Geology and soils

The landscape of the municipality is part of the Bohemian Massif , which goes back to a very old mountain range, which was formed by the Variscan mountain formation in the Paleozoic ( Carboniferous ). After the strong erosion of the former high mountains, during the Alpidic mountain formation in the Tertiary, the crystalline basement was abolished by several 100 meters, causing fractures and faults. Subsequently, sediments were deposited in the Tertiary and Quaternary periods . The dominant rocks in the municipality are older, coarse-grained granites of the Weinsberg granite type . It is one of the first masses of magma to solidify during the folding of the mountains, has a typical coarseness and causes a restless landscape character with rapid alternation of peaks and valleys. In the municipality, soils of the brown earth - Podzol series of crystalline predominate, with the dominant soil type being the silicate brown earth, which forms on granites and gneisses. The light to very light soils are generally poor in nutrients and their use depends on the depth and the water supply. The soil type is generally loamy sand or sandy loam, with the dominant form of humus in dry locations being mild , otherwise mull . In addition, there are podsol soils in the valley area of ​​the Daglesbach.

Landscape and vegetation

According to the nature conservation spatial division of the federal state of Upper Austria, the municipal area largely belongs to the spatial unit of the Central Mühlviertel highlands and partly to the southern Bohemian Forest foothills . According to the natural division according to Hermann Kohl , the community area lies in equal parts in the undulating highlands with its notched valleys of the so-called “Ranna-Mühl-Rodl-Hochland” or the “Ameisbergzug with the Gottsdorf mountains” of the so-called Wegscheider mountainous country. The municipality can be divided into two sub-areas, the east and south of the municipality being an intensely agricultural area with residual structure and the west and northwest being a wooded mountainous area. The east and south are mainly used for agriculture, with grassland farming dominating. The sub-area shows slight differences in height at around 600 meters and includes numerous structural elements such as small forest areas (mainly coniferous forests, but also deciduous and mixed forests), hedges, orchards and individual trees. The grassland, which is extensively important in terms of nature conservation, is limited to remaining areas. The forested mountainous area in the west and north of the municipality is mainly used for forestry, with coniferous forest predominating. In between there are small forest areas with mainly deciduous trees. Agricultural areas are largely used intensively as grassland. The mountainous region has heights between around 630 and 900 meters and rises continuously northwards to the Lutzenkreuz.

politics

Municipal council

The municipal council, as the highest body of the municipality, has 19 seats and is elected every six years in the course of Upper Austria-wide municipal council elections. The municipality board consists of five members, with the Austrian People's Party (ÖVP) providing four municipal boards with the mayor, the vice-mayor and two other members and the Social Democratic Party of Austria (SPÖ) having another municipality board after the 2009 municipal council elections .

The strongest parliamentary group in the Putzleinsdorf municipal council has always been the ÖVP, which from 1973 onwards always achieved an absolute majority of votes and mandates and often a two-thirds majority. Since 1973, the ÖVP has recorded election results between 61.4 percent (1997) and 85.6 percent (1973). From 1973 onwards, like the FPÖ, the SPÖ ran for every municipal council election and was able to score between 8.8 and 19.3 percent. The SPÖ was predominantly the second strongest party, only in 1991 and 1997 the SPÖ fell behind the second place when it appeared on a list of citizens. The citizens' list was represented in the municipal council between 1991 and 2009, but did not stand for election in 2009. During this time it had between 11.1 and 28.4 percent of the vote. The Freedom Party of Austria (FPÖ) was represented in the period from 1973, initially between 1973 and 1985 with one or two mandates in the municipal council. After that, the FPÖ did not stand for two municipal council elections before moving back into the municipal council in 1997. In the last municipal council election in 2009, the ÖVP achieved 66.0 percent or 13 seats, the SPÖ came up with 19.3 percent or three seats and thus, like the FPÖ, achieved their best result to date, with the FPÖ gaining 1.6 percent and three mandates came.

mayor

The mayor has been determined by direct election since 1997 , with no absolute majority for a candidate in a runoff election . In the first direct mayor election, ÖVP candidate Berta Prechtl won 72.4 percent against the candidates from the SPÖ and the citizens' list. In 2002 Prechtl resigned, whereupon the previous Vice Mayor Alois Schaubmayr (ÖVP) took over the office of mayor. He was confirmed in office in 2003 by the population with 80.2 percent, whereby there was no opposing candidate. In 2009 Schaubmayr was re-elected with 60.3 percent, the SPÖ candidate received 39.7 percent. At the end of 2013, Schaubmayr resigned from the mayor's office. Since the mandate waiver occurred after the 4th year of the municipal council period, the election of the mayor was not to be carried out by the population, but by the municipal council. The by-elections were therefore held at the municipal council meeting on February 8, 2014. Bernhard Fenk was elected as the new mayor, and Gerald Streinesberger as the new board member and deputy mayor.

Other options

As in municipal council elections, the ÖVP also dominates regional elections in the municipality, although the dominance of the People's Party has decreased somewhat. Nevertheless, in the period from 1973 onwards, the ÖVP was always able to become the party with the highest number of votes, and before 1997 it even had a two-thirds majority. The ÖVP achieved its best result between 1973 and 2009 in 1979 with 83.8 percent, since then it has lost almost successive votes, whereby in 2009 it alternated the SPÖ and the FPÖ with 63.0. The SPÖ achieved 7.5 (1997) to 18.8 percent (2003) in state elections since 1973, with it being the second strongest party until 1985 and 2003. The FPÖ recorded between 2.6 (1985) and 15.3 percent (1997) for itself and came in second place between 1991 and 1997 and 2009. In the last state election in 2009, the ÖVP came first with 63.0 percent. The SPÖ only got 11.3 percent and thus slipped behind the FPÖ, which came to 13.4 percent. The Greens achieved 6.0 percent.
