With an area of 83.11 square kilometers, Puchberg am Schneeberg is one of the largest communities in Lower Austria. The highest point of the municipality is 2076 m above sea level. A. high monastery coat of arms , the main summit of the Schneeberg , which is also the highest mountain in Lower Austria.
The name of the market town has been documented by Eberhard von Puchperch since 1260 . Numerous visitors came to Puchberg as early as the 18th and 19th centuries. With the opening of the Schneebergbahn on April 15, 1897, a structural change from agriculture to tourism began. The climatic health resort and climatic health resort is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Lower Austria.
geography
Puchberg am Schneeberg is located in the Neunkirchen district in southern Lower Austria, within the European Protected Area of the Northeastern Rim Alps. The main town is 585 m above sea level. A. , measured at the municipal office in the center of the village. The highest inhabited district is the Rotte Hinterm Faden at 840 m above sea level. A. , measured at the valley station of the Salamander chairlift.
Puchberg has a share in two natural areas. While the vast majority is in the Schneeberg region, the Schneeberg and Losenheim are in the Semmering-Rax-Schneeberg area.
The closest cities are Neunkirchen , Ternitz , Gloggnitz and Wiener Neustadt . The federal capital Vienna is around 80 kilometers away.
Nature and geology
The largest part of the municipality consists of meadows, fields and coniferous forests. In the surrounding mountains there are five streams, the Sebastianbach , the Hengstbach , the Sierningbach , the Pfennigbach and the Losenheimer Bach.
A biogenic Wetterstein limestone appears above the bottom layer of the Wetterstein limestone . This is followed by a macroscopically conspicuous rock in which reddish-brown to gray, centimeter-sized micritic lime components are combined with light / dark gray banded calcite cements . These rock layers can also be found in the wider area. Gutensteiner Kalk is only located on the border with Gutenstein .
mountains
Puchberg am Schneeberg lies in a valley basin and is surrounded by several mountains. The highest point is the Schneeberg, a table mountain that forms the end of the valley to the west. With its two main peaks, Klosterwappen ( 2076 m above sea level ) and Kaiserstein ( 2061 m above sea level ), this is the highest mountain in Lower Austria. Other peaks of the Schneeberg massif in the Puchberg municipality are the Vestenkogel ( 1947 m above sea level ) and the Waxriegel ( 1888 m above sea level ). In front of the Schneeberg are the Lärchkogel ( 883 m above sea level ) and the waste ( 966 m above sea level ). The walls of the Schneeberg drop off at a height difference of up to around 1200 meters, sometimes steeply to the Puchberg valley basin and thus form an imposing backdrop of the basin around the districts of Schneebergdörfl and Losenheim. The Schneeberg is also one of the most important drinking water resources in Eastern Austria and has been supplying Vienna since October 24, 1873 via the 1st Vienna Spring Water Pipeline .
The other mountains drop significantly in height compared to the Schneeberg, but still reach some alpine heights. These are:
- in the north of the Schober ( 1213 m above sea level ), the Großenberg ( 1188 m above sea level ), the Öhler ( 1183 m above sea level ), the Wiesberg ( 893 m above sea level ), the Haltberg ( 1114 m above sea level ) m above sea level ), and the Hutberg ( 971 m above sea level ),
- in the east the area ( 1023 m above sea level ), the Himberg ( 948 m above sea level ), the Kienberg ( 1015 m above sea level ) and the Strengberg ( 740 m above sea level ),
- in the south the Anzberg ( 795 m above sea level ), the Schacher ( 906 m above sea level ), the Gahnsleiten ( 1120 m above sea level ), the Gahns ( 1186 m above sea level ), the Alpleck ( 1292 m above sea level ) m above sea level ) and the Krummbachsattel ( 1333 m above sea level ), which the Kleine Sattel ( 828 m above sea level ), the Große Sattel ( 1314 m above sea level ) and the Hohe Hengst ( 1450 m above sea level) . A. ) are upstream.
