history

Around the year 400 BC The Celts settled the country and probably founded Pram. Around 180 BC The Celtic Kingdom of Noricum was founded in 15 BC. Is annexed to the Roman Empire. In the year 488 AD Roman rule ends, and the area of today's Upper Austria becomes no man's land through which Germanic peoples pass. In 893 Gaugraf Aribo vom Traungau and Engilmar (a vassal of the Bishop of Passau) dedicated goods in Pram to found a parish. This dedication was confirmed on August 11, 903 and Pram was first mentioned in a document. In 1156 Austria became its own duchy without defining an exact border between Austria and Bavaria. So there are always border violations. 120 years later, with the first treaty of Ried, the border between the two duchies was finally established, which means that Pram remained a border town until 1779, when the Innviertel became part of Austria. In 1620 Emperor Ferdinand II pledged Austria ob der Enns because of its war debts to Bavaria. When the Bavarians invade in the same year, the branch church of Pram, St. Nikola, is partially destroyed. In 1626 Pram was the scene of the Upper Austrian Peasant War. On September 20, 1626, the Battle of the Shoulder Mountain took place in Pram, in which around 800 Bavarian soldiers and an unknown number of rebel farmers lost their lives. In 1779 the Innviertel became part of Austria. This puts an end to the centuries-old Prams border location. At the time of the coalition wars (1800, 1805 and 1809), Pram was occupied, looted and blackmailed by the French. From 1810 to 1816 Pram was under Bavarian rule. The elimination of the manor in 1848 made it necessary to set up a new administrative unit. In 1849, today's municipality of Pram was established and consists of the three cadastral municipalities of Pram, Gries and Feldegg. In 1911 Pram came to the newly created district of Grieskirchen as part of the judicial district of Haag am Hausruck. Before that, Pram was part of the Ried im Innkreis district. On March 12, 1938, the German Wehrmacht invaded Austria, which was annexed to the German Reich as Ostmark. It was not until May 4, 1945, three days before the end of the war, that Pram was liberated by the Americans. The community has been part of the judicial district of Grieskirchen since January 1, 2003, previously it belonged to the judicial district of Haag am Hausruck .

politics

Mayor is Katharina Zauner from the ÖVP, Vice Mayor is Rainer Wöllinger.

Population development

In 1991 the municipality had 1,781 inhabitants according to the census, in 2001 it had 1,837 inhabitants. This growth was due to a positive migration balance, which was able to offset the negative birth balance (-46). There was immigration from 2001 to 2011, but the birth balance was very negative, so that the population fell to 1,730 people in 2011.

parish

Originally the area of today's Pram parish was looked after from Hohenzell . Due to the border location - Pram was in the Austrian Hausruckviertel, Hohenzell in the then Bavarian Innviertel - which Pram had until the Peace of Teschen in 1779, the parish vicariate “Prambkirchen” was established relatively soon. But it was not until 1861 that the independent parish of Pram was created. The parish of Pram does not, however, cover itself with the municipality area. The villages of Gries, Kornrödt and Gstöcket belong to the municipality of Pram, but are part of the parish of Geiersberg . On the other hand, the localities Weberndorf ( Wendling municipality ), Mundorfing and Natzing ( Dorf an der Pram municipality ) belong to the parish of Pram. The St. Nikola branch church in Pramer is also located in the village of Natzing.
