Maria Gugging is a town in Klosterneuburg in Lower Austria . The cadastral parish in which the place is located does not have the addition Maria , but is only called Gugging . Until the renaming on October 30, 1989, the place was also called Gugging .

history

Gugging ("Kukkingin") was first mentioned in a document, probably in 1072 and "Gukkindorf" in 1083. There are human traces in and around Maria Gugging from the Neolithic Age. There is only solid evidence of the first humans from Roman times (15 BC - 488 AD).

On April 1, 1885, the Gugging-Kierling insane asylum went into operation. In April 1886 construction began on the first building of the Lower Austrian Provincial Psychiatric Clinic Gugging , which was renamed on July 1, 1890 and had its own management .

Parish and pilgrimage church Maria Gugging

The parish and pilgrimage church of Maria Gugging was built by the client Franz Völker (1868–1948), a wealthy Viennese merchant, in neo-Gothic - Nazarene style. It was inaugurated in 1913. Maria Gugging became a place of pilgrimage through the Lourdes Grotto in the Vienna Woods , a replica of the Lourdes Grotto in France, which the priest Kaspar Hutter established in 1923. A miraculous image in a rock niche in the grotto was consecrated in 1925 by Prelate Ignaz Seipel , then chairman of the Christian Social Party .

The renaming initiated in the corporate state was nullified by the " Anschluss of Austria " to Nazi Germany in 1938.

In 1989 the town was renamed from Gugging to Maria Gugging by the Lower Austrian provincial government.