The Puchberger Tal is only open to the southeast. The entire Puchberg valley floor is drained through the Sierning valley, which leaves Puchberg near the Ödenhof district ( 511 m above sea level ). The Puchberger Straße (B 26) also leads through the Sierning Gorge to Ternitz.
From the east, Puchberg can be reached via the Grünbacher Sattel ( 678 m above sea level ), via the Puchberger Straße from Wiener Neustadt and the Schneebergbahn. From the northeast, the Ascherstraße (L 138) leads from Miesenbach over the Ascher to Puchberg. A path leads from Puchberg am Schneeberg by the thread digging for Mamauwiese .
The cogwheel railway of the Schneebergbahn leads up to the Hochschneeberg, from where, in good weather, a view opens up far over Lake Neusiedl to the Pannonian Plain . In optimal conditions, binoculars can see as far as Lake Balaton .
climate
As a prerequisite for the rating of climatic health resort , the municipality of Puchberg operates a climate station and has the Central Institute for Meteorology and Geodynamics issue a climate report every ten years .
The annual sunshine duration averages 1860 hours. Fog is rare in all seasons and usually only lasts for a very short time. The annual average precipitation falls on every other day. Even in midsummer, rain is not uncommon. In winter, walls of snow (cornices) up to three meters high arise in some places. The precipitation can be quite heavy, which can lead to small-scale floods and mudslides; most recently on June 6th and 7th, 2002, when the Pfennigbach broke out of its banks and caused massive damage to buildings and fields amounting to more than half a million euros.
Due to the mountain climate, days with hot and humid periods are very rare, even in midsummer; the nights bring strong cooling from the mountains. In summer the average temperature is around 25 ° C, in winter just below 0 ° C. Around 75% of the days there is weak wind of 10 to 20 kilometers per hour.

Map with all coordinates: The market town of Puchberg am Schneeberg consists of three cadastral communities:
- Puchberg
with the districts Ödenhof, Hengstberg, Hinterm Faden, Hof, Knipflitz, Losenheim, Puchberg, Sonnleiten, Schneebergdörfl, Schwarzengrund, Strengberg and the Rotten Hengsttal, Hinterm Hengst, Im Prater and Mittering; - Rohrbach im Graben
with the districts Breitensohl and Rohrbachgraben and the Rotten Arbestal , Gratzehöhe, Gahnsbauer, Schmalleiten; - Stolzenwörth
with the districts of Eichberg, Haltberg, Lanzing, Pfennigbach and Sierning as well as the Rotten Bruck, Ranzenbach, Reitzenberg, Schoberhof and Tuft.
The districts of Puchberg, Rohrbachgraben, Schneebergdörfl and Sierning are densely populated and accommodate most of the residents. The remaining municipal areas are rather sparsely populated and mostly consist of meadows and forests. In the districts of Losenheim and Hinterm Faden there is a ski area on the north side of the Hochschneeberg. The places Schneebergdörfl, Losenheim and Rohrbach im Graben are starting points for hikes on the Schneeberg.
A specialty are the districts of Lanzing and Tuft , which are the only ones not in the Puchberg valley basin or Rohrbachgraben, but are geographically separated by the Hutberg from the Miesenbachtal and can be reached via the pass road over the Ascher. The Kaltenbergbach , which rises there, is the only body of water that drains north via the Miesenbach and further into the Piesting.
The total area of Puchberg am Schneeberg is 83.11 square kilometers. Around 66% of the municipal area consists of forest areas. Meadows account for 23%, built-up areas and buildings around 5% and gardens, bodies of water and other areas 5%.

history
Prehistory and early history
Traces of settlement were very scarce in the Puchberger Tal. Only the discovery of a serpentine hole ax on the Schneeberg and that of a Bronze Age dagger are known. A sign that is popularly known as a Roman hand, a hand on a coat of arms, probably dates from the 15th century due to the shape of the coat of arms and therefore has no reference to the Romans . Rather, it is likely to have been a donor coat of arms of the modern age.
