history

First documentary mention

The noble-free Pettendorfer (after whom the Upper Palatinate Pettendorf is named) were among the most important noble families of the northern Gau . Friedrich III. von Pettendorf (approx. 1070 to 1121) was with Heilika (approx. 1090 to after 1110) - a daughter of St. Agnes from her first marriage to the Swabian Duke Friedrich I. von Staufen - married. The widow Agnes married Leopold III from Babenberg in 1106 . In the wake of the Babenbergers , representatives of the Pettendorf family moved east as bailiffs and built a so-called fortified local mountain at Leeberg or Löwen, a tumulus from the Hallstatt period on the Wagramkante with an excellent view of the Tullnerfeld and the Wiener Pforte . The village, still recognizable today as a typical round village, was built in the immediate vicinity .

The first written mention of Pettendorf can be found after 1108 and before 1114 in the tradition codes of the Göttweig monastery . Under A f. 30 v No. 61 or B f. 24 v no. 58 this entry can be found:

“Noverint omnes Christi fideles, quod queam matrona Hiltipurch dieta ob remedium anime mariti sui Egilolfi tradit super altares. Marie predium unum Peitindorf situm, quod Werinhardi fuerat beneficium. Testos vero voro hii sunt adhibiti: Pilgrim, Meginoz, Reginger, Hirz, Rapoto, Altmann, Gerune, Reginhard, Adalbero, Rahawin. (Mrs. Hiltipurch dedicates an estate to Pettendorf, which was a fiefdom of Werinhard, to Göttweig as a piece of equipment for her deceased husband Egilof.) "

As far as we know today, this is the first documentary mention of the village.

Development of domination

Seyfried Christoph Reichsgraf Breuner

From the existing documents it can be seen that in the 14th century the Viennese noble family Dossen and in the 15th century the Ebersdorf family were the landlords of Pettendorf. After the Ebersdorfers died out, the Eyzingers inherited the village. Stephan von Eyzing acquired in 1475 from Emperor Friedrich III. the first market right for the place. This date is recorded in the pillory that still exists today . In 1620 Imperial Count Seyfried Christoph von Breuner inherited Pettendorf from his grandfather (on his mother's side) Philip Christoph Freyherrr von Eyzing. In 1637 he obtained that Emperor Ferdinand III. granted the village market rights again.

The market town of Pettendorf remained in the possession of the Counts of Breuner until 1848. Since the Middle Ages, some half-wages in the village belonged to the Dominican convent of Tulln . This Halblehen were after the dissolution of the monastery under Joseph II. As (1789) Bailiwick loans managed by the Breunern. The income from this went to the church fund. The Breuners owned numerous estates and villages in Lower Austria . Their headquarters were in Asparn an der Zaya and in Grafenegg . Pettendorf was administered from their Neuaigen estate. The tithe and robot barn still exists today at the southern entrance to the village, in which this is on September 29th at Michaelis - the taxes for the rulership were delivered.

For centuries, the auxiliary body of the land authority to maintain and monitor the submissive community was the so-called market judge . In larger parishes - also in Pettendorf - juries were placed at the side of the market judge. Market judges and jury were chosen from a triple proposal of the community residents and confirmed by the landlord. The last market judge in Pettendorf was Ferdinand Diwald.

The revolution of 1848 and the liberation of the peasants

There was a starvation winter in Austria in 1847/1848. The economic hardship hit the disadvantaged population groups hardest. Finally, on March 13, 1848 in Vienna, with the storming of the Ständehaus, the revolution broke out. The now 78-year-old State Chancellor, Prince Metternich , the hated symbolic figure of absolutism, resigned and fled to England. The peasants' liberation was a success of the revolution . The Silesian MP Hans Kudlich had succeeded in the economic liberation of the peasants through the basic relief patent , the centuries-old inheritance was lifted, the peasant became the free owner of his land. According to the Basic Relief Act of March 4, 1849 (implementation provisions), some services were to be canceled free of charge, others to be replaced by two thirds. The farmer had to pay a third of the compensation, the crown land the second third, the third third was at the expense of the rulership because the peasant obligation was no longer applicable. For the people of Pettendorf, this meant the replacement of Count Breuner as their landlord.

The previous constitution and administration of the municipalities was also changed with the provisional municipal law of March 17, 1849. The municipalities were granted an independent sphere of activity, but the obligations were also imposed to participate in public administration. Linked to this was the creation of the new higher authorities: District and district courts emerged, the district authority replaced the district office. Each congregation could now freely choose its leader and its representatives.

In the summer of 1850 the market town of Pettendorf was founded, to which the villages of Pettendorf, Wolfpassing, Seitzersdorf and Zissersdorf belonged. Before the district commissioner of Stockerau N. Stögermayer, the residents of the community of Pettendorf elected the master shoemaker Leopold Fischer from Wolfpassing as their mayor and the farmers Josef Kienböck from Pettendorf and Johann Lederer from Zissersdorf as councilors. They were sworn in by Ignaz Kainz, the dean and pastor of Hausleiten, in the Pettendorfer church.

