Zehmemoos is a district of the municipality of Bürmoos in the Austrian state of Salzburg and is located in the north of the Salzburg-Umgebung district around 25 km north of the city of Salzburg . The earliest settlements of today's Bürmoos community emerged in Zehmemoos in the mid-19th century.

geography

Zehmemoos is located in the eastern part of the municipality of Bürmoos, the area is consistently flat and largely built up with housing developments. A partly moor-like forest landscape takes up another large part of the area. There are no significant bodies of water in the area of ​​the district.

The district is neither a cadastral municipality nor a place in the administrative sense, but is statistically managed as a settlement and in this regard forms a census district of the municipality.

history

→ For the history see also Bürmooser Moor .

Until the first half of the 19th century, the " Biermoos " was in aristocratic hands. In the 1840s, these goods were privatized and some of them were sold to the highest bidders. The reason for this was the utilization of the existing peat as a raw material, as the wood stocks in the state of Salzburg were declining. The name "Zehmemoos" for part of the moor area is derived from Eugen Zehme († 1908), a lawyer from Leipzig who bought the area in 1887 from a private previous owner, the lawyer Josef Meittinger from Sankt Johann im Pongau . (The name originated as a specification of part of the moor area.) In the course of time, as in the case of Bürmoos , the name for the moor was transferred to the settlement.

The present area of ​​Zehmemoos was uninhabited until the middle of the 19th century. A brick factory was built around 1850, which can also be seen as the beginning of the Bürmoos community. In the course of the increased peat extraction for both the brickworks and the nearby glass factory in Bürmoos, which was built in 1872, the first extensions and settlements arose. However, significant residential developments did not emerge until the second half of the 20th century. On maps from around 1900, therefore, only the brick kiln is worth mapping for the Zehmemoos area.

For the transport of the peat extracted there was a field railway from 1882 , the Bockerlbahn Bürmoos , which was discontinued in 2000 and of which only a few track relics can be seen today. Efforts to preserve part of the railway for tourist purposes were unsuccessful, only a few car sets are on display in scattered places. Dr.-Eugen-Zehme-Strasse and Von-Meittinger-Strasse in the settlement area still remind of the namesake of the Bürmoos district .

Until Bürmoos was founded as an independent municipality in 1967, Zehmemoos belonged to the municipality of Lamprechtshausen , while all other districts of the newly created Bürmoos belonged to the municipality of Sankt Georgen bei Salzburg to the west . This earlier affiliation to different municipalities is still noticeable in the village today and is expressed, for example, in the fact that the district - despite the small area of ​​the municipality of Bürmoos and although Zehmemoos is not an independent village - has its own place-name signs. In addition, the district consists to a large extent of residential areas that are geographically separated from the other settlement areas of Bürmoos.

Economy and Transport

In Zehmemoos there is, among other things, a factory of the Miele company , one of the important economic companies in Bürmoos. Production started in 1962, the last expansion took place in 2001.

Zehmemoos has its own S-Bahn Salzburg stop on the Salzburg – Lamprechtshausen railway line and can be reached with the S1 line every half hour, sometimes every quarter of an hour.

Lady Chapel

Culture

In Zehmemoos there is the second Catholic site in Bürmoos, the Marienkapelle, inaugurated on May 15, 1988, in which masses are read at regular intervals. The chapel was built at the request of the people of Zehmemoos, the land for it was made available free of charge by a farmer. Half of the construction costs of 700,000 schillings (around 51,000 euros) were raised by the people of Bürmoos. The plan of the chapel, which is equipped with 50 seats, comes from a Zehmemoos construction specialist. A stone from the Sea of ​​Galilee , brought from a pilgrimage by the pastor at the time, was laid as the foundation stone .

There is a meeting room in the Miele plant that is also used for public cultural events.
