Hike
Oberndorf can be used as a starting point for various hikes
in the surrounding area, both on the Austrian side (e.g. in the
direction of Haunsberg) and on the German side (e.g. to the Abtsdorfer
See).
Silent Night Peace Walk
The Silent Night Peace Trail is
a special feature. The theme trail set up in 2018 to mark the 200th
anniversary of the Christmas carol Silent Night holy night is dedicated
to different aspects of peace over a distance of 12 km and just as many
stations.
The beginning and end of the path through several
neighboring communities is the Silent Night district around the Memorial
Chapel. The path first runs along the Salzach, then - after a loop
through the old town of Laufen - over the Calvary to Maria Bühel,
further via the small towns of Buchach (municipality of Sankt Georgen
near Salzburg) and Loipferding (municipality of Lamprechtshausen) to
Arnsdorf (municipality of Lamprechtshasusen) to the local Silent Night
square with a pilgrimage church and a small museum, finally again via
several small towns in the municipality of Göming (Gunsering,
Mittergöming, Kirch). goeming, goeming) back to Oberndorf.
At
each station there is a wooden stele with a quote or phrase on an aspect
of peace to stimulate thought. In addition, a QR code is attached,
which, when scanned with a mobile phone, leads to a website with further
information.

As a suburb of the town of Laufen on the left bank of the river,
Oberndorf originally belonged to the Salzburggau of the Duchy of
Bavaria. In the 13th century, the Archbishops of Salzburg were able to
purchase the area that later became Rupertiwinkel. In 1275, Landshut's
Duke Heinrich confirmed Salzburg's western border with the Chiemgau.
This marked the beginning of the detachment of the state of Salzburg
from the mother state of Bavaria. In 1328, Salzburg had become a largely
independent state through the enactment of its own provincial ordinance.
With the Treaty of Munich in 1816, Laufen, together with the
Rupertiwinkel, was separated from Salzburg and added to Bavaria.
Oberndorf became Austrian and thus a border town between the Kingdom of
Bavaria and Austria, while Laufen remained in the Salzachkreis
(dissolved in 1817) of the Kingdom of Bavaria.
In the 19th
century, due to the construction of the railway, shipping on the
Salzach, which had been important for the salt trade until then,
decreased more and more. The last salt transport took place in 1871.
Until the end of the 19th century, the town consisted of a few
houses at the bend in the Salzach, where today the Alte Landstraße meets
the Schöffleutgasse, as well as a few houses further down the river
along today's Uferstraße. At least since 1278 there was a wooden yoke
bridge across the Salzach roughly where the Europasteg is today. It
connected the town hill and the lower town gate in Laufen with the foot
of the Calvary in Oberndorf. Over the centuries, Laufen and, above all,
the lower Oberndorf suffered from floods that damaged or completely
destroyed the bridge, as in the years 1314, 1508, 1567, 1598, 1786 and
1787. In August 1896 an exceptionally high flood ripped away part of the
bridge again. While the plans for a higher iron arch bridge were still
being planned, on July 31 and August 1, 1897 there was a flood that
exceeded the last by a meter and not only tore down the provisionally
repaired wooden bridge again, but also made the previous plans for the
new bridge obsolete. It was finally agreed to build an even higher
bridge when the floods of September 13th and 14th, 1899 exceeded all
previously registered marks and the last plans for a higher bridge were
also wasted. This flood exceeded the access roads to the previous bridge
by two to three meters and damaged or destroyed almost all buildings in
Oberndorf, including the late baroque Nikolauskirche.
It was
therefore decided to build a bridge at the current location, the Salzach
Bridge (Laufen–Oberndorf), an idea that had previously failed due to
resistance from both communities. The terrain there was high enough so
that the access roads could also be laid out without flooding. In the
course of the construction of the new bridge, the previous Oberndorf was
largely abandoned and demolished and a new village with a new church was
built by the new bridge.
The mayor at the time did not approve
the laying of Austria's first stumbling block by the KNIE art
initiative, which was requested in 1997.
With effect from April
30, 2001, it was elevated to the status of a town (law of February 7,
2001, with which the market town of Oberndorf near Salzburg was elevated
to the status of a town).
For the common history of Laufen and
Oberndorf from early history to 1816 and for salt shipping, see History
of Laufen.
The town of Oberndorf near Salzburg is located on the right bank of the Salzach about 17 kilometers north of the city of Salzburg in the Flachgau on the border with Bavaria. The municipality is part of the judicial district of Seekirchen and was the seat of the judicial district of Oberndorf until February 2023. It extends about 2.2 kilometers from west to east and about 3.3 kilometers from north to south. The urban area covers 4.55 square kilometers. Of this, 7 percent is building land, 16 percent gardens, 49 percent agricultural land and 8 percent forest.
Silent Night Holy Night
In Oberndorf, the Christmas carol Silent
Night, Holy Night was first publicly performed in 1818 at Christmas mass
in the old parish church of St. Nikolai by the curate Joseph Mohr
(lyrics) and the teacher Franz Xaver Gruber (melody), who worked in
Arnsdorf. The Silent Night Chapel has stood there since 1937. The Silent
Night Museum is in the immediate vicinity. Every year on December 24th a
Christmas celebration takes place at the chapel.
The Mohr-Gruber
memorial stands in front of the current parish church for the song's
creators.
The German-Austrian TV film The Eternal Song (1997)
about Pastor Joseph Mohr takes place in Oberndorf around the year 1818.
In 2018, the Christmas carol and its message were the subject of a
state exhibition, at which Oberndorf was one of several exhibition
locations.

