history

Rohr in the mountains (middle right below) and surroundings around 1873 (recording sheet of the state survey )

Before the birth of Christ, however, the area was part of the Celtic Kingdom of Noricum and belonged to the wider area of ​​the Celtic hill settlement Burg on the Schwarzenbacher Burgberg , which was the main town for the entire northeastern kingdom. Later under the Romans , today's Rohr was then in the province of Pannonia .

Due to its inaccessible location, the area of ​​Rohr was settled late. The Lords of Traisma are named as the first owners of the forest area around Rohr . In 1194 the area fell to the Duchy of Steyr . After the construction of Gutenstein Castle , which was first mentioned in 1220, Rohr came under the influence of the Gutenstein rule, which from then on was to remain the administrative center for the area until 1848 ( Gutenstein Regional Court ).

The name auf'm Roer was first mentioned in 1427. In 1470 the church of Rohr , which previously belonged to the parish of Schwarzau , was raised to its own parish. In the 16th century, the Reformation also had an impact in Rohr . Count Sigismund von Herberstein hired a Protestant preacher. But already in 1569 a Catholic priest was named again.

In 1595 the Barons von Hoyos became the new owners of the Gutenstein estate, and in 1622 the parish was officially rebuilt. In 1716 the Rohr church was enlarged and an onion dome was built in 1761.

In the second half of the 18th century, a school was founded in a farmhouse, which was given its own schoolhouse in 1782.

In 1848 the manorial authority over the residents of Rohr ended and a first mayor was freely elected. In 1877 a post office was opened and a stagecoach route to Gutenstein was established. Between 1884 and 1894, the roads to Gutenstein and over the Ochsattel into the Traisental were built, ending the previous isolation of the community. Another connection was established in 1910 via the Haselrast to Gutenstein.

In the years 1878/79, after the old church was demolished, a new church building was built, and a new schoolhouse was built from 1886 to 1888.
