Upper Austria has always been part of the Babenberg-Habsburg heartlands. While connected to missionary work as well as to expanding monasteries and abbeys in medieval times, it became a centre of protestan-tism and peasant wars in early modern times – against the backdrop of pronounced manorialism, which applied strong influence on people. The smoking chimneys refer to (early) manufactories as well as – more macabre and problematically – to the concentration camps of the twentieth century. And then there is Linz – with at least two sides: being the centre of the early modern land on the one side and a national socialist „Führer“ city with its utopian plans to become a aequivalent to Berlin on the other side.
