history

Litzlberg am Attersee, painting by Gustav Klimt (1914–1915)

The area has been inhabited since at least the early 4th millennium BC (early Neolithic ). Then there is a gap in the archaeological finds, traces of settlement in the room can be found again from the 1st millennium BC ( Latène period , 'Celtic period'), and the Roman period.

The Litzlberg Castle ( Middle High German  letz , bairisch lützl , small ') is mentioned in 1313 about the owners and in 1377 a document, it belonged initially to pin Mondsee and the Diocese of Bamberg , from 1383 to the dukes of Austria, with changing fief holders. The place itself is mentioned only in 1666. The tax community Litzlberg emerged from the rule , which with the creation of the local communities in 1849 with Seewalchen resulted in the political community Seewalchen.

In March 2020, while a house was being built, a woman was found buried in a wood and metal coffin with grave goods in the ground, which is said to be locally associated with a Protestant prayer house from the 17th century. The finds are to be exhibited in Seewalchen. The coffin of Anna Engl von Wagrain was discovered.

The place became known in the Belle Epoque , when it became an insider tip for summer vacation . Among the guests was Gustav Klimt , who spent a few summers here and painted several Attersee pictures, in particular Litzlberg am Attersee (1914) ( restituted to a grandson by the Museum der Moderne in Salzburg in 2011 and auctioned off in New York for the equivalent of around 29 million euros) and Litzlbergkeller (1915). Klimt was the first owner of a motor boat and painted the pictures of the boat in the lake in order to then complete them in his studio.

In addition, the sand fisherman Theodor Wang discovered the remains of prehistoric pile dwellings here in the 1910s , which have been protected as a World Heritage Site since 2011 as part of 111 pile dwellings around the Alps .

Historically, since the 16th century. a brewery was operated in the building 50 m west of today's lido. Since there was no suitable storage space here, a cellar (with a residential building above) was built 1.6 km to the northeast in the Seewalchner district of Moos on the mountain side of the riverside road. The changed building still bears the name Litzlberger Keller as a hotel-restaurant .

Litzlberg has remained a typical summer resort to this day, which is also reflected in the ratio of many residential addresses to few (permanent) residents.

Infrastructure and sights

The listed local chapel Litzlberg (country baroque, before 1824, renovated in 1993) and the island castle Litzlberg , today as a new building (under the industrialist family Böhler ) in the historicist style around 1900. Other architectural monuments are the Villa Curzon (from 1927/1928, in historicist English Country house style, typical Salzkammergut style) and Villa Eichmann (from 1927–1931, classic modernism by Clemens Holzmeister ; including boathouse in the lake).

By far the most important cultural asset is the Litzlberg-Süd pile dwellings , one of the oldest in Austria, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site for Prehistoric Pile Dwellings around the Alps - but it is in the water and cannot be experienced without an expert guide.

• the sailing and surfing club Seewalchen SSC-S, now in and near a boathouse about 500 m km east of the island, founded in 1977, since 1979 in Litzlberg, successful in surfing in the 1980s ( Ulli Huber , world champion 1980) and organizing regattas ( today people surf in strong wind areas elsewhere) and
