property to the Mondsee Monastery . Kirchham is also old as a ham town and the 'place by the church'. In 955 the places became part of the Diocese of Passau , and from 1138 they were under Mattsee Monastery . In 1143 they became the parish seat (in 1438 Frankenmarkt , in 1813 in Straßwalchen , again in a parish in 1891). Today's parish church of St. Maximilian is a late Gothic building, redesigned in baroque style and repaired after the fire in 1803. It is a listed building . A village school had existed here since 1767.

From the late Middle Ages onwards, the place was an important border town from the Duchy of Austria to the Archbishopric of Salzburg on the road from Vienna via Linz to Salzburg, to the west the moat was built as a border wall around 1437 . It only lost its importance with the takeover of the Innkreis in 1799, when the border to Salzburg shifted briefly in the direction of Straßwalchen - in 1803 the archbishopric was abolished and Austria was attached to the Enns . The church itself stood exactly on the historical border between Hausruck and Innviertel, even the cemetery was administratively divided.

When the local tax communities were combined when the local communities were created in 1848/49 , the community was named after the parish village, which was still more important at the time, and made part of the Hausruckviertel.

In 1860 the Pöndorf stop on the Frankenmarkt – Salzburg line of the Kaiserin-Elisabeth-Bahn was opened near Volkerding .

The place is still important as a local traffic junction: To the south today's B1 passes  Wiener Straße , through the place the L1282 Pöndorfer Straße branches off to the  northwest, which meets the L508  Kobernaußer Straße 6½ km further at Höcken . This route over Schneegattern - Friedburg was once important to avoid the Salzburg customs, today you drive over the better developed Straßwalchen .
