St. Magdalena is a district of Linz in Upper Austria north of the Danube . St. Magdalena was a separate community until it was incorporated into Linz in 1938. Since 2014, the district has consisted of the statistical districts of St. Magdalena and Dornach-Auhof.
The district before the reform had 17,402 inhabitants (2006) and the following conscription locations: Auhof, Dornach, Elmberg, Furth, Haselgraben, Katzbach, Maderleiten, Obersteg, St. Magdalena and Unterstein. The cadastral community of Katzbach is located in about this area .
topography
The south of the district with the villages of Ober- and Untersteg, Dornach, Furth and Katzbach is flat alluvial land that was often affected by Danube floods in the past. The northern villages are located on the foothills of the Mühlviertel hill country. In the west, the Haselgraben forms the border with the neighboring municipality of Lichtenberg and the neighboring district of Pöstlingberg .
history
The settlement was first mentioned in writing around 1110 and was originally called "Haselbach". The current name, which comes from the church of St. Magdalena on the Magdalenaberg, can be traced for the first time in 1482 and finally replaced the old name Haselbach in the 17th century. Before the elevation to the parish church in 1858, most of the northern villages belonged to the parish of Gallneukirchen , while those in the plains belonged to Puchenau . In 1824 St. Magdalena had 24 houses.
On July 21, 1832, the imperial couple Franz I and Karoline Auguste opened the first railroad on the European mainland, the horse-drawn railway between Linz and Budweis , in Linz-St.Magdalena , whose former route with several bridges has been partially preserved to this day. In 1835 the St. Magdalena cemetery was rebuilt. In the course of establishing the municipality boundaries, the municipality of Katzbach was founded in 1851, and in 1875 there was a merger with the previously independent municipality of Pöstlingberg and Lichtenberg, which, however, was reversed in 1885, whereupon the local municipality, including the localities of Auhof, Elmberg and Maderleiten, which had previously belonged to Altenberg St. Magdalena was created.

In 1910 St. Magdalena had 2,488 inhabitants, in the village of Steg the laundry business developed on the streams because of their advantageously soft water, which also increased the population. Conflicts of interest increasingly developed between Steg and St. Magdalena, which is still largely agricultural. In 1913 the first post office was opened in the easily accessible Steg. On November 1, 1938, St. Magdalena was finally incorporated into Linz. In the same year the Auhof infantry barracks was built on Aubrunnerweg. A camp for ethnic German resettlers and prisoners of war was set up nearby (on today's Johann-Wilhelm-Klein-Strasse) . From August 1945 to 1955 the area was in the Soviet zone of occupation. The barracks continued to be used by the Soviets, the surrounding area served as a military training area. In 1954, the Danube floods destroyed the Heilham settlement and caused serious damage in the villages of Steg, Dornach and Furth.
After the Soviets withdrew, planning began to build the university on the grounds around Auhof Castle . The opening took place in 1966. The rest of the district was designed as a future residential area for 15,000 residents, with the first residential buildings (on Mengerstrasse and northeast of Dornacher Strasse) being completed as early as the mid-1960s, including the Heiliger Geist parish church . From then on, the district developed into one of the most sought-after residential areas in Linz. The construction activity initially ended with the Biesenfeldsiedlung demonstration project in Dornach, which was set up between 1976 and 1980, and which made it possible for residents to participate from the start. The parking spaces for these approximately 680 apartments are located in underground garages under the green, hexagonal courtyards.
It was not until the mid-1990s that the youngest part of today's Dornach-Auhof university district was built when the Auhoffeld was built. Of the old localities, only Katzbach still has the original appearance to this day, while Steg and St. Magdalena have been heavily changed and Furth was partially destroyed by the construction of the A7. Some of the remaining farmhouses in the old town of Dornach are threatened with demolition in the next few years.
With the reorganization of the statistical districts in 2014, Dornach-Auhof was separated from St. Magdalena and now forms a separate district.