The time until the end of the monarchy

With the abolition of robot and tithe, with the basic relief, the cessation of landlord claims to monetary and in-kind taxes, the largest property shift that has ever occurred here was triggered in Austria . With the self-government of the communities, a new phase in the lives of the residents began. Of course, it took years before all innovations and reforms were fully implemented. After the apparition in Lourdes in 1858, a statue of the Virgin Mary was placed on the pillory, which was there until the 1930s. Pettendorf is developing continuously and numerous businesses are emerging in the previously purely rural village. In 1862 a surgeon also settled here. In 1866 Pettendorf became Prussian for a few weeks. In 1873 Austria was surveyed for strategic military reasons and it was determined that Pettendorf had 80 houses and 50 stables, which could comfortably accommodate 70 military men and 10 horses, or 400 men and 50 horses with crowded accommodation. Voluntary fire brigade (1885) and milk cooperative (1902 to 1970) are founded.

In 1884 the large community was dissolved from the above-mentioned places, but the now independent market town of Pettendorf reached its highest population level in 1890 with 458 inhabitants. From 1904 a fortification of the Danube line is planned and built, which should provide support in a possible two-front war with Italy and Russia . Pettendorf receives - to protect the Tulln bridgehead - the main belt plant, which is still in ruins today. It offered space for 70 men and was equipped with a double battery of cannons, which was not visible to advancing troops. However, these facilities were never used.

Since 1918

The First World War claimed 6 victims in Pettendorf. After the war there were also numerous break-ins and looting in Pettendorf, so that the local residents resorted to self-protection and set up a guard. In 1925 the Schilling currency is introduced in Austria, in which Viktor Kienböck (1873–1956) from Pettendorf played a key role. At that time Kienböck was Finance Minister of the Republic of Austria.

In 1927 the Pettendorfer tried their hand at being a passion player . More than 15% of the local population took an active part. In the Second World War there were more than 25 dead. In 1945 - with a population of 334 at the time - 700 Red Army soldiers were temporarily quartered. Until 1955 the place was part of the Soviet occupation zone .

At the beginning of the 1970s, the Pettendorf farmer Johann Ebermann caused an international sensation with his young cattle. Numerous delegations of peasant officials and scientists from other European countries, from the USA and Canada and from Japan come to get to know the form practiced here in the rearing of bulls in practical application. The independence of Pettendorf ended on December 31, 1971. Due to the large municipal reform decided on December 7, 1965 for Lower Austria, Pettendorf becomes the cadastral municipality of the market town of Hausleiten . In this way it is politically reproduced what has been the case on parish territory for almost 900 years.

The Church of St. Barbara and the School System

Church of St. Barbara, in the foreground the old school

In 1692, Philipp Christoph Graf Breuner gave his market town the building site for a church (chapel), which was inaugurated on December 4th, 1693 on St. Barbara's Day. The Church of St. Barbara was looked after by the pastor of Hausleiten. Numerous attempts by the Pettendorfer to become their own parish failed. Although St. Barbara was recognized as a branch church of Hausleiten and was later set up as a branch with its own measurer and a parsonage paid for by the community, it was still not possible - to this day - to break away from the parish of Hausleiten. The high baroque hall church with a roof turret dominates the church square. Also the interior - in which u. a. there is also a Black Madonna - is baroque.

On the altar table of the right side altar, which is dedicated to the Holy Family, there has been a black Madonna since the patronage of 2005. This Madonna was lost in the parsonage of Hausleiten for around 70 years after it last stood in a niche under the organ at the entrance until around 1930. Before that it was likely to have stood in the church, where it was replaced by a Vespers picture in 1701. In older records, the statue is called the "Black Mother of Loretto", which is wrong, however. In fact, it is a certified (confirmed by a seal on the back) copy of the Madonna von Altötting (approx. 1330), which was made during the construction of the Barbara Chapel (1693) or probably even earlier. At the beginning of 2000, Pastor Peter Janousek found this statue in a drawer in the parish of Hausleiten. After a thorough restoration by Mag. Ralf Wittig akad. Restorer from Zwettl, this gem was placed at its current location. The wooden base, which is equipped with a sophisticated mechanism to prevent theft, was made by master carpenter Josef Nägerl from Pettendorf.

The school system is closely connected with the emergence of the church. As early as 1702, nine years after the church was built, there is evidence of school operations in the village. The sacristan or someone skilled in reading and writing began - much to the displeasure of the pastor from Hausleiten, who lost income as a result - with teaching the children.

Between 1760 and 1762 a school was built at the southern entrance to the village (house number 19, no longer available today). The school consisted of two rooms: a classroom and a living room for the teacher. In 1872 the children from Gaisruck finally started school in Pettendorf after a long effort. This soon made it necessary to build a new schoolhouse and employ a second teacher, because there were now around 30 more children in the Pettendorfer school. In 1884 the old school was replaced by a new building in the center of the village (house number 62). On October 22nd, 1884, the new school was audited and inaugurated with high mass, handing over the keys, speeches and a snack in the new school building. In 1910 the school reached its highest grade with 138 children. In 1953 there were only 19 children left. This school was taught until 1968. Since then, the children from Pettendorf have been brought to class in Hausleiten. The schoolhouse, however, had not had its day, but was adapted for local events after the last inn had closed its doors. In 1974 the old teacher's apartment (parish hall) was demolished and the fire station with a parish hall was built. This building is gradually being expanded and today it presents itself as a neat parish and fire station with a large assembly hall and garages for the fire engines.
