Former Georg Winiwarter Tin and Lead Factory

Highlight • Monument

For decades, the former Georg Winiwarter tin and lead factory, located directly on the thermal spa cycle path in Gumpoldskirchen, was a classic lost place. The industrial ruins, whose outlines were reflected in the Wiener Neustadt Canal, are a popular photo subject.

On the history of the old tin and lead factory
The factory was built by Georg Ritter von Winiwarter, born in 1822 in Ukraine (Lviv). He was an engineer and industrialist.
In 1851, he founded the Georg Winiwarter tin and lead factory in Gumpoldskirchen with his brother Joseph Max and the chemist H. R. Gersheim. The factory was intended to produce percussion fuses and galvanized sheet iron based on a patent by Gersheim. Lead products were also manufactured from 1857 onwards. From 1865 onwards, after the departure of his co-founders, he ran the company alone. He produced corrugated iron, boiler systems, and stoves. As early as 1858, he recruited Johann Baptist Ulrich from a German wire drawing company, who gradually took over management over the years, especially when Winiwarter had to retire for health reasons. At the 1862 World Exhibition in London, the factory equipped a fireproof and burglar-proof office (Comptoir) made of galvanized sheet iron. In 1890, Winiwarter finally sold the company entirely to Ulrich.

The factory was apparently shut down in 1976. However, contemporary witnesses report school trips in the 1990s when blast furnaces were still being worked on there.

View of Gaaden and the Vienna Woods

Highlight • Viewpoint

This is a beautiful landscape in the south of Vienna that invites you to cycle, hike and enjoy. Here are some information and tips for your trip:
Gaaden is a cozy place in the Vienna Woods, which was known for its wood and lime extraction. Today you can see the local history museum, the Ölberg group, a historic lime kiln and the parish church of St. Visit James the Elder.
The Anninger is the highest mountain in the Vienna Woods at 675 meters. It offers a magnificent view of the surroundings and is a popular destination for hikers and mountain bikers. At the summit is the Anninger Schutzhaus, where you can fortify yourself with regional specialties.
The Kaiser-Jubiläums-Warte is a 20 meter high iron observation tower on the Eschenkogel, a summit of the Anninger. It was built in 1898 for the 50th anniversary of the reign of Emperor Franz Joseph I and offers a fantastic panoramic view of the Vienna Woods, the Vienna Basin and the Alps.
The Vienna Woods is a biosphere park that is home to a unique variety of flora and fauna. Here you can discover rare plants such as the Turk's cap lily or the liverwort, as well as animals such as the black stork, the eagle owl or the fire salamander.
