The Leopoldskroner Moos , also called Leopoldskron-Moos , is a sparsely populated district of Salzburg , which got its name from that of the Leopoldskron Palace built under Prince Archbishop Firmian . The area of ​​the district is largely identical to the Leopoldskroner Moos landscape protection area ( LSG 47 ).

The formerly independent municipality Leopoldskron-Moos was incorporated into the city of Salzburg in 1939. Today around 2500 people live in the district.

geography

Today, the Leopoldskroner Moos district is essentially a 4 km long and 80 m wide strip of building land on both sides of the street to the right and left of Moosstraße, which emerged from a late baroque Moorhufensiedlung. In the south, this built-up area extends to the Tauern motorway and thus to today's city limits. In the north, the district borders on the district of Riedenburg (Riedenburg-St.Paul), whereby the logical boundary of the settlement area is the undeveloped green space around Bertihof (Schiffmannshof, located next to Firmianstrasse). The settlement area is surrounded on both sides by the extensive preserved moss meadows of the Leopoldskron Moor, whose moor character is increasingly disappearing due to drying out.

The boundaries of the actual district as well as the 6.56 km² landscape protection area are west of Moosstraße and the adjacent green space is the motorway in the southeast and the river Glan in the east . Beyond the Glan (from north to south) lie the districts of Maxglan and Maxglan West and the municipality of Wals-Siezenheim . To the east of Moosstrasse and the green space, the settlement areas of the Gneiss district in the northeast and Gneiss South in the east delimit the district and the landscape protection area. In the south, the Leopoldskron-Moos district borders the municipality of Grödig , although a small part of the landscape protection area of ​​around 37  hectares extends beyond the urban area and is located in this municipality. The area around the central Moosstrasse and the Hammerauser Siedlung in the south-west and the built-up area in the north of the district are cut out from the area of ​​the landscape protection area.

Bog and landscape protection area Leopoldskroner Moos

In the western half of the landscape protection area (between Glan and Moosstraße) in May 2016. The forest is part of today's Hammerauer Moor nature reserve .

The moor south of Mönchsberg and Rainberg was formerly called Wildmoos , Filzmoos (Viltzmoos) or Untersberger Moos and was partially drained in parts of the Riedenburg moor near the city under Prince Archbishop Wolf Dietrich von Raitenau after 1598. Other noteworthy parts were only drained from the 18th century and then gradually cultivated. On a smaller fish pond formed by the decomposition of peat was formed, was Archbishop Leopold Anton von Firmian a summer residence for his family build. At that time, the Prince Archbishop gradually bought up all of the wild moss for his noble family (especially for his nephew Laktanz and his family). As a result, the name Leopoldskroner Moos gradually became established after the archbishop's first name .

The Leopoldskroner Moos extends to the foot of the Untersberg . A lot of peat was once extracted in the moss and it is still extracted on a small scale for spa purposes. Centuries ago, the moor was discredited as unhealthy and pathogenic, which was also the reason that not only this area, but also the moor areas in the north of Salzburg in the current districts of Itzling and Schallmoos were drained. Today the landscape is primarily a residential suburb and recreational area for people.

The still existing Hammerauer Moor north of Hammerauerstraße, almost 32 hectares in size, has been designated as a nature reserve ( NSG 7 ) since 1983 and is generally not accessible. The various moorland meadows that are scattered about are also very valuable in terms of nature conservation. Sufficient and constant high humidity is a prerequisite for maintaining and securing the moorland.

The parish church Maria Hilf

Parish church Maria Hilf

After more and more farmers had settled along the Moosstrasse in the Leopoldskroner Moor in the 19th century and eventually 700 people settled here, the Möslers also wanted at least their own modest chapel. Two patrons came to the aid of the Leopoldskron-Moosern and essentially financed today's church building: Maria Robinig von Rottenfeld and the well-known patroness, Emperor's widow Karoline Auguste von Bayern . A farmer's wife donated the building site across from Marienbad, so that construction of the church could begin in 1853. Otto Laschensky and Jacob Götz drew up the building plans for the church in the historicizing neo-Romanesque style. In 1858 the Maria Hilf Church in Leopoldskron was inaugurated. Worth mentioning is the newer Wasenkreuz designed by Margarete Winkler , which is reminiscent of work in the moor.

In the same year the Leopoldskron-Moos cemetery was inaugurated.

