Lieserhofen motorway junction

Lieserhofen is a district or a cadastral municipality in the municipality of Seeboden am Millstätter See in the Spittal an der Drau district in the Austrian state of Carinthia . The place is at the foot of the Gmeineck ( Reisseck group ) at the entrance to the Liesertal and was an independent municipality until 1973. The Upper Carinthian traffic hub , the Spittal / Millstätter See motorway junction of the Tauern motorway (A 10), is located in the local area .

The village of Lieserhofen has 478 inhabitants. Other localities belonging to the cadastral community are Lieserbrücke (791), Lurnbichl (243), Karlsdorf (158) and Litzldorf (11) in the valley on the Lieser (as of January 1, 2020).

Streets

The place has been characterized by its location above the valley floor at the entrance to the Liesertal since ancient times. The church village is about 3.5 km from Teurnia , the former Roman center of Upper Carinthia on the Roman road Via Julia Augusta . A Roman side road led via Gmünd at the Katschberg Pass over the Alps to Salzburg. Traces can still be found today on the “Old Roman Road” from Lieserhofen to Trebesing, which largely follows the course . In 1554 Lieserhofen lost its position as a toll station because King Ferdinand I ordered it to be moved deeper into the Liesertal to Kremsbrücke. Gradually, the old road on the top of the mountain was replaced by the larger one immediately below on the Lieser, from which today's Katschberg-Straße (B 99) emerged . Up in Lieserhofen it got quieter and the traffic shifted to the lower lying district of Lieserbrücke near Lieseregg . The strong increase in car tourism from Germany to Carinthia or the former Yugoslavia and the Adriatic Sea from the 1960s onwards led to permanent traffic congestion and permanent congestion in the summer months. Relief was only brought about by the construction of the Tauern Autobahn from the beginning of the 1970s, which was initially planned as part of the Reichsautobahn in the German Reich from 1938 to 1942. Today the Lieserhofen motorway junction dominates the local area. The branch to the west leads to the upper Drautal and Mölltal , the branch to the east to Lake Millstatt and the Nock area .

history

The first written record dates from 1065 to 1075 as Lisirahovun . In 1197 the “Hof an der Liser” is written as de Liserhofe , 1252 Liserhouen . In the period after 1076, the Brixen monastery built an office building in Lieserhofen to facilitate the management of its property, after it had received several hubs in Lieserhofen, on the Hühnersberg and Altersberg as gifts from several nobles, especially a noble woman Pezala . This today still preserved office building known as "Blochrader" was chosen on December 27, 1251 as neutral ground for the peace of Lieserhofen . After a bitter feud, the peace treaty regulated the areas of influence of Count Albert III. von Tirol and his son-in-law Meinhard III. von Gorizia on the one hand and the Salzburg Elector Philipp von Spanheim (and his father, Duke Bernhard of Carinthia ) on the other, with the Counts of Gorizia-Tyrol suffering heavy losses.

On October 26, 1809, the area between Fatres and Lieserhofen was the scene of a bloody battle in the Fifth Coalition War , in which 279 French died. Parallel to Andreas Hofer in Tyrol , Johann Baptist Türk organized the resistance ("Kärntner Landsturm") against the French in Carinthia . A barracks built in 1936 in nearby Spittal an der Drau was named after him.

Churches

Filial church St. Laurenz (Lorenz) in Lieserhofen

The church of St. Laurentius from the middle of the 17th century, which can be seen from afar and is on a hill next to the village, received a new tower in 1958. The Way of the Cross with 14 stations was built in 1846 and has pictures of the Way of the Cross by Hans Freudenschuss from the 1930s. For the high altar there are five altar leaves from the beginning of the 20th century, which are changed accordingly during the church year. It is assumed that the church goes back to a Romanesque complex. The old structure can be clearly seen in a watercolor from 1813, where a small, raised window typical of Romanesque village churches can be seen in the area of ​​the singing gallery. Noteworthy are the two large, square wall openings diagonally below that existed at this time, which indicate that the little church was profaned at that time, i.e. that it served as a stable. While this church was being consecrated again, this was no longer the case with the little church in St. Paul, a few kilometers away on the Hühnersberg (Hirschberg). There the church was used as a residential building until the 1960s and was later replaced by a single-family house. St. Laurentius was converted into a slightly larger church in the middle of the 19th century. On the basis of bone finds around the church, it seems likely that it was a fiefdom's own church , probably from the nearby Amthof in Brixen , similar to St. Magdalena ob Molzbichl . The terrain was too sloping and the church too small for a village cemetery. On the south wall of the church there is a marble epitaph which reads as follows: “For the deceased L Seccio Summo and his wife Seccia Cupita, his best parents, the son Lucius Seccius Summus had (the tomb) made for himself while he was still alive as well as his best wife Lunia Fusca. This tomb does not follow the heir. ”The closing formula means that the heir may not be buried in this tomb. The named are Roman citizens, whereby the name Seccius indicates indigenous Celtic descent.

A much older church, St. Michael , first mentioned on June 22, 1352, no longer exists. Since she had no possessions, she was severely neglected. In 1807 the church burned down due to the carelessness of a pitch oil burner and was not rebuilt. The church has almost completely disappeared and can only be seen in an aerial photo. There is no picture, but tradition has it that it consisted of a nave with a round apse and a tower or sacristy built on the south side. In the village square of Lieserhofen there is a brick wayside shrine with a crucifix, which according to tradition is said to come from the church that was destroyed in 1807. Both churches were branch churches of Lieseregg.

Travel description from 1825

In August 1825, the Viennese alpinist and court chamber official Josef Kyselak (1798–1831) stopped by in Lieserbrücke on his Austria hike. He probably took up quarters at today's Gasthof Post at Katschbergstrasse 95:

“With great effort I was now able to inquire about the lonely tavern above the river; if everyone wanted to expect a reward according to his efforts, he would have to feel highly punished here. But I was all too used to meeting hunger towers of inns on back streets, and straw binders instead of feather beds. At least one never runs the risk of overeating or of sleeping in the sunrise on the soft bed for the night. This time you could have slept half the day without reproaching yourself for it. The annoying rain, already at night through the old shingle roof, informing me of its delightful arrival, romped about in the morning with the most terrible storm winds; Clouds fled in terrible shapes as if roaring in a savage battle, and the unleashed hurricane delivered the thunder of the gun; only the conviction that there was nothing to gain here drove me away. Through the villages of Karlsdorf, Rauten [sic, Raufen], Feichtendorf, which live close together on the low yields of the meadows and heather cornfields, and besides, barbarically eradicate the forests in order to be better located, one arrives at the via Feicht and Lehndorf [sic] Driveway. "

- Josef Kyselak
