Wieselburg
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- Wieselburg is also the German name for Moson, Hungary.
Wieselburg is a town in Lower Austria, located near the River Erlauf. Its name roughly translates to town where two rivers meet, as there are two rivers that run together to create the Erlauf. Its population is approximately 6,500 (including surrounding villages).
A brewery, an agricultural college (Fachhochschule), and one of the oldest churches north of the Alps dating from AD 976 are located in the town. Wieselburg was made a town 1000 years later, in 1976. Annually in the beginning of July an agricultural fair, Wieselburger Messe, takes place.
Adjacent villages include Oberndorf, Mühling, Petzenkirchen, and others.
