history

A circular moat excavated in Plank am Kamp documents the settlement of the place as early as the Neolithic Age . In the Middle Ages the place was first mentioned in 1113 as Gutshof Blaeunikke in a deed of donation to Margrave Leopold III. mentioned by Austria , the saint, to Melk Abbey . Around 1130 a knight family of Plauniche sits on the site. From the 14th century the Counts of Puchberg were the landlords.
With the commissioning of the Kamptalbahn , Plank am Kamp developed into a summer retreat with numerous summer retreat villas. After 1945 the place could no longer follow the tradition of the summer resort. Changed travel habits, but also the construction of the Kamptal reservoirs, which led to a sharp drop in temperature in the Kamp, which is lined with numerous bathing establishments, deprived tourism in the Kamptal of its most important foundations. Since the parishes were merged in 1972, Plank am Kamp has been part of the large community of Schönberg am Kamp .
