history

Roman milestone from the 4th century

Chapel in Scheiblingstein

People have lived in this area of the Vienna Woods for at least four millennia. In 1914, residential pits from the Neolithic Age were discovered on Simonsberg in Weidlingbach . In addition, there is evidence in this area of a population of Veneto Illyrians (approx. 500-300 BC) and of Celts from the second century BC.

The Scheiblingstein belonged in the first century BC. To the Kingdom of Norikum , which was founded in 15 BC. Was annexed by the Roman Empire . The rule of the Romans lasted until the fifth century. At this time the first road was built over the Scheiblingstein, which led from Comagena (Tulln) via Königstetten, the Scheiblingstein, the Exelberg and along the Alsbach to Vindobona .

A Roman milestone can still be found on the Scheiblingstein, which has been mentioned repeatedly in documents since 1324. Archaeologists are convinced that this stone from the time of Emperor I. Valentinian comes. The stone, a simple round column, rounded at the top in the shape of a cap, was referred to in a document from the 17th century as a "Scheibling stone or mill stone" and thus gave the mountain and the place its name. Pottery shards from jugs and bowls, as well as tools and coins from the 2nd, 11th, 12th, 13th and 14th centuries were found in 1982 and prove that the Scheiblingstein was inhabited both in Roman times and in the Middle Ages .

Since the 17th century there have been records of an old manor and two other houses and their inhabitants, as well as finds of pieces of mother-of-pearl, which indicate that the lumberjacks and charcoal-burners who settled at Scheiblingstein at that time also worked with the grinding of mother- of- pearl .

During the second Turkish siege of Vienna in 1683, parts of the troops of the Duke of Lorraine and the Polish King Sobieski gathered in the Tullnerfeld, moved over the Scheiblingstein and, with their powerful intervention from the Exelberg, made a decisive contribution to the victory of the relief army and the expulsion of the Turks .

With the completion of the new road from Königstetten to Dornbach in 1863, the Scheiblingstein became for many Viennese a destination for a so-called “big country trip” in a horse-drawn carriage. Well-known personalities, such as the surgeon Theodor Billroth and the composer Johannes Brahms , often wandered to the Scheiblingstein, as can be seen from their letters.

Settlement began in the 20th century: in 1932/33, 220 parcels were sold to Viennese citizens who only lived here for the weekend. The economic situation of the 1930s and the chaos of war in the 1940s, however, kept the extent and type of settlement within very modest limits. The electrical supply could be achieved in 1950, because a lot of voluntary work was done by the population.

In 1953, on the initiative of Cäcilia Pressberger, the residents of Scheiblingstein decided to build a church. The pastoral care of the Scheiblingstein was taken over by the dean Karl Mühldorf from the Sudetenland . The church was built in 1954 and 1955 with the help of almost everyone from Scheiblingstein.

The St. Hubertus Church was consecrated on July 3, 1955 by the Archbishop of Vienna, Cardinal Innitzer .

The Scheiblingstein experienced a further increase in population through the parceling of the Lehrerwiese in 1969.

On November 13, 1970 dean Karl Mühldorf died. The youth home, which was built from 1970 to 1974 through the free collaboration of many Scheiblingsteiners and the Belgian building order , was later named after him.

In 1979 the place was connected to the water supply network of NÖSIWAG , and in 1998 to the gas network of EVN . On February 17, 2016, the landline internet structure was connected to fiber optic technology.

According to a decree issued by Christoph Cardinal Schönborn, Catholic Archbishop of Vienna, on July 11, 2012, the Scheiblingstein sub-community was separated from the parish of Maria Rast (Mauerbach-Steinbach), Dean Purkersdorf, effective October 1, 2012 Weidling parish , Klosterneuburg deanery , assigned. After a period of 205 years in which Scheiblingstein was administered from Mauerbach, although not politically, but in the ecclesiastical area, it was returned to the parish of Weidling or to the Augustinian monastery of Klosterneuburg , in whose area of responsibility Scheiblingstein was already before 1807 heard. On June 2, 2017, a completely restored statue of Hubertus was erected in front of the church.

In 2014 the village of Weidlingbach got an official place symbol , in which the Scheiblingstein milestone is also shown. On January 1, 2017, the district affiliation was changed from Vienna-Umgebung (WU) to Tulln (TU).
