Kreuzberg is a place in Salzachtal (Ennspongau) in the Province of Salzburg as well as the village of the township Bischofshofen , in the district of Sankt Johann (Pongau) .

geography

The place is located 9 kilometers north of St. Johann , directly northeast above the town of Bischofshofen .

The scattered Kreuzberg houses are located at the foot of the Buchberg  ( 1154  m above sea level ), a foothill of the Hochgründeck massif of the Fritztal mountains . They are distributed from the valley floodplain north of Bischofshofen at around 540  m above sea level. A. Height up to the north-western valley shoulder of the Buchberg to around 760  m above sea level. A.

The village comprises around 70 buildings with a good 250 inhabitants, mainly in the Lehen area and in Sankt Rupert (mission house) .

The local area extends from the right bank of the Salzach to the Sinnhubschlössl peninsula at the confluence of the Fritzbach for about 4½ kilometers up to just below the Buchberg summit. In the valley, this also includes the Maximiliansiedlung allotment garden and the leisure area.

History, infrastructure and sights

There is already evidence of prehistoric settlement on the Sinnhubschlössl , a mining settlement that is now a natural monument, and the probably contemporary mining of copper on the Buchberg is also proven. The actual Kreuzberg that follows , the Ice Age valley terrace between the Salzach and Fritzbach, is also a natural monument. This is where the Groß Kreutzberg farm, which was now abandoned, stood .

As early as 1200 (documented in 1370) the Buchbergkirche was hll. Primus and Felizian erected on the valley shoulder. Remnants of a medieval excavation are preserved in fiefdoms .

1620 the place is named with 17 houses. The Urhöfe are Großmair, Mairhof, Mittermair, Neumair , all of them Meierhöfe of the Kastenhof of the Chiemsee bishops in Bischofshofen, as well as Moos (Kreuzberg 12) and Platten (Kreuzberg 4).

Originally the whole area with Winkl, Alpfahrt and Kreuzberg belonged to the parish of Werfen , only with the creation of the local communities in 1848/50 did the tax community Winkl come to Bischofshofen.

The Giselabahn (Salzburg-Tiroler-Bahn) and the Kronprinz-Rudolf-Bahn (today's Ennstalbahn towards Radstadt) were built by 1875 . For this purpose, a tunnel was dug under Kreuzberg for both railways, for the first the 327 m long Rupertus tunnel under the Kreuzberg , for the second the 711 m long Kreuzberg tunnel under today's St. Rupert. The two railways already run over the Salzach with two bridges of their own, and the Ennstalbahn turns into the Fritztal in the tunnel. Between the two of them, an allotment garden settlement, the Maximiliansiedlung , was built in the Bischofshofener Au, followed by today's recreational area Bischofshofen with a soccer field, beach volleyball court, children's play area, spacious playgrounds and the outdoor pool.

In 1904 the Steyler missionaries settled at the old Klein Kreutzberg homestead and founded the St. Rupert mission house with the mission church (Kreuzbergkirche) and today's grammar school.

In 1959, the last mining on the Buchberg was stopped.

In 1979 the Tauern motorway  (A10) was completed with the construction lot through the Fritztal to Eben. By 1986, the Pinzgauer Straße  (B 311) was then pulled up as a bypass Bischofshofen via Buchberg and Kreuzberg, and the Bischofshofen junction was created near Ellmauthal on the other side of the Fritztal (today the Pongau junction ) . When the former federal roads were handed over to the state administration in 2002, the section of the B311 became an unspecified part of the A10 ( Bischofshofen feeder , unofficially also called A10a), so it remained under the administration of Asfinag . The connection to the Hochkönig Straße  (B164) down in the valley south of Bischofshofen has since been called the Bischofshofen junction . As a result, the Bischofshofen-Nord junction was expanded as a half-connection towards the junction, which is now called St. Rupert . In the course of this, the road from the beginning of Katschbergstraße  (B 99, from Salzachtal Straße  B159 through Fritztal) up, the Kreuzberg Güterweg , the only access to Kreuzberg, was expanded as a motorway feeder for the first 5 kilometers. The junction is only of local importance.

Via Kreuzberg, the St. Rupert pilgrimage route leads from the Hochgründeck summit and the Heinrich-Kiener-Haus with the St. Vinzenz Friedenskirche via the small Hörndl chapel on the Buchberg summit into the valley to the St. Rupert mission house and to Bischofshofen (route 3, stage 17).
The Tauern Cycle Path passes in the valley floor .

The existing mining remains and geotopes in the area should be made tangible as part of the planned Ore of the Alps Geopark .
