Kleinmünchen is a former district of Linz . It was a separate municipality until it was incorporated into Linz in 1923 and a district from 1957–2013.
The cadastral community of the same name still exists .
geography
The cadastral community of Kleinmünchen is located in the south of the Upper Austrian capital Linz and borders the cadastral community Waldegg in the north, the cadastral community St. Peter in the east, the cadastral community Ebelsberg in the south and the neighboring cities of Traun and Leonding in the west .
The cadastral community includes the statistical districts of Kleinmünchen-Auwiesen , Neue Heimat and the southern part of the districts of Bindermichl-Keferfeld and Spallerhof . Before the reorganization of the Linz statistical districts in 2014, it included Kleinmünchen, Scharlinz, Neue Welt, Neue Heimat, Bergern, Wegscheid and Schörgenhub.
Expansion of the district area
The largest extension of the district from east to west is around 4.6 km, from north to south around 3.3 km. The total area of all statistical districts of the Kleinmünchen district is 12.72 km².
Important rivers and bodies of water
Kleinmünchen is bordered in the south by the river Traun . Schörgenhub and Kleinmünchen are traversed by the Jauckerbach (upper water canal of the Kleinmünchen power plant). Partly piped under the streets, a small part of the former Linz Textil works sewer , starting at the Traun weir in the Schörgenhub area, flows through the district and flows into the underwater area just below the Kleinmünchen power plant.
history
A large part of Kleinmünchen originally belonged to a rich man by the name of Otto ze Munichen (Otto from Munich ). He donated his property to the Quirinus church located in this area , and over time the name Quirin changed via Kyrein to Klein .
Kleinmünchen in the 19th century
In the 19th century, Kleinmünchen still consisted of the four localities Kleinmünchen, Scharlinz , Bergern and Sankt Martin . However, Sankt Martin was spun off into the municipality of Traun in 1876 . In 1834 a total of 765 people lived in 102 houses with 167 people living in the community of Kleinmünchen. At that time, the village of Kleinmünchen consisted of 63 houses, mostly standing together, while the northern part of Scharlinz consisted of a closed settlement with 12 houses. In 1834 Bergern had seven houses scattered about, and Sankt Martin had 20 houses, some of which were closed and some were scattered along the Traun. The population lived mainly from agriculture or hired themselves as day laborers. The most important company at that time was a cotton and cloth printing company with 15 workers. In 1830 a cotton spinning factory with 30 spinning chairs was also built, employing 150 to 200 workers. Eight grinding mills were operated on the Traun .
Kleinmünchen in the 20th century
Kleinmünchen was incorporated into Linz in 1923. During the Second World War , the Linz III subcamp was located in Kleinmünchen from May 1944 to May 5, 1945 , a subcamp of the Mauthausen concentration camp , in which over 5000 concentration camp inmates were used for forced labor in steel and tank production and for various construction work . In 1990, the Franzosenhausweg business park was built in the southwest of the district. Since 1951 a tram line has connected the areas Schörgenhub, Kleinmünchen, Scharlinz and Neue Welt with the northern parts of the city, since 2002 with Ebelsberg and since summer 2005 with SolarCity Linz .
Surname
The earliest written document is from 1290 and is "sancti Quirini in Municheyn" ( St. Quirinus in Munich). The word goes back to old high German munih , which means monk. The name is therefore to be understood as With the monks . The addition of the saint served to distinguish it from Mönchgraben in Traun-Enns-Riedelland (then called Münichen ).
religion
A church in Kleinmünchen is mentioned for the first time in 1290, in a letter of indulgence sent by Pope Nicholas IV to the church in Leonding , which also includes the “sancti Quirini in Municheyn” branch. Archaeological excavations from 1982 brought to light that this church was already the third at this point and that the history of Kleinmünchen goes back to the 10th century. From 1784 the St. Florian Monastery sent clergymen to Kleinmünchen. Finally, Kleinmünchen was appointed a branch of Ebelsberg and in 1878 Josef Denk was appointed parish curator of Kleinmünchen.
Kleinmünchen was characterized by increasing industrialization and Denk recognized the need for a new, larger church and founded a church building association in 1889 . Just five years later - Kleinmünchen had been its own parish for three years - the foundation stone for the new church was brought from Jerusalem on the Mount of Olives . The foundation stone was laid on August 20, 1905 and the celebration of the extension of the tower cross took place on March 18, 1906 . On July 22, 1906, the bells were consecrated by Provost Josef Sailer from St. Florian Monastery and rang for the first time in the afternoon. On August 19, 1906, Bishop Franz Maria Doppelbauer consecrated the new church and celebrated the first Holy Mass .
During the First World War, the church had to deliver its bells, as well as the copper roof and the prospect pipes , which contained 17 kilograms of tin. During the Second World War, the church was again stripped of its bells. On December 20, 1944, the church was badly damaged by an aerial bomb , which among other things collapsed half of the presbytery vault.
The Protestant Johanneskirche was built in 1965.

Kleinmünchen has a long tradition of weaving and spinning. For a long time, until 1985, the terminus of the Linz tram was called Spinnereistraße. In 1840 the Cotton Fabrika was granted state factory authorization, and in 1871 it was converted into a public limited company. Today Linz Textil is located in Kleinmünchen, and the production of viscose yarn is to be discontinued here by May 2018 . "Part of the production will be relocated to the Croatian subsidiary Predionica Klanjec ."
