geography

The place is located 15 kilometers south of Mattighofen , directly on the state border with Salzburg. Actually it belongs with the community to the Innviertel , but it is located on the Krenwald , a southern foothills of the Kobernaußerwald, on the watershed of the Mattig (here Schwemmbach ) to Vöckla (here Kirchhamer Bach ), i.e. Inn zu Traun , and belongs to the landscape of Vöckla-Ager -Hügelland , a spatial unit of the neighboring Hausruckviertel . Utzweih is the highest point in the horseradish forest.

The village of Utzweih is located 3 kilometers northeast of Straßwalchen at around 640  m above sea level. A. Height. It is 2½ kilometers southwest of the municipal capital Friedburg , and 3 kilometers southwest of Schneegattern behind the forest.

The village comprises about 20 buildings with about 70 inhabitants, 15 addresses in the village itself, and surrounding farms.

The Utzweih cadastral community with 632  hectares covers the entire mountain range of the Krenwald up to the state border, including the village of Igelsberg against Straßwalchen (but not the village of Krenwald near Schneegattern).

Geology, history, infrastructure and sights

The place is right where the maximum glacier advance of the Alps was. The zone of the terminal moraines of that lobe of the Dachstein glacier that has furrowed the Mondseeland ("Mondseegletscher") stretches from the lowlands near Lengau as a broad rampart over Utzweih - Krenwald and then on to Frankmarkt . It belongs partly to the Mindel (around 450,000 years ago) and partly to the Riss glaciation (around 200,000 years ago), the highest glaciation in the Alps.

The place name does not come from 'Weihe', but as Uzwey probably from * utz-o-vina as a Slavic ( windy ) derivation ' bei Ulrich'. The presumably peaceful settlement continuity of the pre- Bavarian Romanesque and Slavic population is well documented especially around Straßwalchen (as -walchen -location itself a prime example). The place was - like Haarlacken in Salzburg today - in the Middle Ages Bambergian and Vordbacherisch , the two places once belonged to a common, more extensive Haufendorf-Weiler area.

In 1812, Weilmeyr reported that the 14 buildings (until today Flachgauer Einhöfe in T-shape) and 19 outbuildings were all wood-shingled.

At Watzlberg opposite the Wiener Straße  (B1).

There is a volunteer fire brigade in Utzweih-Igelsberg (together with Igelsberg), which provides fire protection and general help.

Since 1974 the place has a small village chapel.