It can be proven with certainty that a Roman road ran through Puchberg, on which a lively transport of goods took place. Branching off the Heeresstrasse, which had led south from Vindobona (Vienna), a transport route ran from Leobersdorf via Bad Fischau, Winzendorf, Willendorf and Grünbach to Puchberg. There it led along the Großenberg to the Mamauwiese and further into the Klostertal and Schwarzatal. This created a connection between the provinces of Pannonia and Norikum . While grain and wine were mainly transported from the east, salt and wine from the west were transported. The Römerweg in the Sonnberg district is still a reminder of this transport route.
Middle Ages - 5th to 15th centuries
In the Puchberg area the remains of four castles can be found that have been documented since the high Middle Ages . In the 12th and 13th centuries Puchberg belonged to the County of Pitten and thus to the Duchy of Styria . The border with the Duchy of Austria was formed by the Piestingtal , which was fortified with castles like Starhemberg . The use as border castles is therefore out of the question for the fortifications in the Puchberg Basin, rather it was about seats of lower nobility.
In 1357 the possession of Puchberg and Losenheim came to the Stuchse , the Lords of Stixenstein. On April 14, 1381, the Losenheim and Puchberg festivals, together with Stixenstein and Vöstenhof from Albero, the Stuchs von Trautmannsdorf, were passed on to Duke Leopold III. sold. From 1387 to 1394 the goods of Duke Albrecht III. pledged to Hans von Liechtenstein, but remained sovereign property. During these years Stixenstein became more and more important. Losenheim Castle may have been left to decay since the 15th century, while Puchberg Castle was used until the 19th century.
The farmers from the Puchberg district had to pay their taxes to Stixenstein. From a land register of the Stixenstein rule from 1500 it emerges that the Puchberg farmers delivered two thirds of the grain toe to Stixenstein, one third went to the provost of Sankt Ulrich in Wiener Neustadt. In addition, the farmers of the rule were over for forced labor committed.
In 1488 Stixenstein was taken by Matthias Corvinus . The castle and the associated Puchberg area remained under Hungarian rule for a long time . It was not until the beginning of the 16th century that the Hungarian troops were repulsed.
With a letter of purchase dated December 24, 1555, Stixenstein as well as Puchberg and Losenheim were transferred to Count Hans Hoyos; the possessions had already been pledged to him by King Ferdinand on August 27, 1547. In 1595, the Hoyos family acquired Gutenstein, which became the center of the rule.
Turkish times - 17th century
As a result of the siege of Vienna , the Ottomans also came to Puchberg in 1683. The residents fled to the Alleluja cave on Himberg. The Turks became aware of a fireplace and killed everyone in the cave. Only a woman with a child who had not previously been given shelter in the cave, as it was feared that the child's screams could betray the refugees, is said to have survived the slaughter. At the beginning of the 19th century, the Schneeberg author JA Schultes claims to have found human bones in the Alleluja cave.
Another part of the population fled to the baptismal font below the Schneidergraben on the Schneeberg. The name is due to the fact that the children were baptized with the water from the spring there .
The Turks ravaged the houses and the rectory in 1683. The matriculation books of 1686 document the renovation work: historical. Text: “Again the parsonage has been honored again, the Khir Stal and Stadel, as well as the Kuchel and leading Hauß vaulted. Unter mich Hanß Georg Mitis… “ The Turks kidnapped at least five married women from the residents who had not fled into the woods; From the wedding protocol it can be seen that the citizens of Puchberg, Laurentius Johannes Khikher, Mathias Khrumpökh, Simon Khern, Sebastian Haussmann, Hans Khrumpökh and Philipp Gallher were allowed to marry again. The further fate of the abducted women is not known.
