History
The town traces back to the 1600s, descendants of settlers like the Stettner and Hödlmayr families moving southwest near Perg and throughout Upper Austria.
During
Gusen II", the most brutal sub-camp of Mauthausen. In roughly 40,000 m2 of tunnels and caverns dug beneath St. Georgen for the Messerschmitt company a huge and most modern underground assembly plant for Messerschmitt Me 262 fuselages was operated until May 1945 under the code-name B8 Bergkristall - Esche II.[3]
In some trials of the
Nuremberg Military Tribunal
the relatively unknown term St. Georgen granite works was used to prevent the use of locations like Mauthausen or Gusen.
