geography

Scheffau is located some 25 kilometers southeast of Salzburg and 14 southeast of Hallein , and is in the lowest Lammertal between Tennengebirge Northern Slope and Black Mountain  ( 1584  m above sea level. A. ), who has to Osterhorngruppe the Salzburg Limestone Alps and the Salzkammergut Mountains expected becomes. The location forms the central area of ​​the community.

Scheffau is not a place in the true sense of the word, but extends over about 6 kilometers in a valley basin along the Lammer. The location mainly comprises the villages of Unterscheffau , a group with the Ulrichskirche (historic main town), the village of Rabenstein (the only village in the municipality) and the Rotte Griesau , then somewhat separated from the local area of Heuberg and Oberscheffau , which are scattered Houses with the Rotten Bernhof and Engelhardt , the hamlet Winklau , and the scattered settlement Wieser .

To the east the valley narrows to the Klausgraben , which can only be traversed on foot , but the Lammer breaks into this basin from the north, the bottleneck is the Lammeröfen , which the Lammertalstrasse  (B 162) overcomes with the pass at Purgstall . This situation arises from the pre-group of the Tennengebirge with Roadberg and Fichtlhofberg embedded in the Lammertal .

The cadastral community Scheffau (and also the local area) includes not only the localities of Scheffau but also Purgstall , as well as the entire southern mountain area in the Tennengebirge up to the Wieselsteinen , Hochwieskogel and Scheiblingkogel , then in the east over the Roadberg and in the north on the Schwarzen Berg.

history

The wooded Scheffau came in 1130 through a donation by the Archbishop Konrad I of the Salzburg cathedral chapter .

Scheffau was first mentioned in a document as a Scheffawe in 1249. The -au name describes the widening of the valley. The first Ulrichskirche probably also dates from this time , as the mother parish for the whole of Lammertal, it was known as a pilgrimage church . Today the church is a branch of Golling ( Deanery Hallein ), while the inner Lammertal, i.e. also the rest of the Schaffau municipality, is looked after by Abtenau .
