My community

My community is Pregarten.

It is located in the heart of the lower "Mühlviertel", about 20 km northeast of Linz. Pregarten became a market town in 1459 and has been recognized as a town sinze 2003.

Our mayor is called Anton Scheuwimmer and he is a member of teh people's party.
Helga Hofstadler is our deputy mayor. She is a member of the Social Democrats and she is the headmistress of the secondary school 1.

We have 3 kindergartens, a primary school, 2 secondary schools and a polytechnic school. There is also a music school which is in the famous culture centre "Bruckmühle". The concert hall in the "Findling" is built in the shape of a standing stone - typical for the Mühlviertel region.

Tragweinerstraße is the shopping street of Pregarten. There is a chemist's shop, an optician, a bakery, a butcher shop, a petrol station and many other shops. But there are also many shops on the city square.

There is an attractive outdoor swimming pool "Lagune" with a slide, a 3 m high diving platform and a Jacuzzi. In the winter you can frequent the indoor swimming pool with sauna and steam bath. There are 2 sport clubs in Pregarten, ASKÖ and UNION.

I like in Pregarten that it is near Linz, because there are great fashion shops. I also like that there are a lot of education places, so I don't have to go far away to get to school.
