history
Roman times
In ancient times, the area was part of the Noricum province . As a connection between Italy and the large cities and forts on the Pannonian Danube Limes ( Carnuntum , Vindobona ), the Semmering route has been of some importance since ancient times. A Celtic coin hoard was discovered in 1902. It contained eight Boische BIATEC silver drachms with double portraits as well as eight smaller silver coins of the Simmering type , where a large depot of similar coinage was also found. This coin find can be seen in a number of other such finds ( Mallnitzer Tauern , Gerlitzen , Moggio Udinese ), which document the southern migration of Boic tribes.
11th to 12th centuries
The valley of the Weißenbach in front of the Semmering Pass, 984 m above sea level, was referred to in the written sources as "Clamme" around 1094 and belonged to the rule of Klamm. It is possible that the place was founded by the lords of Castle Klamm. Around 1160, Margrave Ottokar III. To facilitate trade and travel, create a mule track across the pass (known at the time as "Zerewalt") and build a hospice at its southwestern end point , the nucleus of today's Spital am Semmering . The path to the Semmering began at the plague column and led along the Greisbach to the top of the pass. Since the late Middle Ages, it had been a heavily frequented connection across the Alps and was of great importance for the Italian trade. Because of its steep incline, it was only passable for carts with an additional lead of oxen or horses. From then on, at the latest, the place became one of the most important stage stops for travelers to Italy.
13th to 14th centuries
After the male line of the Babenbergs died out, the foothills of the Alps were temporarily occupied by the Hungarian troops of King Belas IV in 1250 . In 1254 the Semmering area was added to the Duchy of Austria (Bohemian King Ottokar II) in the Peace of Ofen . Schottwien was first mentioned in the Leobner Chronik in 1266 as “oppidum Shadwin” (fortress on the sheath / border of the Viennese sphere of influence). In the same year, thunderstorms devastated the church and all the surrounding vineyards, subsequently 300 people and almost all of the livestock perished. Between 1266 and 1267 the place was granted market rights, the holding of a market for the year 1287 is secured. In the following period it was fortified with two walls, reinforced with towers. In 1270 the Hungarians again occupied the place under King Stephan V. In 1273 the wedding procession of the daughter of King Rudolf I of Habsburg , Clementina, who is to be married to the Duke of Naples, moved via Schottwien to Bruck an der Mur . In 1292 his son and successor Albrecht I marched with an army through Schottwien to relieve Bruck, which was besieged by the Styrian nobles and their allies. In order to get over the heavily snow-covered Semmering, 600 farmers had to shovel the mule track. Since the end of the 13th century, Schottwien was a princely toll station. It is recorded that in 1387 a fee of four Viennese pfennigs was due to transport a full wine barrel. The money was used to repair the hermitage . The income from tolls and pre-tensioning services for the trucks that wanted to cross the pass brought a great economic upswing for the Schottwiener.
15th to 16th century
From 1459 the place was allowed to use its own coat of arms and was granted the privilege of being exempt from tolls. When the Hungarian King Matthias Corvinus occupied large parts of Lower Austria in the 15th century, the gorge, defended by the caretaker Hans Aichelperger, was soon fiercely contested, and the Hungarians only stormed it after a long siege in 1487. In order to ensure permanent control over Semmeringstrasse, Emperor Friedrich III. For the preservation and defense of Castle Klamm, only carers appointed by him personally. In 1511 the St. Vitus Church was badly damaged by fire. In 1518 Siegmund von Herberstein took over the rule of Klamm as a pledge. But he was primarily interested in the revenue from the road toll. The castle was therefore no longer adequately maintained, so that in 1571 - when it was returned to the sovereign - it was already showing serious damage to its building fabric. The keepers who followed him, as well as the rapidly changing pawns, hardly cared about their maintenance. Among them, Georg Bernhard Freiherr von Urschenbeck was particularly hated, as he was almost constantly involved in disputes with the citizens of Schottwien. In 1529 Ottoman troops ravaged the place. Whether they also plundered the castle is a matter of dispute.
17th century
In 1609, the three Archdukes of Austria, Matthias , Maximilian and Ferdinand , advised in the inn "Zum Goldenen Lamm" (today Posthof) on the further procedure for the deposition of their brother Rudolf II. In 1642 Matthias Wägele von Walsegg took over the rule of Klamm , which he received from Emperor Ferdinand III. was awarded as free own . He invested after 1663 a. a. again larger sums in the renovation or maintenance of the castle. In 1679 Schottwien was hit by a plague epidemic which claimed many victims among the residents. After the epidemic subsided, the citizens vowed to build a chapel (Maria Schutz) on the high Göstritz above the "Bründl", which is considered to be medicinal. In the war of 1683 against the Ottoman Empire, the Turks spared the Semmering region. The Lords of Walsegg proved to be generous and prudent landlords. They built a hospital in Schottwien and supported the construction of the chapel in Maria Schutz. With the new development of gypsum stores they created a new source of income for the farmers. In 1637 the train of Empress Maria Anna crossed the Semmering on the occasion of a trip to Graz . According to a circular from Emperor Ferdinand III. Schottwien had to provide 800 pairs of oxen for this .
