Salzkammergut Salzbergbau Sozialgeschichte Schulen Social – Schools: For the education of workers' children there were schools in the Kammergutorten, which the communities shared with the Salzamt. The schoolmaster was usually paid by the parents themselves, but the office paid the school fees for poor workers. The first school on Bad Ischler Boden was probably in the "Freien Markt Lauffen", where a schoolmaster Hyronimus Seifelder is said to have worked as early as 1519. It is known that in 1550 there was a schoolmaster in Ischl. The first schoolhouse was built by the municipality in Markt Ischl in 1560 and in Lauffen in 1567. For the boys who had outgrown school, acceptance into the imperial service or into the manufacturing service was the rule; on the Salzbergen in Hallstatt and Ischl, the son usually followed his father in the same branch of service. If the boy had learned a trade, the office paid the fee or apprenticeship fee to the master craftsman. Up to the last quarter of the 18th century, the school system in the Kammergut had not undergone any significant improvement compared to before, only the number of schools had increased. In 1767 there were schools in Laufen, Ischl, Ebensee, Obertraun and St. Agatha in addition to Hallstatt and Goisern. The schoolmasters were poorly paid, but they and their widows were commissionable. Their knowledge was very limited, so apart from Christianity, which was the main subject of the lesson, they could only teach the children little. After all, the majority of the schoolmasters came from the clerkship and their widow was allowed to continue the lessons. The schoolmasters were also always appointed in agreement with the religious commission and the missionary superior. In 1769, in addition to the parish schoolmaster, who was paid by the Salzamt, Ischl also had a market and religious schoolmaster, who taught independently of the former and also taught Christians in the neighboring parishes. On December 6, 1774, the great school reform took place under Maria Theresia. So-called trivial schools should be set up in every parish. How the first trivial schools were designed can be read in Abbot Johann Ignaz Felbiger’s “Core and Method Book”: “The children gather at school before 8 a.m. and go to church in pairs, modestly. After Holy Mass they also go back to school. There they pray, the names are read out. From ¾ 9 to ½ 10 the little students learn to know and spell the letters. From ½ 10 to ½ 11 the catechism is read. ½ 11 is prayed, the students are dismissed except for the arithmetic students, who are instructed and practiced in arithmetic until ½ 12.” The schools in the Kammergutorten were continued from 1774 onwards as trivial schools according to a uniform curriculum drawn up by the government and were only managed by certified teachers. The schoolmasters had to travel to Linz to acquire the teaching method, take a course at the local normal school and, after completing it, take an exam. The trivial school in Ischl only required a single classroom, separate from the schoolmaster's apartment, with a step for the teacher and an easel with 2 black boards. So that the older children would not be completely deprived of housework, half-day classes were introduced, in which the children only had to attend in the mornings. From then on, religious instruction was no longer taken care of by the schoolmaster, but by the catechist twice a week. Well-to-do parents had to pay the school fees of 1 guilder a year themselves, the poorer workers were paid by the Salzamt, and very poor children were also provided with school books. The maintenance costs of the public trivial school fell to the state. The trivial school was followed by the also public secondary or normal school with higher learning goals, to which the trivial students could transfer after the second grade. In 1782 Ischl got a new school building for the old rooms that had become inadequate. In 1816 the number of students had already risen to over 400, so a third classroom and a second assistant became necessary. In 1782 Ischl got a new school building on the left bank of the Traun near the main bridge, but it was immediately overcrowded. To relieve the strain, the first school class was set up in Pfandl in 1791 in the “Zum Pfandl” inn. In 1816 there was a teacher with two teaching assistants and 400 (!) students in Ischl. The filling of vacant teaching positions in the public elementary schools was based on the proposal of the nursing offices by the episcopal consistory, which appointed a school supervisor for each deanery. The