history

Mank was first mentioned in a document in 1146. Almost 550 years later, the first school in the community was built. 13 years before that, 62 people died of the plague , which is reminiscent of a plague column on the main square today . In 1851 Mank became a market town and ten years later it had almost 1,000 inhabitants. On May 7, 1987, Mank was elevated to the status of town by the Lower Austrian state parliament .

The town of St. Haus, located in the municipality, was still called Sinabelkirchen (Sinawelkirchen, Sinwelkirchen) in the 15th century. The Lords of Walsee , who were also church bailiffs of Mank, who resided at Strannersdorf Castle , donated Sinabelkirchen to the founding of the Abbey of Säusenstein before it went out in 1483 .

From July 3, 2015 to July 5, 2015, the 65th Lower Austrian Fire Brigade Performance Competition (LFLB) took place in Mank.

coat of arms

On July 31, 1957 the Office of the Lower Austrian Provincial Government awarded the market town of Mank the following coat of arms:

“A split shield shows a golden Ypsilon on a blue background in the right field, four blue crossbars on a golden background in the left field, divided by a wave cut. The market colors are blue-gold. "

The golden Y is the coat of arms of the canon monastery of St. Pölten, which was the manor of Mank. The blue and gold wavy lines indicate the meaning of the river name Mank ("the underwashing").

This can be read in a letter from the Lower Austrian provincial government of September 7, 1956.
