Sarmingstein is a district of St. Nikola an der Donau in Strudengau in Upper Austria .

Geography, traffic

Sarmingstein is located about three to four kilometers east of the main town of the market town of St. Nikola an der Donau and is separated from the easternmost town of St. Nikolas, Hirschenau , by the municipal areas of Waldhausen im Strudengau and Nöchling , which at this point extend to the Danube or as far as Donau Straße B 3.

Sarmingstein borders in the north and east on the village of Gloxwald of the market community Waldhausen, in the south separated by the Danube, on the cadastral community Freyenstein of the Lower Austrian community Neustadtl an der Donau and in the west on the community capital St. Nikola.

The houses of the settlement laid out as a street village are separated in the south from the Danube by the Donau Straße ( Donauuferstraße ) and in the north from the wooded southern slope of the Danube valley by the Donauuferbahn . The Sarmingbach enters the village from the north (not visible in the picture below, directly behind the terrace) and flows into the Danube in the center of the village.

The place has a stop for the Austrian Federal Railways , which has been the terminus for trains coming from St. Valentin and Linz since the railway line was closed for passenger traffic in 2011 .

The state road L 575 coming from Waldhausen joins the Donau Straße directly in the village .

Sarmingstein has a landing stage for small excursion boats on the Danube, which was last renovated in 2002.

history

Donau Straße B 3 in April 2013 with the Sarmingstein tower ruins (in danger of collapsing since summer 2013)

Sarmingstein was first mentioned in 985 in a tithe index written by Bishop Pilgrim von Passau as "Sabanich", which, like the river "Sabinich" (Sarmingbach) mentioned in 998, is derived from the Slavic žaba for toad or frog . Otto von Machland donated his Säbnich Castle to the Augustinian Canons in 1147 to found a monastery. As early as 1161, the monks moved to the Waldhausen monastery they had built . Under Heinrich Jasomirgott , the property became a castle again just a few years later, which was destroyed and rebuilt several times.

The ship masters from Sarmingstein traded in firewood, construction wood and grapevines. Like the ship masters von Grein and St. Nikola, they belonged to the Ybbs ship masters guild. As early as the 15th century, the citizens of Sarmingstein had the legal right to trade in their wood products in Vienna .

Sarmingstein Castle above the village served the population as a refuge in times of war and was equipped with defensive towers in the 15th century, of which the Sarmingstein tower ruins are still preserved as part of a bastion, while the castle itself fell into complete disrepair during the Thirty Years War . The defense tower forms the motif of the coat of arms given to the Sarmingstein market by Emperor Maximilian II on November 19, 1572 .

The village of Säbnich was formed along the narrow bank under the castle, where in 1361 the Waldhausen monastery was given the right to hold a free weekly market on Fridays and a free fair on Sundays in St. Kilian. In 1511 Sarmingstein was elevated to a ban market alongside St. Nikola. In the later centuries the place lost its importance and was not defined as a tax or cadastral municipality during later reforms .

Before the First World War , local groups of workers' associations were founded in 1908/09 due to the settlement of stone workers for the stone quarries in Gloxwald in Sarmingstein.

A boulder known as Sarmingstein in the village of Sarmingstein was blown up by soldiers of the German Wehrmacht during the Second World War because they could not pass the bottleneck with their tanks.

The materials extracted in the stone quarries in Gloxwald were brought by cable car to a specially built loading station at Sarmingstein station on the Danube Bank during and after the Second World War and loaded into wagons. In 1949 Schoellerbank took over the Gloxwald quarries from the Helbich family. The number of employees rose to 200. At that time, 60 wagons were produced daily, which made the quarry the second largest in Europe. Among other things, material for the construction of the Danube power plant Ybbs-Persenbeug was supplied at the end of the 1950s .

In the course of the construction of the Danube power station Ybbs-Persenbeug, the storage space of which encompasses the entire Strudengau, the Danube road between Grein and Persenbeug was expanded in the 1950s. Among other things, the Schallberger Schiffmeisterhaus with its four round towers in Sarmingstein was demolished in 1957.

Flood

Due to its exposed location on the banks of the Danube, the area on the Donauuferstraße was repeatedly inundated by floods. When the Danube floods in 2013 in June, the terrace (right in the picture) was flooded about ten centimeters high.