schoolmasters at the trivial school were permanently employed. The teachers at the trivial schools were placed on an equal footing with the civil service and the clergy. If the number of pupils became too large for one teacher, the authorities provided him with assistant teachers with a lower salary. Although the catechist did not receive a special salary, he was given a remuneration for giving religious instruction. A considerable amount of extra work arose for the teaching staff from the imperial decree that came into force at the beginning of 1817, according to which repeat lessons on Sundays and public holidays were to be introduced for young people aged 12 to 15 who had outgrown school. Applicants for the saltworks service had to provide proof of having attended a repeat school. A great benefit for the growing female youth was the founding of knitting schools in Gmunden, Ebensee, Ischl, Hallstatt, Aussee and Altaussee, which enjoyed special support from the Court Chamber. She paid the tuition fees, sometimes also honored the teachers and gave the schools the firewood. The knitting schools, run by handicraft teachers, were also regularly attended by girls from the salt pans. The trivial school in Ischl with the three teachers' rooms was already too small in 1819 and the connection of a fourth room had become necessary. However, the number of school children continued to rise. In 1825, a teacher and three assistants taught 420 children in two school classes, each with two departments. The prescribed maximum number of 80 students in one room was therefore considerably exceeded and the procurement of a fifth classroom could no longer be postponed. In 1839 the emperor approved the amount of 11,086 guilders for the renovation, which was also to include the fifth classroom. Until then, the school was housed in the old, completely inadequate rooms, the building was badly preserved, and the storey height was far too low. Since the number of schoolchildren had grown to 460 in 1832, each of the four department classes held over a hundred students, and the teachers reluctantly went into the overcrowded and unhealthy rooms due to the fumes. For the rental of the absolutely necessary fifth classroom in some private house, Dr. Wirer agreed to dispute the interest. dr Wirer had also taken on the young women of the market and in 1832 in Ischl set up and maintained the first handicraft school in the Kammergut entirely at his own expense. As early as the following year, a hundred girls enjoyed free lessons there. dr Wirer also bought the raw materials needed for the spinning school and used the school's products only for the benefit of the children, he clothed the poorest and gave presents to the hard-working. The small village school in Pfandl near Ischl also needed an extension in 1835, and the school-friendly residents of the up-and-coming town had asked for it. The soup facilities in Hallstatt and Ebensee, established in 1845 and open during the winter months, were a beneficial welfare institution for the school children of the salt workers. On May 14, 1869, the "Reichs Volksschulgesetz" was passed. "Every elementary school is a public institution and as such is accessible to young people regardless of their religious affiliation." Among other things, compulsory schooling for eight years was introduced, collections of teaching materials and school libraries were established. The school system then took an enormous upswing.

Hoher Wasserstollen - höchster Stollen am Ischler Salzberg 11 b The stone main channel "Between the mountains" The Ischl salt dome has the shape of a flat wedge that tapers upwards and inclines towards the north, which strikes from east to west. In the area of the Reinfalzalm, the salt-bearing layers bite out to the surface. As the wedge-shaped deposit is tapered upwards, the upper adits were a major disappointment. The north-south extent of the salt deposit was only 40 m, the east-west strike around 250 m. In this small salt deposit, the leach works quickly reached the overburden and thus water-bearing limestone layers. The penetration of so-called scour water repeatedly led to extensive factory collapses, which, due to the small thickness of the overlying layers of cover, continued into the day area of the Reinfalzalm and into the area "between the mountains" south of the Reinfalzalm. The surface water collected in the resulting caverns ("Pingen") and penetrated unhindered into the pit areas with sometimes devastating consequences. As early as 1600, the need to collect surface water in wooden gutters in order