geography

The total area is 12.5 km². 5.6% of the area is forested, 74.4% of the area is used for agriculture. The Krumbach or Paschinger Bach (Thurnharting and Pasching-Ort) and the Grundbach (Aistenthal) flow through the municipality.

• Aistental (10)
• Langholzfeld (3574)
• Pasching (2514)
• Thurnharting (481)
• Wagram (1050)

history

The area has been populated since the early days.

Originally located in the eastern part of the Duchy of Bavaria, the place belonged to the Duchy of Austria since the 12th century. Since 1490 it has been assigned to the Principality of Austria ob der Enns .

During the Napoleonic Wars , the place was occupied several times.

Since 1918 the place belongs to the federal state of Upper Austria. After the annexation of Austria to the German Reich on March 13, 1938, the place belonged to the Gau Oberdonau . After 1945 the restoration of Upper Austria took place.

The districts of Langholzfeld and Wagram were mostly settled by displaced persons (from Batschka , Banat , Transylvania , Bohemia and Moravia ) between 1950 and 1965 .

The sudden increase in population between 1951 and 1971 can be explained in particular with the settlement of displaced persons ( Batschka , Banat , Transylvania , Bohemia and Moravia ) in the districts of Langholzfeld and Wagram in the south of the municipality. Since then, the population has remained relatively constant at just over 6,000. The expansion of the Thurnharting settlement area in the north of Pasching will increase the population of Pasching in the next few years.

religion

There are two Roman Catholic churches in Pasching, the Pasching parish church and the Langholzfeld parish church.

The club also celebrated international success. In 2003, the team reached the UI Cup after a 4-0 home win over Werder Bremen in the semi-finals, where they only narrowly failed at FC Schalke 04 . With the 3rd place at the end of the Bundesliga season 2003/04 the team reached a UEFA Cup place.

Economy and Infrastructure

traffic

Transport hub Hitzing: Linz AG and Wilia

Pasching train station

The new fire station in Pasching

Pasching is conveniently located on the western exit roads of the state capital Linz . Wiener Straße (B 1) and Kremstal Straße (B 139) run through the municipality, and the A 1 and A 25 motorways with good connections to the Paschinger road network are in the vicinity . And the Linz Airport is located just a few kilometers from Paschinger town center. Pasching can be reached by trains using the Westbahn ( Pasching stop ) and the Linz Local Railway ( Thurnharting and Hitzing stops ). Buses from Linz AG (lines 43, 15, 17), Wilhelm Welser Verkehrsbetriebe Traun , Wilia and Postbus also open up the municipality.

The large increase in retail space in the Plus City shopping center and the increase in commercial operations also resulted in a large increase in the volume of traffic, which is why the mostly two-lane roads to the shopping areas were often congested during the day and have become a massive problem for Pasching. In particular, the two-lane Kremstal Straße, which as a “shopping mile” houses a large number of shops and shopping centers, suffered from an unacceptably high volume of traffic. A bypass is therefore being built for this street between the Weingartshof in Leonding and the Ritzlhof in Ansfelden . The northern section (mostly called construction lot Doppl II ) between the Weingartshof in Leonding and the so-called “airport roundabout” was opened to traffic in 2010. This means that the route has now been expanded continuously from Weingartshof to Haid.

The Linz tram was also extended from the Linz main train station via Leonding and Pasching to Traun. The construction of the first section to Leonding (Harter Plateau) began in 2009. This route was opened to traffic as part of tram line 3 on August 13, 2011. The extension via Pasching in the direction of Traun started in 2013 and was opened in February 2016 to the Traun intersection.

Established businesses

Printing center for the Upper Austrian news

The Upper Austrian News runs a printing center in Pasching.

Due to the proximity to the state capital Linz and the convenient location in the central area, many businesses in trade, commerce and industry have settled in Pasching. In particular, new industrial areas were created along the B 1 and B 139. In the 1990s , three shopping centers ( UNO Shopping , PlusCity and Haid Center ) and a large number of other shops were built here on the B 139 within a few kilometers . The largest shopping center, PlusCity, is located in the Pasching municipality. It emerged from the “Plus Kaufpark” and is one of the largest shopping centers in Austria.

There are a total of 800 companies in Pasching with a total of 3700 employees (2006). One company in Pasching is a large company with more than 200 employees, 7 companies have more than 100 employees.

politics

Municipal council

The municipal council consists of 31 members and has been made up of mandates from the following parties since the 2015 municipal council election:

• 12 SPÖ - provides the mayor
• 10 ÖVP
• 5 FPÖ
• 4 List Fritz Böhm - we are not obliged to any party

In addition to the traditional parties SPÖ, ÖVP and FPÖ, the list of ex-mayor Fritz Böhm also appeared again. The Paschinger Greens, Franz Kainz's citizens 'list and the citizens' list for the environment, people and development (BLUME) no longer ran for the municipal council election. Contrary to the state trend of the state elections taking place at the same time in Upper Austria in 2015 , the ÖVP, which ran under the name "Team Hofko - ÖVP Pasching", achieved strong profits. As the strongest party, the SPÖ was able to defend first place, but lost two seats. Also strong, due to the general trend in the country, the freedom could gain. These are now represented by five municipal councils. Fritz Böhm's list again achieved four mandates and thus remained about as strong as in 2009.
