is an Austrian dance and has no certain birthdate, but evolved as a type of Folk dance known under different names, until it was finally called the 'Landl ob der Enns' which was shortened to Landler, Ländler or Ländl sometime around 1690 when it gained popularity around 1720. The word "Ländler" comes from the word "Land" ("Country"), a dance coming from the countryside in opposite to dances from the court or city also signifying the state of Upper Austria (Ober Österreich) and the adjoining Styria (Steiermark).
