Pillichsdorf is a market town with 1166 inhabitants (as of January 1, 2020) in the Mistelbach district in Lower Austria .

geography

Pillichsdorf between Obersdorf and Groß Engersdorf on the northern edge of the Marchfeld around 1873 ( recording sheet of the state survey)

North view of Pillichsdorf in spring

Pillichsdorf is located on the northern edge of the Marchfeld in the Weinviertel in Lower Austria at 167 m above sea level and is traversed by the Russbach . The area of the market town covers 14.32 square kilometers. 7.97 percent of the area is forested. While the Russbach flows south of the village, the Mühlbach runs through the middle of Pillichsdorf, albeit partially piped. To the north of the village, the land rises gently up to the Hochleithenwald , which Pillichsdorf no longer has a share in, while the southern municipality is relatively flat.

Community structure

The municipality also includes the Reuhof cadastral community, which only consists of a former manor and a few commercial buildings. Ranging from Reuhof were around 1890 Föhrenmonokulturen planted to protect the arable soil from drifting.

history

As early as the Neolithic Age, people who farmed here settled in the Pillichsdorf area . The Bronze Age can also be documented with finds. In the Early Iron Age ( Hallstatt Period ) the area of Pillichsdorf was the seat of a local prince, who was buried in the tumulus a little south of the settlement area. An excavation under Franz Heger in 1878 brought to light fragments of around 30 vessels and corpses of two people. While the area was rather sparsely populated in the time of the Celts , according to the few finds, there is again numerous evidence from the decades of the presence of Teutons . Thereafter there is a longer gap in the find until the 11th century.

The establishment of the place is assumed around the year 1050. The name goes back to Count Sieghard from the Bavarian family of the Sieghardinger or his wife Pilihilt. The place was named after her (first documented in 1161) as Pilehiltdorf, which later became Pillichsdorf. Around the same time, the Pillichsdorf parish must have been founded, which was probably the mother parish for the entire middle Rußbachtal. Thus, the Sieghardinger and their heirs, the Counts of Peilstein and the Counts of Schala, must be regarded as the first landlords of Pillichsdorf, even if there is no further evidence for this.

Among the later landlords , the Hintbergers (→ Himberg ), who called themselves "von Pilichdorf" from around 1200 (approx. 1200-1361), there were some quite significant: Ulrich von Pilichdorf was a truchsess , Dietrich von Pilichdorf was appointed by Duke Rudolf III. enfeoffed with the marshal's office . A castle ("Veste") has been attested in Pillichsdorf since the beginning of the 13th century and is mentioned again and again later in the sources. However, their location is unknown today.

As a result, the manors changed frequently. The main landlords and thus “Lords of Pillichsdorf” were, after the Pilichdorfern (the former Hintbergers), the Lords of Dachsberg (approx. 1365–1423), Starhemberg ( 1423– approx. 1491), then Pillichsdorf was an imperial fief for a short time. This was followed by the knights of Landau (1513), a knight of Hanauer (1534–1561), the knight Wolfgang von Stubenberg (1561–1570), the barons of Herberstein (1570–1719), the counts of Sonnau (1719–1766) , Baron Franz Anton Heiter von Schönwet (1766–1776) and finally the Hofspital am Rennweg and the Habsburgs, where Pillichsdorf remained until 1848 - i.e. until the abolition of the manor.

In addition, numerous other rulers owned real estate, including the Augustinians , Scots , Minorites and Dominicans in Vienna, the Augustinians in St. Pölten , the Wolkersdorf and Ulrichskirchen , the parishes of Pillichsdorf and Wolkersdorf and a few others.

The market law Pillichsdorf received for a lost document from the municipal archives probably already in 1370, it was renewed in 1846, allowing in two markets: the Johannimarkt (May 16) and Martini Market (November 11). When the Bohemian King Georg von Podiebrad invaded Lower Austria in 1458, according to the historian Thomas Ebendorfer von Haselbach ( Cronica austriae ) the Pillichsdorfer defended themselves behind the churchyard walls, but the place went up in flames.

In 1529, the year of the first siege of Vienna by the Turks , the Pillichsdorf castle burned down and in 1544 was only referred to as the "desolate fortress".

In 1540 a fire destroyed the village, including the church and rectory, in the summer of 1556 lightning struck the recently renovated church, so that it burned out completely. In October 1585 another fire destroyed the whole village.

The Reformation found its way into Austria before the middle of the 16th century , but it could not fully assert itself in Pillichsdorf, and at the latest with the work of the dean Elias Reisch (1584–1601), Catholicism in the town should have been consolidated again.

At the beginning of the Thirty Years' War in 1619, a Moravian colonel is said to have been quartered in the village with his crew and 1000 horses. The village also experienced difficult times towards the end of the Thirty Years War in 1642 and especially in 1645, when the Swedes under General Lennart Torstensson moved through the Weinviertel.

