history

Archaeological finds (weapons, statues, coins) in what is now the municipality indicate the existence of Romans, a late antique relief with four half-length portraits (double tombstone) is walled in in the rectory. The oldest written mention of the area around Brückl comes from the year 831, when Ludwig the German donated this area to the Archbishopric of Salzburg . The church of St. Lorenzen above Brückl was first mentioned in 927.

The place was called Görtschitz or Görtschach until the middle of the 16th century and was an enclave of the Diocese of Lavant and a toll station. In 1548 it was named St. Johann am Brückl after the patronage of the parish church and after a bridge over the Görtschitz , until the name was reduced to Brückl in 1915.

From the late Middle Ages, there was a hammer mill on the site of today's chain works, which processed iron ore from Hüttenberg and was converted into an iron casting works with a machine design office in 1838.

In 1849 the political community was founded under the name St. Johann am Brückl and renamed Brückl in 1915. In 1963, Brückl was given the right to use the name Marktgemeinde .

coat of arms

Coat of arms at brueckl.png

The official blazon of the municipal coat of arms reads: “Split shield, split above. Above in front a green three-mountain in silver, behind in red between silver diagonal bars two right arms stretched out against each other, brightly armored, with bare hands closed together. Below in silver two blue wavy ribbons, covered by a black gear. "

The Dreiberg alludes to the three mountains that determine the landscape: Granikogel ( 892  m ) in the north, Grabuschgupf ( 1221  m ) in the east and Lippekogel ( 1079  m ) in the south. The field with the two armored arms stands for the Counts Christalnigg, who had lived in Brückl since the 15th century and who were later responsible for the local iron processing. In the lower half of the shield, the cog wheel represents the water power that has been used by the hammer mills since the late Middle Ages, the two wave beams symbolize the Gurk and Görtschitz rivers.

The municipality's coat of arms and flag were awarded on September 2, 1963. The flag is green-white-blue with an incorporated coat of arms.
