The Hartberg is a 918  m above sea level. A. high elevation in the southeastern alternation area on the Lower Austrian - Styrian border.

Location and landscape

The mountain rises slightly southeast of the Wechsel in the main ridge of the Günser Sporn , the southern range of the northeast spur of the central Alps between the Vienna and Styrian basins . The Alps begin to run out into hilly mountainous areas here. It is located 3 kilometers east of Mönichkirchen , between the Wechselstrasse  (B54) in Mönichkirchen, Lower Austria ( Wechselpass  980  m above sea level ), and the Südautobahn  (A2), which leads via Schäffern and Guggendorf . To the north is Luef am Hartberg , directly to the east of the summit is the Styrian village of Hartberg and then Knolln with the pass of the A2 ( 714  m above sea level ).

To the north, below Ausschlag, the Kohlgrabenbach runs over the Pestingbach to the Pitten ( Leitha area ), to the southwest the Spitalbach near diving to the diving stream , and southeast of the Schäffernbach , the latter both to the Pinka ( Raab area ).

The roads from the Pittental to the south (Josephinische Landesaufnahme, around 1780)

The mountain is partly counted directly as part of the Wechsel area , but partly as part of the Hunchback World , the exact delimitations here in the room are very different depending on the author and perspective. It can also be counted as part of the Bernstein Mountains , the southern end of the Bucklige Welt, and is then its highest peak (otherwise the Hutwisch at Hochneukirchen is generally called 896  m above sea level ).

History and Development

The name of the mountain comes from Hard / t 'mountain forest'. The field name stretches on the north ridge up to Aspang-Markt.

The Altstraße , perhaps also the Römerstraße, probably did not run over the actual Wechselpass, but over the Hartberg. The small town of Spital ( hospitium , 'hostel') to the south is a relatively safe reference to an old pass crossing. It is unclear whether the actual Hartberg Pass could be seen in the saddle west of the Hartberg summit (Kote  851  m above sea level ) or east towards Guggendorf. The indication of the Römerstraße on Irrbühel south of the Hallerhaus is probably incorrect .

From 1907 to 1910 the almost 2.5 kilometers long Hartberg tunnel of the Wechselbahn was built. It passes in a straight line between the two portals at Kohlgrabenbach and Spitalbach a little west of the summit.

Individual evidence

  1. a b The Josephinische Landesaufnahme from 1790 shows the Styrian-Lower Austrian border with a path in a straight line; there The Hertl Berg .
  2. In the mountain group breakdown according to Trimmel , the group Wechsel (2852) is separated from Geschrittenstein (2822) unspecifically on Wechselbundesstraße.
  3. The landscape structure of Styria gives the boundary Wechsel (R.8) to Bucklige Welt (R.9) divingbach - Spitalbach, so to Hartberg.
  4. The breakdown of natural spatial units of Lower Austria gives Wechselgebiet (130, 8.2) to Bucklige Welt - Ost (128, 8.3) Kleiner Pestingbach - Pfeffergraben (Bäckergraben) , i.e. above Mönichkrichen.
  5. Adjacent to the diving stream; Entry on Bernstein Mountains in the Austria Forum  (in the AEIOU Austria Lexicon ) - because there is a stream of the same name west of Bernstein, the term " diving stream " is misleading, and some authors see a more limited area of ​​the Bernstein Mountains only up to diving in Burgenland .
  6. a b ( Kleiner ) Hartberg , there you will find the Kleiner Hartberg Viaduct and the Kleiner Hartberg Tunnel of the Wechselbahn; here the name Samberg mixes with it, the summit ( 792  m above sea level ) is given to the south, but the Samberg tunnel of the Wechselbahn to the north. The actual Hartberg summit was probably called Großer Hartberg when the Wechselbahn was built , which is the name of the tunnel.
