history

The name "Strobl" means a messy man and goes back to the 14th century. Back when the Wolfgangsee was still called Abersee, a certain Friedrich Stroblo appears as the first owner of a "Seege" (= fish pond).

160 years later, the "Strobls" own a property on Am Schober and form the core of the emerging town of Strobl. The place name Strobl was first used in documents in 1593, but it did not become generally accepted until the 19th century. The place name goes to Hanns III. Strobl, who was bailiff and tavern keeper at the place around 1587. The Strobl family was the local leader until 1765. Under the married-in successor Joseph Sigmund Berchtold and Sonnenburg, the property of the Strobl family disintegrated, but the name "Strobl" had become naturalized for the area around the old Am Schober tavern.

At the time when the old property was dismembered and the tavern rights were transferred from the old Strobl inn, the Platzlhof was built around 1800 . It became the post office and was the station of the Thurn and Taxic Post Line . It experienced a heyday from 1877 to 1890 when, in addition to the flourishing mail car traffic, the fiakers brought their guests from the imperial Bad Ischl to the Wolfgangsee.

In 1890 Strobl was connected to the Ischlerbahn (Salzkammergut-Lokalbahn, SLKB) to Bad Ischl (opening August 5th), which resulted in a further increase in day-trippers due to its easy accessibility. The connection to Salzburg via St. Gilgen and Mondsee was not completed until 1893 (opening June 20). This was the beginning of the first phase of local development. The railway operated until 1957 and was then sacrificed for road expansion.

At the turn of the century in 1900, Strobl became the country residence of Baron von Gecmen-Waldeck. The family had become very wealthy through industrialization. In Vienna she owned a grand palace in Hietzing and large estates in Bohemia . During the summer stays of Emperor Franz Joseph I in Bad Ischl, the Strobler property was a meeting point for prominent social events. Here the high aristocracy and the upper classes frequented.

After the Second World War , tourism began a new phase of development in the 1960s. The Kurhotel Schloss Strobl was built on part of the Gecmen-Waldeck property . The old structure was fully preserved and renovated and blends in harmoniously with the modern use. In the Osterhorn Mountains, the Postalm is a well-visited family ski area . The main economic factor is still the summer swimming season at the lake.