The plague - 17./18. century
In 1679 the plague reached the neighboring communities, but spared Puchberg. The Puchberg population was less fortunate in 1713. The plague was brought in by carters who delivered boards and coal to Vienna . 102 people died in the following 22 weeks.
The dead were buried in three places; the chapel on Gratzenhöhe marks one of these places. On the road to Grünbach am Schneeberg there is a wayside shrine with the year 1713 about 200 meters after the Puchbergerhof. The third burial place is at the so-called Lastergrube at the end of Neusserweg. The plague column under the two chestnut trees at the beginning of Sierningstrasse does not indicate a grave site. Rather, the column was erected to commemorate the victims of the plague.
According to tradition, the Puchbergers fled from the plague on the Schneeberg and lived there in tents. After the end of the plague, the Puchbergers vowed to undertake an annual procession on the Schneeberg to a pillar of the Holy Trinity . At the point where the column was, the then owner of the mountain, Count Johann Ernst Hoyos-Sprinzenstein , built the Kaiserstein to commemorate the ascent of the Schneeberg by Emperor Franz II in 1805 and 1807. According to a legend, when mass was read during the procession in 1721 , the chalice fell over and the wind blew away the holy host . From then on, the Puchbergers undertook a procession to the Mariahilfberg in Gutenstein every year on Trinity Sunday.
Napoleon's troops - 19th century
In 1805 and 1809, smaller military units of Napoléon's troops took quarters . During the armistice in 1809, 306 cavalry men were stationed in Puchberg for 18 days. The troops had to be supplied by the local population.
During this time there were no attacks on the population, nor was the property of the Puchbergers damaged by the French . Only one incident in the butcher's house caused unrest during this time, when a French soldier came to the threshing floor, which was being threshed. For unknown reasons, a quarrel broke out between the French soldier and the threshers, which, after wild gesticulation, ended in a bloody scuffle. The commandant of the French was so angry about the treatment of his soldier that he threatened to reduce the place to rubble and ashes. The threshers evaded their punishment by fleeing to the Himberg, from where they only came back after the soldiers had withdrawn.
Development to a health resort - 19./20. century
Ferdinand Bürkel's first ascent was the beginning of numerous hikes on the Schneeberg, many of them outside the Puchberg municipality borders. Descriptions by romantic travel writers such as J. A. Schultes or Franz Xaver Embel were partly responsible for this development.
The Schneebergbahn, built by Leo Arnoldi and opened on April 15, 1897, as well as the rail connection between Wiener Neustadt and Puchberg were decisive for the transition of the place from agriculture to tourism. Guests came from far away to enjoy the experience of getting to the highest mountain in Lower Austria with a cogwheel train without much effort. The railway thus played a large part in the tourist development of Puchberg and Schneeberg. Thanks to its proximity, many Viennese discovered Puchberg as a summer retreat. The Viennese industrialists Friedrich Ehrbar and Ludwig Damböck were the pioneers. In 1899 the construction of an astronomical observatory on the Schneeberg was considered.
The doctor Edmund von Neusser had a villa built in Puchberg around 1900 as a wedding present for his wife, the opera singer Paula Mark. At the same time Ottokar von Chiari had leased the hunt in Puchberg.
A visit to the little church built in honor of his wife Elisabeth led Emperor Franz Joseph I to the summit of the Schneeberg in 1902. Members of the imperial family were then guests in Puchberg for a few summers.
From 1902 to 1904 the first municipal water pipeline and the elevated tank are built. The source was drawn at the foot of the Öhler in the north of Puchberg and is still in operation today.
In 1909, after eleven years of construction , the hydroelectric power plant powered by the Sierning was built in the gorge between the Buchberg and the Himberg, in Ödenhof . The cadastral municipality Rohrbach im Graben was supplied with electricity with an output of 120 kilowatts . The residents had to register on a list when they wanted to obtain electricity. Because of the rapidly growing demand, the power station soon had to be expanded to 300 kW. After the community was generally supplied via the public power grid, the electricity generated was fed into the public grid. After the First World War, the water turbine was supplemented by two diesel units. The power plant was operated by the municipality until 1962. The main customers were the Schoeller-Bleckmann steelworks in Ternitz. The new owner set up a rubber goods production facility in 1963. In 1983 and 1996, the small power plant was given new owners who again limited themselves exclusively to electricity production. The power plant, which is now running in automatic mode, is currently still in operation with the units from 1909.
