The founding of the market in Perg is mentioned in a document in 1269, but it is likely that the Babenbergers did so at the end of the 12th or beginning of the 13th century. The market Perg or the cadastral community Perg was divided into market, upper and lower market, a few houses in Karlingberg, and the barely populated Kickenau .

700 years later, in 1969, the market town was elevated to the status of town of Perg . A few decades earlier, on November 1, 1938, the previously independent cadastral and local parishes of Pergkirchen and Weinzierl had been incorporated into the market town of Perg. The main articles Pergkirchen and Weinzierl deal with their development .

While the main article Perg deals with the municipality of Perg, including the essential historical aspects of today's municipality, the following is essentially the market of Perg in the area of ​​the cadastral municipality of Perg.

The pending the establishment of the independent market town of Perg in 1848 in the market Perg existing Community property of citizens of the market Perg on real estate and the related use and other rights or obligations have been treated as a special fund in the Municipal Code of 1864, under a Community Supervision of the market town had to be administered. This community was called the commune and existed in Perg until it was forced to dissolve itself in 1938. In legal terms, it was a public corporation .

The re-establishment of the market commune Perg after 1945 failed due to the objection of the Upper Austrian provincial government . Finally, the middle-class agricultural community of Marktkommune Perg was formed , which reached a settlement with the market town of Perg in 1958 at the Restitution Commission of the Linz Regional Court and, before it was dissolved, divided the remaining land to the owners of the market houses. 25.8 hectares of forest land are still jointly managed by the Perg agricultural community.

geography

The market or the cadastral municipality Perg covers an area of ​​7.61 km² and borders in the north on the municipality Lebing, in the east on the municipalities Altenburg and Pergkirchen , in the south on the municipality Naarn and in the west on the municipality Weinzierl .

On November 1, 1938, the community Lebing was incorporated into the community of Allerheiligen , the community Altenburg into the village community Windhaag and the communities Pergkirchen and Weinzierl into the market community Perg. The previously independent local communities remained as cadastral communities.

At the time of the creation of the Josephine warehouse registers, the area of ​​the Perg market was divided into 17 corridors in the broader sense, each with numerous land parcels, the corridors in the narrower sense:

Ortsplatz, Hinterbach, Schern, Henerbichl, Eysa, Krautgärten, Oberpoint, Oberfeld, Mitterfeld, Mitterpoint, Unterpoint, Kleinfeld, Unterfeld, Pergerau, Bauernwiesen, Hauswiesen, Burgrechtwiesen in Kickenau, Kronawitt.

At the time of the census on January 1, 2001, the cadastral municipality of Perg had 4,979 inhabitants, ten years later 5,411.

History before 1848

Market law and small jurisdiction

Burgfriedstein below the Scherer property
Pillory in the main square of Perg from 1583

Perg has a rectangular square as a characteristic of the city and market foundations in the late Babenberg period (976 to 1246) . In 1269 the Perger received market rights and in 1280 a judicium (market court) was notarized for Perg.

Markets could be held in larger and closed settlements and had to be approved by the ecclesiastical or secular sovereign due to the medieval state and constitutional concept. Since order and supervision had to be taken care of when many people came together, the sovereign market ban gave the privileged place a kind of special jurisdiction for the duration of the market and the days before and after (sovereign freyung). It is not clearly documented, but it is believed that Perg received such market rights between 1191 and 1218.

The market judge presided over the market council. Its function corresponded to that of the later mayor . The names of the market judges of the Perger market court are known for the period from 1566 to 1848.

The sphere of activity of the mayor of Perg was marked outwardly and delimited by the castle cemetery, of which there were 18 in Perg, including four main cemetery stones. One of the main castle cemetery was north at Scherer, one at Zeitling, west, one in the so-called Sauhalt , south, and one east below the Seyr brewery on Hauderer Bezirksstrasse . Minor offenses by traveling journeymen , people passing through and local residents were determined within this area by the market judge of Perg according to the penalties of the time.

The Perger pillory ( pillory ) from 1583 was the outward sign of jurisdiction and served as a punitive tool . It is a granite pillar on which the punished were handcuffed and brought before the public. Initially a torture tool and a place of corporal punishment, the pillory gained widespread use for the execution of honorary sentences from the 13th century . It can be assumed that there was a pillory (probably made of wood) in Perg at the time the market rights were granted in 1269.

Regardless of its own, lower jurisdiction, the Perg market was initially (from around 1230) under the Machland district court at Mitterberg Castle, from 1485 to the Greinburg district court and from 1591 to the Schwertberg district court. In contrast to this, Perg was still included in the Greinburg district court in 1823.

On July 31, 1524, Count Julius Hardegg (Herrschaft Greinburg , then called Heinrichsburg) sold the Michaelimarkt von Au an der Donau , the Bruggmühle (in the 20th century Leitner-Mühle or Dirneder-Mühle) and the bath room to the citizens of Perg . Archduke Ferdinand confirmed this purchase on August 31, 1524. It is not known whether the people identified in the mill chronicle were initially only the operators of the mill and when it was transferred into personal possession.