18th century
In 1716, the Holy Trinity Column donated by Johann Franz Anton von Walsegg was erected on Semmeringstrasse as thanks for the end of the plague . The chapel in Maria Schutz was built from 1721 to 1722; it was replaced by the pilgrimage church in 1728. In the same year, Emperor Karl VI. Create the first paved road (Carolusstraße) over the Semmering and therefore set up his quarters in the Posthof for ten days. The new road gave Schottwien yet another enormous economic boom.
19th century
In 1805 the Klamm Castle was destroyed by the French army under Marshal Marmont . On October 7, 1809, Napoleon stayed personally in Schottwien and took up his quarters in the Posthof. In this context, an alleged assassination attempt on the French emperor is reported. Two miners, the hat man Josef Lohneger, who was considered a good shot, and the squire Johann Pollerus had found out that Napoleon wanted to get a personal impression of the situation on the Semmering Pass. The two men looked for a good firing position in the undergrowth on the Erzkogel, near the Myrthenbrücke, to kill him as he passed. Napoleon had his entourage dismounted at today's “Bärenwirt” and inspected the pass crossing from there. The two prevented assassins had to leave without having achieved anything. In particular, the requisition of horse fodder had turned the local population against the French. These measures primarily damaged the transport-intensive mining industry and the surrounding ironworks. The mining areas were far apart and the wood for charring for the blast furnace in Aue also had to be brought in by cart. The companies ran into great economic difficulties, which in turn threatened the existence of the miners and their families.
In September 1826, at midnight, a fire broke out in a wooden shed attached to the sacristy, which severely damaged the pilgrimage church of Maria Schutz and the rectory. Because of a lack of water and too few helpers on site, the fire could not be fought quickly and effectively. When neighboring farmers and the citizens of Schottwien arrived at the scene of the fire, the whole building was already in flames. The two spiers were completely destroyed. Since the Schottwiener fire engine was successfully brought into the church through the main gate, large parts of the building could be saved. In 1830 the Klamm Castle was partially restored. In the upper part of the village, the Weißenbach was originally only covered with wooden posts, at that time the longest bridge in Austria. During the flood disaster of 1833, they came loose and accumulated on the Trinity Column, which caused great damage to the surrounding houses. The column itself remained intact. Part of the lower fortifications collapsed as a result of the impact of the posts, which were carried away by the floods.
The town's heyday ended on August 17, 1841, when the serpentine road , the route of which still exists today in part as the B 306, was expanded in large bends. After a construction period of three years, it was handed over to its intended use by Emperor Ferdinand I. The lead engineer Felix Tallschini deployed a total of 2500 workers on the construction site. Because of its much lower incline, a leader for the carts was rarely needed. From 1841 to 1842 the Weißenbach in the area of the upper market was put into a canal in order to reduce the risk of flooding and to create more usable area.
On the night of October 17-18, 1846, Josef Ehrenhöfer's house, the Buschenwirt inn (now Haselbacher), caught fire. As a strong wind was blowing on the night of the disaster, the fire spread rapidly to the surrounding buildings. The fires could not be brought under control for a long time, because at that time the entire "Fechsung" (harvest) had already been brought in and large amounts of straw and hay were stored everywhere in the houses and barns. Numerous citizens from Gloggnitz and Neunkirchen also rushed to help to extinguish the fire. A total of 32 buildings fell victim to the fire, including the parish church, the rectory and the manor house. The cause of the fire could not be precisely determined. It was assumed that it was caused by "... dissolute and negligent servants, which the house owner (court of honor) had in his service, whereby so many fellow citizens and residents got into the misfortune". The total damage amounted to over 172,000 guilders. The citizens were generously supported financially by Prince Johann Josef von Liechtenstein during the reconstruction . Most of the destroyed houses were rebuilt on their old foundations. Today's townscape is largely the result of the reconstruction work at that time.
From 1848 on, Carl Ritter von Ghega von Schottwien managed the construction of the railway line over the Semmering. After it was commissioned in 1854, Schottwien finally lost its central function as a traffic junction at the beginning and end of the pass road. In 1889 there were still 15 inns in addition to a "food station" with a total of 200 horses in their stables.
