history

It is first mentioned in a document in 809. On April 4 Adalant gives some own goods in Pogindorf the Mondsee Abbey .

• In 955 the churches of Pöndorf and Straßwalchen with Mattsee come to the diocese of Passau .
• In 1138 the Mattsee Abbey took over pastoral care.
• 1143 Pöndorf is an independent parish with all rights and obligations.
• In 1391, Pöndorf am Raahberg bordered the archbishopric of Salzburg , until then it bordered the rulership of Alten- and Lichtentann .
• 1437 Hans von Kudlich sells the Friedburg estate to Bavaria-Landshut . The Austrian - Bavarian border Landgraben thus runs through the Pöndorf municipality (village Landgraben, just before the Vöckla / Schwemmbach valley watershed ).
• In 1438 the church of Pöndorf became a branch of Frankenmarkt .
• In 1439 the ducal caretaker and woodruff in Friedburg started work; the area of ​​Pöndorf is divided by borders. Pöndorf becomes a bone of contention.
• In 1779 the Innviertel became part of Austria, the end of the moat as a state border (since 1437).
• From 1800 onwards the French invaded . The Pöndorf – Doppelmühle – Vöcklamarkt road will be made accessible to artillery.
• In 1813 the parish Pöndorf zu Straßwalchen and the dean's office Köstendorf (at this time the Innviertel and also Salzburg belonged to Bavaria again as the Salzach district , then the latter as the Salzburg district to the crown land of Austria above the Enns ).
• In 1834, the Pöndorf parish exposition was built as a rectory in its current form.
• In 1848 Pöndorf becomes an independent municipality (creation of the local communities during the revolution ) from the cadastral communities of Kirchham, Höhenwart, Forstern, Geretseck, Haberpoint and Oberschwand .
• In 1858 the Frankenmarkt – Salzburg railway line was built . One stop is in Pöndorf.

coat of arms

Blazon :

“In black a silver staff ; on the right a golden, left-turned, red armored and crowned lion , on the left a golden, red armored and tongued eagle . "

The coat of arms, awarded in 1974, with the Palatinate lion and the Upper Austrian eagle reminds of the historical border between the two countries, which ran through the middle of today's municipality until the Innviertel was acquired in 1779. The moat , symbolized by the white stick , formed part of the border .

Economy in Infrastructure

traffic

Pöndorf is important as a local traffic junction: to the south, today's Wiener Straße B 1 passes , which overcomes the pass from the Vöcklatal (Traun) to the Mattig valley to the west on Rathberg . Here the Pöndorfer Straße L 1282 branches off to the northwest, which meets the Kobernaußer Straße L 508 6½ km further at Höcken . When it was expanded over the Kobernaußerwald, the further route - Schneegattern or Pöndorf - was unclear, so that the expanded route ends abruptly in Höcken to this day.

The Westbahn has a stop at Pöndorf bei Volkerding .

Wind power

Pöndorf has long been under discussion as a location for wind energy: Upper Austria's first 100 m tower has been up on Steiglberg in the Kobernaußerwald since 2002.

The Silventus wind farm in the Wiener Höhe area between Pöndorf, Lohnsburg and St. Johann am Walde - planned by Energiewerkstatt Munderfing and Bundesforsten 13 2 MW plants (including 7 wind turbines in the Pöndorf area) - could not be approved in 2011.

With the Upper Austria wind master plan, however, the ridge southeast above Hocheck in the Floriani-Kapelle area, Forstern disaster area , was designated as a priority zone location Kobernaußerwald Süd .
