coat of arms

The coat of arms symbolically shows the history and the economic importance of the present. Turks and other enemies plundered and pillaged Lower Austria time and again, including Kottingbrunn. In addition to the swords, the red and gold flames also indicate this. At the same time, however, the fire, together with the gearwheel, creates a connection to the current iron and metal industry. The vine leaves also embody an economic component of the Kottingbrunn area. The coat of arms was awarded on July 2, 1974.

history

Kottingbrunn is an ancient settlement area. Finds from the 3rd century BC BC and the 4th century AD prove this. The place name Kottingbrunn is very likely to be traced back to the Kotiner (Roman: Cotini ). In the Blätter für Heimatkunde Göhlert Kottingbrunn leads back to the Celtic “cot” (forest) and “bryn” (hill).

At the time of the Great Migration, the population changed very quickly, until finally, under the Babenbergs, the previously resident Slavic population was assimilated by the immigrant Bavarians and Franks. It can be assumed that the Celtic place name eventually became a Bavarian-German Kottingbrunn. The Babenbergers pushed the border further and further east and secured it by building rock and moated castles. This is how the Kottingbrunn moated castle was created. An Anselmus de Prunne is mentioned in a document in 1114.

The heavily fortified moated castle survived the first Turkish siege (1529), but in 1683 the whole place and the castle were devastated by the Turks. The reconstruction was carried out by Count Lamberg in its present form as a hunting lodge.

On July 30, 1896, a 2,800 meter long horse racing track was opened in the park of the palace acquired for this purpose by the Jockey Club for Austria . The Renn-Verein-Kottingbrunn (RVK) had been set up to operate it .

Kottingbrunn and racecourse (around 1900)

The horse racing track , for the opening races of which 130 horses had already been registered, became very important for flat and obstacle races and after just a few years was one of the most beautiful and best racing courses on the continent . In 1897, at the instigation of the Jockey Club for Austria in Vienna , the construction of a branch line leading from the nearby route of the southern railway to not far from the main portal of the racing area (a normal-gauge small railway operated with steam ) began. Prior to commissioning of these on the banks of Wiener Neustadt channel ending branch line extended to a platform Southern Railway Station Kottingbrunn was adapted for arrival and departure of the crowds.

On June 10, 1915, there was a fire in the facility (due to improperly executed plumbing work), which cremated the two-storey wooden main grandstand including the court box and the adjacent buildings. Stables and farm buildings were spared the fire. Since the planned reconstruction of the destroyed buildings was not carried out, the operation of the Kottingbrunn racing course came to an end on July 30, 1914 with the season (shortened by the beginning of the war). However, the Kottingbrunn stud continued to exist on the property. In 1927 the concession for the operation of the branch line was declared expired.

After the Second World War, reconstruction also began in Kottingbrunn. On April 11, 1955, an Austrian delegation traveled from Kottingbrunn Airport to Moscow and returned here on April 15 with the completed draft of the State Treaty .
