The Linzenberg is a district of the community of Schwarzach ( 433 m above sea level ) and geographically a foothill of the Bregenzerwald Mountains in Vorarlberg , Austria .
history
The settlement of the Bregenz Forest in the Middle Ages takes place u. a. over the Steussberg and the Linzenberg.
In 1468, with the permission of the abbot of Mehrerau, Johann III., A chapel and chaplaincy are built at the foot of the Linzenberg (in today's cemetery) .
In 1640, fortification work was carried out on Linzenberg in the course of the Thirty Years' War and in 1647 there was fighting ( Swedish War ).
In addition to the mule track from Wolfurt via Bildstein (then called Steussberg ), there was a first, quite steep cart track around 1561 as a country road from Schwarzach - Linzenberg - Farnach (then also known as Fahrnach ) to Alberschwende. Around 1772 this cart path was expanded into a road during the reign of Joseph II and had to be maintained by the Hofsteig communities up to the Alberschwende border. This led to considerable disputes because the costs seemed too high in relation to the Hofsteig communities and the Bregenzerwald wagoners would have the greater benefit. Accordingly, the maintenance of the driveway received little support from the Hofsteig community - also because of general financial concerns of the communities - and the poor condition was repeatedly criticized by the authorities and warnings for improvement. Due to several letters of complaint, it is also known that some wagons from the Bregenzerwald behaved quite inconsiderately towards the neighbors along the road. Only in 1837 was another major road construction project completed, the construction of Schwarzachtobelstrasse , which made this route over the Linzenberg superfluous for through traffic.
Topography, geography, location and traffic
The Linzenberg is an offshoot of the Farnacherberg and like it is bordered on the south by the Schwarzachtobel with the Schwarzach and on the north by the Minderach . To the west, the Linzenberg runs relatively gently into the Alpine Rhine Valley and on the east side it meets the Farnach plateau ( 747 m above sea level ) on the Farnacherberg and subsequently from Alberschwende ( 740 m above sea level ). An exact geographical delimitation of the Linzenberg on the eastern side is not possible.
Geographically, the Linzenberg has a maximum width of around 650 m and is around 1100 m long if the municipality border between Schwarzach and Bildstein is used as the eastern border and covers an area of around 55 ha .
The Linzenberg can be easily reached with normal motor vehicles from Schwarzach. The permanently populated parts of the hill are between 433 m above sea level. A. and 600 m above sea level A.
Buildings
The most important historical buildings on the Linzenberg are the Heimatmuseum Schwarzach and the regionally significant Linzenberg Chapel , which has existed since the 1870s.
Craft, trade
Despite the historical importance of the Linzenberg for Schwarzach and the outstanding topographical position, no significant commercial infrastructure has developed here. Agriculture still dominates here.