The stage and film actress Adrienne Gessner (1896–1987) was born in the district of Maria Schutz .
20th to 21st century
From 1898 to 1933 Schottwien was the starting point for the automobile races on the ten-kilometer Semmering track, which often attracted up to 60,000 spectators. From April to May 1945 the surrounding area was the scene of fierce fighting between the later German 9th Mountain Division (East) and the Red Army , which tried to penetrate into Styria over the Semmering Pass . 18 houses were completely or partially destroyed in the municipality.
From 1956 to 1958, Semmeringstrasse B 306 was re-routed a third time and thus adapted to the steadily growing car traffic. From 1962 to 1963 a six-story high-rise was built in the center of the village. a. also the gendarmerie, the post office and the branch of the Raiffeisenkasse were housed. The Weißenbach between the "Hirsch curve" and the high-rise building was channeled in 1965.
Between 1986 and 1989 the construction of the Semmering expressway S 6 from Gloggnitz to Greis with a 130 m high and 220 m long prestressed concrete bridge over Schottwien was tackled. In 2004, the connection piece to the expressway tunnel through the Sonnwendstein was finally built . Since then, the market has been far removed from the transit traffic via the Semmering.
Population development
religion
According to the data of the 2001 census , 82.2% of the population were Roman Catholic , 2.2% Protestant , 5.6% Muslim , 1.0% belonged to Orthodox churches , and 6.6% of the population had no religious denomination.
Culture and sights
- Catholic parish church Schottwien hl. Veit: The parish church of Schottwien is consecrated to St. Veit (Vitus) , one of the fourteen helpers in need . The original wooden church on this site was destroyed in the flood of 1266 and replaced by a stone building in the 14th century. The chancel and north aisle were built back between the 14th and 15th centuries, at that time still part of a Karner and the Michael's Chapel. The choir also dates from the 14th century. The church was rebuilt in the late Gothic style in the 15th and early 16th centuries. The church burned down in 1846 and was rebuilt in 1849.
- Its current appearance goes back to the general renovation between 1889 and 1892. In 1890 the tower was torn down and completely rebuilt as a neo-Gothic tower. The glazed roof tiles come from Unter-Themaau ( Poštorná ). The renovation was financed by Prince Johann II of Liechtenstein, at that time the patron saint of the church. Under the high altar is the crypt of the Counts of Walsegg, which was used as a burial place between 1720 and 1827. Franz von Walsegg - Stuppach († 1827) was buried here as the last member of the family . In the main choir on the right, above the entrance to the sacristy, is the figurative tomb of Joseph Leopold Julius Imperial Count von Walsegg († 1742), the former patron saint of Schottwien and founder of the pilgrimage church Maria Schutz . His tomb is adorned with a beautifully crafted marble relief of Walsegg's coat of arms, and his coffin is also in the family crypt under the high altar. Until 1791, the Schottwien cemetery was laid out around the church (some gravestones can still be seen on the church wall) and was then moved outside of the village for reasons of space. The church was a branch church of the Klamm parish until 1783, and St. Vitus has been an independent parish since 1784.
- Marienkirche: The pilgrimage church Maria Schutz , to which a Passionist monastery has been attached since 1925 , also belongs to Schottwien . In 1642 the Wallseggers came into the possession of the Klamm rulership. It was they who built the pilgrimage church that still exists today in the 18th century. Before, there was only one spring, venerated as a medicinal source, with a statue of Our Lady, the so-called Marienbründl. The spring was later taken in a well and is located behind the high altar. As a thank you for the end of a plague epidemic in 1679, the Schottwiener citizens built a chapel there between 1721 and 1722. From 1728 the pilgrimage church, which still exists today, was built on behalf of Count Josef Leopold von Wallsegg. It was inaugurated in 1738. On July 20, 1783, by order of Emperor Joseph II, Maria Schutz was elevated to parish. In 1826 a fire destroyed the roof structures of the baroque onion helmets. They were replaced by temporary pyramid roofs. In 1925 the church was handed over to the Passionist Order. From 1934 Maria Schutz belonged to the Semmering parish. In the course of the restoration from 1970 to 1974 (inside) and 1995 (outside), the tower onion helmets were reconstructed.
- Market fortification Schottwien : In 1254 the Bohemian King Ottokar II. Přemysl was awarded the Duchy of Austria and the Mark Pitten in the Peace of Ofen . To protect against the Duchy of Styria , Ottokar also had Schottwien fortified. Construction of the first fortifications began in the 13th century. Using the topographical conditions, the market fortification - first mentioned in a document in 1349 - formed two dams above and below the town, the remains of which are still preserved today, mostly from the 16th century.
