history
The history of the market town of Staatz is closely linked to the castle ruins of the same name. Staatz Castle was built in the 11th century; the first documentary mention is in 1072. A Reginger von Staatz appeared in the years from 1125 to 1137 . In the years from 1178 to 1198 Odalrich von Staatz and his sons Otto and Pilgrim are mentioned. Around the year 1200 Reinger and Eberwein are mentioned by Staatz. Ulrich II von Staatz is mentioned until 1230. The male sex of the Staatzer probably ended around the middle of the 13th century. In the further course of the Middle Ages , the place and its castle were the scene of armed conflicts several times. In the first half of the 16th century Staatz came to the barons of Roggendorf . In 1551 the rule of Staatz was pledged by the sovereign, Emperor Ferdinand I , to the Barons von Breuner , who expanded the castle. Towards the end of the Thirty Years War , the castle was destroyed by a Swedish army in 1645. It has been in ruins ever since . The Counts of Breuner built a new castle between 1645 and 1672 at the eastern foot of the castle rock, which was rebuilt in 1807 by Count Colloredo.
In the years from 1454 to 1590 Staatz had 20 houses.
In the last days of the Second World War , Staatz and its cadastral communities became the scene of violent and eventful battles between troops of the Wehrmacht and the Red Army . In Staatz itself, heavy damage was caused by artillery fire, civilians were also killed and numerous buildings were destroyed by fire. Heavy fighting took place in Ernsdorf between April 19 and 24, 1945, in which 12 tanks were shot down and two civilians were killed. On April 22nd, Russian soldiers marched into Ernsdorf, looted the place and confiscated almost all of its livestock and food. A businessman from Ernsdorf reported that rape was the order of the day, and a woman is said to have been abused 36 times in just one night. Fighting also took place in Enzersdorf, where at least two civilians were also killed. Due to the war events in 1945, the castle also burned down and had to be demolished. Only the Schüttkasten (today the Musikvereinssaal) and two residential buildings are preserved.
