アレントシュタイクのおすすめツーリングルート

アステリックス風とは気づきませんでしたが、間違いなく素敵な休憩場所です。

シュロス・ヴァルトライヒスは1258年に初めて文書で言及されました。1400年頃、カスパー・フォン・ヴァルトライヒスとベルンハルト・フォン・ヴァルトライヒスが封建領主として挙げられています。1446年から1448年にかけて身分制執行軍によって破壊された後、1450年頃、ハンス・ハラッサーの下で要塞として再建されました。この時代に、東棟の現在の遺跡、礼拝堂、東塔が建設されました。1460年にヴィンツェンツ・ストドリグクに封建領地として与えられました。1519年から1536年まで、オッテンシュタイン領と合併されていました。1530年から1534年にかけて、エウスタッハ・ストドリグクの下でウォーターキャッスルに改築されました。1533年からは自由な私有財産となりました。1536年にこの施設はアルテナ男爵家に渡り、彼らは外郭とマイヤーホーフを増築しました。皇帝軍による征服と略奪の後、この施設は再び再建され、その後所有者が頻繁に変わりました。1815年にハインリヒ・フォン・ペレイラ＝アーンシュタインの手に渡ったとき、ヴェツラス領と合併されました。

The local authorities succeeded in persuading the master artist Hundertwasser to design and construct a fountain in the main square. The presentation of the fountain model met with both widespread approval and vehement opposition from the residents of Zwettl. In 1994, the fountain, consisting of three main elements—the two fountain columns with basins and the pavilion—was unveiled to the public. Since then, it has been a popular meeting place in the heart of the town. Friedensreich Hundertwasser died in February 2000 at the age of 71.

Until the end of the 19th century, a monumental fountain stood in the middle of the main square, the terminus of Zwettl's oldest water supply system, dating back to the early 17th century; a place where the population gathered, not just to fetch water. A war memorial was erected here in 1925, and from the mid-20th century onward, the square in the heart of the town was primarily used as a park. In the early 1990s, the municipality of Zwettl decided to redesign the main square. The aim was to give the town an attractive central point once again and thus preserve the tradition of the old Zwettl main square for the present and future. Friedensreich Hundertwasser, born Friedrich Stowasser in 1928, had owned an old mill on the banks of the Kamp River above Zwettl since the 1970s.

Originally, after the town's founding, Trinity Square was part of Zwettl's main square, which at that time stretched as an extensive triangular plaza from the townhouses behind the Hundertwasser Fountain to the level of the Hausleitner house above the "Zur Goldenen Rose" inn. The construction of houses along the lower Landstraße, the so-called "Grätzl," significantly narrowed the main square, and the addition of the cross street eventually divided it into two squares.

During the Baroque period, people everywhere were eager to express their gratitude for overcoming the plague years and the Turkish Wars by erecting plague or Trinity columns. In 1727, the pillory in the upper square was replaced by the richly sculpted sandstone column created by Kaspar Högl of Eggenburg. During the last renovation in 1998, extensive environmental damage to the figures was repaired, and the entire column was painted a light yellow. The four life-size statues are, in the center at the front, the Immaculate Conception; to her left, St. Sebastian (pierced by five arrows); to her right, St. Roch (pointing to the plague boil on his thigh); and St. Florian (holding a flag in one hand and a bucket of water in the other). The iron fountain in the immediate vicinity of the Trinity Column is a gift from the then-mayor, Eugen Beck, of the twin town of Plochingen near Stuttgart.
