Thousandflower

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Tausendblum is a former municipality (approx. 1850 to 1971) on the left bank of the Laabenbach west of Neulengbach and has belonged to Neulengbach as a cadastral municipality since January 1, 1972 (city since 2000). Due to the favorable location on Laabenbach and the thoroughfare, as well as the Westbahn train station, industrial companies and later trading markets settled along Bundesstraße 19 or at the train station (warehouse, Rehau works). Thus, Thousandflower was a prosperous community. The name is derived from a hamlet on a southern slope to the Dambach with originally 4 houses and was accepted because of the beautiful sound for the merger of 10 cadastral areas (figures from 1923):

  • Thousandflower: 6 houses - 70 inhabitants
  • Schönfeld : 29 houses - 123 inhabitants
  • Schrabatz : 11 houses - 55 inhabitants
  • Laa : 6 houses - 70 inhabitants
  • Matzelsdorf: 18 houses - 88 inhabitants
  • Ebersberg: 64 houses - 609 inhabitants
  • Straß: 16 houses - 116 inhabitants
  • Stocket: 3 houses - 17 inhabitants
  • Unter Dambach: 17 houses - 90 inhabitants
  • Umsee: 22 houses - 127 inhabitants

All of the villages, with the exception of Ober-Schönfeld, were rural settlements. Ober-Schönfeld was re-established as a street village in the second half of the 19th century along the thoroughfare towards Sankt Pölten. Tausendblum belonged to the Hietzing-Umgebung district from 1890 to 1938 .

For comparison the houses (house numbers) of Tausendblum on a municipality map of Tausendblum (before 1870):

  • Tausendblum No. 1 (= Reisethof) to 4
  • Under Schönfeld 5 - 9
  • Schrabatz 10 - 13
  • Laa 14-17
  • Eitzenberg 18
  • Matzelsdorf 19-21
  • Strass and Ebersberg 22 - 45
  • Stock 46 - 48
  • Under Dambach 49 - 57

At that time Umsee was not part of Tausendblum.