to quickly drain it away from the collapsed areas of the Reinfalzalm and thus prevent further damage in mining was recognized. In 1738 there was a catastrophic flood in the Streybel and Seitzen weir in the Frauenholz tunnel. For this reason, an inspection was held on April 16, 1738, at which it was decided to dig a new water tunnel (middle water tunnel) in the Reinfalzalm area to search for the waste water and to extend the existing drainage system. However, the hoped-for success did not materialize, since fresh water entered the Frauenholz tunnel unhindered until the construction of a water pit in the Lipplesgraben tunnel in 1769. This water scour was successfully driven underground into the almost 15 m deep Pinge, which is still clearly visible in the area today, to drain off the water. The drainage system at the Reinfalz was expanded in 1746 and 1741 in order to be able to safely drain the harmful surface water above the salt storage. In 1769 Hofkammerrat Gigant found the surface water that had penetrated the Frauenholz tunnel well summarized in the Lipplesgraben tunnel. To protect the salt storage against the sedimentation of rainwater, the surface area was already criss-crossed by a dense network of drainage ditches and side channels, the ongoing maintenance of which, however, required great expense. In order to reduce this, the Verwesamt decided in 1795 to give up that part of the drainage system that ran over lettuce, i.e. water-impermeable ground, and where there was no longer any fear of the further penetration of surface water. A major repair of the then already 1,125 fathoms (2,133.54 m) long main and side gutter system, which was partly made of batten and partly consisted of wooden gutters, was carried out in the years 1830 - 1831. In 1843 there were again extensive factory collapses at the Ischler Salzberg. The Erlach works in the Frauenholz tunnel and the Mohr and Freund works in the Elisabeth tunnel collapsed, allowing large amounts of polluted water to penetrate from the surface layers. In addition to the excavation of the Keel rubble in the Amalia tunnel for direct underground exploration of the waterways, it was also decided to further expand the water channels on the Reinfalzalm above. In order to reduce the repair work and the associated costs for the extensive water channel, this was made from hand-hewn limestone blocks instead of wood from 1840 when repair work was required. The standard cross-section of the cuboid drainage system was set at 20 cm deep and 45 cm wide. The first cuboid drainage system was built between 1840 and 1850 over a length of 92 fathoms (174.48 m) from the Reinfalzanger to the Niederes Wasserstollen. In 1892, the Imperial and Royal Ministry of Finance approved the construction of a workers' accommodation hut made of stone masonry as a replacement for the wooden tunnel hut built in 1567 on the Lipplesgraben tunnel. At the end of 1905, the total length of the drainage system was 1,103.00 m. Of this, 201.30 m were made of wood and 901.70 m of ashlar. From 1913, prefabricated concrete elements began to be used instead of the laboriously hand-made ashlar blocks. The so-called "cement channels" with two different standard profiles (45 or 35 cm wide and 20 cm deep) were manufactured in the Perneck tube works not far from the Leopold tunnel. In the years 1913, 1917 - 1918 and 1918 - 1919 another 135 m of the wooden gutter were replaced by cement gutters. From 1924, as a result of renewed factory collapses, extensive subsidence and landslides occurred in the south-eastern area of the Reinfalzalm. By 1927, an area of more than 9,500 m² was in motion. This also affected the stone main drainage system, which was destroyed over a length of around 150 m. As a replacement, two inexpensive wooden gutters were built parallel to the destroyed main gutter. Until 1950, the "Stone and wooden water channel between the mountains" was repaired annually by the Ischl salt mine. The construction crew lived in the tunnel hut near the Lipplesgraben tunnel. After the completion of the maintenance work on the water channel, the tunnel hut was leased from the salt pans to the Upper Austrian Cave Researchers' Association. In the course of the construction of a forest path "Between the Mountains" at the beginning of the 1970s, large areas of the stone main drainage system were destroyed or covered over. In May/June 2020, members of the IGM were able to uncover this mining historical monument, which is important for the Ischler Salzberg, over a length of approx. 100 m with considerable effort and only by hand.

