The responsible judicial district is Rohrbach in Upper Austria .

geography

Sarleinsbach lies at 561  m above sea level. A. Höhe in the upper Mühlviertel . In terms of the nature conservation spatial structure, the north-western municipality area belongs to the southern Bohemian Forest foothills , the southeastern municipality area belongs to the central Mühlviertler highlands spatial unit , with the border between these two spatial units running south of the villages of Schölling and Weißgraben. The extension of the municipality of Sarleinsbach is 8.3 km from north to south, and 9.4 km from west to east. The total area is 36.85 km², making Sarleinsbach the second largest municipality in the district. Neighboring communities are Kollerschlag in the north-west, Peilstein in the Mühlviertel in the north, Oepping in the north-east, Rohrbach-Berg and Arnreit in the south-east, Hörbich in the south and Atzesberg in the south-west.

Geology and soils

The landscape of the municipality is part of the Bohemian Massif, which goes back to a very old mountain range that was created by the Variscan mountain formation in the Paleozoic ( Carboniferous ). After the strong erosion of the former high mountains, during the Alpidic mountain formation in the Tertiary, the crystalline basement was abolished by several 100 meters, causing fractures and faults. Subsequently, sediments were deposited in the Tertiary and Quaternary periods . The subsoil of the municipality consists mainly of Weinsberger granite. In the area between Sprinzenstein and Mairhof there is a large diorite island lined with pearl gneiss. The rock emerges very compactly as rock castles in the edge of the valley in areas such as the Kampmühle or the village of Spritzenstein. Steinköbel appear in the cultivated land only in the village of Dorf. The relief of the community area is very hilly and characterized by a marked rise in terrain from the southeast to the northwest. In addition, there are small flat areas distributed over the entire municipality as well as steep slope areas in the southeast and steep, large slope areas in the far west on the ascent to the Ameisberg. The soils in the municipality are creepy products of primary rock weathering or loamy in depressions and valley levels.

Landscape and vegetation

The municipality can be roughly divided into three sub-areas with regard to its landscape units. In the north of the municipality, with the mountainous ascent to the Ameisrücke, there is a wooded mountainous area, which, based on the nature conservation classification, is part of the Southern Bohemian Forest foothills . This area is characterized by a high proportion of forests (around 50 percent), which are predominantly spruce forests with significant proportions of beech and fir trees. Agricultural land is cultivated in particular as intensive grassland, and cereals in particular are grown. The only forms of settlement in this area are single farms (or houses) and small hamlets. To the south, the ridge of the Ameisberg is followed by a forest-topped hilly landscape, which in the center of the municipality extends in the shape of a tongue far to the south. Around 38 percent of this hilly landscape is planted with forest, mostly in island form or in trains. It is mainly about small-parceled farm forests, which are mainly located on moderate to steep slopes as well as on knolls and in sloping valleys. The main tree species here is spruce, often mixed with pines, sometimes firs and a small amount of oak or beech are also found. The agricultural areas of this part of the landscape are operated in mixed meadow and arable farming, with cattle farming or the cultivation of grain and, to a lesser extent, silage maize. Most of the grassland is used very intensively and on a large scale, extensive grassland only exists on small areas near the forest edge. Compact hamlets or small farming villages as well as a few individual layers appear as settlement forms in this area. The south of the municipality is an agrarian plateau landscape with low to high (Mühltal-Sprinzenstein) forest. Agriculturally, this part of the municipality is used in a similar way to the forest-topped hilly landscape, but here arable farming predominates over grassland management. With the town of Sarleinsbach, this type of landscape is home to the main town of the municipality, which is followed by an extensive network of new settlements and individual, sometimes very large, commercial settlements. In addition, there are compact hamlets or small farming villages as well as some individual houses and mills.

population

Population structure

In 2014 there were 2,262 people in the municipality of Sarleinsbach, making Sarleinsbach the sixth largest of the 42 municipalities in the district. In terms of population density, the municipality with 61 inhabitants per km² was in the middle field of the municipalities in the district area. In 2001, 98.6 percent of the population were Austrian citizens (Upper Austria 92.8 percent, Rohrbach district 96.9 percent), until the beginning of 2013 the figure remained at 98.7 percent (Upper Austria 91.1 percent, Rohrbach district 96.9 percent ) practically unchanged. In 2013, only 29 foreigners were counted in the municipality, almost exclusively from EU countries. The 90 community citizens who were not born in Austria had their country of birth almost exclusively in an EU country. In 2001, 97.9 percent of the population committed to the Roman Catholic Church (Upper Austria: 79.4 percent), 0.6 percent each were without a denomination or Islamic faith.

