history

Since the founding of the Duchy of Bavaria, the place was Bavarian until 1779 and came to Austria after the Treaty of Teschen with the Innviertel (then 'Innbaiern'). During the Napoleonic Wars briefly Bavarian again, the place has been part of Upper Austria since 1814.

Mining is located on a terraced landscape formed by the Ice Age on the Lower Inn in the northeast of the Braunau am Inn district. It was first mentioned in a document in AD 885. Numerous finds point to a very early settlement (e.g. bronze jug and bronze plate from the La Tène period in the fourth century BC in the village of Sunzing - can be seen in the Landesmuseum Linz). In the Gothic parish church there are interesting gravestones from the period after 1500 on the side walls and remind of the former rulers of the three castles Mamling , Sunzing and Frauenstein . The Mamling Castle Chapel is particularly worth seeing. Other interesting sights are the Inn power plant Ering-Frauenstein with a view of the reservoir and Frauenstein Castle.

coat of arms

The design of the coat of arms of Mining refers to the powerful family of the imperial counts of Paumgarten zu Ering and Frauenstein , who exercised the manorial rule in Mining for centuries and who also had their burial place in the parish church.