In 1679 another plague epidemic claimed numerous lives among the population.

During the second Turkish siege of Vienna in 1683, Pillichsdorf was probably spared fighting. However, a number of people who had fled the Turks came to the place. Now the plague also broke out, which raged until 1684 and killed over 60 people. A votive picture in the parish church reminds of this .

In 1699 Pillichsdorf was flooded once more by the Russbach stream. In 1705 the Kuruzzen made the area unsafe and in 1713 the plague broke out again .

On July 12, 1753, a conflagration raged in Pillichsdorf, in which 46 houses were destroyed.

Pillichsdorf was also badly affected in the Napoleonic Wars . From November 1805, two French generals and their staffs were housed in the rectory, who only left the place in January 1806. The common soldiers were housed with the local residents. During the Battle of Aspern on May 21 and 22, 1809, Austrian troops were quartered in the village, and Prince General Johann von Liechtenstein lived in the rectory. At this time, Emperor Franz I , who had his headquarters from May 16 to July 7 in the Wolkersdorfer rectory, visited his soldiers in Pillichsdorf several times. From the tumulus ("Kalvarienberg") he observed the course of the battle at Wagram on July 5th and 6th, as indicated by a memorial stone. After the defeat of his troops, the French occupied the place, plundered and caused fires, for example on the Hofwiese, where 23 houses were destroyed. Napoleon's soldiers did not leave the area until November 19, 1809. At the end of July 1809, epidemics broke out and raged in the area until May 1810. On September 19, 1811, a fire devastated several houses on the main square.

In the great flood of March 1830, the water of the Russbach destroyed 30 houses and seriously damaged 53. In 1831 cholera broke out and many villagers fell victim to it.

In the summer of 1866, after their victory in the Battle of Königgrätz , the Prussians occupied Austria as far as the Russbach. While Obersdorf, which lies south of the stream, remained unoccupied, Prussian soldiers were quartered in Pillichsdorf, and the officers again in the rectory. During this time, a fire broke out, which killed several houses on Mittelstrasse and Wienerstrasse. In the period that followed, diseases such as cholera spread. According to the community chronicle, the Prussian King Wilhelm I , later the German Emperor, rode with his companion through Obere Kellergasse and then via Großengersdorf towards Gänserndorf.

In 1851 and 1872, fires ravaged the place again.

63 Pillichsdorfers died during the First World War , 79 men lost their lives in the Second World War .

During the last days of the Second World War , retreat skirmishes took place in Pillichsdorf between troops of the Wehrmacht and the Red Army , in which eight German and 13 Soviet soldiers were killed. Five buildings were destroyed by fire, all major bridges and one air mine depot were blown up. On April 12, 1945, the Soviets marched into the town.

The school is probably as old as the parish, but reference is made to a school teacher only in the 16th century. Pillichsdorf still has a four-class elementary school today. The school building was erected in 1894.

Pillichsdorf was not affected by the amalgamation of towns in the late 1960s, as it had over 1000 inhabitants. Since then, the market town of Pillichsdorf has been one of the smaller communities in the Mistelbach district.

Reuhof cadastral community

The cadastral community of Reuhof, which belongs to the place, emerged from a desolation of a farming village, which was possibly destroyed in 1458 by the mercenaries of the Bohemian king Georg von Podebrady . The village, first mentioned in a document in 1296 as “Reich”, was probably not repopulated at that time, also because of its barren sand and gravel soil.

In the 16th century, a sheep farm belonging to the Bockfließ dominion was built near the abandoned village , and in the first half of the 19th century the area was grazed by around 800 sheep; It was not until the end of this century that the hat pastures, which were mostly burned out in summer, were plowed back under the plow. The areas least suitable for agriculture have been reforested.

The farm owned by Count Traun was leased in 1921 by Planta AG and bought in 1926 by the state of Lower Austria, which set up an experimental agricultural estate there. It was not until 1948 that the old manor was torn down; the newer buildings were built between 1920 and 1953. In 1966, the country sold the manor to the Biber family from Vienna- Floridsdorf . In 1966/67, the former estate widths were parceled out in the course of a land replenishment campaign and sold to farmers in the neighboring communities of Obersdorf , Pillichsdorf and Großengersdorf . Today there is a riding stables there. There are several commercial buildings nearby.

