The Niembsch-Hof is a former barracks and the largest municipal housing in the Lower Austrian municipality of Stockerau .

history

The building was built from 1721 to 1724 as a cavalry barracks according to plans by Jakob Prandtauer . From 1767 to the end of 1870 the barracks was the seat of the main military equipment commission ("Oeconomie Commission" or "Military Equipment Commission") and was then used by Uhlan and Dragoon regiments . From 1871 to 1875 there were renovations and extensions; Among other things, additional stables, a troop hospital and a riding arena were built. From 1935, the barracks were used by the Kopal No. 3 motor vehicle battalion and the No. 3 Light Artillery Regiment of Lower Austria. After the annexation to Germany, the Kopal No. 3 motor vehicle fighter battalion was disbanded, with the German Wehrmacht continuing to use the building complex as a hunter and artillery barracks . After the war, the Soviet Red Army quartered itself until 1955 and in 1956 the building served as quarters for Hungarian refugees . In 1957, the municipality of Stockerau gave the Prinz Eugen barracks it owned to the federal government and in return received the barracks complex on Röschstrasse (Wienerstrasse), which was owned by the federal government. The municipality then adapted the former barracks for residential purposes until 1961. In 1959, a Lenau memorial with archive was set up on the ground floor of the south-east wing.

The former barracks and current municipal housing are named after Joseph Maria Niembsch (born August 15, 1752 near Roermond (Netherlands), † 1822). Niembsch entered the Imperial and Royal Military Service in 1768 and in 1808, as Colonel, was in command of the Main Military Equipment Commission in Stockerau. On December 24, 1820, he was raised to the hereditary nobility with the predicate Edler von Strehlenau . In September 1818 he brought his grandchildren Maria Magdalena Franziska (1804–1860) and Nikolaus Franz (1802–1850) from Hungary to live with him and financed a degree for Nicholas, who later became Austria's greatest lyric poet of the 19th century as Nikolaus Lenau .
