history

The Tonhof or Tannhof was mentioned as Zehenthof in 1431/32. The two buildings of the Tonhof were later used as a care office and as a court. The administration building, the Tonhof in the narrower sense, was able to keep its old shape over time and has a ground floor built in Gothic style. The courthouse was the birthplace of Friedrich Welwitsch , the son of the then district judge.

In 1954, when she married the composer Gerhard Lampersberg (1928–2002), the singer Maja, née Weis-Ostborn (1919–2004) received the Tonhof as a dowry. Later the couple met in the Vienna Art Club , among others, Thomas Bernhard know who found the Tonhof "from 1957 to 1959 (according to Oliver Bentz until summer 1960) [...] refuge and home," But later because of his novel " lumberjack " (1984 ) with the Lampersbergs (see below).

In the 1960s, a cultural group of the Viennese avant-garde from literature, music and art (→  Viennese group ) established itself in the Tonhof - as a kind of artist's summer residence

During this time, the artists' works were exhibited in the Tonhof's barn and the rural population was involved in life at the Tonhof. The children living in the village (the so-called "Tonhof children") were given the opportunity by the patron Maja Lampersberg to compose and paint in the house, which brought the music and literature to the younger generation.

Not only did Thomas Bernhard (allegedly - he denies this in correspondence with his publisher from Suhrkamp Verlag Siegfried Unseld ) the Lampersberg couple and the Tonhof as a template, but Peter Turrini also did this in “When Darkness Falls” (2006/2007 ), who in turn portrays Thomas Bernhard as the protagonist at the Tonhof in the play.
