History, economy and infrastructure

Early history

Weng is an ancient settlement area, for example a dugout canoe from the Stone Age (close to the Mondsee culture ) was found on the banks of the Wallersee . The settlement history of the area is continuous over the Hallstatt period , Roman Norikum (Roman road Wels – Salzburg), Slavic settlement and Bavarian conquest .

Westbahn stop Weng near Neumarkt

In 1860, what is now the Western Railway was built here by the then Imperial and Royal Empress Elisabeth Railway . The Weng- Zell section in particular , which crosses the moorland, required extensive dam protection measures. Weng got a stop, Weng bei Neumarkt (also: Weng / Wallersee ) which served the surrounding places between Neumarkt and Wallersee. This had little impact on the townscape itself, the village has remained small. However, some more important companies have settled in the area, such as Palfinger (crane construction, Köstendorf plant, today also the headquarters of Palfinger Europe) or the Lauterbacher wood company , and in 2004 the EZA headquarters Austria (Third World Trade). Overall, the place has experienced an upswing in recent years due to the integration of the stop in the Salzburg transport association as a peripheral settlement area of Seekirchen.

The four-track expansion of the Westbahn as a high-speed line between Straßwalchen and Salzburg is still in the planning stage, various routes are being examined. The stop should be retained.
