Fohnsdorf is in murtal district located community of the Austrian federal state of Styria with 7,657 inhabitants (1 January 2020). The community belongs to the judicial district Judenburg and lies on the northern border of the Aichfeld . Fohnsdorf consists of eight cadastral communities and ten counting districts . In 1114 the place was first mentioned as "Fanestorf" and later known for its lignite mining , the Wodzicky Shaft was the deepest lignite mining in the world with a depth of over 1000 meters.

geography

Geographical location

Fohnsdorf is about five kilometers (as the crow flies ) north of the district capital Judenburg on the northern border of the Aichfeld (also called Aichfeld – Murboden , Judenburg – Knittelfelder basin or Fohnsdorfer basin ). The Aichfeld is located in the upper Murtal (entire longitudinal section of the Mur in the Mur-Mürz furrow ). The Obere Murtal is divided into two different parts by the Aichfeld - the western part (sometimes referred to as the Upper Murtal in the narrower sense), to which the Tamsweg district ( Salzburg ) as well as the Murau district and parts of the Murtal district belong, and the eastern part below the valley narrow at Kraubath an der Mur .

mountains

The highest mountains are the Hölzelkogel ( 1451  m above sea level ), the Rattenberger Höhe ( 1430  m ) and the Fohnsdorfer Berg ( 1299  m ). Other elevations are the Furtnerhübel ( 1266  m ), the Rinachkogel ( 1257  m ), the Schlapfkogel ( 1230  m ), the Schlossberg ( 1053  m ), the Sillweger ( 1257  m ), the Vormacherberg ( 1119  m ), the Waldkogel and the Zechnerriedel ( 1295  m ).

Valleys

There are several valleys (from west to east) in the municipality . The Allerheiligengraben forms the border between Fohnsdorf and Pöls-Oberkurzheim , the eastern part of the valley with its side valleys Dirnberggraben , Hüblergraben , Steinmetzgraben and Distlingergraben lies in the Fohnsdorf municipality. The Kumpitzer Graben is north of Kumpitz , the Dietersdorfer Graben north of Dietersdorf . To the west of it lies the Fohnsdorfer Graben , north of the town center , with the Wintergraben in between . The easternmost valleys are the Sillweger Graben and the Rattenberger Graben .

Waters

The Dieter Dorferbach has a catchment area of 6.34 and Fohnsdorferbach a catchment area of 6.25 square kilometers and represent the largest springing in Fohnsdorf waters Both lead -. As the Allerheiligenbach , the rider Bach , the Fohnsdorferbach and Western Dinsendorferbach - in the Pöls river . Other tributaries of the Pöls river are the Steinmetzgrabenbach , which flows into the Allerheiligenbach and the Winterbach , which flows into the Fohnsdorferbach.

The Rattenbergerbach with its tributaries Obermoosbach (tributaries: Blümeltalbach , Wassergraben ) and Rattenbergerbach diversion channel (tributary: Sillwegbach , whose tributary: Rinachbach ) unites in Flatschach ( Spielberg ) with the Flatschacherbach and flows into the Linderbach .

The Kropfgrabenbach and its tributary, the Brunngrabenbach , also arise in Fohnsdorf and flow into the Flatschacherbach.

In Zeltweg , both the Pöls River and the Linderbach flow into the Mur - the largest flowing water in Fohnsdorf.

Extension of the local area

The Allerheiligengraben is the western border of the municipality of Fohnsdorf, to the west of it is Pöls-Oberkurzheim . The Gaaler Höhe mountain range represents the northern limit and separates the community of Fohnsdorf from Gaal . Shortly before the Flatschacher Höhe the border runs south, the Kropfgraben belongs to Fohnsdorf and the Brandkuppe at 1064 meters to Spielberg ( Flatschach district ), the neighboring municipality to the east. Parts of the Hinterstoisser Air Base belong to Fohnsdorf, the buildings are entirely in Zeltweg . On the area of ​​the air base, the border runs to the west, crosses the Fohnsdorf Railway and separates Fohnsdorf and Zeltweg. The border does not run in a straight line to the south and meets the Mur , where Fohnsdorf, Zeltweg and Weißkirchen cross in Styria . As far as the Arena am Waldfeld shopping center (usually called "Arena"), the Mur forms the border with the communities of Weißkirchen in Styria and Judenburg , then the border runs north, the entire shopping center and economic facilities outside the shopping center (e.g. a Eurospar branch ) belong to Fohnsdorf, economic facilities north of the Murtal Schnellstraße (e.g. a Rudolf-Leiner branch and two car dealerships) belong to Judenburg. Further north, the Pölsbach forms the border between Fohnsdorf and Judenburg until Fohnsdorf, Judenburg and Pöls-Oberkurzheim meet in Passhammer.

