history

Gut Hohenlehen

Gustav Davis , founder of the Vienna daily Kronen Zeitung , acquired after the valley was reached with the construction of the Ybbstalbahn in 1896, until 1906 the reasons of several small farmers between Opponitz and Kleinhollenstein , which were run down after the collapse of the Eisenwurzen small iron industry , at that time a forest and hunting estate of about 1500  ha . Until 1910 he had a monumental villa with park, garden house, meierhof, administration building, gatekeeper's house and staff residence built as a residence and named it Schloss und Gut Hohenlehen . In 1908 he also bought Gut Geyersbichl and from 1913–1915 the two northern properties Gut Seeburg and Gut Bärengschwandt , but gave Seeburg back after the First World War .

With around 80% forest area, the property was primarily intended for private hunting. The economic property was expanded into a model agricultural operation, especially after the First World War. It was known far beyond the borders of Austria; In particular, a modern breed of cattle was bred here with the Hohenlehner Braunvieh . In March 1920 there were negotiations about a compulsory return of bought farms in the context of the suspicion of farm laying (the dishonest takeover of farm goods by large landowners). According to the Resettlement Act 1919 (WBG), it was only added to two goods in 1924.

Gustav Davis died in 1951 at the age of 95 on Hohenlehen. The former estate is now divided between the villages of Garnberg and Hohenlehen and the remaining private property (the property known today as Gut Hohenlehen is in Waidach von Opponitz, on the other bank of the Ybbs).