Details zur Bergsäge Details zur Bergsäge beim Maria Theresia Stollen Mit der Bergsäge beim Maria Theresia Stollen haben wir in Perneck einen noch weitgehend unbekannten, montanhistorischen Schatz ersten Ranges. Warum ist die Pernecker Bergsäge so bedeutend: Sie ist das letzte vollständig erhaltene technische Relikt des Pernecker Salzbergs. Sie wurde 1842 als erste Säge der k:k: Monarchie mit einem Riemenantrieb ausgestattet. Der damalige Bergbaubetriebsleiter Franz von Schwind schaffte mit diesem Umbau die Leistung der Säge mehr als zu verdoppeln Dieses Riemengetriebe ist auf wundersame Weise bis heute vollständig erhalten geblieben. Bei der Übersiedlung der Säge vom Steinberg zum heutigen Standort 1867 sowie bei der Elektrifizierung 1950 wurde es zum Glück nicht ausgebaut. Die historische Entwicklung der Bergsäge ist durch Akten im Salinenarchiv Leharstöckl fast lückenlos dokumentiert. Unsere Bergsäge ist die letzte aus dieser Zeit stammende, vollständig erhaltene Säge im inneren Salzkammergut. Und die Bergsäge liegt in unmittelbarer Nähe zur zentralen Viasalis-Schaustelle beim Maria Theresia-Stollen, die heuer durch einen Huntslauf erweitert wird. Geschichte, Pläne, Technik der Pernecker Bergsäge All diese Gründe haben dazu geführt, dass seit dem Jahr 2020 von der „Interessensgemeinschaft Mitterbergstollen“ (IGM) und deren Helfern intensiv an der Erhaltung der Bergsäge gearbeitet wird: Die Säge wurde entrümpelt, gesäubert und Gebäudeöffnungen verschlossen. Der Vorplatz wurde gerodet, umfangreiche Holzschlägerungen durchgeführt, die Stützmauern freigelegt und die Treppe vom Theresia-Stollen herauf saniert. Mehrere komplizierte Baumfällungen waren zum Schutz des Sägendaches nötig. Seit Jahren wird das schadhafte Dach regelmäßig mit Planen eingedeckt, die leider immer wieder von Sturmböen zerstört werden. Für diese umfangreichen und andauernden Arbeiten wurden von der IGM und deren Helfer bisher über 400 ehrenamtliche Stunden aufgewendet. Aber nur so konnte die bereits Ende der 1980er Jahre stillgelegte Bergsäge ohne größere Schäden bis zum heutigen Tag erhalten werden. Parallel zu diesen Arbeiten wurden laufend Gespräche mit zahlreichen Institutionen geführt, um die finanziellen Mittel für die dringend nötige Sanierung aufzutreiben. Jahrelang leider vergeblich, bis uns im Sommer 2024 die Geschäftsführung der Salinen Immobilen mit der Idee konfrontierte, uns die Säge zu schenken. Vereinsgründung: Da die IGM als Interessensgemeinschaft keine Rechtspersönlichkeit darstellt war schnell klar, dass ein Trägerverein gegründet werden muss. Eine der wesentlichen Stärken der IGM war und ist, dass alle Mitglieder und Helfer gleichgestellt sind. Es gibt keinen Vorstand, keinen Kassaprüfer und keine Wahlen. Alles funktioniert auf gegenseitiges Vertrauen und gegenseitiger Wertschätzung. Das dies sehr gut funktioniert, zeigen unsere vielen erfolgreich umgesetzten Projekte. Deshalb war und ist innerhalb der IGM eine gesunde Portion Skepsis gegenüber einer Vereinsgründung vorhanden. Aber was wäre die Alternative gewesen? Herr Hentschel von den Salinen Immobilien sprach im Sommer 2024 klare Worte: „Falls Ihr keinen Verein gründet, um die Säge zu übernehmen, wird sie zeitnah abgetragen und dann ist sie für Euch Geschichte.