The last court ball music director Carl Michael Ziehrer spent the summer of 1915 in Puchberg. 1923–1925 the philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein taught in elementary school. Shortly afterwards the scholar Paul Kammerer was a guest.
In the period after the First World War , it was above all the Vienna-Aspang railway , as the operator of the Schneeberg Railway since January 1, 1899, which massively promoted tourism in Puchberg and attracted numerous tourists with inexpensive tariff offers. Even in the economically difficult times of the 1930s, Puchberg had not lost its attraction for tourists and summer guests.
On September 19, 1939, at 1:15 a.m., Puchberg was shaken by an earthquake of level seven on the Mercalli-Sieberg scale . Some of the buildings suffered severe damage and boulders came loose from rock faces. In Losenheimerstrasse, a boulder of around 15 cubic meters fell on a house, killing two people. The road to the Ödenhof district was buried under masses of rocks and rubble and had to be blown free.
Second World War to this day
Towards the end of the Second World War there was heavy fighting between March 26 and May 8 between the Keitel Combat Group of the 37th SS Volunteer Cavalry Division and the 99th Rifle Division or parts of the 1st Guard Mechanical Corps, which was deployed in the Puchberg area of the 4th Soviet Guard Army, which in addition to bloody losses led to severe damage in the local area. The German front line last ran over the Gahns, the Hotel Hochschneeberg and the Sparbacherhütte to the Klostertaler Gschaid and on to the Rohrer Sattel. According to the Puchberg parish register of deaths, 204 people lost their lives, including 34 Russian soldiers.
After the Second World War, tourism became increasingly important again. The poet Christine Busta and the writers Friederike Mayröcker and Ernst Jandl spent several summers in Puchberg.
Taking this trend into account, the chairlift on the Himberg was built in 1949 , which was the first in Lower Austria.
In 1960, a directional radio station for the armed forces was put into operation on the Hochschneeberg as part of the Goldhaube air surveillance system .
In order to position itself as a spa community, the Kurmittelhaus was built in 1963, which was later converted into a spa hotel.
In 1968 a sewage treatment plant was built at the foot of the Himberg and the sewerage of the community began.
In September 1989 the leisure and event center was opened, which includes the Schneeberghalle , the outdoor swimming pool, the tourist office , the community library and a restaurant. The multi-purpose hall offers space for up to 700 people and is used for sporting events, concerts, theater performances and celebrations. There is a climbing wall and a weight training room in the hall.
The recognition as a climatic health resort with a healthy climate brought Puchberg numerous visitors. Many people feel drawn to the healing air, especially in summer. In winter the place is very popular because of its ski area. In 1991, the increasing winter sports activities were taken into account with the installation of the first snow cannons .
The rack railway to the Hochschneeberg was equipped with new trains; Train stations and stops have been adapted. A water pipe and sewer system were installed on the Hochschneeberg, replacing the laborious transport of fresh and waste water by cog railway.
An antenna station for mobile communications was built on the Himberg.
At the Schinkenmeierhof on Marias Land in Rohrbach im Graben, the private owner rebuilt a five-hectare lake with construction work from 2011 to 2019, which was still recorded in the Josephine land survey of 1768, but had already disappeared in the Franziszeische land register in 1820.
population
Population development
The municipal area is relatively sparsely populated with a population density of 32 inhabitants per square kilometer (for comparison: Lower Austria has 83, Austria 98 inhabitants per square kilometer). As in many smaller towns in the Neunkirchen district, there has been a tendency to migrate to the surrounding cities and to Vienna over the past thirty years.
