Zeiselmauer-Wolfpassing is a municipality with 2299 inhabitants (as of January 1, 2020) in the Tulln district in Lower Austria .

geography

Zeiselmauer-Wolfpassing is located in the Tullnerfeld and is traversed by the Danube in a west-east direction, whereby the settlements of the community are only on the south bank. North of the Danube there are only temporarily used summer houses built on the edge of the alluvial forest. Access is only possible via the district capital Tulln, which is a considerable detour.

The area of the municipality covers approx. 12.7 square kilometers, of which 50.24 percent is forested.

Traditionally, Zeiselmauer is subdivided into the parts "Old Zeiselmauer" and "Neu-Zeiselmauer", whereby this designation actually corresponds to the historical sequence of settlement, which is proven by historical maps. This division is underlined today by the railway line. In addition to historical names, this structure is used as a name for the electoral districts in order to make the counting of votes clearer.

In terms of landscape, the Tulln district south of the Danube belongs to the Mostviertel . For spatial planning, the municipality belongs to the main region of Lower Austria-Central .

Community structure

The municipality includes the following two cadastral communities and localities (population in brackets as of January 1, 2020):

history

Zeiselmauer has an important Roman and high medieval past. As the easternmost cohort fort on the Noric Danube Limes , it is listed as Cannabiaca in the troop list of the Notitia dignitatum . The late Roman architectural monuments Burgus , Fächerturm, Kastentor ("Körnerkasten") and flag sanctuary ( principia ) are largely preserved to this day and are unique to Austria in terms of type and condition. After Carnuntum, Zeiselmauer is the richest place in Lower Austria in terms of preserved Roman buildings. An old tradition of veneration of Florian is based on the assumption that this was also the place of birth of St. Florian .

In the course of the Baier colonization, the eastern Tullnerfeld came in 836 as a royal donation to the Passau bishopric . Using the Roman buildings, Zeiselmauer became the administrative center of this Hofmark. A Carolingian hall church, which is one of the earliest church buildings in Lower Austria, was built on the remains of the Roman sanctuary. Its walls are exposed in today's lower church. For the first time Zeiselmauer was mentioned as Zeizzinmurum around 985 in the long version of the Confirmatio Ludovici Pii .

In the High Middle Ages there was an episcopal palace in Zeiselmauer as the official residence of the Passau bishop when he was in this part of the diocese. Bishop Altmann , who was expelled from Passau and the founder of Göttweig Abbey, died here in 1091 . The prince-bishop's Zeiselmauer was for a long time the most important place of the eastern Tullnerfeld and also a cultural center of attraction after the princely Tulln .

In Zeiselmauer on November 12, 1203 the minstrel Walther von der Vogelweide received from Bishop Wolfger von Erla 5 solidi longi ("long shillings") for the purchase of a fur skirt. The entry about it in the travel account book of Passau Bishop Wolfger von Erla is the only known non-literary testimony of Walther von der Vogelweide's life. A little later Neidhart von Reuental chose Zeiselmauer as the setting for his popular village Minnelieder. Zeiselmauer also found its way into the Nibelungenlied .

In 1972 Zeiselmauer and Muckendorf were merged, and since January 1st 1998 Muckendorf-Wipfing has been an independent municipality again.

coat of arms

Blazon : "Divided by gold and blue, above a growing, soaring red wolf , below a continuous golden crenellated wall with a black, framed portal, flanked by two black grooved golden watchtowers with a golden tent roof."

Declaration of coat of arms: The official coat of arms of the municipality reflects the history of Zeiselmauer: The eponymous wall symbolizes almost 400 years of the Roman fort, the red wolf - Passau's heraldic animal - for almost 1,000 years of belonging to the secular territory of the Diocese of Passau .

economy

In 2001 there were 72 non-agricultural workplaces, and agricultural and forestry holdings according to the 1999 survey 20. The number of people in work at the place of residence was 898 according to the 2001 census. The 2001 employment rate was 48.42 percent.

In Zeiselmauer there are the following facilities: a Roman Catholic church, a cemetery, an elementary school, a kindergarten with several groups in two locations, a sports field, an event and gymnasium ("Roman Hall"), a tennis facility and two riding stables. In addition, a bank, a hairdresser, a nursery and a grocery store offer their products. In the "Gewerbepark Ost" near the neighboring community of St. Andrä-Wölker , some small businesses, among others from the metalworking and motor vehicle trade and repair sectors, have settled. There is also a well-known dog sports club and training area on the outskirts of the village.

Wolfpassing offers a small chapel, a kindergarten, a tennis court, an inn and wine taverns. There are also two car dealerships and a nursery.

Volunteer fire brigades are stationed in both Zeiselmauer and Wolfpassing .

traffic

By train: The Franz-Josefs-Bahn runs through Zeiselmauer, and the S40 rapid transit train in the direction of Vienna Franz-Josefs-Bahnhof as well as Tulln on the Danube and St. Pölten stop every half hour at the Zeiselmauer-Königstetten station . Similar routes are served by the existing bus routes.

Road: The main traffic route through the local area of Zeiselmauer is the federal road B14 , which crosses the northern part of the village in an east-west direction. In the village of Wolfpassing, state main road 118 narrows to a single lane. The traffic lights there lead to considerable waiting times from all directions in the morning and evening traffic peaks and to high levels of noise, exhaust gas and dust for residents. A planned bypass of the neighboring town of Königstetten is controversial in the surrounding communities, including Zeiselmauer-Wolfpassing, as it is feared that, in addition to a further reduction in green spaces, there could be a renewed increase in traffic, especially at the Wolfpassing narrow passage.
