Mönchgraben is a place in the Traun-Enns-Riedelland on the Danube in Upper Austria and a district and cadastral municipality of Linz , and belongs to the Ebelsberg district .

location

Mönchgraben is located in the extreme south of Linz, on the edge of the Traun-Enns-Platte to the Linzerfeld south of the mouth of the Traun . The Mönchgraben is the valley basin of the upper Mönchgrabenbach .

The village of Mönchgraben itself is located at the entrance to the valley and includes around 30 houses.

The cadastral community Mönchgraben borders in the northwest on the cadastral community Ebelsberg, in the northeast on the cadastral community Pichling and in the south on the cadastral community Gemering (community Sankt Florian ). It covers an area of ​​176 hectares, making it the smallest cadastral community in the Ebelsberg district.

In the cadastral community in the north are parts of the Schiltenberg  ( 337  m above sea level ), on which viticulture was previously also practiced. The key forest is located in the southwest . The western motorway runs through Mönchgraben in the north.

History and infrastructure

When the Westautobahn was built in 1938, the terraces of the former viticulture on Schiltenberg were exposed. Further construction in the 1950s uncovered two Roman altars dedicated to Victoria and Hercules. You are now in the Linz Castle Museum.

Mönchgraben, spoken in the dialect "Minigraben", was probably named after the proper name Muno . Because of its hidden location, the place was at times suspected of harboring thieves and fences. The Freithof is likely to have been particularly in disrepute ; another house was even removed from the Ebelsberg estate on the basis of this suspicion.

Mönchgraben is mentioned in 1471 in the tithe register of the St. Florian Monastery, which had six fiefdoms in Munich . These fiefs can be found in houses 1 to 7, which were later consolidated. In 1771 Mönchgraben belonged to the parish of St. Florian and comprised 21 houses. Houses 1 to 14 were later parished to Ebelsberg , the other buildings remained parish. Six houses fell victim to a fire in July 1859.

Due to the remote location, the parish and school affiliation of the village changed several times. In 1940 the Mönchgraben still belonged entirely to the Ebelsberg parish, in 1965 the eastern part of the village was assigned to the new parish of Sankt Paul (Pichling) at number 1 . The same limit was applied in school matters. The conscription village of Ölkam , which today belongs to St. Florian, was also part of Mönchgraben .

Apart from a single-family housing estate that was built in the 1950s and 1960s on Auergütlweg in the northwest of the cadastral community, there were no major structural changes in the Mönchgraben landscape with the exception of the motorway construction. Large parts of the cadastral community are dedicated as grassland and are used for agriculture by the remaining farms.