The first census in 1869 recorded 2249 people. Afterwards a big increase started and in 1923 3330 inhabitants could be counted. As a result of the Second World War, the population decreased. By 1971 a slight increase in population started again and with 3406 inhabitants the highest level in the history of Puchberg was recorded. Since then, the population goes back and fell to the census of 15 May 2001 under 3000 inhabitants. In addition to the strongly negative birth balance (comparison 1991 to 2001: −133), the also negative migration balance (−54) was decisive for this . In terms of the birth rate in particular, Puchberg (−4.4%) is well below the values of the Neunkirchen district (−1.6%) and the state of Lower Austria (−0.5%).
Population structure
On 1 January 2007, the population was 2,688 ( 1333 m ale / 1,335 female). Of these, 340 were under 15 years of age (178/162), 1700 between the ages of 15 and 60 years (789/726) and 648 were over 60 years old (366/467). Most of the women were between the ages of 65 and 69 (116 total) and most of the men were between 40 and 44 (126 total). On January 1st, 2008 Puchberg only had 2664 inhabitants.
Origin and language
In 2001, 2,752 (97.1%) of the Puchbergers stated German as a colloquial language. Another 17 people (0.6%) spoke mainly Hungarian , 15 (0.5%) spoke Croatian , eight (0.3%) Serbian , five (0.2%) Turkish , three (0.1%) Czech , one spoke Burgenland-Croatian and the languages of 33 inhabitants were unknown. Of the population (as of 2007), 2592 (96.4%) citizens were Austrian citizens, 96 inhabitants (3.6%) are not. 23 (0.7%) of the Puchbergers were citizens of Germany , nine (0.3%) were former Yugoslav citizens. They were followed by two Turks (0.1%) and one American and one African , five (0.2%) citizens were stateless. In 2001 around 4.4% of the Puchbergers were born in a country other than Austria.
politics
Due to the decline in the population entitled to vote (the number of main residents is decisive) in the last census, the number of municipal councils fell from 23 (2000) to 21 (2005).
- With the municipal council elections in Lower Austria in 1990, the municipal council had the following distribution: 13 SPÖ and 10 ÖVP.
- With the municipal council elections in Lower Austria in 1995, the municipal council had the following distribution: 13 SPÖ and 10 ÖVP.
- With the municipal council elections in Lower Austria in 2000, the municipal council had the following distribution: 13 SPÖ, 8 ÖVP, 1 new team, and 1 FPÖ.
- With the municipal council elections in Lower Austria in 2005 , the municipal council had the following distribution: 12 SPÖ and 9 ÖVP.
- With the municipal elections in Lower Austria in 2010 , the municipal council had the following distribution: 11 SPÖ, 9 ÖVP, and 1 FPÖ.

coat of arms
Blazon : Split; in front a golden, open flight in blue, behind in gold on green ground a green deciduous tree.
The right half of the coat of arms shows open, golden eagle wings on a blue background (sky), the left a green beech tree. Above the drawing it says “PUCHBERG a. Schbg. ". However, the lettering is not always used.
The Puchberg coat of arms was first used in the 13th century by the Puchberg family. At that time only the motif of the right side of the coat of arms was used, framed with a medieval font. The coat of arms has only had its current appearance for a few centuries.
religion
The time when the Puchberg parish was founded is not known. It cannot be proven that this, as A. Adam and F. Bürkle believe, had already existed in 1109. Fridricus, pastor of Puchberg, mentioned in 1264 , is probably attributed to Scheiblingkirchen , which was called "Puchberg" until the 15th century. In any case, Puchberg does not appear as a parish in the papal central register of 1285. Puchberg is documented as a parish for the first time in the 15th century in the list of benefices of the Sankt Ulrich Provost, to which it came as a branch or vicariate of the mother church in Fischau or St. Egyden . The parish was assigned to the Association of the Diocese of Salzburg until 1783 and was subordinate to the Reichersberg Monastery . In 1784 the parish was assigned to the diocese of Wiener Neustadt before it came to the diocese of Vienna in the same year . A total of 21 pastors have worked in Puchberg since 1631.
