history

In the cadastral community Rettenbach in the area of ​​the property vlg. Stadelhofer (Stadelhofer forest, left the Stullneggbaches) is an archaeological site with five barrows (burial mounds) of the Roman Empire . The place was examined in the years after 1880, it turned out that the graves were no longer undisturbed and no more important discoveries could be made. Publications that assign this site to the cadastral municipality of the same name in Rettenbach in the former municipality of Kloster are incorrect, there has been a mix-up. In addition to this excavation, there are a number of other archaeological sites in Hollenegg, for example in the area of ​​Trag.

Location of the former municipality of Hollenegg in the Deutschlandsberg district with the municipality boundaries until the end of 2014

A Hollenegg castle was first mentioned in 1165. The place was part of the Mark Steiermark, created in 1122, which was separated from Bavaria as the Duchy of Styria in 1180 . From 1192 the area was ruled by the Babenbergs in personal union between Austria and Styria. From 1282 to 1918 the area was under the rule of the Habsburgs . According to the structure of Styria in the early modern period, Hollenegg was in the "Quarter between Mur and Drau", from which the Marburg District was formed from 1749 until the administrative reform in 1848 , and from then on in the Graz District . On November 6, 1918, Hollenegg came to the Republic of German-Austria as part of Styria. After the annexation of Austria in 1938 it became part of the Reichsgau Steiermark, from 1945 to 1955 it was part of the British zone of occupation in Austria.

Dates for the establishment of the local community Hollenegg are announced in the documents of the community reorganization 1850.

Culture and sights

The original castle of Hollenegg was a fortified local mountain (tower castle, motte ). This "Alt-Hollenegg" was about 300 meters north and 50 meters lower than Hollenegg Castle. The complex was archaeologically examined in 1999/2000. It is one of the larger systems of this type. Its remains can still be seen in a wooded area. A moth is a simple defensive structure on a hill, consisting of heaps of earth and wooden fortifications. A building within the fortification was also a timber structure, but could also consist of half-timbered or stone. The moth hill no. 1 is dated to the 12th century at the latest, a hill no. 2 in the 13th century. Subsequently, the place was expanded with residential and farm buildings and a cistern. In 2006 the system was one of the topics of the international conference “Motte - Turmhügelburg - Hausberg. On the European state of research of a medieval castle type ”. Finds such as glasses and weapon parts testify to the wealth of the owners. At the end of the 14th century, the buildings seem to have been demolished, indicating that this is related to the expansion of Hollenegg Castle, but there is no evidence.

In the rear part of the Stullnegg is the Spangstein ruin , the "Ahnherrschloss" (also called Annaherrn, Arnhern). The building was built in the middle of the 13th century by servants from the Pettau family. The locals associate it with a cruel legend in which a daughter of the lord of the castle, who refused to be married against her will, was killed by her father. The castle is in constant decline, where around 1950 a number of buildings were still visible, today only a few remains. The complex belonged to a series of castles and fortified places in the area of ​​Schwanberg, which had to guard the crossings over the Koralm.

Neu-Hollenegg Castle , today Hollenegg Castle , was expanded by Francesco Marmoro around 1570 and has been in the possession of the Princes of Liechtenstein since 1821 . This castle was bought by Prince Johann I Josef for his son Franz de Paula , the great-grandfather of the head of state of Liechtenstein Franz Josef II., With the lordship of Deutschlandsberg-Hollenegg . The castle park is also important.

The parish church of Hollenegg , dedicated to St. Aegydius , stands in the middle of the second courtyard of Hollenegg Castle. It is mentioned in a document around 1165, Hollenegg is first mentioned as a parish in 1445. A new building took place in 1778. The church received a new organ in 1891, the previous organ was transferred to St. Wolfgang.

St. Wolfgang ob Hollenegg (commonly known as Wolfgangikirche ) is a small pilgrimage church in the middle of the cemetery on a hill (767 m) above Hollenegg. It offers a panoramic view of Eastern, Southern and Western Styria. The church was built in 1494 in Gothic style, only its choir has been preserved. The high altar from the 2nd quarter of the 17th century shows St. Wolfgang with the Virgin Mary and other saints. The organ was transferred here from the parish church; it is dated around 1780.

The Patrizikirche is like St. Wolfgang, a Localie the parish church, it is the Holy. Patrizius consecrated existed before 1599, but is documented only 1735th In the time of religious disputes it was the church of the Catholics, while the castle church served Protestant teaching. Its organ from around 1800 is the former organ of the Church of St. Wolfgang. The church was built in 1777 by the builder of the castle church using an older apse.
