history
In today's municipality of Himmelberg, clearing in the 9th and 10th centuries opened up some sunny slopes of the upper Gurktal, which was heavily swampy at the time, for settlement and cultivation. The place or the parish church of St. Martin was first mentioned in a document as "Sulca", the area of a Slovenian Zolko, in 1065 as the Eppensteiners' own church . The "Alt-Himmelberg" castle was built in the 11th or 12th century. The von Himmelberg family, namely Wernher von Himmelberg, was first mentioned in a document in 1196. Around this time, the Slovene place name Sokova , in the dialect Zólkava , seems to have been replaced by the courtly high medieval name Himmelberch (1213). Ulrich von Liechtenstein named Zacchaeus von Himmelberg in his “ Frauendienst ” (around 1255) as one of the singers he defeated in the Friesach singing competition .
In 1329 the Himmelberg district court was expanded to include areas as far as Ossiach , Steuerberg and Reichenau , and the Himmelberg rulership also increased its holdings at this time. The Himmelberg district judge Marchward der Pibriacher had the Biberstein Castle, named after him, built between 1382 and 1396 .
Iron processing developed along the Tiebel from the 16th century, and Himmelberg was known for its scythe smiths well into the 20th century. In the second half of the 19th century, up to 250,000 scythes were manufactured annually in Himmelberg. However, only a few scythe factories survived the turn of the century and production was almost completely stopped in the economic crisis of the interwar period. One of the last scythe trades was the Zeilinger forge "an der Tratten".
The municipality was constituted in 1850. From the original municipality the cadastral Zedlitzdorf and Mitteregg to have been in 1865 Reichenau ceded, and 1895/96 the cadastral Gnesau and Gurk were to form their own local church Gnesau separated. In 1921 Innerteuchen was connected to Arriach and in 1973 smaller parts of the municipality east of Gurktal Straße were connected to Steuerberg .
population
The municipality of Himmelberg has 2,336 inhabitants (2011), 95.8% of whom are Austrian citizens. As a religious affiliation (in 2001) 66.5% stated Roman Catholic and 33.4% Protestant. 3.9% are without religious belief.

- Biedermeier architecture: Bianca Kos: “Through the production of scythes and sickles on the Tiebelbach, Himmelberg had achieved supra-regional importance. Some factory buildings and trade houses date from the first half of the 19th century. House no. 47 (today Schulstrasse no. 1-3) is a representative trade building with the year "MDCCCXXVI" above the basket arch portal with a volute-shaped keystone. The Stöcklbau has a facade from the first half of the 19th century with tassel-shaped decorations on the windows. The trade house of the Resser (today Ladenhüttenweg No. 5) is a typical Biedermeier building with a gable on the front. The coat of arms stone is dated "1822". The "Schifferhaus" (today: Turracher Straße No. 9) is above the entrance portal with the year "1825" and the inscription "Beatus seine homo, qui sedet in sua domo" ("Happy is that person who lives in his house" ) Mistake."

In 1571 it was acquired by Georg von Khevenhüller and in 1662 it finally came into the possession of the Salzburg Prince-Bishop Paris Lodron . Since then it has been the center of an entails commission for the Counts of Lodron and is still in the private ownership of this family to this day.

coat of arms
The coat of arms of the Lords of Himmelberg, whose family was first mentioned in 1196 with Wernher von Himmelberg, was selected as the coat of arms. The shield with the eagle in the gap and the right diagonal bar is attested for Offo von Himmelberg in a document dated July 4, 1322. The eagle is likely to express vassalage to the Holy Roman Empire or the German King, the root of the right-angled bar is unknown.
The coat of arms and flag were awarded to the community on July 11, 1960. The official blazon of the coat of arms reads: A triangular shield split in gold and red, in front with half a black imperial eagle, in the back with a silver diagonal bar.
The flag is red and yellow with an incorporated coat of arms.
