The Frankenberg is located on the northern edge of the Linzer Feld above the Danube, 14 kilometers southeast of the city center of Linz , 13 kilometers west of Perg , and east above St. Georgen an der Gusen . It culminates in the Kirchberg  ( 351  m above sea level ). The ridge is one of the southern Mühlviertel regions . It is bordered to the west by the valley of the Gusen and north by the Derntgraben near St. Georgen - this is where the Staffelberg lies, around which the Gusen makes a noose. To the northwest, the altitude leads over into the Kruckenberg . To the east, the Rieder Bach in the Wienergraben forms the border to the Mauthausner Berg, which is then already on the edge of the Machland .

The scattered settlement of Frankenberg on the mountain comprises around 70 buildings with 280 inhabitants. The Langenberg local area, 50 buildings with almost 200 inhabitants, mainly includes the hamlet of Kirchberg and the hamlet of Hart , and a few houses on Staffelberg, where the Frankenberg area extends in a narrow strip to the Gusen (local locations Gillhof and Derntl ). The easternmost part falls in the municipality of Rieder, where another 20 buildings with almost 70 inhabitants form a separate village.

History, infrastructure and sights

Spielberg , GM Vischer 1672; in the back the villages of Guʃn and Langenʃtain , on the left above the ruins of Frankenberg

The remains of the church of St. Johannes Baptistae on the Frankenberg are today part of a peasant war memorial.

The early historical settlement is secured by the Celtic fortifications on the Kirchberg and scattered finds from Hallstatt and Latène-era pottery shards.

The name Frankenberg (1171 Francheperge ) should be seen literally and be an early settlement on the Slavic-Avar border. The church on Frankenberg , once consecrated to St. Johannes Babtistae and mentioned in a document in 1234, probably dates back to the 8th century and replaced the earlier fortifications.

Nothing is known about a castle on the Frankenberg, such as the one Georg Matthäus Vischer depicts in 1672. A fortified church will have stood on the Kirchberg , but it was already quite dilapidated in the 17th century. At Whitsun 1636 in the Thirty Years' War , the Protestant preacher Martin Aichinger vulgo Laimbauer and his supporters of the Machland peasant movement (around 300 men, women and children) were surrounded by the Obderennsian commander Count Kaspar von Starhemberg and all of them killed. This event is known as the Battle of the Frankenberg , where Aichinger and a few others were captured, transferred to Linz and executed. The hamlet of Kirchberg and the church were also completely destroyed. This church ruin in Frankenberg was transformed into a memorial to the peasant wars in 1978 (Frankenberg peasant war memorial ) .

At the beginning of the 19th century, the hamlet of Kirchberg appeared on the Frankenbergfeld with five larger farmsteads, as well as - west to east - Scheidlbergergut  ( No. 37), Stacherlgut and Mayrhaus (today Stacherlsiedlung), Fuchsengut  ( No. 32), Andregütl  ( No. 28) , Obernöstergütl  (Hnr. 30) Steinmaislgut (ex. Adr) Brunnbauergut  (Hnr. 27) Franzlgut and Bauergut  (Hnr. 26, 24) sub Öster house (deviated) Pirchbaurngut (now part of a long stone), Gaubitsbauer  (Hnr. 41), Pfaffenlehnergütl and Scherzergütl  (each with their own address, near Wienergraben), Brunnbauergut  ( No. 28), and the Naglbauer  ( No. 98/99) as the only farmstead in what is now the Rieder part. To the north of the Derntfeld are Gillbauer and Gillhofpeter (Gillhofstrasse 28, 30), Derntlgut  (Hnr. 27) and Reitlbaurngut  (Hnr. 16), and five more farms on Hartfeld . These beautiful squares still exist today.

The Frankenberg itself is good granite ( Mauthausner granite ) , which is mined at the foot between Gusen and Langenberg ( Dirnbergerbruch from 1840, today Poschacher ). This dismantling was then the reason to set up the Gusen concentration camp there, in which around 45,000 people died between 1940 and 1945.

Today Frankenberg is considered beautiful walking mountain with good view over the eastern foothills of the Alps to the pros and Kalkhochalpen , and some themed trails connect the historic sites in and around the mountain (Pfarrweg, commemorative, Marktweg, Planet) .