The average age of the community population in 2001 was below the national average. 22.4 percent of the residents of Sarleinsbach were younger than 15 years (Upper Austria: 18.8 percent), 61.4 percent between 15 and 59 years old (Upper Austria: 61.6 percent). The proportion of residents over 59 years of age was 16.2 percent, well below the national average of 20.2 percent. As a result, the average age of the population of Sarleinsbach changed in all segments. The proportion of people under the age of 15 fell to 15.0 percent as of January 1, 2013, while the proportion of people between the ages of 15 and 59 increased significantly to 70.4 percent. The proportion of people over 59 years of age fell slightly to 14.6 percent.

Population development

The current municipality of Sarleinsbach has experienced a slightly below-average population development compared to the Rohrbach district since the late 19th century. While the number of inhabitants in the Rohrbach district remained practically the same from 1869 to 2013, the number of inhabitants in Sarleinsbach fell slightly by around eight percent during this period. The population of the federal state of Upper Austria, however, almost doubled. The population development of Sarleinsbach fluctuated over the last 150 years. Between 1869 and 1934, the population fell almost continuously from around 2,450 to around 2,000, or by 18 percent. Thereafter, the population increased briefly until 1939, only to decrease again to 1953 in 1951. This was the lowest value ever. After 1951 the municipality recorded a population growth again until 2001, since then the population has decreased slightly again. Significant for the population development in the municipality is a high level of emigration and a clear birth surplus. In the 1970s to 1990s, the community recorded an outflow of around 120 to 130 people per decade, but this was more than offset by a significantly higher birth surplus. In the 1990s, however, the surplus of births had already declined and halved from the turn of the millennium, while emigration still increased. As a result, the community has shrunk noticeably since the turn of the millennium.

politics

Municipal council

The municipal council as the highest body of the municipality has 25 seats and is elected every six years in the course of Upper Austria-wide municipal council elections.

The strongest parliamentary group in Sarleinsbach's municipal council has always been the ÖVP, which has always achieved a two-thirds majority since 1945. Between 1945 and 1973 the ÖVP even achieved election results over 90 percent, with its best result from 1955 to 1967 with 100 percent each. According to this, the ÖVP achieved results between 81 and 89 percent between 1979 and 1991, in 1997 it reached 78 percent, in 2003 73 percent. The second strongest party in the Sarleinsbach municipal council was, with one exception, the SPÖ, which, however, never achieved a double-digit result before 1985 and was not represented in the municipal council between 1955 and 1967 due to its non-appearance. In 1985 the SPÖ achieved a double-digit result for the first time with 13.1 percent, subsequently its result fluctuated between around 10 and 19 percent. The FPÖ entered the community for the first time in 1979, but failed when it entered the local council. This only succeeded in 1991 with 4.5 percent. As a result, the FPÖ came up with results between 9 and 12 percent, with the FPÖ in 1997 quickly replacing the SPÖ as the second strongest force. In the last municipal council election in 2009, the ÖVP achieved 69.7 percent or 18 seats, the SPÖ 18.1 percent or four seats and the FPÖ 12.2 percent and three seats. The 2015 municipal council election brought the following results:

• ÖVP: 17 mandates
• SPÖ: 4 seats
• FPÖ: 4 mandates

mayor

The mayor has been determined by direct election since 1997 , with no absolute majority for a candidate in a runoff election . Mayor Maximilian Wiederseder (ÖVP), who has been in office since 1990, won the first direct election with 91.8 percent in the first ballot against the SPÖ candidate, and in 2003 he was re-elected with 93.6 percent with no opposing candidates. In 2008, Wiederseder handed over his office to Roland Bramel (ÖVP), who was confirmed in the 2009 election with 85.1 percent. He also had no opponent.

coat of arms

The first evidence of the market coat of arms with the depiction of ostrich or peacock feathers on a mountain of three can be found in the seal on a file dated July 25, 1571 with the inscription “S. OF . MARCKHT. SARLASPACH ". With a decree of the Reich Governor for Upper Danube on April 30, 1943, the change of the coat of arms was determined by combining the old seal image with a painting in the town hall. The blazon of the coat of arms read: “ In blue on a golden three-mountain, a black peasant hat decorated with three green and gold peacock feathers with a brim bordered by a gold braid and a golden hat cord. “However, this change of coat of arms was reversed by a resolution of the Upper Austrian provincial government on October 1st, 1951 and the original, historical coat of arms was restored. The blazon of this coat of arms reads: " In red on a green three-mountain, three silver ostrich feathers, one from the raised central dome, the other two from the recesses between the central dome and the side peaks ”, the new design by Franz Lehrer from Linz. The meaning of the coat of arms is still unclear today. The municipal colors green-white-green were set by the municipal council on May 16, 1995 and approved on July 17, 1995 by resolution of the Upper Austrian provincial government.

