history
Zerlach is an agricultural community with an area of 2,377 ha. In the 1981 census, 1,584 inhabitants were counted, which in turn belong to 370 households.
The name Zerlach, formerly "Zedlach", was first mentioned in 1220 in the Babenberg Urbar. Zerlach could mean: "To or near the alders". It is more likely that it is named after the locative of old Slavic * sedlo (seat, settlement), because the first mention contains ad, which cannot be explained with alder . Prepositions in place names are also extremely rare. The community once owned a few castles and manors as well as a fortification.
The villages of Breitenbuch formerly "Praytenbach", Kittenbach formerly "Cüttenbach", Hochjahring, formerly "Ohenjahring", Maxendorf formerly "Markirschendorf" were also mentioned in documents in the second half of the 12th century.
Dörfla called "the little village in the parish of Kirchbach" was only mentioned later in 1370 in the Seckauer Zehentbuch.
At that time mainly March fodder, poppy seeds, peas and flax were grown. There was also a lot of wine. Every hill was planted with vines. This was already delivered as a grape juice, earlier called must, as a tithe to various people.
In 1848 Hans Kudlich applied for peasant liberation. As early as 1849 the peasants became free citizens and no longer had to pay a tenth to the landlords. In order for the farmers to acquire the land, they had to raise 1/3 of the estimated value themselves.
Thus, the cadastral community = administrative community existed since 1849. From 1848 to 1900 it is not known who administered the parish. In 1900 Georg Maier (from Kölli) was elected mayor. His successors were Josef Nöst (vlg. Krisper), Josef Kaufmann (vlg. Thori), Richard Suppan (vl. Schumandl), Josef Paier (vl. Tonihansl), Franz Maier (vl. Wagner) and Josef Graßmugg. By 1981 the parish chancellery had to change its seat seven times. The municipal office was set up under Mayor Josef Graßmugg.
On June 3, 1984, this house was solemnly blessed by Pastor Tödtling in the presence of Pastor Wolfgang Pucher, Alois Steinkleibl and Johann Köberl. On the same day, Governor Josef Krainer became an honorary citizen of the municipality, and Josef Krainer also presented the Zerlach municipality with the coat of arms. On March 22, 1985, Josef Graßmugg resigned from his 15-year role as mayor. In April Josef Suppan (vlg. TischlerI) was elected mayor of the community.
The residents of Zerlach cultivate every bit of agriculture. Through their active commitment and great diligence, which they use all year round, you can say that everyone is well off. For the most part, the work has to be carried out manually due to the hilly landscape. Today mainly cattle and pig breeding is practiced.
- Breitenbuch
The name Praytenpuch was first mentioned in 1265. Praytenpuch was then under the rule of Ottokar von Böhmen and belonged to the parish of St. Georgen. In 1414 this place Breitenbuch was already under the rule of the lord of Freiburg.
