history
For a long time Puchberg was mainly characterized by agriculture, from 1595 the Protestant politician Christoph Puechner built Puchberg Castle in the Renaissance style. From 1641 the castle came into the possession of the Seeauers, who expanded it into a mansion. At the end of the 19th century, several important institutions were created in Puchberg, the school was opened in 1897, and the Puchberg Volunteer Fire Brigade was founded in 1888 .
During the Nazi era , Puchberg was incorporated into the city of Wels in 1939 . During the Second World War , Puchberg was hit by several bombs, the castle and the areas at the marshalling yard suffered more severe damage . In 1952 the Diocese of Linz bought Puchberg Castle , renovated it and set up an education center with several seminar rooms.
Economy and Infrastructure
The ÖBB Terminal in the south-east of the district is of particular economic importance ; its volume makes it one of the best in Europe. The rolling road has its starting and ending point here. Several pairs of trains depart daily from the terminal in Puchberg to Germany , Slovenia and Hungary . Some logistics and manufacturing companies are located in the industrial area next to it. The district also has a fire station for the Wels volunteer fire department.
The district is of supraregional importance primarily due to the educational center Schloss Puchberg , where numerous seminars take place.
The district is connected via line 1 of the Welser Linien with the new town and subsequently with the city center and from there with the remaining districts and census districts. Until 1996 the Passau Railway had its own Wels-Puchberg station, but this was shut down due to poor transport connections.
