Surname

The place name Glantschach has nothing to do with the river Glan , which flows about 2 km south of the village. Rather, the name of the place Glantschach, mentioned in 958 as Globzach , is derived from the Slovenian Globozah , which means "in the Niederdorfern" and thus formed a counterpart to the former hamlet of Grientschach .

location

The clustered village is located on the valley step north above the Glan Valley between Sankt Veit an der Glan and Feldkirchen . The center is located in the area of ​​the cadastral community Glantschach , north of the confluence of Liembergbach and Harter Bach . Individual houses in the south are in the cadastral community of Rottschaft Feistritz , and the Ottilienkogel settlement, which has only emerged in the last few decades and through which the village has grown considerably to the east, is in the cadastral community of Rosenbichl .
