history
The oldest place in the municipality is Teichstätt ( Tichsteti , first mentioned in 776). The community name Lengau is not mentioned for the first time until the 19th century, but is probably old due to existing family names, and could become ahd. * Bi zuo demo langin / lengin gouue 'in the elongated Gau (ort)' or ahd. * Bi zuo dero langin / Lengin OHDP , in the elongated Au are '.
The brothers Konrad and Hartneid Kuchler acquired the dominion of Friedburg from the Bamberg monastery in 1377 . The castle was destroyed in the War of the Spanish Succession (18th century).
Since the founding of the Duchy of Baiern (around 7th century) the area was Bavarian until 1779. With the Peace of Teschen , the Innviertel (then Innbaiern ) became part of Austria. During the Napoleonic Wars briefly Bavarian again, the Innviertel and thus Lengau has belonged to Austria ob der Enns since 1814 .
From the 19th century onwards, the political municipality of Lengau comprised the 3 main towns of Lengau, Friedburg and Schneegattern, as well as other villages such as Teichstätt ( Teichstätt Castle , nature reserve) and Heiligenstatt with a well-known pilgrimage church. Because of the three former parishes, Lengau now also has three parish offices (Schneegattern as Friedburg's branch). In 1931 the village of Friedburg was raised to the market again; this happened for the first time in 1439, but was forgotten.
