Hattendorf: Culture and History

In Hattendorf, historic landmarks, a cultural venue, artworks shown during ongoing events, and the building history of a golf club offer different points of interest for a trip. The Saualm Mountain Huts Tour (MTB 18) also passes through Hattendorf. These topics differ in their specific focus, ranging from the location of a cross to event formats and a named tour.

Historic Sites

The Aichbauer Cross stands at the turnoff from Hattendorf to St. Margarethen. The Grazen Cross has a specific historical connection to the time when it was built: between 1925 and 1927. Its historical context also involves Ernst Vallant’s grandmother. The two crosses therefore differ in the information that is most relevant to understanding them: for the Aichbauer Cross, it is its location at the turnoff; for the Grazen Cross, it is its historical period and personal context. If you are interested in local history, these details offer two different perspectives.

Golf Club and Building History

The Golfclub Wolfsberg is a topic in its own right. Since its renovation in 1990/91, the clubhouse has been located in the former stable building of the Knauder farmstead in Hattendorf. The golf course of Golfclub Wolfsberg was built in 1991. The dates refer to two different stages: 1990/91 marks the renovation of the former stable building, while 1991 is the year the golf course was built. This distinction is useful if you are interested in how golf became part of Hattendorf, since the clubhouse and golf course are not assigned a single construction date.

Events and Art

The Container 25 cultural association is based in an old grain mill in Hattendorf. The association hosts concerts, readings, discussions, theatre performances, performances, workshops, and exhibitions, among other events. These different formats offer a practical way to choose events according to your cultural interests. Artworks by Walter Teschl can be seen during ongoing events in the “Artist’s Tower” in Hattendorf near St. Michael. Container 25 therefore focuses on a variety of event formats, while the Artist’s Tower showcases works by a named artist in the setting of ongoing events.

There is also specific parking information to help you find Container 25: parking signs point to a spacious parking area at the back of the farmyard. If the venue is part of your plans, you can follow these signs.

Hattendorf on a Cycling Route

Another connection for travelers is the Saualm Mountain Huts Tour (MTB 18), which passes through Hattendorf. Here, the focus is on the route of a named mountain biking tour, rather than on events or building history. If you include the tour in your travel plans, check the current route before setting off. This lets you consider this cycling option separately from the cultural and historical topics.
