history

It is not yet known when people first entered the area of ​​the Edelstauden community. The earliest reliable evidence can only be found in the Middle Ages. Precious bushes and the surrounding places belonged to the rich estates of the diocese of Seckau in Eastern Styria. Thus, the first written references of Edelstauden and jammering in a Seckauer let Urbar of the year 1295 demonstrate. "Hesleinstauden" (Edelstauden) - also in the fief books of the monastery - was also in 1318, 1382 ("Heselstauden"), 1406 ("Nider, Ober Hesleinstauden") and around 1500 as "Ober, Nider Heslenstauden in the pharr zum Heylling Chrewcz" mentioned in writing.

The Seckauer Urbar from 1406 names Jammering again as "am Jaeming". The name of the village Edelstauden refers to the vegetation that was predominant at the time - hazel bushes. The places of the community Edelstauden originally belonged to the parish of St. Georgen . When the population increased more and more due to the Bavarian settlement policy, the mother parish had to be divided into different districts. According to documentary records, Kirchbach , St. Stefan and Wolfsberg and Jagerberg were made independent parishes in 1269.

The parish of Heiligenkreuz am Waasen was first recorded in writing in 1271, but it was probably also three years earlier.

The parish area included the following parishes: Edelsgrub, Empersdorf, Rettenbach, Pirching am Traubenberg, Heiligenkreuz am Waasen, Wutschdorf, St. Ulrich am Waasen, Felgitsch and Edelstauden. There were hardly any large settlements in this extensive, hilly area; it was made accessible through small villages and numerous individual farms.

It is not known to what extent the area around Edelstauden was affected by the Walseer feud from 1411 to 1413 or by the Hungarian invasion of 1418, which left many villages in the area in ruins. The Baumkircher feud from 1469 to 1471, a private war between Emperor Friedrich III. and his military leader Andreas Baumkircher , which developed into a real civil war, affected large parts of Eastern Styria. The peasants innocently involved in this guerrilla war had to deal with great losses, their farms were plundered and burned down; the war against the Hungarians made the situation even worse. At that time, many villages and farms, also in the areas around precious perennials, were desolate and deserted, the fields were fallow. The population was only able to recover slowly, repeatedly threatened by attacks by the Hungarians and Turks, by famine, the plague, plagues of locusts and other natural disasters. In addition to these burdens, there was the robot service and the taxes that the farmers had to pay their landlords.

In the Middle Ages there were numerous aristocratic residences in the Stiefingtal and northeastern Leibnitzer Feld: Waasen, Kulm, Herbersdorf, Schwasdorf, Wurzing, Afram, Neudorf, Gerbersdorf, Kurzragnitz, Stiefing, St. Georgen, Lappach, Paldau, Rohr, Wolfsau, Frauheim and Laubegg. The lower Stiefingtal in particular had an important protective function against attacks from the south and east, which is why most of the castles were located here. Over time, some of these aristocratic residences developed into the dominant manors in the Stiefingtal: Waasen, Herbersdorf, St. Georgen an der Stiefing and Rohr. The strong fragmentation of the property in the area is also reflected in the rulership of the place Edelstauden: At the beginning of the 19th century the village belonged to the lords of Birkwiesen, Frauheim, Plankenwart, Münzgraben in Graz, Schwarzeneck, Lannach, Liebenau, Waldegg, Freiberg, Platzerhof, Stainz, Messendorf and Stadl as well as the parishes of Heiligenkreuz am Waasen and Kirchbach are available. Edelstauden with 1/3 grain and wine toe and the Herbersdorf rule with millet and sack toe were taxable for the diocese of Seckau. At that time the village consisted of 65 houses with 323 people, 175 of them women; The farmers had 20 horses, 40 oxen and 100 cows in terms of cattle. There was also a community school with 76 children. Janisch, on the other hand, had the following to report about the place in his “Lexicon of Styria”: “Edelstauden, belonging to the parish and school Heiligenkreuz am Waasen, on the Sängerbach with 1184 yoke (680,000 Hkt.), 65 houses with 474 souls (230 male, 244 female). “ Population development


education

The school was founded in 1813 by Vinzenz Fischer. Initially, teaching was held in Weißenbach, later in various houses in precious bushes. 70–80 children from the communities Edelstauden, Rettenbach, Empersdorf, Zerlach and Petersdorf attended school. Religion, reading, writing and arithmetic were taught. Lessons were mostly canceled in the summer. In 1816 Vinzenz Fischer handed the school over to the teacher Akorn. M.Steyrer vlg. Sattler gave him a chaste room in 1818, which from then on taught. This building was later expanded into today's floor-to-ceiling school building. In 1841 the school was recognized as a community school, and in 1842 the parish office orders that two hours of religion must be held every week.

In 1843, the mountain son Anton Baumhackl from Edelstauden took over the school with 140 students. In 1867/68 the school house was converted into a one-class school with one room and a chamber as a teacher's apartment. With a smile you can read the damning verdict that a member of the "school council" gave about the learning success of the children: "The old school cost us little and we did little for it, but we got even less from it Ten older owners can hardly write their names for two. "

The new RVG of 1869 put an end to this problem. In 1881 the catechist was granted an annual remuneration of 25 guilders instead of the transport to be provided by the school community. In 1892, the parish administration was asked to come to an agreement with Nestelbach about giving religious instruction at the Vasoldsberg school, as they went there from the local parish. In 1888 a second class was established and in 1911/12 the school had to be expanded to include a third class due to overcrowding in the second class.

The chronicler wrote about school attendance in 1902: "Even in winter, a real farmer is not embarrassed when it comes to keeping the schoolchildren at home, sometimes there is too much snow, sometimes too little, that has to be quickly used for spreading Then there is the parting, a big party for the farmhouse where the children cannot be absent. "

During the First World War the school was held in two classes. In 1919/1920 the number of pupils was 159. Today's schoolhouse was built in 1960 and renovated in 1989/90. In 1994, construction began on a multi-purpose or gymnasium.
