geography

View from the Zwölferhorn over St. Gilgen and Winkl to the Mondsee and Attersee basins, on the right the Schafberg-Westfuß

The Winkl is located 25 kilometers east of the city of Salzburg , 12 kilometers southeast of Thalgau . It is a flat valley basin at the northwest end of the Wolfgangsee , between the Höllkargruppe (Schobergruppe) and the Schafberg of the Salzkammergut Mountains or the Salzburg Prealps , at around 580  m above sea level. A. It is about 1½ kilometers to the town of St. Gilgen . The Winkl is separated from the somewhat lower lake ( 538  m above sea level ) by the Mugel des Saurüssel  ( 722  m above sea level ), with the Mühlauhöhe as a valley pass. The Krottenseebach flows through it . The basin is structured again in the north by the hill at Schloss Hüttenstein (approx.  640  m above sea level ), there is the small Krottensee and the valley of the Zeppezau . The surrounding peaks are next to the Saurüssel, the Buchberg  ( 804  m above sea level ) in the west, the Eibenberg  ( 923  m above sea level ) in the north and the Schafberg in the east, with the Kesselkopf  ( 923  m above sea level ) and the ridges that run down from the Schafbergalm . Between Eibenberg and Kesselkopf is the Scharflinger Höhe  ( 604  m above sea level ), the pass from the Wolfgang valley to the Mondseeland to the north. The Mondsee Straße  (B154) runs over this pass through the Winkl .

The place Winkl itself is a group in this valley basin, which is formed from the place Aich on the B154 (about 40 houses) and unspecifically the surrounding houses. The eastern of these houses are the village of Pucha (about 50 houses), the western, higher-lying Buchberg (about 10 houses), to the north is Hüttenstein near Krotensee.

The village of Winkl also includes the Brunnleiten above Brunnwinkl am See - which already belongs to the village of St. Gilgen - the Fürberg am See houses below the Saurüsselberg, and Schmalnau and Zeppezau in the side valley near the Krotensee. That adds up to around 130 addresses with around 300 residents.

The cadastral community of Winkl then includes 1306.6  hectares of the surrounding mountainous region, north around the Eibenberg to over the Eibensee , the borders form the Buchberg, the Höllkar  ( 1169  m above sea level ) and the Plomberg  ( 1105  m above sea level). ), the saddle to the Drachenwand , the Almkogel  ( 1030  m above sea level ) and the Scharflingerhöhe, as well as to the east the western flank of the Schafberg over the Kesselalm to about 300 meters below the summit, and down over the Falkensteinerwand to the lake. The cadastral area also includes a piece of the lake, straight across to a point on the shore between St. Gilgen- Lueg and Franzosenschanze .

History, infrastructure and sights

The Winkl, although cast off, has always been of importance in terms of traffic. The pile dwellings in Scharfling have been found to date back to the 5th millennium BC. The transition over the Scharflinger Höhe was of no importance as a long-distance connection, the Seewinkel from Scharfling could only be reached by boat until modern times. The Mondsee west bank from St. Lorenz as well as the Kienbergwand towards Unterach were impassable up to modern times, towards Burgau am Attersee the high path behind the Kienbergwand (Holzingeralm - Plankenmoos - Eisenau ) will have been used. The course of the Roman road from Iuvavum (Salzburg) to the statio Esc [ensis] ( Ischl ), which is very important for the salt trade, is unclear for Lake Wolfgang, the southern bank of which was just as impassable between St. Gilgen and Abersee. The route could have led over the Falkenstein . Today's Falkenstein Church with the hermitage is a cult site that was already used in pre-Christian times. The pilgrimage to St. Wolfgang was of European importance in the High Middle Ages, and since the donations from Duke Odilo in 748 it was partly to the Mondsee Monastery (Mondseeland with Wolfgangland ) and partly to the diocese of Salzburg (Salzburgland). The pilgrimage church in St. Wolfgang was formally Austrian from 1506 , the Falkenstein church and the Ried near St. Wolfgang Salzburg. The exact ownership structure in the area was not clarified until a state treaty dated May 26, 1689.

Hüttenstein Castle was probably built on the Schaflingerhöhe in the second half of the 13th century . A steep road from Scharfling was not built until the beginning of the 16th century. In modern times, Hüttenstein became the seat of a Salzburg nursing court , but the castle was abandoned, and in 1565 a new building was built for the nurse on the site of today's Hüttenstein Castle . In 1703 the judge moved to St. Gilgen (at that time still called St. Aegidi ), and this residence was also largely demolished by 1800. At that time the property was only run as Schlossmayer . At that time there were only 8 farmsteads in Winkl, the Batzenhäusl inn and a glassworks in Pucha, a total of 20 houses. In 1817 the Bavarian field marshal Prince Karl Philipp von Wrede (1797–1871) bought the rule, his son Karl Theodor (1797–1871) rebuilt the palace in 1843. It was not until 1833, with the beginning of the summer retreat in the Salzkammergut, that the Scharflinger Seestrasse was expanded into a road. Fürberg, an inn since 1708, was approached by the Wolfgangsee shipping company. In 1888 the Victor-von-Scheffel-Steig was laid out, which leads along the lake from Brunnwinkl to Fürberg and to the Scheffelblick on Falkenstein. In 1893 the Ischlerbahn (Salzkammergut-Lokalbahn, SLKB) was opened here, with a stop in Aich and the Hüttenstein siding. In 1896, the Kienbergwandstraße was built, with which the Winkl was then connected to Burgau / Unterach.

In 2004 the Benedictine monastery Gut Aich (European monastery ) was built in the former children's home of the Franciscan nuns of Au am Inn , a health, culture and event center.
