history

In the course of the administrative reforms after the revolution of 1848/49, the municipality of Grades was established in 1851 from the tax and cadastral municipalities of Grades and Feistritz .

From 1850 the municipality of Grades belonged to the political district of Sankt Veit an der Glan and to the judicial district of Friesach . From 1854 to 1868 it belonged to the mixed district of Friesach . In 1868 she came to the political district of Sankt Veit an der Glan, where she remained until it was dissolved. As for the jurisdiction, it came to the judicial district of Friesach in 1868, which existed until 1978 - i.e. longer than the municipality.

In terms of area, the municipality was one of the largest in Austria, it had an east-west extension of about 25 kilometers by road, and the residents of the western towns had to travel through the main town of the neighboring town of Metnitz to get to their own town, Grades. Therefore, at the beginning of the 20th century, there were considerations to cede parts in the far east (Zienitzen) and in the west of the community to neighboring communities. In 1911, a commission was set up to examine the proposal to connect a small part of the municipality of Metnitz (part of the village of Klachl ) to the municipality of Grades and at the same time the western part of the municipality of Grades (almost half of the area of ​​the municipality at that time, with the localities Oberhof Schattseite , Mödring , Vellach ) to the municipality of Metnitz, but the proposal was not implemented. In 1915, the eastern part of the municipality with the town of Zienitzen was ceded to the neighboring municipality of St. Salvator to the east (today part of the municipality of Friesach ); The municipality of Grades lost 16% (1,300 ha) of its area and 16% (261 people according to the 1910 census) of its population.

In 1966 there was a small exchange of territory between the municipalities of Grades and Metnitz: the municipality of Metnitz received around 1 hectare of space (near the recreational pool) and ceded around 9 hectares (in the northeast of Marienheim area) to the municipality of Grades.

The municipality of Grades existed until the structural reform of the Carinthian municipality, when the municipalities of Metnitz and Grades were merged into today's municipality of Metnitz with effect from January 1, 1973. Efforts to restore the community of Grades in the early 1990s were unsuccessful.