Economy and Infrastructure

Workplaces and employees

In 2001, Sarleinsbach housed the Internorm company, a workplace with more than 200 employees. There were also seven workplaces with 20 to 99 employees. In total, the census of workplaces carried out as part of the census revealed 64 workplaces with 1,006 employees (excluding agriculture), 95 percent of which were employees. The number of workplaces had increased by 11 (plus 21 percent) compared to 1991, and the number of employees by as much as 320 people (plus 47 percent). The most important branch of the economy in 2001 was the production of goods with 14 companies and 682 employees (68 percent of all employees) before trade with ten workplaces and 76 employees (8 percent) as well as the health, veterinary and social services and education. 66 percent of the employees in Sarleinsbachn were blue-collar workers, 26 percent salaried employees or civil servants, 5 percent business owners and 3 percent apprentices.

Of the 1,272 economically active people living in Sarleinsbach in 2012, only 0.5 percent were unemployed. Of the 1261 employees, 293 were employed in manufacturing (23 percent), 165 in trade and 164 in health and social services (13 percent each). Other important industries were construction with 147 employees (12 percent) and agriculture and forestry with 100 employees (8 percent). Of the 1,222 employed people in Sarleinsbach (excluding residents temporarily absent from work), 475 people were employed in Sarleinsbach in 2012, 747 or 61 percent had to commute to work. Of the out-commuters, 443 percent had their place of work in the Rohrbach district and 29 percent in Linz . The most important commuter communities besides Linz were Rohrbach in Upper Austria , Altenfelden , Lembach im Mühlkreis and Berg bei Rohrbach . In return, 972 people commuted to Sarleinsbach, 92 percent of which came from the Rohrbach district.

Transport and infrastructure

Sarleinsbach is opened up by several state roads for individual traffic. The Hanrieder Bezirksstrasse (L 1527) runs through the market and connects Sarleinsbach with Putzleinsdorf to the southwest and Sprinzenstein to the northeast. The Tannberg Landesstraße (L 588) also runs through Sprinzenstein itself and leads from the district capital Rohrbach to the northeast via Oepping in the east over the municipality. To the southeast, the Tannberg state road connects Sarleinsbach with the neighboring municipality of Hörbich and Altenfelden . The Sarleinsbacher Bezirksstraße (L 1532) runs from the market center to the south and further to the south-east until it joins the Tannberg Landesstraße in the municipality of Hörbich. To the north of the market, Kollerschlager Bezirksstrasse (L 1530) branches off from Hanrieder Bezirksstrasse. It opens up the north of the municipality and leads to Kollerschlag .

Sarleinsbach does not operate its own water supply itself. Rather, the main town and most of the village of Ohnerstorf are supplied by a water cooperative. In 2010/2011 the water cooperative built a modern elevated tank on the Kugelberg. The waste water that occurs is disposed of in the municipal sewage treatment plant, which is designed for 4,000 PE . The wastewater treatment plant was built in the early 1990s and modernized in 2003, with the wastewater from the neighboring communities of Hörbich, Atzesberg and, to a lesser extent, also from Oepping being cleaned here. In addition, there are 38.9 kilometers of canals and four larger pumping stations, although further expansion of the canal network is only planned when opening up new settlement areas. At the end of 2011, 56.25 of the households or 61.4 percent of the residents were connected to the sewer network. The majority of the localities do not have a sewer connection, whereby the sewage disposal takes place via cesspools . At the beginning of 2004, the residual waste collection and organic collection were transferred to the Rohrbach District Waste Association, which has been organizing and carrying out waste collection since then. The waste material collection center operated by the district waste association is located next to the municipal building yard.

education

There is a four-group kindergarten in the community, which is run by the parish caritas in a community-owned building erected in 1981. In 2018 an extension with a 5th group and a crawling group was completed. The kindergarten is also attended by children from Hörbich and Atzesberg. The roots of the elementary school are assumed to be around 1250, when Sarleinsbach was made a vicariate and thus the existence of a parish school is accepted. In the 16th century the influence of the market citizens on the school grew, but in the course of the Counter-Reformation the school was again subordinated to the church and the schoolmaster was at the same time sacristan, organist and register manager of the parish. Around 1750, the previously single-class school became multi-class and attended by around 50 students. The old schoolhouse was built around the time that compulsory schooling was introduced in 1774. In 1854 the old school was demolished and a new three-class schoolhouse was built. In 1966 a modern elementary school for around 400 students was built, the old schoolhouse was demolished in 1989. As early as 1973 a new ten-class elementary school was built, with the elementary school built in 1966 being converted into a secondary school. Primary and secondary schools were renovated in 2000. In the 2013/14 school year there were eight classes with just over 100 students in the elementary school. The secondary school was founded in 1966 with two first classes. In 1976, the Hauptschule reached its highest level of total pupils with 355 students and 15 classes. In the 2013/14 school year, around 100 children in six classes attended secondary school. In 2002 the new regional music school Sarleinsbach was opened on the school premises.

Established businesses

The window factory of the Internorm company, founded in 1977, is the largest employer in the region today with around 675 employees.
