history

Copper engraving from the Topographia Austriae superioris modernae ( Georg Matthäus Vischer , 1674)

The place Pulgarn was first mentioned in 1111 as Pulgarin in a document issued by Bishop Ulrich von Passau zu Lorch . The place name Pulgarn , as well as the monk's name Pulgar in the monasteries Mattsee and St. Peter , is associated with the 9,000 Bulgarians who, according to the Fredegar Chronicle, fled from the Avars to Bavaria and Franconia in 631/632 . Most of them were killed by the Bavarians on the orders of the Frankish king Dagobert I (623–639) . However, some Bulgarians are likely to have stayed on Bavarian territory.

Right from the start, the place was conveniently located on the north bank of the Danube. Around 1300 Hans von Kapellen founded a hospital here , in which the brothers of the Order of the Holy Spirit settled in 1313 , the Pulgarn Monastery . It was devastated by Bohemian Hussites in 1424 and 1468 , then in 1485 the religious fled from Bohemia and allied Hungary and King Corvinus . In the course of the Reformation , Emperor Maximilian II dissolved the monastery and declared Pulgarn to be a chamber property , i.e. rulership property. In 1609/12, in the course of the Counter Reformation , Jesuits were settled. In the following Peasant War in 1626, droves under Christoph Zeller plundered the monastery. In 1773 the Jesuits were expelled from the country under Maria Theresa , Pulgarn came to the Religionsfonds , and in 1836 it was bought by the St. Florian monastery . Most recently, it served as a refuge for the St. Florian Canons during the Nazi era.

May 17, 1914, the Linz-Gaisbach-Wartberg railway connection was opened.
