The municipality of Liemberg was from 1850 a municipality in the Carinthian district of Sankt Veit an der Glan , which was merged with the municipalities of Hardegg and Pulst into the new municipality of Liebenfels on January 1, 1958 .

geography

location

The community was on the southwestern edge of the St. Veit an der Glan district. Their area was 10.81 km². It comprised that part of the Liembergbach valley at a height of 650 meters, which stretches from Zwattendorf in the west to the ditch that leads down to Glantschach in the east , and the mountain ranges to the north and south of it. Wasai is in the middle of the valley and on its southern slope . The steep northern slopes, which stretched from the western part of the valley to over 1,100 meters above sea level, up to the Gössberg and the Veitsberg , were just as largely forested and only very sparsely populated as the slopes and slopes extending north of these heights to the southern edge of the Dobramoor Hill. On the gentler slopes, which extend from the eastern part of the Liembergbach valley to the north, there were two places: Liemberg , which functions as the community capital, and Eggen .

Cadastral communities

The municipality comprised the cadastral municipality of Liemberg within its limits at that time.

Localities

At the time of the existence of the community, the following localities were listed:

  • Liemberg
  • Harrow
  • Wasai
  • Gßeberg , which was largely attached to the Feldkirchen district a few years after the community was dissolved
  • the eastern part of Zwattendorf , which a few years after the dissolution of the community was largely attached to the Feldkirchen district

Infrastructure

The community was away from rail links and main roads and was only connected to the neighboring communities by very poor local roads. In Liemberg, the capital of the parish, there were no public institutions apart from the parish church; the only businesses in the municipality's capital were a general store and two inns. The community's assets were limited to a dilapidated house. There was no full-time community secretary; the mayor himself took care of the work that had to be done or, on a case-by-case basis, called on local residents for paperwork. There was never a school in the community; The majority of the community belonged to the district of the elementary school in Gradenegg , which meant a walk to school of about 1½ hours each way for the children, Zwattendorf belonged to the school district of St. Urban.

history

In the course of the administrative reforms after the revolution of 1848/49, the municipality of Liemberg was established in 1850 from the tax and cadastral municipality of Liemberg. The first mayor of the community was Johann Ramusch.

From 1850 the community belonged to the political district of Sankt Veit an der Glan and to the judicial district of Sankt Veit an der Glan . From 1854 to 1868 it belonged to the mixed district of Sankt Veit . The reforms in 1868 made it part of the political district of Sankt Veit an der Glan and the judicial district of Sankt Veit an der Glan, where it remained until it was dissolved.

In terms of population, the municipality was one of the smallest in Carinthia, and it was hardly able to fulfill the tasks of a municipality. Therefore, in 1939 it was proposed to merge the community with the then neighboring community of Pulst . The municipal council of Liemberg refused, however, and suggested in vain to enlarge the municipality of Liemberg at the expense of the neighboring municipality of Sörg by connecting the cadastral communities Freundsam and Gradenegg to Liemberg. In the event that a dissolution of the Liemberg municipality was inevitable, the Liemberg municipal council wanted to join Sörg instead of Pulst. An agreement with the neighboring communities was not reached.

The community's financial problems intensified. It was not foreseeable how one of the small, structurally weak places in the municipality could have developed into a functioning municipality capital. In the spring of 1955, the municipal council of Liemberg decided to strive to merge with the neighboring municipality of Sörg. The municipality of Liemberg wanted the cadastral municipality of Glantschach , which was then part of the municipality of Pulst, to belong to the newly united municipality . An application made at the same time to connect the western part of the Liemberg community to the St. Urban community in the neighboring Feldkirchen district was narrowly rejected by the Liemberg community council. Although the municipality of Sörg also spoke out in favor of unification with Liemberg, there was no agreement between the Liemberg and Sörg: Neither could they agree on the name or the size of the new municipality. Sörg refused to join Glantschach in addition to Liemberg, as it was feared in the village of Sörg that Glantschach could have become the center of the new community.

On October 16, 1957, against the will of the Liemberg community, the state of Carinthia passed a state law to merge the communities of Liemberg, Pulst and Hardegg to form Liebenfels, which came into effect on January 1, 1958.

In 1973 the western part of the former municipality of Liemberg was ceded by the municipality of Liebenfels to the municipality of St. Urban, so that the majority of the towns of Zwattendorf and Gößberg belong to the municipality of St. Urban today.
