Ludweis

Ludweis is a village in the market town of Ludweis-Aigen in the Waldviertel.

The Feste Ludwigs , evidently the founding of a man named Ludwig, whose position can no longer be localized, was mentioned several times in documents, for example when the Geras monastery was given the right to tithe to the chapel in "Ludwigs" in 1153/55 or when the chapel in 1353 was rebuilt outside the fortress. Rudolf IV granted the town market rights in 1363 and Wolfgang von Hofkirchen united his goods in Ludweis and Drösiedl around 1600, giving up the Ludweis fortress, which was probably already decaying, in favor of Drösiedl Castle .

After the destruction of the place by the Black Army of Matthias Corvinus in 1481/82, it was rebuilt around a market square. The traffic routes to Drösiedl, Oedt an der Wild and Radessen cross on its eastern side . At the western end of the village on the road to Seebs is the Franz Rabl settlement named after Franz Rabl and the Kaiser Franz Joseph Jubilee Park, which was laid out in 1908 for the 60th anniversary of the emperor's reign and was last renovated in 2005.