“ Nach intensiven Vorgesprächen wurde im August 2024 der Beschluss gefasst, einen Erhaltungsverein bei der Vereinsbehörde anzumelden, um gegenüber den Salinen Immobilien handlungsfähig zu bleiben. Die Übergabeverhandlungen konnten nun Ende August 2024 starteten. Diese zogen sich doch etwas in die Länge, da wesentliche Punkte wie Geh- und Fahrrechte, Erhaltung der Zufahrtsstraße sowie finanzielle Fragen zu klären waren. Am 21. November 2024 konnten Horst Feichtinger und Hans Kranabitl als Vereinsgründer nach positiven Abschluss der Verhandlungen den Schenkungsvertrag notariell unterzeichnen. Im Zuge der behördlichen Vertragsprüfung durch das Bauamt der Stadtgemeinde Bad Ischl stellte sich aber heraus, dass laut OÖ. Baurecht zu Gebäudeparzellen auch ein 3 m breiter, das Bauobjekt umgebender Grünstreifen, nötig ist. Nach Zustimmung des Salinen-Vorstandes wurde der Schenkungsvertrag um diesen 3 m breiten Grünstreifen erweitert. Der nun auch dem Erhaltungsverein gehörende Grünstreifen ermöglicht ein problemloseres Arbeiten am Gebäude. Eventuelle Nachbarschaftskonflikte wegen der das Gebäude teilweise umgebenden Wiese sind nun vom Tisch. Die nötigen Vermessungen wurden bereits durchgeführt und der Vertrag sollte laut Auskunft der Salinen Immobilien, bis spätestens April 2025 unterschriftsreif sein. Schenkungsvertrag: Was beinhaltet nun der Schenkungsvertrag: Der Erhaltungsverein bekommt die Bergsäge samt 3 m Grünstreifen als Schenkung übertragen. Mit dieser Schenkung verbunden ist die Verpflichtung zur Erhaltung des Gebäudes der Bergsäge. Falls die Bergsäge durch Brand oder Naturgewalt unwiederbringlich zerstört würde, fallen die im Zuge der Schenkung übertragenen Grundstücke wieder an Salinen Immobilien zurück. Für die Schenkung besteht ein Veräußerungsverbot. Der Erhaltungsverein bekommt das Gehrecht von der Via Salis Schaustelle beim Maria Theresia Stollen über die Knappenstiege bis zur Bergsäge. Außerdem bekommt der Verein für Erhaltungs- und Versorgungsfahrten das Fahrrecht am Zufahrtsweg von der Radgraben-Straße. Dieser Zufahrtsweg ist leider in einem sehr schlechten, sanierungsbedürftigen Zustand. Auf diese Situation weisen im Vertrag einige für uns sehr wichtige Punkte hin. Schließlich bekommt der Erhaltungsverein von den Salinen Immobilien noch eine finanzielle Starthilfe von 11.000.- €, die für die dringend nötige Dachsanierung verwendet wird. Geplante Sanierungsarbeiten: Da das Gebäude der Bergsäge dringend sanierungsbedürftig ist, sind nachfolgende Baumaßnahmen zeitnah geplant. Dachsanierung: Bereits im Dezember 2024 erfolgte die Auftragsvergabe für die Neueindeckung des gesamten Sägegebäudes an die Fa. Lukic Dach GmbH, Bad Ischl. Die Sanierungsarbeiten sollen nach Unterzeichnung des revidierten Schenkungsvertrages im Mai 2025 starten. Erneuerung der nord- und westseitigen Außenfassade: Wegen der schwierigen bachseitigen Zugänglichkeit soll das für die Dachsanierung aufgebaute Gerüst auch für die Erneuerung der Außenfassade weiter benützt werden. Die Fassadensanierung samt Austausch der schadhaften Teile des Bodenkranzes soll im Sommer 2025 erfolgen. Schaffung eines Lager- und Technikraumes unterhalb der Saumsäge: Unter der Saumsäge soll auf einem stabilen Betonfundament in Riegelbauweise ein versperrbarer Lager- bzw. Technikraum errichtet werden. Einbau von Schiebetüren: Anstatt der derzeitigen Klapptore beim Holzplatz sollen stabile, versperrbare Holz-Schiebetore eingebaut werden. Errichtung eines Schauraumes im Zubau der Säumsäge: Im Bereich der Saumsäge ist mittelfristig die Errichtung eines abgeschlossenen Schauraumes geplant. Dort sollen Exponate aus dem Bereich der Bergsäge sowie des Pernecker Salzbergbaues ausgestellt werden. Finanzielle Situation: Der Erhaltungsverein Bergsäge Maria Theresia Stollen ist ein gemeinnütziger Verein, dessen Aktivitäten aus Mitgliedsbeiträgen, Spenden und Förderungen finanziert werden müssen. Von den oben angeführten Sanierungsarbeiten kann derzeit lediglich die Dachsanierung sowie ein Teil der Außenfassade finanziert werden. Damit ist die Bausubstanz der Bergsäge mittelfristig gesichert. Die Umsetzung der weiteren, angedachten Baumaßnahmen hängt ganz wesentlich von möglichen Spenden und Förderungen, sowie von der Bereitschaft der Vereinsmitglieder sich bei Arbeitseinsätzen zu beteiligen, ab.