The majority of the Puchberg population is of the Roman Catholic denomination. In the 2001 census, the proportion of people with a Roman Catholic faith was 88.0% (2493 people). This was followed by 1.8% (52) with a Protestant and 0.9% (26) with another faith. 8.4% (239) of the Puchbergers were without religious belief.
There is a church and some chapels in Puchberg, and there is another church on Hochschneeberg.
The parish church of St. Vitus was built in 1428. Since the church was destroyed twice, it had to be rebuilt just as often. In place of today's wedge-shaped roof, the church tower was previously equipped with a dome and later with an onion dome .
The Elisabethkirchlein stands near the terminus of the Schneebergbahn ( 1800 m above sea level ) and was built in memory of the murdered Empress Elisabeth between 1899 and 1901. A fair is celebrated there at least once a year. Emperor Franz Joseph visited the church in 1902 and took part in a mass.
A mass is also celebrated once a year at the Schober Chapel on the Schoberalm on the Gutenstein municipal boundary.
Economy and Infrastructure
Workplaces and employees
According to the 2001 census of workplaces , there were 154 workplaces in Puchberg with 860 employees, 724 of whom were employed. The most important branch in the municipality is therefore the hotel and restaurant sector with 39 companies (190 employees). The trade sector is also of importance ; Repair of motor vehicles and consumer goods with then 25 workplaces (98 employees) as well as the production of goods with 124 employees and 14 workplaces. The rather low employment opportunities in the municipality cause a high commuter rate. In 2001, 671 Puchberg residents were employed outside of their home community for 332 in-commuters.
Plaster and sawmills
While searching for coal in Puchberg, gypsum was found in the 1860s . The co-founder of the Wiener Neustädter Lokomotivfabrik , Wenzel Günther, set up a kiln and a plaster mill in Bruck , a slope of the Eichberg . In 1888 there were two plaster works; the Jurnicek business owned by the later mayor of Puchberg am Schneeberg, Wilhelm Frey, in Bruck and that of Johann Clemens Rigler's business in Vierlehen (since 1868). Gypsum mining used to be only carried out underground , with the material extracted from the tunnels being brought to the surface with hunts . Since the second half of the 20th century, gypsum has only been extracted in open-cast mining . The mining areas are now clearly visible on the Pfennigwiese.
An inventory of the industrial structure in 1888 also lists two lime kilns near Hengstberg, nine grain mills and 38 sawmills.
Thanks to the wealth of forests in the region, the sawing industry was predominant in Puchberg for centuries. The power of the water was used to cut the boards at almost every stream. The saws in the Puchberg area were designed according to the principle of the so-called Venetian gate - a development that goes back to Leonardo da Vinci . The saw was not brought up to the trunk, but the trunk to the saw blade. The saw blade was moved by a crank system driven by the water wheel. The advancing electrification in the 20th century led to the decline of many sawmills, as they could not be adapted to the new technology. While there were a total of 38 sawmills in Puchberg around 1900, there are currently only three gang saws left; these are no longer operated with water power, but with diesel engines.
Agriculture and Forestry
In 1999 there were 164 agricultural and forestry operations in Puchberg, which cultivated a total of around 7346 hectares. 52 businesses were full-time and 103 part-time. Nine businesses were owned by legal entities. Compared with 1995, the number of farms continued to decline, particularly in the field of part-time farmers, while the number of farms in full-time employment increased by 2%. Overall, the number of farms fell by 19.6% between 1995 and 1999, while the cultivated area remained almost unchanged. These companies employ 350 people.

