Langholzfeld is one of the five districts of the Upper Austrian municipality of Pasching . With 3540 inhabitants (as of 2011), more than half of Pasching's inhabitants live in this district.

location

Langholzfeld is located in the southeast of the municipality. While Pasching's main town is rural, Langholzfeld with Leonding and Traun belong to the relatively densely built-up suburbs southwest of the provincial capital Linz .

In the north and east, Langholzfeld borders on Leonding, in the south the B1 Wiener Straße forms the border with Traun . The demarcation to the western district of Wagram is not precisely defined, mostly the B139 Kremstal road is seen as a "natural boundary".

history

From the Franziszeischen cadastre it can be seen that the district was still heavily forested at the beginning of the 19th century. Today's "recreational forest" was about four times as large. Its eastern border was today's Prinz-Eugen-Strasse, in the north it reached to today's Kirchengasse.

Pasching coat of arms with the horse-drawn train

The horse-drawn railway Budweis – Linz – Gmunden ran through the district. An old guard house on Stifterstrasse reminds of this, and the railway is also reflected as a symbol in Pasching's coat of arms.

Until the Second World War , Langholzfeld was not built on, apart from a few farmhouses. The district was mostly settled by expellees (from Batschka , Banat , Transylvania , Bohemia and Moravia ) between 1950 and 1965 . Since then the population has increased sharply. Meanwhile many houses of the ethnic Germans are empty or are inhabited by migrants from Turkey and Southeast Europe. The radio play of the same name by the author Andreas Jungwirth, who grew up in Langholzfeld, is dedicated to the tension between old and new residents and their longings .

economy

A large part of the built-up area is taken up by single-family houses, less often by apartment blocks. Some businesses have settled on the two main streets.

traffic

Langholzfeld can be reached via B1 Wiener Straße and B139 Kremstal Straße on the road. With the exception of these two streets, the entire local area is a no-driving zone with speed restrictions.

The district is connected to local public transport in the south by bus lines 43, 70 and 72 and in the north and west by tram lines 3 and 4 operated by Linz AG . In addition, the bus line 625 of the Wilhelm Welser Verkehrsbetriebe Traun connects Langholzfeld with other parts of Pasching.