The municipality has an area of ​​54.7 square kilometers , of which 24.98 square kilometers are permanent settlement and 9.63 square kilometers are residential .

geology

A lignite deposit was mined from 1856 to 1980 - in the deepest lignite mining in Europe (over 1000 meters deep). The “ heap ” - a mixture of coal and clay - stay behind, the heap burned out due to the great pressure it took - deep down it burns at over 1200 degrees Celsius. The heap consists of silicon dioxide , aluminum oxide and iron oxide . In the area of ​​today's southern Styria there was a sea that reached as far as the Koralpe . In Bad Gleichenberg a bay existed with volcanoes - the depositional area extended into the Mur-Mürz-Furche , the coal deposits in Fohnsdorf emerged.

climate

With an average temperature of 14 to 25 degrees Celsius, July is the warmest month, and January is the coldest with an average temperature of -5 to 1 degrees Celsius. From May to July there are an average of 15 rainy days, from January to March nine and from June to August eight hours of sunshine a day and from November to January two.

religion

The parish Fohnsdorf is a Roman Catholic parish that belongs to the diocese of Graz-Seckau and thus to the church province of Salzburg . The pastor is Gottfried Lammer. The first missionaries came from Salzburg to the area around Fohnsdorf in the middle of the 8th century, and churches were built in Fohnsdorf, Kobenz and Pöls (today Pöls-Oberkurzheim ) in the 9th and 10th centuries . The Fohnsdorf parish was founded in the 11th century, making it one of the oldest Styrian parishes founded by Archbishop Gebhard ; the parish received baptismal and burial rights in 1061/62 . The parish was mentioned in a document in 1147. In 2016 the parish received seven new acolytes . A singing group has existed since 1981/82 . The Catholic Youth Austria is also represented in the parish.

Daughter church in Sillweg, the St. George dedicated

In Hetzendorf there is a consecration place (built in 1981) and in Dietersdorf (built in 1999) and Rattenberg there are mess chapels .

In 1938 a piece of land was acquired for the construction of a Protestant church , construction began in 1960 and the church was consecrated in 1964 . On December 13, 2003, a new church in Judenburg was opened . There are around 650 Protestant people in the former Judenburg district , and around 45 attend the service. The Protestant church in Fohnsdorf was sold.

The Jehovah's Witnesses have a " Kingdom Hall " on Grabenstrasse, north of the main square.

history

The Aichfeld was settled towards the end of the Neolithic Age (around 2000 BC ), and there is evidence that Fohnsdorf was settled during the Hallstatt Period (800 to 450 BC). From 15 BC Until the 5th century the area belonged to the Roman Empire . There are finds from the Roman era in the area around Fohnsdorf; No settlement can be found in Fohnsdorf itself. After 476 (the dissolution of the Western Roman Empire ), the majority of the Roman population emigrated, with few locals remaining.

Slavs immigrated from the 6th century , the place names Flatschach, Kumpitz, Sillweg and Strettweg can be traced back to Slavic origin. Kumpitz was mentioned in a document in 1148 as "Chuntuz" and 1285 as "Chuntwiz", Strettweg 1149 as "Strevic" and 1181 as "Strethwich" (probably: "streckovice": a place where there are many brakes ). Flatschach comes from the old Slavic word "blacah" and means "with the people on the moss" or "the settlement on the moss". Göttschach (in Rattenberg) was so named by Slavic farmers (Slavic: "goricah"; means "with the people on the small mountain").

The Avars were defeated by Borouth ( Carantania ) and Duke Odilo of Bavaria and the Karantans came under Bavarian and later Frankish rule, after which Bavarian aristocrats and farmers came to the Fohnsdorf area and founded manors and new villages from the 9th century . The division of land suggests that Fohnsdorf and the parish church could have been founded during the Carolingian era in the 9th century.

