Pfandl (Bad Ischl municipality)
Pfandl is a district of the municipality of Bad Ischl in Upper Austria.
Pfandl is located in the village of Haiden west of Bad Ischl. The district grew rapidly in the second half of the 20th century, so that its own parish could also be established. This is based on a wooden chapel built in the middle of the 19th century, which was later built in stone and then expanded into a church. This is replaced by a newly built church in the 1950s. While the modern church, which was elevated to a parish church in 1961, is in the south of the district, the cemetery is in the far north. The existence of a “Pfennleins in dem Yschelland” can be documented here as early as 1312, a pancake house that belonged to the Traunkirchen monastery and in which salty water was soaked to salt. But this was stopped with the intensification and mechanization of salt production. What remains, however, is the field name Pfandl , on which today's district developed.
