historical development

The first settlement took place as early as 3000 BC. Around 400 BC. The Celts stayed in Lindegg, which is proven by numerous barrows between Jobst and Lindegg. Gradually the forests were cleared and a settlement called Lündegk was established. In the time of the Haiducken (1605) and the Kuruzzen incursions (1704), many residents died and the place was burned to the ground. The area was slow to recover from the chaos of war. After the introduction of compulsory schooling , a classroom was set up in 1874. According to the school chronicle, the opening of the first school building took place on November 9, 1878.

The Lindegg volunteer fire brigade was founded in 1930 and the new fire station was inaugurated a year later. The Eisschützenverein was founded in 1952. The Lindegg Hunting Association has existed since 1953. Since 1957 there has been a fruit press community and a community cold store in Lindegg . Together with Jobst and Loimeth, the place formed an independent community until 1968, before it was merged to form the large community of Bad Blumau.