Fohnsdorf itself was referred to in 1141 (879 years ago) as "Fanestorf" and later as "Fanstorf". It is unclear whether this place name also comes from Slavic. According to common belief, this name means “village of Ban”, since b became f in the sound shift . A Ban was a leader of the Avars who immigrated with the Slavs and had their headquarters in the Lavant Valley . If this interpretation of the name was correct, Fohnsdorf would have been the residence of such a ban, this cannot be said with certainty. Two Zehenthöfe are known from 1282 .

Modern times before the 19th century

Until the Peace of Pressburg in 1805, Fohnsdorf was owned by the Duchy of Salzburg (now the Archdiocese of Salzburg ) and was divided into seven manors until serfdom was abolished in Austria in 1848 . Most of the buildings belonged to the sovereignty of Fohnsdorf, one or more houses to the manors of Großlobming , Paradeiskloster (Judenburg), Authal , Pfarrval Fohnsdorf, Reifenstein and Liechtenstein .

The beginning of coal production in Fohnsdorf brought with it an economic upturn. In 1670, under Johann Adolf von Schwarzenberg, a mine near Dietersdorf was put into operation. Charcoal dominated Austria until 1760/90 , before Maria Theresa and Joseph II tried to make extensive use of hard coal . Until 1840 the coal was primarily used for the production of alum (brewing hut). Coal was burned and the alum salt leached from the ashes, which was sold worldwide. Only the commissioning of the steel and rolling mills in Judenburg and Zeltweg led to a profitable increase in coal mining.

A hammer or scythe mill has been known in Passhammer since the 15th century, which was later expanded into a steel and rolling mill (1870–1901). There was also the sheet metal and iron works Styria in Wasendorf (1870–1942), the Hetzendorfer sheet metal rolling mill (1872–1918) and the Hetzendorfer brown cardboard factory (1889–1916).

19th century

In 1823/24 the Franziszeische Cadastre for Fohnsdorf was created. The industrialization had little meaning, so 90 percent of the population were in the agriculture business. Hetzendorf was settled on the northern terrace edge of the road from Fohnsdorf to Judenburg - crossing over the Pölsbach; In Aichdorf there were two rows of settlements on terraces and individual farmsteads on the valley floor of the Pölsbach. On the northern edge of the Aichfeld were the hamlets of Dinsendorf, Göttschach and Kumpitz, the Bachuferdörfer Dietersdorf and Rattenberg, the square village Sillweg and the clustered village Fohnsdorf. There were scattered settlements in the Allerheiligengraben, in the west of the Dietersdorfer Graben and north of Rattenberg .

In 1840, mining took over the entire mine ownership of the last alum companies from Anton Maria Wickerhauser . The trades Josef Sonnhaus took advantage of the nearby mining and built in 1847 a puddling in Judenburg. From 1849 the Leoben trade company Karl Mayr owned this plant. Hugo Henckel von Donnersmarck had high freight costs with his works in Lavanttal and around 1850 he was looking for a new location near the mining industry, which made coal the decisive location factor for the iron industry .

In 1840, 18 employees mined 1,500 tons of coal in the Fohnsdorf coal mine; by 1845 the amount extracted rose to 3,260 tons annually with 36 employees. Sales difficulties, difficult technical conditions, mine fires and a shortage of labor caused difficulties in the 1840s. The labor shortage was made up by non-resident workers. The political municipality of Fohnsdorf was established in 1849/50.

With an annual rate of increase of 31 percent, the provisional maximum output of 263,000 tons was reached in 1875.

In 1868 the Rudolfsbahn was opened, in 1870 with the Fohnsdorfer Bahn a branch line to Zeltweg was opened and Fohnsdorf was connected to the rail network. The pits Antoni ( Dietersdorf ), Josefi (in the west of the town center) and Lorenzi (in the east of the town center) were provided with siding until 1900 . By 1880 the population increased by 61.9 percent (in comparison: Graz : 23.3 percent, Judenburg: 28.1 percent, Köflach : 58.8 percent).

According to a 1873 physician Johann Hammerschmied published statistics of the coal mining Fohnsdorf totaled 175.5  illnesses per 100 employees in the leading group in which mortality was Fohnsdorf with 3.06 percent of 100 workers behind the ironstone mining in Reichenau an der Rax (3.63 percent ) on second place.