Parish Pillichsdorf

The founding of the Pillichsdorf parish is assumed around the year 1050 and should later have come into the possession of the Diocese of Passau . Since the Middle Ages (secured since 1205) Pillichsdorf was the seat of an extensive deanery of the Diocese of Passau. From the Middle Ages (at least since 1330) until 1724, the Pillichsdorf-Ulrichskirchen double dean existed in order to secure a higher income for the dean . In addition, some places in the area belonged to the Pillichsdorf parish, such as B. probably originally also Ulrichskirchen , then Wolkersdorf (until approx. 1350), Großengersdorf (until 1784), Eibesbrunn (until 1784), Seyring (until 1755), Obersdorf (until 1913), Raggendorf (until 1715), Hautzendorf (Heiliger Berg) / Traunfeld (until 1885) as well as the Helmahof and the Reuhof and were looked after from here, which repeatedly led to tensions between the dean in Pillichsdorf and the communities mentioned. In the Middle Ages, professors at the Vienna University were several times Dechante von Pillichsdorf, later, in the Baroque period , the financially well-funded parish was often assigned to officials of the Passau Officials in Vienna. Pillichsdorf ( belonging to the Archdiocese of Vienna since 1785 ) remained the seat of the deanery until 1995. Thereafter, the name was changed to "Wolkersdorf deanery".

coat of arms

Blazon : "Split of gold and blue, in front a lying four-tiered red gable extending from the edge of the shield to the gap, behind on a half green two-hill a golden vine with grapes and five leaves that become smaller towards the top."

Explanation: The right half of the shield shows the coat of arms of the Lords of Pillichsdorf (approx. 1190–1360), who built a fortress here and who were probably the landlords until approx. 1360. The vine with the grapes indicates the great importance of viticulture in the past and present. In the first two documented mentions of Pillichsdorf (1161 and 1180) reference is made to viticulture. The green hill is intended to show that the vine thrives particularly well on the hills of the wine mountains.

Population development

The place had 1121 inhabitants in 2012.

Pillichsdorf Tumulus Kalvarienberg

Catholic parish church Pillichsdorf hl. Martin: The church is one of the oldest and largest churches in the region. Parts of the nave date from the Romanesque period (1st half of the 13th century), the high choir was built in the Gothic period (1st half of the 15th century), while the 45 m high tower was built at the beginning of the 16th century. After a fire, the nave was given a new vault at the end of the 16th century. In the 18th century the building was expanded and partially baroque. The interior furnishings mainly date from the Baroque era (18th century) and the 19th century.
Tower Museum: The Tower Museum is a small museum in the 500 year old church tower of the parish church of St. Martin. It was founded in 1984, and since 1987 has included a second tower floor. Spiral stairs lead up to the two rooms, where over 130 exhibits from the history of the town can be viewed. (Geology, prehistory and early history, middle ages, modern times)
The mighty rectory north of the church, which has medieval origins, burned down several times in the 16th century and was enlarged and repaired in 1599 (see inscription above the entrance). In the years 1693–1700 the building was rebuilt and expanded to roughly its present size. In the 19th and In the 20th century, renovations and renovations took place several times. B. after the flooding of 1830. Until 1848 the rectory was the center of the parish manor and so there used to be various farm buildings on the site, which were later gradually demolished.
Mansion / Castle: This building was probably built or adapted as a residential house by Johann Quintin Ehrenreich von Sonnau (see inscription above the gate) in 1725 and acquired by the municipality of Pillichsdorf at auction by the Imperial and Royal State Goods Administration in 1802. Since then it has served as a municipal office, but temporarily housed u. a. a poor house and a bank. An inn has also been housed here since 1802.
Kellergassen: In the spacious Pillichsdorfer Kellergasse there are a total of 241 cellars, namely 161 in the larger Upper and 80 in the Lower Kellergasse. It is one of the largest connected cellar alleys in Central Europe.
Tumulus / Kalvarienberg: The roughly five meter high tumulus is located about 1.5 km southwest of the town center and is a burial mound in which a prince from the Hallstatt period (approx. 650 BC) was buried. The finds from the archaeological excavation carried out in 1878 under the direction of Franz Heger (see chapter “Early History”) are in the Natural History Museum in Vienna. The baroque statues of Mary and John were probably placed there in the 18th century, with a simple wooden cross in between.
Hager-Mühle: The Pillichsdorfer Mühle was first mentioned in 1378, but certainly existed earlier. It was a stately mill until 1767, which was given to a master miller for a rent. It has been owned by the Hager family ever since. The massive building is likely to date from the 17th century and was expanded in the following centuries.

economy

There were 33 non-agricultural workplaces in 2001, agricultural and forestry operations 76 according to the 1999 survey. According to the 2001 census, the number of people in employment in the place of residence was 500. In 2001 the activity rate was 45.93 percent.

Viticulture , which is practiced in the predominantly loess-covered northern hill country on excellent southern locations, is of economic importance to this day . The larger southern part of the municipality as well as the Reuhof area, which already belong to the Marchfeld, largely consist of poor sand and gravel soils that only provide good yields with artificial irrigation. Mainly barley, wheat, rye, maize, rapeseed and sugar beet are grown. Pillichsdorf has been part of the Mistelbach administrative district since 1938.
