Seebacher moss

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Seebacher Moos is a former moor area near Seebach in the municipality of Hinzenbach in Upper Austria .

Located in the meadow landscape along the Seebach, which flows into the Aschach in the lowlands of the Eferdinger Basin , there used to be a swamp area that was only accessible to a limited extent, which was later made arable through clearing and drainage. In the 19th and 20th centuries, the hydrology of the moor was permanently changed by the regulation of the Danube and the power stations built on the Danube, and parts of the moss were also dredged.

Tomb of Stefan Fadinger

Tomb of Stefan Fadinger and Christoph Zeller

The bodies of the freedom fighters Stefan Fadinger and Christoph Zeller , who were fatally wounded during the siege of Linz in mid-1626 , were first buried in the Eferdinger cemetery, but on the orders of the Bavarian governor Adam von Herberstorff they were excavated on May 7, 1627 and next in an inhospitable place in the moss buried in the village of Seebach so as not to allow the dead to rest in the cemetery. A gallows was erected over this point "in memory of their eternal shameful remembrance". Today there is a tomb at this point.
