Market coat of arms
Blazon : In red on a black rock, a silver ax placed at an angle to the left with a curved edge and black handle. Documentary evidence of Peilstein's coat of arms authorization cannot be found or provided. In a letter dated November 23, 1928, the Upper Austria. Landesarchiv states: "As can be seen from the imprint of the seal provided by the community administration , the community has had a market coat of arms for a long time, the seal stick probably dates from the 18th century."
The oö. In 1928, the state government recognized the Peilstein market’s coat of arms , but the drawing and color of the market’s coat of arms were not reported.
After another input by the municipality, the Upper Austria. Landesarchiv 1939 stated that “the coat of arms of the municipality of Peilstein consists of a white shield with a blue rock over which a cross-standing iron ax hovers. The color blue is heraldically identified by horizontal hatching. "(Congregation Chronicle)
The representation of the ax is described once as floating above the rock and once as sitting on the rock like a hoe stuck in a haberstock. In the heraldic yearbook “Adler” from 1876 you can read: “Peilstein, market in the Mühlviertel . Coat of arms: In white, an iron ax standing crosswise on a blue rock. "
The creation of the coat of arms is uncomplicated and simple: it is derived from the place name.
Also in the parish seal, which probably also dates from the 18th century, there is a distinction between the depiction of St. Leonhard and St. Aegidius to find the Peilsteiner coat of arms: a hatchet standing crosswise in a stone, hatched, which heraldically would mean the color red.
While the market coat of arms was previously shown in a silver-white shield with a covered blue rock on which an old carpenter's broad ax with a light brown handle sits, in the book "The coat of arms of the cities and markets of Upper Austria" by HE Baumert (Volume 10 of the series of publications by the Institute for the Regional studies of Upper Austria, OÖLV Linz) to find the Peilsteiner coat of arms with a red shield, covered, pointed, black rock with a white ax with a black handle sitting on the rock.
The community colors are white and blue.
history
Originally under the feudal sovereignty of the Passau bishops , the place was first mentioned in 1150. Probably the elevation to the market took place before 1650; but it is only documented in 1708.
During the Napoleonic Wars , the place was several times a. a. occupied by Bavaria. Since 1814, the place finally belongs to Upper Austria.
After the annexation of Austria to the German Reich on March 13, 1938, the place belonged to the Gau Oberdonau . In the same year, the small communities of Kicking, Kirchbach and Peilstein were merged to form the market town of Peilstein. On May 1, 1945, American troops occupy the market. After 1945 the restoration of Upper Austria took place.
Emergence
Maria Theresa did decisive preparatory work for the geographic formation of the communities. In the course of the state reform, in 1748 it called the so-called “district offices” into being as the first general political administrative units. In the same year, an inventory of their property had to be drawn up from all of the country's manors. The result of this Theresian version was the Theresian Cadastre completed in 1750 .
In 1774 the districts were divided into district commissariats , which comprised several parish districts and were administered by suitable gentlemen or their carers. These district commissariats formed the first general administrative bodies. Peilstein was its own district commissioner with the official seat of Peilstein. The seat of the magistrate was in the center of the village until 1754 (today Markt 2). Although a new building was built as the magistrate's house in 1754 (the so-called castle , today Stifterstrasse 12), the Passau judge mostly stayed in the first named domicile until 1803 . After secularization (confiscation by the state) in 1803, this house (Markt 2) was sold to private individuals in 1805.
On November 19, 1812, Joseph Sengl from Steyr bought the Peilstein estate with 122 houses for 24,585 guilders .
Under Joseph II . the district commissariats were divided into tax communities in 1786 and house numbering was introduced in the localities. The results of the measurements and estimates of the properties were recorded in so-called version tables ( Josephine Cadastre 1787). The Peilstein district commissioner (Peilstein, Julbach, Kollerschlag) had in 1827:
1 market, 49 villages, 873 houses, 1323 tenants, 5799 inhabitants, 1 lordship, 3 parishes and schools, 7 tax communities, 2 surgeons , 2 midwives , 1 hospital foundation, 2 leaf binders, 1 bleacher and manager, 1 turner , 2 hammer forges , 2 stonemasons , 277 weavers , 2 brick makers , 20 commercial, 113 police trades and freelance jobs
The three parishes and schools were or are located in Julbach, Kollerschlag and Peilstein. Via Julbach and Peilstein, the prince was patron and the pastor of Sarleinsbach was present on his behalf; about Kollerschlag was the religious fund the patronage right to.
The tax communities later became the cadastral communities . In 1848 the manors were abolished. In 1849 all former subjects were given the right to self-determination . The provisional municipal law took the cadastral parish as the basis for a local parish. The communities Kicking, Kirchbach and Peilstein were therefore established in today's municipality.
Execution of the citizens of Peilstein on April 28, 1945
On April 28, 1945, five citizens of Peilstein - a bricklayer, a glazier, a merchant, a screen tire manufacturer and the municipal secretary - were executed by firing squad at the military training area in Treffling . They had tried to remove an anti-tank barrier in order to prevent shelling by the approaching American troops and were therefore sentenced to death by a court martial for “ undermining the military's strength ”. The Gauleiter of Upper Danube, August Eigruber , was sentenced to death among other things because of these events as part of the Dachau trials .
In memory of the Peilsteiners killed and other Upper Austrians murdered at the end of the war, a memorial designed by Linz artist Heimrad Bäcker was erected in Treffling .
