Former Marienkirche in Struden

Struden is a village and a cadastral community of St. Nikola an der Donau in Strudengau in Upper Austria . These place names refer to the mighty Danube vortex, which before the Danube regulation represented a great danger for the ship's people.

From the elevation to the market in 1591 to the incorporation into St. Nikola on March 1, 1875, Struden was Freimarkt , and from 1850 to 1875 it was also its own local community. At the 2001 census, the place had 267 inhabitants. The village is 240  m above sea level. A.

geography

In the west, Struden borders on the two cadastral communities Panholz and Grein of the municipality of Grein , in the northwest on the cadastral community of Wetzelstein in the market town of Bad Kreuzen , in the north on the market and cadastral community of Waldhausen and in the east on the cadastral community of St. Nikola an der Donau. In the south, Struden extends to the Danube , which also forms the border with the federal state of Lower Austria .

history

The earliest written documents from Struden date back to 1351. The Danube vortex was a well-known place along the river and gave the settlement its name.

The Freigericht Struden or Hofmark Struden, a settlement of free people on royal soil, belonged to the prince's castle Werfenstein , which became part of the Greinburg rule in 1498 , along with the parishes of Grein and St. Nikola and the village of Hößgang on the southern bank of the Danube .

A toll was collected in Struden as early as 1391. The upstream ship trains had to pay a fee for the goods, the draft horses and the transit. In 1399 a nurse was appointed in Struden who had to protect the Greiner citizens when loading and unloading the ships. In 1572 the nursing court was moved to Grein.

The market judge at the Freigericht Struden was responsible for both Struden and Hößgang. The higher jurisdiction was incumbent on the Machland district court , whose sphere of activity reached across the Danube to Lower Austria.

The water toll in Struden, introduced at the end of the 15th century, was levied by July 1, 1852.

Struden was elevated to market status in 1591 or 1592 and was given its own coat of arms, which reminds of the location of the place on the Danube and Werfenstein Castle.

In 1955, work began on building the bank in the dam area of ​​the Danube power plant in Ybbs-Persenbeug . After the work was completed, the Vienna tailoring shop was set up in the then vacant workers' homes . The barracks have been empty since the tailoring business closed in the 1980s.

politics

The mayor was Joseph Langthaler from July 27, 1850 until his death in 1858, and then Johann Mühlberger until the incorporation on March 1, 1875. Before that, market judges worked at the Free Market Court in Struden.

Municipal Archives

The archives of the former market town of Struden, which were taken into custody by the Upper Austrian Provincial Archives in 1906, began in 1491 and went back to the 19th century. Noteworthy are the ship's regulations in Struden 1628 to 1636.
