history

Middle Ages and early modern times

The name "Tullnerpach" was first mentioned in 1565. The stream rises from the Riedanleiten and flows from the direction of Tulln into the Vienna . It used to be written "Tulnerbach". It should not be confused with the former namesake, today's Great Tulln , which begins at Neulengbach , flows in the opposite direction through Sieghartskirchen , was also described earlier as "Tulnerbach" or "Tullnerbach" and appears in some history books.

The area included individual small wood chopping settlements . Lawies appears in 1635 as "Labiwießen", Unter-Tullnerbach was formerly called "Neuwirtshaus", "Irenental" (formerly "Ober-Tullnerbach" and "Hinter-Tullnerbach", "Unter-Tullnerbach" and then "Vorder Tullnerbach") does not appear until 1880 Name on.

The Franciscan monastery of Sancta Maria in Paradyso was built around 1460 and destroyed in the Turkish wars in 1529 . In 1791 the kk Waldamt built a one-class primary school Tullnerbach I in what is now Irenental; it was closed in 1967.

From the construction of the Kaiserin-Elisabeth-Bahn

After the construction of the imperial and royal privileged "Kaiserin-Elisabeth-Bahn" in 1858 (today's Westbahn ), a popular summer retreat for the Viennese population developed.

From 1850 to 1873, the community of Tullnerbach, which had originally belonged in part to Pressbaum , was once again part of it as Pressbaum-Tullnerbach. In 1873, Tullnerbach finally separated from Pressbaum and became an independent municipality.

1881–1890 the Catholic orphans' aid association from Vienna established the Norbertinum as a boys and orphans asylum . The Tullnerbach II primary school existed from 1884–1967. Between 1895 and 1897, the municipal office opposite the train station was built under Mayor Josef Knab. In 1897 the previous station in Preßbaum was renamed Tullnerbach-Preßbaum .

Main building of the Wiental waterworks

The Wienerwaldsee between Lawies and Unter-Tullnerbach was built in the years 1895–1898 as a reservoir for the Wien and Wolfsgrabenbach . The Wiental waterworks of the Compagnie des Eaux de Vienne, Societé anonyme supplied the western districts of Vienna with usable water with the water treated here.

In 1958 the Wiental waterworks was taken over by the City of Vienna and the water, mixed with high spring water, was fed into the Viennese water supply network as required and, since the 1990s, also into the Purkersdorf water supply network. For economic reasons, drinking water production was stopped at the end of 2004 and the lake is to serve as a natural and recreational area and retention basin for the floods of the Vienna. In 2008 the renovation was completed with a renovation of the dam. Future use as a bathing lake is not planned.

The Tullnerbach Volunteer Fire Brigade in Lawies was founded in 1900, Tullnerbach-Irenental in 1902, and Untertullnerbach in 1924, which joined Tullnerbach in 1999.

In 1908 a bath was built on the Vienna, which was demolished in 1991.

"Flight" attempt by Wilhelm Kress in 1901

Monument to the aviation pioneer Wilhelm Kress

On October 3, 1901, Wilhelm Kress (1836–1913) was the first Austrian to attempt a flight with the Kress'schen hang glider on the Wienerwaldsee. Static buoyancy on the surface of the water was provided by "sledge-shaped" floating bodies made of sheet aluminum, open at the top, the wings braced with wires or ropes had a curved textile covering, the motor - it should only weigh 240 kg, but weighed 380 kg - acted on a propeller . The device was designed as a seaplane , but already touched the water during a propeller-driven test on the water surface when cornering with a wing. As a result of the journey, the wing cut deeper into the water, the apparatus tilted - the floats filled up - and sank. Thanks to a floating belt, Kress was able to stay above the nine meters deep water, despite heavy tools in his pockets, until he could be retrieved by boat. He was unharmed.

In 1913 the Kress memorial was erected in his honor , designed by the sculptor Rudolf von Weigl (who later became the husband of Mercédès Jellinek , who gave the car brand Mercedes-Benz its name ). In 1973 it was moved to Untertullnerbach near the dam on the northern shore of the lake. The Kress air screw was included in the new municipal coat of arms.

Republic of Austria

In 1922, the first public lighting was installed in Lawies.

After the annexation of Austria in 1938, the place was not connected to Greater Vienna , in contrast to Purkersdorf , but was assigned to the district of Sankt Pölten . The border from Greater Vienna was the Tullnerbach from 1938 to 1946.

On November 4, 1973, the then governor Andreas Maurer presented the market survey certificate in a ceremony in the Norbertinum .

The Tullnerbach brass band was founded in 1974.

The new multi-purpose house of the united Tullnerbach volunteer fire brigade (from Tullnerbach (-Lawies) and Untertullnerbach) and the Tullnerbach brass band , near the lake, was officially opened on May 16, 2004.

From 1956 until its dissolution on December 31, 2016, Tullnerbach was part of the Vienna-Umgebung district .

Population development

In 2001 Tullnerbach had a population density of 115 inhabitants / km².

From 1869 total numbers according to censuses and statistics of class cases. The numbers with the year 1830 were supplemented directly with the numbers from Franz Xaver Schweickhardt . The remaining numbers come from the historical local dictionary. It is still unclear why, for example, Strohzogl or Riedanleiten do not appear in the basic source at Irenental.

• Abbreviations: H = houses, fireplaces or the like; EW = residents; Yellow background: The number does not appear in the main sequence, but in the extended information. The difference between the sums of the three districts and the total is shown under “unassignable difference”. Only from 1951 the calculated difference was added to the district of Untertullnerbach, since the allocation with the comparative figures from 2001 is clear.
