history
In 860, King Ludwig the German gave the Archbishop of Salzburg Adalwin extensive possessions, including a farm in Carinthia on Gurnitz . In 984, the then place name Schrelz was first mentioned in a document. On the steep northern slope of the Sattnitz , the Salzburg archbishopric had Greifenfels Castle built in the 12th century to secure its possessions . This castle came to the Neuhaus knight family as a fief in 1404 . At the foot of the castle, Christoph von Neuhaus built a noble man's seat in 1566, which was mentioned in a document on September 14, 1567 under the name Ebenthal. In 1704 the Counts of Goëss bought the possessions; Ebenthal Castle is still owned by the Goëss family today.
In 1792 Ebenthal was raised to an independent branch and in 1906 to an independent parish . Thirty years later, Ebenthal had around 250 residents and 40 houses.
Ebenthal was traditionally home to many Carinthian Slovenes who made up the majority of the community's population until the end of the 19th century. The coexistence with the members of the German ethnic group was mostly harmonious and fruitful, but at times also shaped by conflicts.
An important event was the Carinthian defensive battle between Carinthia and the SHS state in the years 1918 to 1920. The Klagenfurt-Land district was then divided by the demarcation line. After a referendum it was decided that the southern part of Carinthia will remain with Austria.
On April 14, 1942, the Nazi regime set up a temporary storage facility in Ebenthal for 1075 Slovenes who had been expropriated, declared enemies of the state and forcibly deported . Half of them were children and adolescents. The youngest inmate was 17 days old, the oldest 88 years old. A memorial stone in the community today commemorates this episode.
Ebenthal was constituted as a political municipality in 1850 and was subsequently spared from incorporation as the only peripheral municipality in Klagenfurt. In the course of the amalgamation of the parishes, the Radsberg parish, a large part of the Mieger parish, as well as smaller parts of the Klagenfurt and Maria Rain and Grafenstein parishes became part of Ebenthal on January 1, 1973, which meant a considerable expansion of the community area.
From 1973 to 1997 the spelling of the community name was "Ebental". This changed on January 1st, 1998, when it was decided to rename it “Ebenthal in Kärnten” at the same time as the market survey.
population
Ebenthal had 7,427 inhabitants at the time of the census in 2001, 96.7% of whom were Austrian citizens. 4.2% belonged to the Slovene-speaking ethnic group. 81% committed themselves to the Roman Catholic Church , 5% to the Protestant Church . About 10% of the community population were without religious beliefs.
The Slovenian dialect
Historically, the municipality of Ebenthal belongs to the Slovene dialect area (dialect) of the Klagenfurt field , which is a transition dialect between the Slovene dialects of the Jaun Valley ( podjunščina ) and the Rosental ( rožanščina ). Johann Scheinigg identified it as a special variant of the Slovenian Rosental dialect in 1882, which was confirmed in the dialectological study by Katja Sturm-Schnabl based on field research. In his work "Die Assimilation ...", Scheinigg divides the Slovene Rosental dialect into three geographical areas: the Lower Rosental, the Upper Rosental and the Klagenfurt Plain. Regarding the latter area, he says: “... The third sub-dialect prevails in the plain around Klagenfurt (kl.), It has the pronunciation of the e and o in common with the first, but differs from the two previous ones in that it is frequently withdrawn of the accent, where those have it on the final syllables; this is especially true of the neuter of nouns and adjectives, e.g. B. [...] " .
The Slovenian cultural association Radiše is based in Radsberg.

- Memorial on Radsberg: To commemorate the persecution of the Carinthian Slovenes from 1942 to 1945, the Association of Resettled Slovenes erected a marble memorial west of the cultural center in the village of Radsberg in the 50th year of existence in 1996. It serves as a “reminder of the past” and as a “reminder for the future”. The ordeal began near this memorial, namely in the camp on the road from Klagenfurt to Ebenthal: the National Socialists expelled around 300 Slovenian families from the communities of Southern Carinthia and interned them in camps.
The municipality is characterized by very different parts of the landscape . The Sattnitz ridge as a middle mountain range characterizes the topographical appearance as does the fertile plain between Klagenfurt and Grafenstein , which is crossed by the flowing waters of the Drau , Glan , Glanfurt , Gurk and Raba . Fly fishing and angling are very popular. On the south side of the Sattnitz there is the possibility of hang gliding from Oberkreuth to Rottenstein im Rosental .
Economy and Infrastructure
From 1990 the market town was able to establish itself as a commercial location. Immediately on the railway line south of Niederdorf, the market community implemented a company settlement model. In the meantime, around 30 commercial companies have settled on around 16,000 m². The Niederdorf bypass, which was completed by the end of 2004, gave this company area a quick connection to the local motorway network. The Klagenfurt Ebenthal station outside the municipality is located on the Drautalbahn , and since January 2016, Stadtwerke Klagenfurt AG's bus lines have served the densely populated valley area and micro-public transport services the mountain area. An optimal traffic-technical development of the entire municipality area and an adequate connection to the state capital Klagenfurt am Wörthersee is guaranteed.

Municipal council
The Ebenthal municipal council has 27 members and has been composed as follows since the 2015 municipal council election :
The directly elected mayor is Franz Felsberger (SPÖ).
coat of arms
The community had a raven in its seal as early as 1945 and later decided to take over the coat of arms of the Lords of Neuhaus zu Greifenfels, the builders of Ebenthal Castle, who, after having been in the service of the Counts of Heunburg and Cilli and the Bishop of Gurk , in Carinthia became landed and in 1636 rose to the imperial freedom. The line finally died out in Bavaria in the 18th century.
The Neuhaus family coat of arms has been documented since 1456 and was expanded to include the fields with the crowned raven in the 16th century; in this respect a connection with the attribute of St. Oswald of Northumbria is possible. The municipality's coat of arms and flag were awarded on June 7, 1960. The blazon of the coat of arms reads:
- “In the first and fourth fields of the quartered shield on a silver background a black raven turned to the right, standing on the lower edge of the field, wings raised, head adorned with a golden, three-pointed crown and a golden ring in its beak; the second and third fields are divided into red and black by a silver right side tip, with the lower edge of the side tip running horizontally. "
The flag is red-white-black with an incorporated coat of arms.
