Altenberg bei Linz is a municipality in the district of Urfahr-Umgebung in the Mühlviertel region in the Austrian state of Upper Austria. GeographyLocated on a southern part of the Zentralmühlviertler Hochland at a altitude of 592 meters, the municipality has a view over the Mühlviertel region, Linz, the capital of Upper Austria as well as the so-called Zentralland and even the foothills of the Northern Limestone Alps. Because of that, it has been described as the "Balcony of Linz".[3][4] HistoryNeolithical finds, show that nomadic hunter-gatherers lived in the region at least temporarily. Celtic Boii and Varisci people settled in the region in pre-Christian times. After conflicts with the Pannonian Avars, slavs are presumed to have moved to region in the 8th century. The Slavic roots of the village name Kulm is a reminder of this. In the 9th century a further wave of bavarian immigrants moved there. In 1245 a document from Passau mentioned a man named "Dominus Karolus de Alkenperge". 3 years later, another document from Passau mentioned the village. This time as "Altenperge".[4] Cultural heritage sitesAs of 2023, there a four cultural heritage sites in Altenberg.[5]
