Schlägl was a municipality in Upper Austria in the Rohrbach judicial district and Rohrbach district in the upper Mühlviertel with 1,213 inhabitants (as of January 1, 2015). On May 1, 2015, the municipality was merged with the neighboring Aigen im Mühlkreis to form the new municipality of Aigen-Schlägl , after a referendum held in both municipalities on September 7, 2014 yielded a positive result.
geography
Schlägl lies at 544 m above sea level. A. Höhe in the upper Mühlviertel . In terms of the nature conservation spatial structure, the northeastern municipal area belonged to the Bohemian Forest spatial unit , the center and the southern and southwestern part of the municipal area belonged to the southern Bohemian Forest foothills . The border between the two units runs along the closed tree line of the so-called "High Bohemian Forest". The extension was from north to south around 7.6 km and from west to east up to around 10.2 km.
The area of the municipality covered 28.45 km², making Schlägl the sixth largest municipality in the district. Neighboring communities were Aigen in the Mühlkreis in the west, Peilstein in the Mühlviertel in the extreme southwest, Oepping in the southwest, Berg bei Rohrbach in the south and St. Oswald bei Haslach in the southeast. In the north and east, Schlägl borders the Czech Republic and Okres Český Krumlov .
Geology and soils
The landscape of the former municipal area 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 ). This resulted in various granites and gneisses. Furthermore, between the Bohemian Forest and the valley of the Große Mühl there is the so-called pile fault from northwest to southeast of easily erodible mylonites . To the northwest of this fault there is mainly cordierite paragneiss, on the northern border there is weathered loam from the Würm Age . In the area of the village of Wurmbrand there is also Weinsberger granite. To the south of the fault line, Schlieren granite, as well as Mauthausen granite and titanite stain granite occur primarily. In the area of the Große Mühl, a strip of river deposits has formed, with typical weathering phenomena such as wool sack weathering predominating, which led to the formation of block castles, block litter and boulders.
The soils in the former municipal area are characterized by a lack of nutrients and a high proportion of potassium. They also have a poor phosphorus and calcium supply. The soil type is loamy sand or sandy loam. The soil quality depends on the depth and the water supply, with the grain size of the rock deciding whether the site is water-rich or dry. The rocky brown earth is the most important type of soil in the area, it is found below 1000 m above sea level as low-base to acidic, shallow to medium-sized soil that was formed on solid or debris. Furthermore, loose sediment brown earth has formed on gravelly or fine-grained starting material. However, due to litter use and spruce forests, real brown soils without signs of podsolic dynamics have become rare. Over 1,000 meters above sea level incurred in heavy precipitation mainly podzols and semipodsols the needle litter of coniferous forests also acts stale. Gley exists mainly in the area of springs, streams, ditches, hollows and at the foot of slopes, with wet, acidic meadows dominating here. Other types of soil that occur are pseudogley , bog soils and moor soils in the area of cold-air lakes in small depressions on streams or on locations without drainage as well as tendril-like soils over block debris.
Landscape and vegetation
The former municipality of Schlägl is characterized by the Bohemian Forest and its foothills. Measured by the nature conservation spatial structure of the state of Upper Austria, the closed forest area lies in the northeast of the municipality with Trautwald and Irrenwald, Igelholz, Bavarian Au, Moosau, Torfau and Semmelau in the Bohemian Forest spatial unit , the remaining former municipal area belongs to the southern Bohemian Forest foothills and is a natural 2000 Area designated. To the south is the valley area of the Große Mühl with settlements and agricultural use, whereby this landscape area is separated from the Große Mühl, which is also a Natura 2000 area, into a northern and a southern part.
The valley area has a forest share of around 28%, with the western part south of the great Mühl particularly being extremely wooded. There are also larger forests near the Große Mühl, at the eastern end of the municipality and at the edge of the Bohemian Forest. Mostly these are mixed leaves and needles, which, however, often have a dominance of spruce that is not appropriate to the location. In agriculture, permanent grassland predominates in the municipality, which is mainly used for dairy farming, and arable farming is also not insignificant. Due to the terrain morphology, there is a largely small-scale plot structure as well as a small-scale structure with a relatively low intensity of use.
Waters
Several small streams run in the area of the Bohemian Forest in the northeast of the area, which drain to the northeast towards the Czech Republic. These are the Schwarze Runse / Černá stoka, the Schrollenbach and the Igelbach / Ježová. In the vicinity of the Große Mühl, the main river in Schlägl, there are several border brooks, namely the Galgenbach on the border with Aigen, the Wurmbrandbach on the border with St. Oswald and the Schwalsödter Bach on the border with the municipality of Oepping. They all have a predominantly natural course with mostly gaps in the accompanying wood. In addition, there are numerous small ponds in the municipality, which are mainly used as fish ponds, partly also as extinguishing water ponds and mostly have a natural bank design. Larger ponds in Schlägl are the Glashüttenteich and the Ziegelteich. Furthermore, there are numerous groundwater ponds in abandoned quarries as valuable secondary habitats.