The settlement area of ​​the Leopoldskroner Moos and its parts

Today the dead straight, 5.35 kilometer long Moosstrasse leads through the moss, which extends straight from the Rainbergfuß to the entrance of the Glanegg castle area. This road was laid out in parts under Archbishop Firmian. It was extended and slightly extended around 1770 after the Sigmundstore was built in the northernmost part. It was not until 1805–1807 that it was expanded south of Firmianstrasse to a passable road (in the form of an avenue initially filled with Italian poplars). With the development, the settlement of the landscape began in the form of a late baroque Moorhufensiedlung. The first “Mooshäuser” residential buildings were built around 1800 south of Firmianstrasse. The first mud bath, Marienbad, was built here in 1828, and the schoolhouse in 1859. A more intensive agriculture was only practiced in this landscape area after the straightening of the Glan in the moorland (it took place around 1938–1947) and the associated large-scale drainage possibilities. Today the following main trenches can be found here: the Fiebingergraben in the north (often incorrectly called Fiebigergraben), the Schwarzgraben with its western branch (Kleiner Schwarzgraben) and the short Hammerauergraben. The Wildmoosgraben runs in the far east.

Primary school lessons were held in various private houses (in the closest area of ​​today's Riedenburg) since 1780, until the school building in Leopoldskroner Moos was built in 1859. In 1900 the elementary school was already divided into three classes. In 1901 the Leopoldskroner-Moos volunteer fire brigade was founded here. In 1931, the Leopoldskroner Moos settlement area received its own water pipe.

In 1812 the entire village of Leopoldskroner-Moos consisted of 64 scattered small houses, mostly made entirely of wood. Significantly less than half of them lived along Moosstrasse.

In 1845 there were already 200 "colonists" living here in the Leopoldskroner-Moos landscape, more than 100 houses, an estimated half of them on Moosstrasse.

In 1880 there were already 762 residents here (the Moorhufensiedlung (street village) along Moosstrasse itself consisted of 113 houses with 484 residents).

In 1910, 1133 people lived here in 178 houses.

Today the settlement area on Moosstrasse is divided into four areas.

Obermoos

  • Teaching building yard : Here in the south, near the Tauern motorway, the teaching building yard is located. The Salzburg Festival has been a summer guest at this location since 1992 : since then, rehearsals and performances have taken place at this training location for the construction industry. The educational building yard thus became a center for the encounter between technical training and culture, an idea that the former artistic director of the festival Dr. Gerard Mortier co-initiated. The teaching yard consists of a long wing for the subjects theory, teaching and administration and a parallel two-storey connecting and distribution corridor with attached factory halls. The main wing on the moss street side consists of the entrance hall, a large workshop and a workshop.
  • The Karls-Moosbad : In Obermoos a mud bath was also built around 1850: the Karls-Moosbad (formerly Hafner). So far nothing more could be learned about the history of this bath. The bath was no longer in use after the First World War .

Hammerauersiedlung

It is a new settlement core - located immediately south of today's Hammerauer Moor nature reserve, which was created between 1965 and 1975 (contrary to important urban planning principles) in the area around today's Adalbert-Stifter-Straße.

Mittermoos

The Mittermoos extends in the south to Hammerauerstrasse and in the north to the church cemetery. The parish church is also located here and Marienbad opposite.

  • Marienbad : In 1828 the city physician Dr. Oberlechner has a bath that was housed in the Mittermoos inn. In 1850, Leopold Dragga bought the Mittermoos guest house and bathing house . He had this house demolished and built a new, mostly wooden guest house and bath house in the Swiss style that was popular at the time. It was opened in 1855 under the name Marienbad (located opposite the Marienkirche). It had 24 rooms, 20 cabinets, 12 bathrooms (with wooden tubs) and a dining room. A small park and a farm building belonged to this bath. Today the American International School Salzburg  (AISS) is housed here.

Under moss

  • Ludwigsbad : The well-known surgeon Dr. Anton Fiebinger built a second spa bath here (after the Mittermoos bath) in 1841, which he named after the Bavarian King King Ludwig Bath. In 1915 the bathing establishment was expanded to double its size. There were mud, mud, spruce needle and brine baths for spa purposes. The bath was in operation until around 1970. Until 2006 the well-known inn of the same name was located here, which is now used as the residential building "Wohnen im König Ludwig".

Leopoldskronweihersiedlung

The settlement between Zwieselweg in the south and Firmianstraße in the north has a size of around 20 hectares and an estimated population of around 800. Starting from a small settlement core on Firmianstraße, which was built during the time of the monarchy, and a building on Lichtensteinstraße in the interwar period, this settlement developed to today's size after the Second World War .
