Population development
The strong increase in the population between 1991 and 2001 occurred despite a negative migration balance , as the birth balance was very positive (+342). After 2001, emigration remained the same, but the birth rate fell, so that the population only rose slightly.
history
History between 500 and 1800
The Bavarians immigrated to the region around 1500 years ago . Their leader Itzo settled with some of his people in Eitzing . Another part moved to the source of the Mehrnbach. At that time the following localities were founded: Atzo - Atzing, Fritz - Fritzging, Reno - Renetsham and Aso - Asenham. Dense forest initially covered the area of Baching, Bubesting, Sieber, Gigling and Dopplhub. This area is still called Oberholz today.
The Mehrbach settlement was established in 526. Construction of the first St. Martin's Church began in 788 and was consecrated in 911. The Merenbach estate was first mentioned in a document in 1140, the place Meranpach was mentioned in a document in 1160. Mernpach was recorded in records in 1253 as the mother parish of Ried . In 1340 a regional court was established in Ried. Mehrnbach was separated from Ried in the 14th century, and the Swaikkersberg (Schweiklberg) farm was also mentioned in a document in this century. In the 16th century the aisles of the current three-aisled church were built.
History from 1800
In the course of the French Wars, on December 18, 1800, the Austrian hussars fought against the French army on Schweiklberg ( Battle of Mehrnbach ). On October 30, 1805, the first French army rode through Mehrnbach and took possession of Ried. On November 2nd, 1805, Napoleon , coming from Braunau, moved through Mehrnbach to Ried. The withdrawal of the French troops then took place in January 1810.

Natural monuments
The Mehrnbacher 40s - an Innviertel quartz conglomerate - is a collection of more or less rounded quartz pebbles of various grain sizes. The specialty of this rock is the pebbly (SiO 2 ) binding agent, which turns the whole thing into a hard, resistant rock composite. The formation of these quartz conglomerates around 10 million years ago is related to the uplifting of the Alps and the subsequent erosion. The rubble was poured from the central Alps over large river systems into the foreland. From this full gravel, the residual gravel character developed only afterwards, which arose on the spot through profound weathering to form kaolin . The silica released during kaolinization is responsible for cementing the ballast . The silicification engages the gravel from above like a pin. Due to the irregular penetration of the dissolved silica, resistant conglomerates have formed at these points , while the loose gravel and the less solidified parts such as sandstones and clays have been cleared and removed. In the case of relocated blocks of the "Mehrnbacher Forty", the surface is sanded so that individual pebbles are depicted on the sanded surface in the form of circles or ellipses. They consist of quartz pebbles of various grain sizes and a different amount of pebbly binding agent. The cavities and pits, which give the conglomerate a sculpture-like appearance, can be traced back to solution processes. In earlier centuries the quartz conglomerate was used as a building block. These were transported far from the Mehrnbach area, which led to the name Mehrnbacher stones. The term "forties" comes from the number of building blocks that were extracted from the blocks. This designation has gradually transferred to the residents of Mehrnbach, which must indicate certain traits.

- ↑ On May 2, 1945, two Volkssturm men in Reichersberg shot the Augustinian canon Rupert Haginger (* 1898) from Mehrnbach and the monastery manager Theresia Lauß (* 1893) from Vordernebelberg (see Gottfried Gansinger: National Socialism in the Ried im Innkreis District: Resistance and Persecution 1938 –1945 , Innsbruck-Vienna-Bozen (Studien Verlag) 2016 ). A white flag was waving at the house of the Lauß sisters (Reichersberg No. 100, not far from the monastery ) . In the act, the Volkssturm men invoked the motto of Gauleiter Eigruber : "If you capitulate in a cowardly manner, you will be legally shot" (see Ernst Gansinger: Places of Remembrance , in: Church newspaper of the Diocese of Linz, edition: 2013/18; April 30, 2013, online ).