After his checkered service - recorded in 1829 as mountain student, he worked in Ebensee, in Ischl, in Hallein, in Hallstatt, he also served in the Galician kk Salinas - he came in 1851 as Hüttenmeister to Aussee. The "Hüttenschaffer" Ritter became known in 1840 when he died introduced desk firing in the construction of a brick kiln with great success. He saved firewood and through the complete combustion of the wood, the salt be obtained purer. In addition to his work, he dealt with current topics, which he recorded in drawings. He is described as a "funny coot" and became more than locally known for his apt joke drawings. Experts referred to him as "Wilhelm Busch von Aussee". Numerous pen drawings also received Anna Plochl, who also valued his art very much. Hüttenmeister Ritter also gave an interesting description of carnival in 1876, in which he finally said: "....Memories of 3 beautiful days, the culmination of a momentous dream, similar to our whole life, where everyone tries to fool the other and to meet the task of finding their way forward by deceiving their neighbor."

Mountain houses near Empress Maria Theresia – tunnels After the attack on the Empress Maria Theresia Stollen, which was called Kaiser Franz Stollen until 1808, with great solemnity on September 26, 1775, the kk Ministerial - Banko - Hof - Deputation approved the construction of a mountain house on Steinbalfen with a resolution of February 25, 1782 , the later so-called "Old Mountain House". The building, which was built in 1783, originally contained one large and two small servants' rooms and a kitchen on the ground floor, on the first floor two master rooms, a kitchen and a room with a chamber for one spectator. The construction costs were 2,693 fl 30 kr. (in 2020 approx. €53,900 monetary value according to the “Historical Currency Calculator”, www.eurologische.at ). The core substance of the Old Theresia Berghaus took up a floor plan area of 15.2 x 9.8 m, reached an eaves height of 6.9 m and a ridge height of 10.7 m. The double roof truss was covered with larch boards and in the eaves area with sheet metal strips . The living conditions can be illustrated by the fact that 24 servants slept on the ground floor on 44.5 m², while the viewer alone had a 18.5 m² bedroom at his disposal. As early as 1784, the mountain forge was built as the second mountain building directly at the mouth of the Maria Theresia tunnel.