At the 1999 livestock census in Puchberg there were 154 cattle farmers with 2,799 livestock. Around 62% of the livestock (from 68 cattle farmers) were cattle on the pastures in Puchberg and on the Schneeberg plateau. Most of them (457) were dairy cows. This is followed by the female farm and breeding calves category with 397 animals. Only 19 cattle were slaughtered calves . Since there is no milk processing plant in Puchberg, the milk is sold to the Lower Austrian dairy cooperative . A small part is used for personal consumption. Most of the meat is also sold.
tourism
Tourism has been the market town's main source of income since the turn of the 20th century. The Schneeberg was already a popular destination in the past; the refuges already had around 10,000 visitors a year. Thanks to the double season, Puchberg is one of the best-visited communities in Eastern Austria. There are two main attractions in Puchberg: the Schneebergbahn and the Salamander ski area, both of which are operated by the NÖ-Schneebergbahn GmbH .
The rack railway to the Hochschneeberg was opened on June 1, 1897 to the Baumgartner station and on September 25, 1897 to the Hochschneeberg station. She had the largest part in the change to tourism. The distance from the village of Puchberg via the Hengst to the Schneeberg is 9.7 kilometers. The train overcomes a height difference of 1218 meters. The track width is one meter and the maximum gradient is 200 ‰. As operating resources, the Schneebergbahn has two diesel- powered Salamander multiple units , a powered end car and five steam locomotives from the time the railway was built, as well as several historic passenger cars. For reasons of cost, only two of the steam locomotives are currently operational. In 2011 a further Salamander control car + intermediate car were purchased from the company carvatech (formerly Swoboda).
The ski area is located in the district of Losenheim, about 6 kilometers from Puchberg. It was named after the model of Schneebergbahn GmbH, the fire salamander , and has slopes with a total length of around 7.5 kilometers. The infrastructure consists of three lifts, a chairlift , a drag lift and a children's lift .
After the 1971 built two-seater had not met the requirements, a quad chairlift type was after two years of planning and financing lead 4 CLD company Doppelmayr newly built in 2005 and opened on December 8th. In addition to the NÖ Schneebergbahn GmbH, more than 40 private investors from Puchberg were involved in the financing . The project was also funded by the state of Lower Austria and the municipality of Puchberg. The total cost was around 4.5 million euros. With a total length of 1145 meters, the chair lift overcomes a 337 m difference in altitude to the mountain station at 1207 meters above sea level. This detachable chairlift travels at a maximum speed of 5 m / s and is operated with typically 30 chairs in summer and 40 in winter.
The drag lifts were set up several years ago by the owner of a nearby inn to stimulate winter tourism. The ski area is well attended. A snowmaking system including a storage pond ensures that there is guaranteed snow . In addition, ski schools are regularly in use during opening hours. The construction of a mat slope for year-round skiing and tobogganing on plastic will be built in August 2016, and it should go into operation at the end of October.
Both the cog railway and the chairlift are operated (as of 2016) by the Lower Austrian Transport Organization (NÖVOG).
On December 1, 2016, a matt ski slope , the wonder meadow of the Lower Austrian Transport Organization (NÖVOG), including lighting - with an area of 5000 m², the largest in Austria to date. You can ski here all year round on slippery and fall-absorbing plastic slats. With

The open-air swimming pool , which opened on July 8, 1894, was one of the first public bathing establishments in Lower Austria. The construction took place after an initiative of the beautification association, which had to issue partial promissory notes in order to be able to finance the construction costs of 1900 guilders. The community provided the land to the extent of 907 " Geviertflafter " (square fathoms ). Because of the great popularity, the area in the area of today's spa park had to be expanded a year later. After the pond was built, it was used to preheat the pool. In the early 1950s, the community took over the operation of the bath. In 1954 this was renovated, expanded and equipped with a preheating system. In 1971 the newly founded tourist association took over the operation of the bath. The pool was sealed with polyester and an oil-heated water heating system was built. After the official requirements could no longer be met in 1987, the old swimming pool was closed.
