History and infrastructure

The Benedectine monastery founded around 800 after Charlemagne's Avar campaign and the settlement of the same name, which has been documented since 1030 and which arose on the remains of an old Roman fort, was called St. Hippolytus . The Hippolytus monastery belonged to the Tegernsee monastery , was resettled as an Augustinian canon monastery after the Hungarian wars , and was granted market rights around 1050 . The first city ​​privilege dates back to 1159, one of the oldest in Central Europe. There is also a location belonging to the diocese of Passau , Treisma, mentioned as early as 799.

The structure of the district within the city reflects the historical urban development . The old town represents the medieval city within its double city walls , the small country town probably had around 2500 inhabitants at the time of construction in the late 13th century. This city was divided - around the market square that was newly laid out at that time, the Breiten Markt (today's Rathausplatz) - into the market district (west), the monastery district (in the north), the wood district and the leather district (south-east). The monastery quarter, with around 500 inhabitants, was considered from 1365/67 as partly Passau property, partly that of the canon monastery (today's cathedral chapter), as independent next to the actual city, which represented an imperial chamber property . Until the end of the early modern period , the number of inhabitants, including the only suburb, the suburb of Gries (in front of the Wiener Tor at the Traisenbrücke), did not exceed 4,000. This population remained the same in the old town until the 1980s, and only fell in the last few decades good 2500.

The cadastral municipality represents the tax municipality created around 1821 , to which, in addition to the city, the largely completely rural area in front of the city walls belonged at the time, arable land and meadows with a few farmsteads, as well as urban forest, right up to the boundaries of the surrounding independent villages. From this, by merging the city grounds and the monastery district, the local community called St. Pölten emerged after the revolution of 1848/49 .

By the end of the 19th century, with the razing of the city walls and city gates and the construction of the Kaiserin-Elisabeth-Westbahn from 1856–58, the founding period and industrialization began. By 1880 the town had 10,000 inhabitants and by 1910 20,000. The city in this form existed until 1922, then Ober- and Unterwagram, Spratzern, Teufelhof and Viehofen were incorporated, and the original St. Pölten was only one of the localities of this new municipality.

Apart from the "Groß-Sankt Pölten" phase after the Anschluss in 1939 , which was largely reversed in 1955, further incorporations did not take place until 1970, and when the capital of Lower Austria was raised in 1986, the division into municipality-specific districts arose. Only Teufelhof came to St. Pölten as a district and, for organizational reasons, the small western villages that had been schooled and parish in St. Pölten from time immemorial. The city developed primarily in a north-south direction in the Traisental: As an overgrown urban settlement unit , it extends 8 kilometers from Viehofen in the north to Spratzern in the south, so it extends far beyond the area of ​​the cadastral community (and goes to the north near Unterradlberg already largely in Herzogenburg over), east-west it measures with Oberwagram / Unterwagram on the other side of the Traisen but only about 4 kilometers. On the Traisen-Pielach-Schwelle, however, some settlements have only emerged in recent years, so that there is still a lot of undeveloped space to be found here. In addition, the population of the village fell in the last few decades from the high of almost 27,000 in 1971 to just over 20,000 in 2011 due to urban flight to the suburbs. This means that the population density in the core district of 1000 inhabitants / km² is still comparatively very low ( Vienna- 1. District has approx. 5500 inhabitants / km², Linz city center 5000 inhabitants / km²).

The most important redesigns of the city center and infrastructure measures in recent years, besides the construction of the government district from 1992-97, were projects such as the rebuilding of the university clinic founded in 1894 until 1975 and from 1999, the redesign of the city center with the design of the town hall square , underground car park and pedestrian zone 1988-96, the refurbishment of the University of Applied Sciences in Corvinus-Straße 2007, the new railway station from 2006–11, as well as the demolition of the alpine station of the Leobersdorfer Bahn completed in 1877 and the Mariazellerbahn built from 1898 onwards from 2017. With the area of ​​the 1906 built just outside the city limits and after a fire in 2008 The closed company Glanzstoff Austria creates a new settlement concept.