1880s

On July 19, 1881, the Austrian Alpine Mining Company was founded in order to combine the areas of raw materials , supply , goods production and trade through economic integration and to overcome the economic crisis. The company emerged from the union of the Neuberg-Mariazeller union , the Steirische Eisenindustrie-Gesellschaft , the Vordernberg-Köflacher Montangesellschaft , the St. Egydy-Kindberger Iron and Steel Industry Society and the Hüttenberger Eisenwerk-Gesellschaft . The French banker Eugéne Bontoux was a financier. He was arrested the following year in Paris because of the collapse of his house bank, Societé de l'Union Génerale . With the help of the Länderbank and through rationalization and centralization , the Österreichisch-Alpine Montangesellschaft was able to increase its profit from two million guilders (one guilder was EUR 19.38) to eleven million guilders (EUR 106.59 each) by 1914.

"Since 1881, Alpine has been the undisputed largest coal mining company in the Austrian Alpine countries and Fohnsdorf, ahead of Seegraben and Voitsberg-Köflach, the most important coal mining within the Alpine."

- Helmut Lackner, Karl Stocker : Fohnsdorf - rise and crisis of an Austrian coal mining community in the Aichfeld-Murboden region; Interdisciplinary studies by the Fohnsdorf Aichfeld-Murboden project group

A double shaft system was planned as early as 1881 . The Wodzicki-Schacht was named after the first President Ludwig Graf Wodzicki (1881-1892) and the Karl August-Schacht after the first General Director Karl August von Frey (1881-1893). The planning and execution, to eight years and one million guilders (one guilder corresponded to 9.69 euro) estimated , the new director was Ludwig Hess of Hessenthal transmitted. Financing was made possible through the sale of 126,000 hectares of forest - made superfluous by the closure of most of the charcoal blast furnaces . Work began on the Karl August shaft in Wasendorf in 1882 and on the Wodzicki shaft in 1884. The two shafts - about two kilometers apart - were connected to each other during the daytime and to the existing Antoni shaft and Lorenzi shaft. Antoni and Lorenzi shafts were initially used as weather shafts . Both shafts were 450  PS strong twin steam carriers of Andritzer Maschinenfabrik equipped. Two one-meter-wide cable drums were driven via crankshafts , on which the hoisting rope wound up and unwound side by side and moved the four-tier hoist cage over the sheaves on the headframe . One main and one reserve winder with 350 HP each with bobbin conveyance enabled the use of four conveyor baskets. In the case of conveyor technology , the traction sheave conveyor , which has been patented since 1877 , was dispensed with, but the latest technical development was taken into account in the conveyor frames. The model was the Hugo colliery , designed by Johann Carl Otto Hugo Baron von Promnitz and Promnitzau - at the Fohnsdorf mine it was probably the first use of a double strut frame (in the Ruhr area it was first used in 1895 at the Zollverein VI colliery ).

1890s

The processing plant was designed and largely automated by Fohnsdorf engineer Anton Oberegger . As a result, the proportion of female workers fell to eight percent in 1890 (2036 men, 176 women). According to Oberegger's patent, the Škoda company from Pilsen ( Kingdom of Bohemia ) delivered 33 sorting systems within Europe by 1899. At the Wodzicki shaft there was a dewatering machine with 650 hp, which could lift 4.3  cubic meters of water per minute, and a boiler house that supplied the steam energy for the entire shaft operation.

The only notable weak point in the new concept was the weather management . Fans had been installed at the Antoni, Josefi and Lorenzi shafts , and as the depth increased, it was inevitable to sink separate weather shafts due to the high methane content and the increasing heat . Karl Wittgenstein , central director and main shareholder of the Prager Eisenindustrie-Gesellschaft , obtained the majority ownership of the Austrian-Alpine Montangesellschaft in 1897 with the help of Creditanstalt and eleven straw men known by name with 80,000 shares. Anton von Kerpely (1897–1903) became general director .

In 1890 the number of 2,500 workers was reached, in the same year the Austrian Alpine Mining Company employed 10,650 a quarter of all Styrian industrial workers, in the Judenburg district this proportion was 60 percent (mainly because of the Fohnsdorf and Zeltweg locations).

20th century

Before the First World War

With an average workforce of 2,000 to 2,500 employees, the production volume rose from 265,700 tons in 1881 to 606,000 in 1906. In 1908, two steam turbines with 1,000 and 2,000 hp were installed on the Wodzicki shaft , which enabled the electrical lighting of both shafts from 1910 onwards . After central ventilation, the Antoni, Josefi and Lorenzi shafts were shut down, and from 1910 to 1912 a new, smaller shaft with an electric conveyor reel was sunk in the Antoni mining area . In 1910 a depth of 583 meters was reached.

