Culture and history: New issue of the district home association published

Rohrbach district. Shortly before Christmas, the latest edition of the district home association saw the light of day. This publication, which reports exciting about culture and history in the Rohrbach district, promises interesting insights into regional topics.

On the cover of volume No. 35 of "Culture and History in the Rohrbach district", the focus is on Schlägl Abbey. The main contribution of this issue deals with "Hunting and Fishing Industry in the early 20th century", which enables a deeper view of life during this time.

historical insights

This edition illuminates numerous anniversaries that were celebrated this year. An example of this is the interesting connection between Anton Bruckner and the municipality of Neufelden. In addition, it is mentioned that the Linz cathedral was inaugurated in 1924 - the stones were obtained from the nearby quarries in Arnreit and Kleinzell.

In retrospect, a year was full of political turbulence in 1934. It was the year of the failed February revolt of the protective association, followed by the failed Nazi Juliputsch, which led to the murder of Chancellor Dollfuß. At that time there was an uprising in Kollerschlag, which also demanded five fatalities here.

Another remarkable chapter in history is the fact that Partenstein in the municipality of Kleinzell housed Austria's largest power plant in 1924. In addition, the story of an entire village that had to give way to create the Langhalsen reservoir in Altenfelden-Neufelden. Such details are hardly known today.

Christmas is just around the corner. In times of past few years, Christmas games were particularly popular in many places, such as in St. Oswald. This tradition is recognized in the new edition of the booklet, where photos of special events were also selected.

For the photos, treasures from the top stores from Kleinzell (Resilacke), Kollerschlag (blond cattle) and St. Oswald (nativity play 1952) were compiled. These nostalgic illustrations let the readers immerse in the past and bring memories of old traditions and customs back.
