Lichtenegg is a district and a cadastral municipality in the west of the city of Wels . Lichtenegg was a separate community until it was incorporated into Wels in 1938. The northern parts of the Lichtenegg cadastral community are now counted as part of the Vogelweide district . With more than 14,000 inhabitants, Lichtenegg is the second largest district of Wels.
Districts and settlements
Lichtenegg is now divided into the districts and settlements of Au, Berg, Bernhardin, Brandln, Eben, Lichtenegg, Noitzmühle, Rosenau, Trausenegg and Waidhausen.
history
Lichtenegg became important as the place of residence of the daughter of Emperor Franz Joseph Marie Valerie , who lived with her husband Franz Salvator from Austria-Tuscany until 1897 at Lichtenegg Castle . The “Sissi Pavilion” in the palace gardens, named after Marie Valerie's mother, is still a reminder of the time when the Empress spent in the Wels area.
The building of the dragoon barracks, which was completed in the middle of the 19th century, was also of importance. In the time of National Socialism there were numerous military installations in Lichtenegg. To the west of the “ Alpenjäger ” barracks (former Dragoon barracks) was a 60,000 square meter barrack camp for soldiers (later “Barrack camp 1001”), south of the barracks there was another barrack camp and a building for the military headquarters. The military training and parade ground that existed before the Nazi era was also used by the Wehrmacht.
During the Second World War, Lichtenegg was repeatedly the target of Allied air raids, especially on the aircraft factory, which was located in the south of the district. The historic castle building also suffered severe damage.
After the war, many resettlers and expellees from Eastern and Southeastern Europe were housed in barrack camp 1001. Lichtenegg experienced a real population boom.
The parish church of Wels-Lichtenegg is located in today's center of the district . It is the successor church to the wooden church of the barracks camp and was consecrated in 1966 under the architect Karl Odorizzi and the pastor Stephan Macsady.
Economy and Infrastructure
A private clinic specializing in eyes and radiology is located in Lichtenegg, and a nursing home is due to be completed in 2015.
Lichtenegg also has numerous sports facilities, such as the Wels ice rink (Wels artificial ice rink) in this district. The ice rink is the training location of the two Wels ice hockey clubs EC Wels and the EHC Fire on Ice. In addition, the Welldorado is a large indoor and outdoor swimming pool in this district. North of the Welldorado is the Wels trotting track where regular events take place. Next to the historic Lichtenegger Middle School is the Raiffeisen Arena, it is the home ground of the basketball club WBC Raiffeisen Wels . With the Budokan Center, Lichtenegg is also home to a training center for Asian martial arts, and there is also a slackline park in the Noitzmühle district.
The Lichtenegg district is the location of numerous trading and service companies, for example the sanitary ware wholesaler Holter is based here. In the east of the district, the E-Werk Wels operates a district heating plant, which is one of the most modern in Europe. Close to the Wels-West motorway exit are the maxCenter and SCW shopping centers, two of which are of national importance. Together with the cinema, which opened in 2013, the western part of Lichtenegg is developing into a shopping and entertainment district, similar to Plus City near Linz. The district is connected to the city center by bus lines 1 and 4, to which Lichtenegg is connected to the Wels-West motorway exit with the A8 motorway.