In Markt Perg, markets were common on the following days until the 20th century:

On Ash Wednesday, at Mid-Fast (Wednesday, middle of Lent), on Tuesday after Pentecost, on Jacob's Day (since 1489, July 25th, day of the patron saint), on Bartholomew's Day (August 24th), on Michaelit's day (originally in Au an der Donau , purchased from Count Julius Hardegg in 1524, September 29th, lasted 14 days before and after Michaelmas) and on Kathrinitag (November 25th). The weekly market was held every Wednesday as a grain market from 1583.

With the introduction of the regional courts in 1810, the market court ceased its activities. Until 1848 the market had a syndic in addition to the mayor (= market judge).

At the seat of the Lordship of Schwertberg, which has belonged to Count Josef von Thürheim since December 4, 1816, is also the official seat of the district commissariat. The district included the parish of Perg (patronage of the Herrschaft Haus) and the tax communities of Perg and Weinzierl. At that time, the Perg market was subservient to the Freystadt rule.

From the Middle Ages to 1848, only the citizens of a market or a town were considered eligible for election to the market council (the local government in today's sense). When citizens were people who owned a house in the city or in the market had and by a bourgeois handling , that is, of being self-employed as artisans , merchants , innkeeper , Ackerbürger or other trader malnourished.

There were seven guilds in the Perg market , the most important of which was the millstone crusher with 30 to 40 citizens. While initially millstones were only made to order, the Perger millstone industry emerged later, the products of which were used throughout the entire Danube Monarchy . Most of the millstone breakers had their houses in the upper forecourt of Perg.

Also of importance is the guild was Hafner . The Perger Hafnerkunst was characterized by the use of the Malhorn technique, whereby so-called onion, double eagle and Maundy Thursday bowls as well as white and black ceramics were produced for everyday use. The stove makers mostly had their houses and workshops in the lower fore market in Perg.

The life-size carved crucifixion group erected on the hill north of the market in Perg in 1727 was exposed to the rigors of the weather, so that in 1734 the council of the market in Perg decided to build a chapel , the Perger Kalvarienbergkirche, and secured its preservation by taking over a citizenship .

See main article Perger Kalvarienbergkirche

More than a hundred years later, in 1837 the coppersmith and Perger citizen, Franz Paur, the grandfather of the later Perger mayor Johann Paur , donated the granite stations of the cross along the way to the Perger Kalvarienbergkirche.

When, after the Naarn regulation with the construction of the Naarn Canal, the swampy bog soil was transformed into meadow ground by draining it, around the year 1780 these plots of land were divided into strips to the communal houses of Perg, depending on their size (one part, two part, three part). These strips of meadow could not be sold. They had to stay with the commune houses. The owners only had the usufruct.

See main article Perger Au

In Perg there were also Pregartbeete (fenced in places) at the wood floodplain next to the Seyr brewery and herb gardens opposite the elementary school. These land strips were for sale.

Indications of the extent of the common property of the citizens of Perg arise mainly from the settlement concluded with the market town of Perg on the occasion of the dissolution in 1958.

History after 1848

After the dissolution of the subordinate relationships in 1848 , on the basis of the imperial patent of March 17, 1849, the local parishes were formed within the boundaries of the cadastral parishes that had existed since 1784 .

As a result, the old civil parishes lost their economic and political position; the local parishes could only be constituted with the municipal law of May 5, 1862 and the municipal ordinance and election ordinance of April 28, 1864.

On the basis of the above-mentioned municipal code from 1864, the owners of the oldest houses on the market in Perg formed their own commune (association with the benefit of forest and field), which was later classified as an agricultural community under public law .

Civil self-government

The municipality was subject to its own administration:

The community leader presided over the community committee. The municipal elections took place every three years (head, committee, substitutes). The deputy head of the house was a treasurer. The resolutions required a two-thirds majority. You had to be 24 years of age to vote. With a handshake, the elected community officials praised the eldest member's conscientious fulfillment of duties and administration of their assets, cared for impoverished citizens and received the citizens' hospital. Hospital administrators (Bürgerspital) and bath administrators (Warmbad) were elected by the municipality.

Ownership, foundations

The municipality was the owner of the fishing water from the Schönbeckmühle to the Bauernbrücke an der Naarn , also the owner of the Sparkasse Perg (founded in 1864), 4 houses and the fire extinguishing supplies store. The commune owned about 35 yoke fields, 81 yoke meadows, 30 yoke forests, gardens, pastures, building sites, a total of 158 yoke 1536 fathoms . Further plots of around 16 yoke were revocably ceded to the respective pastor by the magistrate of the market in Perg.

The local authority administered the Frühmeß- and Bürgerspitalstiftung and had to care for impoverished community members and civic children.

Town houses

According to the information in the Perger Heimatbuch of 1933, the Perg municipality included the houses Markt 1 to 121 with the exception of the rectory (No. 109), 31 houses in the Obervormarkt (No. 1 to 7, 13 to 15, 27 to 44, 47, 50 and 51), 35 houses in Untervormarkt (1 to 24, 26 to 36) and 1 house in Karlingberg (No. 10).