Song table Oberndorf:
The Oberndorf Liedertafel was founded in
1878 as a male choir and continued as a mixed choir after the first
year. In 1951, the members initiated the commemoration ceremony at the
Silent Night Chapel in honor of the creators of the Christmas carol,
which still exists today. In 2018 the Liedertafel celebrated its 140th
anniversary. The repertoire of the 43-member choir includes folk songs,
musicals, hits, gospel and religious hymns as well as classical songs.
Regular performances include an annual summer concert, an Advent concert
in the pilgrimage church of Maria Bühel, performances at the Christmas
market and at Christmas at the memorial service on December 24th at the
Silent Night Chapel (with a performance of the original version of
Silent Night holy night) and at the Stefani Mass on December 26th in the
parish church.

Oberndorf can be reached by public transport from Salzburg with the
Salzburg S-Bahn (line S1 of the Salzburg local train) every half hour,
sometimes every quarter of an hour (line S11) in around 25 minutes.
There are four stops within the city area: Oberndorf b. Salzburg (also
called Oberndorf Bahnhof), as well as the Oichtensiedlung,
Oberndorf-Laufen and Ziegelhaiden stops. The city can also be reached by
post buses.
Oberndorf is located on Lamprechtshausener Straße (B
156), which today as a bypass only passes the city area on the edge. The
former course of the B156 through the city area is now known throughout
the city as Salzburger Straße. The southern feeder section is the only
2.2 km long B 156a, which now branches off in the heart of the city to
the Salzach Bridge in Laufen and ends there.
It is also possible
to cover the entire route from Salzburg to Oberndorf (and far beyond) by
bike or on foot along a stepped path along the Salzach, which since the
second half of the 2010s has led through the protected Weitwörther Au in
the last section before Oberndorf. The entire route from Salzburg and
further downstream is part of the Tauernradweg.
From the German
side you can get to Oberndorf on the federal highway 20 through the
urban area of Laufen and over the Salzach Bridge. In 2007, a new
crossing of the river for pedestrians and cyclists, the Europasteg, was
also opened, connecting Oberndorf and Laufen on the site of an earlier
bridge. The pilots of that still stand today.