18 The Rabenbrunn tunnel Stud Name: "Rabenbrunn - Stollen" as locality name Struck: 1692 Length: 1,116 m Altitude: 800 meters Since the old Steinberg tunnel was rich in salt, especially towards the depths, the Rabenbrunn tunnel was dug in 1692 under Emperor Leopold I in order to use it. The Rabenbrunn Stollen - main shaft was initially in gravel mountains, then a long stretch in solid limestone. The initial direction of advance was to the south-east, to undercut the old Steinberg tunnel. After 320 Stabel (381.4m) of tunneling, the direction of tunneling was to go under the New Steinberg - Tunnel pivoted to the east. After the construction of the connecting line with the same, the main shaft of the Rabenbrunn tunnel was swung back to the south-east to undercut the old Steinberg tunnel. In 1725, when the Rabenbrunn tunnel had already been extended to 913 Stabel (1088.3m), the first traces of salt were found. Initially, there was the hope of going under the rich dams built in the Old Steinberg tunnel. Therefore, several search routes were excavated, but without encountering rich salt agents. The salt was found everywhere only in such short resources that hardly a single pumping station could be built. In 1737 all hopes of finding salt mountains with the Rabenbrunn tunnel were finally abandoned. A mistake uncovered by the Starhemberg Commission in 1707 was the hasty opening of the Rabenbrunn tunnel to undercut the Old Steinberg tunnel, before a test dig from the Old Steinberg tunnel made sure that the Haselgebirge really was there. How right Starhemberg was proved later. For 20 years one had then continued to build and the Rabenbrunn - tunnel lengthened a total of 936 rods (1115.7m) without leaving the limestone; only at the beginning was the Haselgebirge, but only 21 Stabel (25.0m) in length. Because of these poor prospects and other, more important tunnel drives, further tunneling of the Rabenbrunn tunnel was stopped entirely in 1739. Only the main shaft, together with the small mountain house and the mountain forge that were built there, were still maintained. When the test drives carried out in the Old Steinberg tunnel to further uncover the salt mountains in 1751 on the Eysel bend and other places did not have any favorable success, the Old Steinberg tunnel and the Rabenbrunn tunnel were soon completely abandoned.

Rosas Wasserfälle 3 a Rosas waterfalls: On May 7th, the members of the IG-Mitterbergstollen - Via Salis graveled the approximately 100 meter long path to the "pink waterfalls" in the Perneck district of Bad Ischl, set up the information board and the benches and installed the signposts. An extraordinarily attractive sight has thus been opened up for Perneck and Bad Ischl. Figure 1: Rosa's Waterfalls, 2021 IGM The naming of these cascades, known as "Rosa's waterfalls", is derived from Countess Rosa v. Kolowrat, who really enjoyed visiting this vantage point. As early as 1809, Johann August Schultes, in his travels through Upper Austria, described "The two waterfalls on the lschler Salzberg" as "a very rewarding game". pink v Kolowrat Countess Maria Rosa Johanna v. Kolowrat was born on May 23, 1780 as the daughter of Count Kinsky and married Count Franz Anton von Kolowrat-Liebsteinsky in 1801. The marriage remained childless, Countess Rosa Kolowrat died on March 16, 1842. Figure 2: Rosa von Kolowrat, Internet Wikipedia Franz Anton von Kolowrat Count Franz Anton von Kolowrat-Liebsteinsky, *01/31/1778, +04/04/1861, headed the finance section as Minister of State from 1827 and from 1835, together with Prince Clemens Metternich, was a permanent member of the secret state conference, which from 1836 to 1848 governed government affairs in the led the Habsburg Empire. After Metternich's resignation in 1848 he was the first constitutional prime minister. Figure 3: Franz Anton von Kolowrat, Internet Wikipedia The Kolowrat family in the Salzkammergut In 1830 the Minister of State acquired the "Schlössl am Wolfsbühel", which was called "Schloss Kolowrat" from then on. He was made an honorary citizen of lschl in 1831. The new brewhouse built in lschl in 1834 was named "Graf Kolowrat-Sudwerk". Today's "Adalbert-Stifter-Kai" was called "Kolowrat-Kai" at that time and today's Bahnhofstraße was called "Kolowrat-Allee" in 1837. Around 1835, Count Kolowrat built a "big Swiss house" on the Hoisenradalm and in 1836 he had a lookout tower built on the "Hohen Perneck". This existed from 1836 to 1863. Since then this mountain peak has been called "Kolowratshöhe". The connecting road between Strobl and Schwarzenbach, built in 1840, was named "Rosa-Straße" in honor of Countess Rosa von Kolowrat.
