history

Arcade courtyard of Eberndorf Abbey

The Eberndorf monastery was of historical importance for today's community and the region. It was based on a foundation by the Friulian Count Chazelin († before 1106) and founded by the Patriarch of Aquileia Peregrin / Pilgrim (r. 1132–1161) as an Augustinian choir monastery has been. The monastery, which is important for large parts of the Jauntal, was dissolved in the course of the Counter Reformation in 1604 and replaced by a Jesuit residence , which existed until the Jesuit order was abolished in 1773. In 1809 the monastery and the property belonging to it was handed over to the Benedictine monastery of St. Paul in Lavanttal , which is still the owner today. The late Gothic collegiate church and the baroque abbey complex still shape the townscape today.

The local community Eberndorf was formed in 1850 and grew to become the largest in Carinthia in terms of area by 1866 through incorporation. In 1876 Globasnitz , Rückersdorf and Sittersdorf were separated and established as separate local parishes and Grabelsdorf was united with St. Kanzian . In addition to the incorporation of the Mökriach cadastral community in 1944, there have only been minor area corrections since then. Eberndorf was granted the right to use the designation " Marktgemeinde " in 1952.

From 1902 to 1971 the place could also be reached with the Vellachtalbahn (narrow-gauge line Kühnsdorf - Eberndorf - Eisenkappel). The railway line was shut down in 1971 and then dismantled. A few traces have been preserved, e.g. B. the boiler house of the former Kühnsdorf train station.

Slovenian club and cultural life

Filial church hl. Spirit on the Holmberg

Towards the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century, Eberndorf and the surrounding area were still largely Slovenian-speaking . The organized club life of the Slovenes flourished in the area at that time, so that the Slovene Kyrill and Method school association Družba sv. Cirila in Metoda (CMD) founded branch associations around 1888 in Abtei, in 1890 for Pribelsdorf and the surrounding area and in 1908 in Sankt Margareten im Rosental .

In 1907 the educational association Trta was founded in Sittersdorf / Žitara vas. In 1904 the association Društvo "Gorotan" and in 1910 a branch association of the parish Podružnica župnija Dobrla ves "Slovenske Straže" (Slovenian Watch) was founded. At the same time, the Slovene choir received a significant boom, and church choirs in particular became important carriers of the Slovene language culture. Those who sang in the choir knew good written Slovene.

Hranilnica in posojilnica (savings and loan fund), which was founded in Kühnsdorf in 1890 and promoted cultural work in particular, is of particular importance for the economic and cultural development of the region, the people and the language .

Slovenian cultural association "Srce"

On March 25, 1906, the Slovene educational association Katoliško izobraževalno društvo Dobrla ves was founded at the instigation of the founder of Posojilnica (Loan Fund) and Mayor Janez Šumah and the chaplain Ivan Kogelnik, as the predecessor organization of the Slovensko prosvetno društvo "Srce" (Slovenian Culture Association) . Important areas of activity were amateur theater, educational work, the promotion of reading culture through the club's own library and playing tamburizzas in the choir. In 1909 a gymnastics section Orel (Adler) was founded. In 1913 the Paternuž farm was acquired in order to build the Kulturhaus Kulturni dom . However, because of the First World War, it was only completed after the end of the war. The interwar period, from the 1920s, was marked by numerous forms of discrimination and harassment, and the club house moved in. Finally, all Slovenian associations were banned, property expropriated and cultural values destroyed. After the Second World War, the association was re-established in 1946 under the name Slovensko prosvetno društvo "Srce" [Slovenian cultural association "Srce"], which is still widely known today . Since then, the association has been one of the main pillars of cultural life in the community.

coat of arms

The coat of arms of Eberndorf shows "In a blue semicircular shield on a round golden mountain, rising white unicorn, pointing to the right" . Even before the coat of arms was awarded (1960), the community used a rising unicorn in the seal . It was introduced by the Jesuits for Eberndorf Abbey and is based on the medieval “hortus conclusus” (the unicorn flees into the lap of the Virgin Mary). The golden segment of a circle in the base of the shield can be interpreted as a mountain or as part of the globe.

The municipality's coat of arms and flag were awarded on September 6, 1960. The flag is white and blue with an incorporated coat of arms.

economy

The RUTAR Group's furniture stores are based in Eberndorf.
