history
The still existing Stift Reichersberg was founded in 1084 by Wernher von Reichersberg. The place and monastery were Bavarian until 1779 and came to Austria after the Treaty of Teschen and the Innviertel (then 'Innbaiern'). Briefly Bavarian again during the Napoleonic Wars , Reichersberg has been part of Upper Austria since 1816. After Austria was annexed to the German Reich on March 13, 1938, the place belonged to the "Gau Oberdonau". After 1945 the restoration of Upper Austria took place.
Augustinian Canons - Reichersberg Abbey : Dietburga and Wernher von Reichersberg had the complex built. In the 11th century, after the fatal accident of the only son, the aristocrat Wernher von Reichersberg converted his property into a monastery. Since then, his foundation has been owned by the Augustinian Canons. After a major fire in the 17th century, the monastery buildings were given their current baroque appearance. From 1940 to 1945, during the Nazi era, an aviation school was set up in the monastery, but the monastery was not dissolved. In an end- phase crime on May 2, 1945, the Augustinian canon Rupert Haginger and the monastery manager Theresia Lauß were shot by two Volkssturm men.

- ↑ On May 2, 1945, two Volkssturm men in Reichersberg shot the Augustinian canon Rupert Haginger (* 1898) from Mehrnbach and the monastery manager Theresia Lauß (* 1893) from Vordernebelberg (see Gottfried Gansinger: National Socialism in the Ried im Innkreis District: Resistance and Persecution 1938 -1945 , Innsbruck-Wien-Bozen (Studien Verlag) 2016 ). A white flag was waving at the house of the Lauß sisters (Reichersberg No. 100, not far from the monastery ) . In the act, the Volkssturm men invoked the motto of Gauleiter Eigruber : "If you capitulate in a cowardly manner, you will be legally shot" (see Ernst Gansinger: Places of Remembrance , in: Church newspaper of the Diocese of Linz, edition: 2013/18; April 30, 2013, online ).