Interwar period

After 1926, curbing the risk of flooding began by defusing the steep ditches of the Flatschach ridge by means of torrent barriers and channeling the Fohnsdorfer Bach , thus enabling and facilitating the construction of paved roads . In 1922 new company apartments were built at the eastern end of the village ( log houses on Landstrasse). A year earlier, civil servants' houses were built on Grazer Strasse and a settlement on Kohlenstrasse (Sillweg). In the interwar period, the first larger single-family housing estates arose : on Schlossgasse between Schloss Gabelhofen and Hetzendorf, the “Lower Colony” in Fohnsdorf (houses with two apartments for employees were built here).

Tertiary “ shiny coal ” was mined because after the fall of the Danube Monarchy, the coal fields in Northern Bohemia (then Kingdom of Bohemia ), Austrian Silesia and the Margraviate of Moravia were lost, which meant that domestic supplies gained in importance. From 1923 to 1929 rationalizations were carried out, the improvements only had a limited effect due to the global economic crisis and the associated reduction in coal demand .

Between 1921 and 1925 and 1929/30 the machine equipment was completely renewed and a central machine house was built. Between 1924 and 1926 the three power plants of the Austrian Alpine Mining Company in Donawitz, Eisenerz and Fohnsdorf were connected with a long-distance line, Fohnsdorf was the largest electrical center within the company and the third largest steam power plant in Austria. In 1925, a new twin tandem hoisting machine with 3600 hp and a piston composite compressor with 1410 hp and 12,000 cubic meters of air per minute were installed.

With 506,300 tons of coal, Fohnsdorf supplied around a quarter of the Styrian production and almost half of the Austrian-Alpine mining company in 1929.

Due to the global economic crisis , production fell by 15 percent by 1931 (from 506,000 to 335,500 tons). In the second half of 1931 the Karl-August-Schacht had to be shut down for a few months , from 1935 the economic situation improved again and the production rates of the time before the First World War were reached.

In the federal state of Austria , the Österreichisch-Alpine Montangesellschaft was subordinated to Government Commissioner Josef Oberegger (Federal Organizational Leader of the Austrian Home Guard) in August 1934 , and he was appointed General Director in March 1935. The independent trade union - a cooperation with the Styrian Homeland Security - was founded to propagate the ideology of DINTA . Fohnsdorf received a top position among the Austrian coal mines due to estimated coal reserves of 25 to 30 million tons.

By 1937, steam operation was gradually discontinued and electric conveyor reels were installed. The Strebbruchbau with up to 200 meters long pursuit was introduced.

Second World War

Due to a lack of investment and overexploitation , profitability sank during the Second World War . 103 people died in a firedamp explosion in August 1943.

The most defining structural expansion took place during the Second World War : Auerlingstrasse (then Hermann-Göring-Siedlung ), with 121 residential units the first large residential complex in Fohnsdorf. On February 12, 1942, the rest of the Kumpitz community was attached to Fohnsdorf. The “Styria” iron works were relocated from Wasendorf to Liezen and Krems on the Danube between 1939 and 1942 .

After 1945

Immediately after the end of the war, production was halved to 286,000 tonnes of coal and, as an emergency solution, the blind shaft from 1916 was sunk to 985 meters. 92 percent of the coal mining industry had been nationalized since 1946, and since 1949 it was consolidated into the Kohlenholding GmbH .

Towards the end of the 1950s, global economic difficulties led to a decline in production: coal was replaced by cheaper crude oil . At the beginning of the 1960s, a closure was discussed, but was delayed until 1977/78.

In the 1950s, was in Dietersdorf a pool built, redesigned the main square and a new administration building erected. The first houses in the Gabelhofensiedlung on the Fohnsdorf – Judenburg connection on the main road to Italy were built around 1960, and trade and industry also settled there. Hetzendorf was expanded with single family houses and a regular street network ( checkerboard pattern ) as well as houses in the old town center and buildings north of the Pölsbach and the Gartengasse. Aichdorf grew on the northern bank of the Pöls towards the west and in the northeast on the connection to Rattenberg. Single-family houses were built on the so-called Hochwiesen in Dietersdorf and Fohnsdorf, while Fohnsdorf and Dinsendorf grew together. In the 1970s, the Fohnsdorf training center and the Siemens AG and Eumig company locations were built in the south of Dietersdorf and Fohnsdorf .

