history
Early days
It is assumed that the Bad Ischl area was inhabited as early as the Hallstatt and Latène times. 15 BC The area became part of the Roman Empire . The presence of the Romans is documented by two inscription stones and scattered finds, one of which was lost in the 18th century, probably in the course of the church renovation. This, a consecration stone to Mithras from the period after 170, contained the reference to a statio Esc (ensis) (customs post). A Roman tombstone from the 3rd / 4th centuries was preserved. Century. Another consecration stone was found in the nearby Kienbachklamm for the Celtic / Roman god Mars Latobius . Noricum remained a Roman province for half a millennium. In the course of the great migration , the inner Salzkammergut probably experienced a noticeable decline in population, which was, however, compensated for by immigration of Bavarians and Slavs in the following period . These areas had already recovered under Charlemagne , but were thrown back again by the forays of the Hungarians.
Around the year 1000 the country, which at that time belonged to the Bavarian Mark ob der Enns , finally recovered from the destruction. The population increased noticeably, and salt production was also resumed. Through their followers, the Lords of Ort, the Styrian margraves (from 1180 dukes) from the Otakare family extended their territory to the inner Salzkammergut in the first half of the 12th century. They were inherited by the Babenbergs in 1192.
Since then, salt has once again become the most important economic factor in what is now called Ischlland.
The place was first mentioned in a document in 1262 as Iselen , later as Yschl .
High Middle Ages and the salt conflict
Than a century later, now already under the rule of the Habsburgs - the basic rule Wildenstein - a new salt mine in Goisern was discovered and released to break down, it came by the Archbishop Konrad IV. From Salzburg to open conflict to the salt monopoly .
The anger of the archbishop grew even greater when the abbot Heinrich von Admont , a Habsburg favorite, also mined salt in the Gosau valley and was busy extracting salt in Hallstatt . Having to share his salt trade seemed unbearable to the proud archbishop, so a furious battle for salt production and the salt trade broke out. The archbishop brought in a complaint in which he referred to the monopoly - supposedly only due to him. This objection was not recognized by the Habsburg Duke Albrecht I , which once again increased the anger of the archbishop. Albrecht set up fortifications in the endangered places. For example, in Hallstatt a protective station, the Rudolfsturm , was built, from which one could see the whole country far.
When the rumor arose one day that the Duke had died of the effects of poisoning, Archbishop Konrad prepared for the final extermination campaign against the newly created salt pans that he hated. He had the mining sites demolished and the associated settlements reduced to rubble. But his triumph did not last long, as Albrecht I had not died at all and was now taking revenge on the archbishop in a bloody feud.
Peace was made in 1297. This agreement ushered in an era of construction and peace. New mountains were used to extract salt. From 1419 Wildenstein Castle was the seat of the - from 1452 imperial - carers who administered the Habsburg salt trade.
The main town of the Ischlland at this time was Lauffen (first documented mention in 807, today cadastral parish of Bad Ischl), 1275/80, at the time of the Battle of Dürnkrut / Jedenspeigen in 1278, with which the Salzkammergut finally came to Habsburg , by King Rudolf I. was raised to the market (the oldest market in the Salzkammergut). For "special merits", Duke Albrecht III. 1392 special rights to the village of Ischl. Under Emperor Friedrich III. Ischl was raised to market in 1466. In 1656 the name ' Salzkammergut ' for the property around Bad Ischl was mentioned for the first time in a document.
In 1563 the Ischler Salzberg was opened up by the mine in Perneck. The Pfannhaus (Saline) on the Traun was built in 1571 (called Kolowrat brewhouse from the 19th century ). For generations of Ischlern, salt became the most important economic basis, in addition to the previous transport, now also in direct production. This means that Ischl is becoming increasingly important compared to Lauffen. In 1595 the brine pipeline was built from Hallstatt via Goisern to Ischl, in 1604/7 the brewing hut Ebensee with an extension of the brine pipeline.
Reformation and Counter Reformation
In the 17th century, membership in Protestantism had to be bitterly fought for. Lutherans who immigrated from Salzburg had to renounce their religion in the course of the Counter Reformation . Anyone who opposed the order was imprisoned or even executed. Many Protestants, as originally Schloss Pernegg local barons of Racknitz , left Austria. Protestantism could be suppressed by force for about 100 years until the movement openly demanded its right to freedom of worship. The request was rejected and the rebellious Protestants were asked to either convert to Catholicism or to emigrate to Hungary and Transylvania (see Landler ). Since most of the affected families had lived in the Salzkammergut for generations, the majority of Lutherans stayed in the country and swore - at least outwardly - from their belief. But it was only a matter of form, because in truth they continued to practice their religion secretly ( cryptoprotestantism ) until Emperor Joseph II finally officially allowed Protestantism with the introduction of the tolerance patent in 1781.
Health resort and "imperial city"
Ischl's heyday began in the 19th century, despite its economic significance. In 1821 the Viennese doctor Franz Wirer came to Ischl and found out about the successes of the saline physicist Josef Götz, who had been testing the effects of brine baths on sick saline workers since 1807. The first about 40 (foreign) spa guests appeared in 1822. In the following year, the number of guests doubled. 1823 can be seen as the actual founding year for the first Ischl spa as a brine bath. The brine bathing room ( Tänzelbad ) built by the saline cashier Michael Tänzl in his house on the Traun had to be expanded as early as 1825.
Ischl soon rose to become a health resort of European importance. The number of guests who came to Ischl - including State Chancellor Metternich and Archduke Rudolf - grew steadily. In 1827 the archducal couple Franz Karl and Sophie , the parents of the future Emperor Franz Josef, took a cure here for the first time. In 1827/1828 Franz and Magdalena Koch built the Posthof (Gasthof zur Post), the first hotel in the Salzkammergut.
The high point of Ischl's heyday was the period from 1849 to 1914 as the imperial summer residence under Emperor Franz Joseph I. In 1853, Franz Joseph became engaged to Elisabeth (Sisi) in Bavaria in what was then the Seeauerhaus , which is now the museum of the city of Bad Ischl.
Since the summer of 1863, the important composer Anton Bruckner has always come to Ischl for the Emperor's birthday and for other festive occasions of the imperial family as court organist. Bruckner liked to describe himself as "the emperor's organist". On July 31, 1890, at the wedding of Archduchess Marie Valerie and Archduke Franz Salvator, he played variations on the imperial anthem on the organ , combined with the Hallelujah from the Messiah by Georg Friedrich Handel . Then Bruckner was invited to dinner at the Hotel Post . On August 2, 1890, Bruckner gave his own organ concert. He often visited his friend Attwenger. A plaque on the parish church commemorates Bruckner's stays. There is also an entry by Bruckner in the guest book of the Zauner confectionery .
Ischl was the summer residence of many other popular composers, above all Johann Strauss , Franz Lehár and Johannes Brahms , but other musicians from the turn of the century also regularly spent the summer here; many of them were also looking for proximity to the local court. This is how Ischl developed into a meeting place for artists of international renown during the time of the Danube Monarchy. Even today, operetta weeks are held every year during the summer months in the Kurhaus. Important writers like Mark Twain , Theodor Herzl and Franz Werfel also stayed in Ischl.
In 1906 Ischl was renamed Bad Ischl .
On July 28, 1914, Emperor Franz Joseph wrote the Manifesto To My Peoples in the Imperial Villa in Bad Ischl ! in which he declared war on the Kingdom of Serbia . This should be the beginning of the First World War .
After the end of the monarchy
In 1920 Bad Ischl was given the name of health resort by the state government .
After the July coup, the Nazi activists Franz Unterberger and Franz Saureis were arrested in Bad Ischl for possessing explosives. They were found guilty at the trial in the Vienna Regional Criminal Court , sentenced to death on August 20, 1934 , and executed . During the National Socialist era , they were honored with an honorary grave in the Bad Ischl cemetery .
In 1940 Bad Ischl was promoted to town .
From February to December 1942, there was a satellite camp of the Dachau concentration camp in Bad Ischl .
After the end of the Second World War in 1945, Bad Ischl belonged to the American zone of occupation in occupied post-war Austria . A DP camp was set up by the American military administration to accommodate so-called displaced persons . The camp was managed by UNRRA .

Ischl was given the market coat of arms in the 15th century by Emperor Friedrich III. awarded. Since the original document was destroyed in a fire in 1490, the coat of arms of Emperor Maximilian I was confirmed again in 1514.