Savings bank

The Sparkasse der Marktkommune Perg was founded at the meeting of the municipal committee on November 3, 1864, in order to offer the less well-off people classes a convenient opportunity to invest their savings profitably and to make it easier for real loans to obtain cheap capital. The opening took place on August 18, 1865 in the pub made available by the market commune in the old town hall. The market municipality assumed liability for the deposited funds. The interest rate for deposits was then 5%, for loans 6%.

After it was founded, the Sparkasse der Marktkommune Perg was involved in the financing of all important local building projects (child care facility, elementary and secondary school, district administration, market lighting, new town hall after the fire of 1875, construction of the electrical works, etc.). The pavement relocation throughout the village, the construction of the Naarntalstrasse, Warmbad and swimming school were created with their help and the local associations that work for the common good were promoted.

In 1935 the Sparkasse received its own building on the main square, previously it was an office of the Bank for Upper Austria and Salzburg (Oberbank).

After the dissolution of the market municipality of Perg with effect from January 2, 1939, the municipality of Perg assumed liability for the deposits at Sparkasse Perg.

The savings bank was founded in 1991 Perg 65 million by the City of Perg to the Allgemeine Sparkasse Linz to S sold . The money was used for various investment projects in the city of Perg (including an outdoor swimming pool, a kindergarten extension in Friedhofstrasse, etc.).

Comparison with the market town of Perg

The market commune of Perg dissolved with effect from January 1, 1939. All rights and obligations have passed to the market town of Perg. The process was carried out in two steps, since in 1943 further properties that had not been taken into account in 1939 fell to the market town of Perg.

In 1947, the members of the former market municipality of Perg submitted restitution claims to the restitution commission, which meant that a corresponding note was made in the land register for all properties that belonged to the market municipality of Perg at the time. The enforcement took place on the one hand before the restitution commission and on the other hand before the agricultural authority and ultimately ended in a settlement.

In 1958, the market town of Perg took over the entire property, consisting of the houses at Hauptplatz 4 (town hall), Lebinger Straße 2 (two-class school building from 1830 to 1893), Herrenstraße, on the basis of a settlement before the restitution commission of the regional court Linz with the bourgeois agricultural community Marktkommune Perg founded in 1955 20 and 22 (official building), Töpferweg 2 (Eichamt) and Fadingerstraße 2 (fire station). She also got the land revocable to the respective pastor in the extent of approximately 7 hectares and further land in the extent of 11 hectares. At the same time, all public law obligations of the market municipality were transferred to the market municipality of Perg. She renounced the property belonging to the houses taken over (so-called house shares) and the shares in the house meadows.

The Agrargemeinschaft Marktkommune Perg received plots of approximately 84 hectares and waived replacements for the plots sold by the Marktkommune Perg since 1938. With regard to the land taken from the pastor, it was agreed that the market town would supply the rectory and church with electricity free of charge up to a certain consumer replacement rate. In 1963, the agricultural community partially distributed the land to the owners of the market houses in a regulatory process monitored by the agricultural authorities. 26.5 hectares will continue to be managed jointly, although the property portfolio may change due to acquisitions and sales. To avoid confusion, the name was renamed and re-registered as Agrargemeinschaft Perg in 1958. New statutes were drawn up, which were adopted in 1966 and some points were changed in 1972.

Depending on the location of the properties allocated to the individual homeowners, in the following years, in the course of the population and economic development of Perg, some of these could be dedicated as building or commercial land and sold to prospective home builders and companies.

The archive of the market municipality of Perg

The archive of the market commune Perg in Upper Austria, covering the period from the 13th to the 20th century AD, has been kept in the tower of the parish church since the 17th century , where it was accessible to everyone and therefore losses were inevitable. In 1876, on the initiative of the then municipal head, Michael Fries (1839–1912), the archival materials were moved to the then newly built town hall.

In 1908 the archive was expertly organized by Eduard Straßmayr and the result published in a brochure. After the First World War , Florian Eibensteiner (1853–1932) researched the documents and manuscripts that had been preserved and studied the source material from various libraries and archives. The result was reflected in the Illustrated Heimatbuch von Perg, Upper Austria., 1933.

The relocation of the market archive to a damp room at ground level and the mixing with museum items after the Second World War by the Soviet occupation had a negative effect. It was not until 1947 that the market archive was taken over and reorganized by the Upper Austrian Provincial Archives, with reservation of ownership. In addition to the confirmations of market privileges by the sovereigns and the market register with copies from the 16th to 19th centuries, the documents contain, in particular, the almost complete series of court minutes from 1603 to 1800.

Population development in the Perg market

In the middle of the 16th century (1545) there were around 80 houses (so-called primeval houses, castle rights) in Markt Perg. The number rose slowly and was 136 in the middle of the 17th century (1644) and 161 in the middle of the 18th century (1750). 1809 houses were counted and 196 houses in 1825.

The Perg market was divided into market, upper and lower market and Kickenau (see also section town houses). The population development from 1825 to 1951 and the development of the number of houses from 1545 to 1951 are as follows:
