history

A circular moat excavated in neighboring Plank am Kamp documents the settlement of the place as early as the Neolithic . In the Middle Ages the place was first mentioned in 1113 as Gutshof Blaeunikke in a deed of donation to Margrave Leopold III. mentioned by Austria , the saint, to Melk Abbey . Around 1130 there was a family of knights Plauniche in Plank am Kamp (then Unterplank ) and Oberplank. Your fortified noble seat was in Oberplank. The St. Magdalena chapel and the Oberplank property at number 5 must have been part of the castle complex. From the 14th century the Counts of Puchberg were landlords. With the commissioning of the Kamptalbahn , Oberplank developed into a small summer resort with a few summer resort villas. After 1945 the place could no longer follow the tradition of the summer resort. Changed travel habits, but also the construction of the Kamptal reservoirs, which led to a sharp drop in temperature in the Kamp, which is lined with numerous bathing establishments, deprived tourism in the Kamptal of its most important foundations. Since the amalgamation of municipalities in 1972, Oberplank has been part of the large municipality of Schönberg am Kamp .