The labor market tightened after 1960 due to a ban on mining. Fohnsdorf developed into a commuter community (called "residential community"). More than half of the commuters worked in Judenburg, a quarter in Zeltweg and others in Knittelfeld and Pöls (today Pöls-Oberkurzheim).

As a result of the ban on admission to the Fohnsdorf mine, young residents emigrated and the population began to age. The retirement age - mostly for health reasons - in industry and especially in mining was under 60 years. Because of fewer women's jobs, it was mainly women between the ages of 20 and 30 who migrated. Fohnsdorf developed into a "retirement home". The south-facing slope offered good conditions for a place to live, but the building fabric was outdated, and the residential buildings barely met the modern living needs of the time.

By 1970 the output sank to 500,000 tons and by 1975 to 400,000 tons. The number of workers fell from 2000 (1957) to 1100 (1975). After the mining industry was closed in 1977/78, a quarter of the jobs were lost and 47 percent of the working population was able to be employed, and the number of commuters skyrocketed.

21st century

After a financial scandal uncovered by the audit office , the then mayor Johann Straner ( SPÖ ) was replaced by a government commissioner on January 13, 2011 , and the municipal council was dissolved in December 2010. The scandal was caused by several failed large projects, especially the thermal baths.

Culture

Legends from Fohnsdorf

The legend of the Gabelhofer Kreuz:

In Schloss Gabelhofen lived an honorable knight , the inhabitants of ruins Fohnsdorf , Rattenberg and Reifenstein were robber barons and highwaymen . After admonishing her several times, he resorted to a ruse. He started the rumor that merchants would return from Vienna, whereupon the robber barons hid in the Murwald . Towards evening five heavily loaded wagons came and were attacked by the robbers. The armed servants of the knight von Gabelhofen jumped out of the wagons, he wanted to bring the highwaymen to Judenburg to the court, but noticed that his castle was burning and tried to put out the fire. He did not succeed because the Pölsbach had little water and he asked God for help, whereupon a heavy downpour fell . Out of gratitude he erected the Gabelhof Cross. The robber barons improved and no longer undertook raids.

The robber barons of Fohnsdorf:

The residents of the ruins of Fohnsdorf were robber barons. When this became known to the people, all traders and merchants moved over the Pölshals and thus avoided the Fohnsdorf, whereupon the Fohnsdorf knights signed a contract with those from Sauerbrunn Castle , from then on there was no traffic through the Pölshals for a long time.

The treasure chest in Fohnsdorf Castle:

Boys from Fohnsdorf played hide and seek in the ruins of the castle and came to a hole in which they could not easily be caught. In the hole was a large and heavy chest with a large lock . When they got a cart they couldn't find the hole.

The Fohnsdorf Pestweg:

The “Pestweg” leads across fields from Kumpitz, Aichdorf, Wasendorf and Hetzendorf to Zeltweg. During a plague , Waltersdorf still belonged to Fohnsdorf, the clergy in Fohnsdorf refused to provide sick people in Waltersdorf. The residents of Waltersdorf turned to Lind bei Zeltweg and received the requested services. The plague sufferers from Waltersdorf were buried in Lind, so as not to contaminate the villages, the porters walked this path, which was then named "Pestweg".

The devil and the Fohnsdorf miners:

The devil didn't like it that the Fohnsdorf mining industry was getting deeper and deeper and threatening him. Large stones (“ Mugl ”) fell on his head more and more often . Thereupon he cried horribly and ran like an irritated wasp through his realm. He wanted to get on the miners' bodies, but did not dare, since only those miners who are not afraid of death and the devil are made. Through his cursing, raging and raging, the miners noticed him and came up with all kinds of pranks . The " shock drinkers " bored holes and poured disgusting water into the devil's mouth. The tusks fired the shots, so that they hit hell and the devil's ears fell from the bang and the supply made his eyes dusty. The " gas extractors " sucked the gas he needed to breathe, after which he suffered from attacks of suffocation . He had to go deeper and deeper and could no longer take care of the squires and the local residents, this made him desperate. With a terrible stench, it drove “through below”, so the Fohnsdorf residents are spared its influence.
