Abbreviations in Austrian Catholic church registers?
I frequently find abbreviations in the Austria Catholic Church registers that I cannot figure out. I am wondering if someone could help me? A frequent one is V.U.M.B. I have attached an example in the bride's entry For the marriage of Anton Panholzer.

Previously answered in "old" community. V.U.M.B. = Viertel unter dem Manhartsberg, which is located in Niederösterreich.

Hello @CarrieATaylor,
I am a non-Church volunteer and have nothing to do with the installation of the new community platform. That said, I checked the membership roster of the Austro-Hungarian Empire group (which anyone can check) in the new community platform and you are still listed as a member of the group. So you don't have to sign up for this group again.
Best regards,Robert Seal_1

V.U.M.B. is an Austrian geographic abbreviation which stands for: Viertel unter dem Manhartsberg. This translates as: quarter under the Manhartsberg or area below the Manhartsberg. This area is located in Lower Austria.
Here is a link about this area from Wikipedia:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weinviertel
See the first sentence. This area is also known as the "Weinviertel".
Here is a link about Manhartsberg, which is a mountain ridge in Lower Austria, from Wikipedia:

The bride in the record comes from Bösendürnbach in the Parish of Mühlendorf.
Here is a link about Bösendürnbach from the German Wikipedia:

Given the context in which you find the abbreviation V.U.M.B., does this explanation make sense?

Here is another link which may prove helpful:

See under the section "Niederösterreich" for the abbreviation "VUMB".
Surprisingly, there's also an abbreviation for "VOMB".
Again, use your browser's translate function to translate to English.
