Sankt Peter is located directly west of Freistadt, around the Petringer Berg  ( 704  m above sea level ), the last elevation between Feldaist and Jaunitz , which flows into the Feldaist in the south of Freistadt.

The municipality border Freistadt – Waldburg runs north – south, the western part of the settlements belongs to Waldburg, the eastern part to Freistadt. The two localities comprise around 100 buildings with around 300 inhabitants, half of which are in each municipality.

The village of St. Peter itself is located in the Waldburg municipality at 698  m above sea level. A. north of Petringer Berg, with a small group in Freistadt along Schwandter Straße (ceded to Freistadt in 1938). The area around Sonnbergstrasse, St. Peter Strasse and the Kreuzweg is known as Petringerfeld , but has been part of the city of Freistadt for many centuries (within the castle keep ).
The local area includes - clockwise around the summit - the Freistädter farms Fleischhof, Fossenbauer, Fuchsenhof, Sonnhof (closed) and Krempl , the settlement Fliederstraße in the south; as well as in Waldburg the Rotte Prandl , the scattered houses Jaunitz with the homestead Lengauer , the scattered houses Steinkellner and the homestead Geyer , as well as - for historical reasons - the Semmelhof , on the Jaunitz 3 km northwest, still behind Sonnberg near Freudenthal .

The area belongs to the Central Mühlviertel highlands .

History and infrastructure

The parish of St. Peter was mentioned in a document as early as 1241, it is believed to be one of the mother parishes of the parish church of Freistadt . It is also assumed that the church was founded in the 12th century and is therefore older than the city of Freistadt - the Romanesque building was rediscovered during excavations in 1964. At that time, the land belonged to Garsten Abbey . Documents to prove this have been lost. The All Saints' Chapel right next to the church was donated as a burial place in 1370 by Hermann dem Zinespan, a town from Freistadt. Rasteyn Castle (also called Fuchsenhof), in the southeast of the village near today's Freistadt train station, was named Rastayn as early as 1377 .

The church was destroyed in the Hussite Wars of 1419–1434 and rebuilt by Mathes Klayndl in the 15th century , the exact dates of construction are unknown. The year 1467 is written on the triumphal arch.

St. Peter was independent from Freistadt, although it was in the keep of the city. The large parish included areas of today's parishes Freistadt, Waldburg, Rainbach and Reichenthal . Since the middle of the 13th century, however, the pastor of Freistadt was also the pastor of St. Peter; It was not until 1785 that the parish was dissolved and St. Peter was placed under the parish church.

Around 1820 the place already comprised 28 houses, 39 residential parties and 124 inhabitants, and belonged to the municipality of Freistadt (= city, not the rule of the castle of Freistadt).
After the Zinespan foundation capital was used up, the All Saints Chapel was profaned under Josef II and converted into a barn. After a fire in 1834 it was renovated and consecrated , and in 1842 the Way of the Cross with 14 stations up from Freistadt was built (since then also the Chapel of the Holy Cross ).

In 1938, at the time of the Anschluss , when large municipalities were created everywhere in Austria, the municipality of Freistadt was enlarged in the south and southwest, with which the southeastern districts of St. Peter, which had belonged to the Waldburg cadastral municipality of Schwandt , also came to the city. The  old structure is still preserved in the name of the Trölsberg-Schwandt (004) counting district .

To the west of the village down to the Jaunitz is the 40 hectare garrison training area (GÜPL) Geyer , which is looked after by the Freistadt Tilly barracks (armored staff battalion 4).

Sightseeing and tourism

The Europaweg E6 (Finland – Turkey, here also Austrian long-distance hiking trail 05, the north-south trail and also 105, the north forest ridge trail ) crosses from Bad Leonfelden via Freistadt up into the Waldviertel . The horse-drawn railway hiking trail  (PE) crosses north-south .
