history

Eidendorf belonged to the Rottenegg lordship . In 1356 Eitendorf was mentioned in a document. In 1693 Josef Schmiedtauer (Schmidtauer) was named by Oberwallsee zu Eitendorff, who had acquired the property from Leonhard Hohenstein. After this the property came to Georg Freiherr Ehrenreich von Crompichl (Cronpichl). As late as 1817, Eitendorf was entered as a patio in the country table; also in 1850 Eidendorf was run as an estate with a tithe tax . At that time it belonged to the Ottensheim tax district and the Eschelberg district court . The last owner lived in 1890 and was popularly called "Annamirl".

Until 1910, Eidendorf had a castle-like appearance. The one-story building was surrounded by a moat . As a result of a fire, the building stock was destroyed and demolished in 1914. The Meierhof , which still exists today, is number 1 in Eidendorf. Other houses in Eidendorf also had a relationship with the castle (e.g. meat bank). Today the place of the castle is built over with single family houses.
