geography

Reicherting

The cadastral municipality of St. Alban is located in the southeast of the municipality of Lamprechtshausen and comprises the four localities (from north to south)

  • Gresenberg
  • Reicherting
  • Riedlkam
  • Saint Alban

with the settlements of the same name. These include the hamlets of Röd (Riedlkam) and Eitelsberg (Sankt Alban) as well as the Zauner (Reicherting) and Maier in Hof (Sankt Alban) farms.

St. Alban borders on the following other cadastral communities:

The cadastral community has an area of ​​around 6.4 km² and extends from the valley of the Oichten to the hills to the west of it. The landscape is slightly hilly, the area is around 430–500 m above sea level. Most of the area is agricultural land, in the south and in the extreme northeast there are small forest areas.

There are no significant bodies of water in the St. Alban area. The Oichten as a border river to the neighboring municipality of Nußdorf am Haunsberg receives two small tributaries. In the west, St. Alban has a small share of the water protection area, which is mainly located in the cadastral municipality of Schwerting.

St. Alban is slightly off the Salzburger Landesstraße 204 from Berndorf near Salzburg to Weitwörth (municipality of Nussdorf am Haunsberg).

history

The area has been populated at least since the High Middle Ages. Due to its lower location in the Oichtental - compared to the surrounding area - the local settlement has been called "valley" since earliest times (and popularly until today). The first written mentions of the place are therefore the names “de tale” ( Latinized : from valley ) from approx. 1145 and “in loco tal” ( in the village of Tal ) from 1170. The naming of St. Alban followed the construction of a small church dedicated to this saint. A mixed name of the place can be found from 1397 with St. Alban im Tal . There were also the spelling variants Tale , Thal and Tholle .

Around 1170 a Lambert (Lampert) handed over his estate in the area of ​​Tal to the Benedictine Abbey Michaelbeuern and from then on the grounds were subject to this abbey, just like other areas of today's municipality of Lamprechtshausen.

Until the 19th century, the area around Sankt Alban was subject to the Nussdorf Care Court, which was itself part of the Laufen Care, City and District Court. Sankt Alban or Thal formed one of 12 quarters - an administrative unit at that time - that were assigned to the Office Lambrechtshausen. Another quarter within today's cadastral community of St. Alban was Riedlkam. Towards the end of the 18th century there were eight farms in Riedlkam, and fewer than five in Sankt Alban.

In 1839 Thal is described as "a village of 13 houses, 18 residential parties, 79 inhabitants, 1 hour south of Lambrechtshausen against the Oichten."

Since 1850, St. Alban has belonged to the then newly created district of Weitwörth and the district of Oberndorf , which was relocated and renamed a few years later .

Culture and buildings

Hubertus Chapel

West of Eitelsberg is a chapel dedicated to St. Hubert ( Hubertus von Lüttich , † 727), the patron saint of hunters. It was built by the local hunters in memory of deceased hunters and inaugurated on October 26, 1974. The high, pointed roof, reminiscent of a church tower, is architecturally striking.

An important cultural object is the branch church consecrated to Saint Alban of Mainz († around 406) in the hamlet of Sankt Alban . The building was erected in the 12th century.

The church was built at the behest of the monk Lampert, who lived in the nearby Benedictine Abbey of Michaelbeuern from 1164 . In 1397 the added presbytery was consecrated. Around 1630 a wooden ceiling and a pilaster were installed, which partially covered part of the wall paintings from the 14th century on the eastern nave wall. These were brought to light again during a restoration in 1963. The high altar with a statue of St. Alban and the western gallery date from the 17th century. The building is a listed building .

Until 1930, so-called head urns existed in the church, containers made of clay containing grain, which the surrounding peasants set up to ask and thank. Even today, "weather fairs", ie church services, are held here every year in spring, asking for favorable weather for a rich harvest.
