Eichberg-Trautenburg is a village in the municipality of Leutschach an der Weinstrasse in the Leibnitz district in Styria.

Until the end of 2014, Eichberg-Trautenburg was also a separate municipality with 773 inhabitants (as of January 1, 2014) in the judicial district or district of Leibnitz in the Austrian state of Styria . Since January 1, 2015, it has been merged with the municipalities of Leutschach , Glanz an der Weinstrasse and Schloßberg as part of the municipal structural reform in Styria . The new community bears the name " Leutschach an der Weinstrasse ".

geography

Eichberg-Trautenburg is located in Styria in the southern Styrian wine country.

structure

The community consisted of two cadastral communities or towns of the same name (number of inhabitants in brackets as of January 1, 2020):

  • Eichberg-Trautenburg (556)
  • Kranach (182)

history

A barrow field from the Roman Empire in the “Fakitsch” forest, which consisted of eight burial mounds and seven tumuli, suggests that parts of Eichberg were already settled at that time.

The name Eichberg was first mentioned in the land register of Duke Albrechts I in 1295 as Aichperg . Slavic names appear again and again in old deeds and documents (there were also fiefs of the Counts of Cilli and the St. Paul Abbey in Lavanttal in the area ). So in 1521 a Suppan (Slavic name for a village elder) was called. Names like Jauschnegg (Slav. For 'southern wind') or Hrast (Slav. For 'oak') are evidence of a Slavic settlement.

Since there was no manorial domain in the municipality and Eichberg was incorporated into the Leutschach parish , there are no historical buildings and monuments in Eichberg. The surrounding gentlemen Schmirnberg, Trautenburg, Amthof, Arnfels and Ehrenhausen shared the hubs and vineyards of the area.

The local community as an autonomous corporation did not emerge until 1850. The current place name is not a double name from two places, but an addition of the former rule to which Eichberg belonged (as in St. Peter-Freienstein ).

After the annexation of Austria in 1938, the community became part of the Reichsgau Steiermark, from 1945 to 1955 it was part of the British zone of occupation in Austria.

politics

The last mayor was LAbg. Peter Tschernko (ÖVP). After the 2010 elections, the municipal council was composed as follows:

Culture and sights

Wine trail

In 1990, an educational wine trail was set up that documents the history of viticulture around the world using display boards. Along a one-kilometer-long hiking route, you can see and taste all the types of wine that are cultivated in Styria.

Kreuzbergwarte

The 30-meter-high Kreuzbergwarte , built in 1994, stands approx. 4.7 km north-northeast of the village on the 633-  meter- high Kreuzberg . From the viewing platform at a height of 25 meters, the view extends over the whole of southern Styria. A lookout tower was built in the same place as early as 1930, but it fell into disrepair in the course of the 1950s and had to be removed.