- Posthof: The Posthof originally emerged from two independent inns: from the Schildwirtshaus “Zum Goldenen Lamm”, whose owners had been serving since 1524, and the inn “Zur Post”, known since the 16th century. In his oriel room many historically significant personalities such as B. Maria Theresa, Pope Pius VI. and Napoleon Bonaparte. In 1822 the two buildings were combined to form the Posthof and after the fire disaster of 1846 they were covered with a uniform roof. The lantern on the building dates back to the 19th century. The inn was closed in 1910. The post and telegraph office was also housed here until 1964. Today the Posthof serves as a residential building.
- Goldene Krone tavern: Today house no. 14. The Schildwirtshaus was the leading inn in Schottwien for three centuries. Michael Höß is known as the landlord from 1616. One of its owners, Leopold Angerer, was considered the wealthiest citizen in town in his time. At times there were up to 30 leader horses in his stables. He donated the cemetery expansion and the cemetery chapel. From 1848 to 1854, the Goldene Krone housed the construction office of Carl Ritter von Ghega, who managed work on the Semmering Railway from here.
- Doctor's house: the community doctors practiced here until around 1960, and a specialist doctor again since 2011. In the back yard there used to be a stable building for the harness horses - not only inns provided this. Originally workshops were housed here (carpenters, cooper, weavers, etc.). In the house, a wooden beam from 1564 can still be seen. After being used as the Mobileum Transport Museum, beer brewery and furniture store, it now serves as a residential building.
Economy and Infrastructure
From the Middle Ages to the middle of the 19th century, the town's economy was based mainly on the pre-tensioning services, the transport of goods and the catering of travelers in its numerous inns. Sometimes up to eight horses were necessary to cross the steep Semmering Pass. Members of the money and high nobility, who often roamed Schottwien, preferred to spend the night in the “Goldener Lamm” or the other shield inns “Schwarzer Adler” and “Goldene Krone”. Ancillary trades such as blacksmiths, wagons and saddlers also flourished. In 1798 there were reports of 15 inns and hostels in the municipality. In the soft shale zone there are numerous deposits of magnesite, iron ore and (especially in Schottwien) gypsum. Viticulture also played a certain role in the Middle Ages. Today the Brettner brewery is located here.
A paper mill can be found in Schottwien before 1675 . After Thomas Wurz, who owned the mill until 1714, the company came into the ownership of the papermaker Anton Kloss in 1787. In 1820, the paper factory was registered with Martin Blöhsy (also: Blössy), a bourgeois paper merchant, resident in Schottwien - life: before 1675 until after 1877.
- Non-agricultural workplaces in 2001: 39,
- Agricultural and forestry holdings according to the 1999 survey: 25.
According to the 2001 census, the number of people in employment at the place of residence was 307; the 2001 employment rate was 44%.
traffic
- Railway: Schottwien is on the southern railway . There is the Klamm-Schottwien stop where regional trains stop in the direction of Payerbach-Reichenau and Semmering or Mürzzuschlag . There are also regional express trains to Vienna and Mürzzuschlag in the morning and in the evening during the week .
safety
Fire brigade: The Schottwien volunteer fire brigade was founded on October 18, 1868 by Franz Krenthaller. Until then, the Schottwiener citizens were responsible for the fire watch and fire fighting and the market judges for the coordination . Night watchmen , equipped with a lantern and a halberd, had to patrol the town every hour on the hour and check that everything was okay. In addition, you should also pay attention to the observance of curfew. Their accommodation was in the gate tower on the lower market wall. The first verifiable “fire props house” stood at the point where the entrance to the Raiffeisen bank branch is today. At the end of the 19th century the fire fighting equipment was transferred to "… Krafts Scheuer leased by Kastner (today Elektro-Grubner), the fire hut was used for construction purposes." This fire hut stood near the southeast corner of the parish church opposite the sacristy, today house number 24. After several unsuccessful requests to the market town of Schottwien for the construction of a new armory, the general assembly of the FF threatened to dissolve it with a resolution of May 21, 1903. Under this pressure, the municipal administration finally gave in and a new armory was built on plot 594, which was handed over to its intended use on August 14, 1904. In the course of the construction of the S 6 bridge, it was removed again and the fire brigade's equipment moved to the former elementary school, Schottwien No. 27, in 1978, which it has shared with the Schottwien Music Association since then. In 1995 the crew quarters were redesigned, and in 2000 the garage was modernized and central heating was installed in the course of the road demolition. From 2008 to 2010 the armory was completely renovated and expanded again.
