history

Since the settlement of the area by the Karantaner - Slavs in the 6th century. and the establishment of the Carantan state in the 7th century, the area of ​​the Sattnitz (Slov. Gure ) and Köttmannsdorf / Kotmara vas is closely linked to the Slovene cultural history.

Köttmannsdorf was first mentioned in 1142 as Kotmansdorf , derived from the personal name Hotemer . During this time, some of the still existing localities in the municipality emerged, which in the 13th century belonged to the Viktring monastery or the Keutschach rule .

The Hollenburg on the left bank of the Drau was also mentioned for the first time in 1142 . For centuries it was the power center of the Rosental , the respective lords of the Hollenburg, as the first the Hollenburgers , shaped the area between the Drau and the Keutschacher Tal. Almost destroyed by an earthquake in 1348 and then rebuilt, it was the seat of a regional court from 1349. Maximilian I sold the castle to Siegmund von Dietrichstein in 1514 . The Hollenburg line of the Dietrichstein family, named after her , expanded the castle into a castle in the 16th and 17th centuries, as it is still preserved today. With Moritz von Dietrichstein , this branch of the family died out in the male line in 1864.

In 1850, the community of Köttmannsdorf was formed from the cadastral communities of Hollenburg, Köttmannsdorf and Rotschitzen.

In 1869 the municipality of Wurdach, which had existed since 1850, was incorporated with the villages of Wurdach, Plöschenberg, Mostiz, St. Margarethen and Tschrestal.

1920 "Carinthian referendum" : 62.3% of the population vote to stay with Austria.

After the official end of the Second World War (May 8), on May 10, 1945, Slovenian Domobranci (Home Guard), anti-communist Četnik units , Volksdeutsche Waffen SS units ( 7th SS Volunteer Mountain Division "Prinz Eugen" ) and fleeing anti-communist civilians from Yugoslavia with the Titopartisans, still heavy fighting at the Hollenburg. These columns of refugees were interned by the British in a provisional refugee camp at Viktringer Feld on the northeastern municipal boundary of Köttmannsdorf and handed over to the partisans in the second half of May.

On the night of October 11, 2008, Governor Jörg Haider was killed in a traffic accident in Lambichl on the Loiblpass road . Since then, people have been making pilgrimages to the scene of the accident and laying down flowers, candles, flags and expressions of mourning. The traditional Carinthian associations also hold a counter-rally with a wreath-laying ceremony on a regular basis.

Geography and nature

The farmer from Karutschnig

The farm was run as a separate business until 1909, before it came into the possession of the Razaj farm on the Plöschenberg through purchase. The building still stood on the east side of the meadow until 1988. Now not even the smallest remnant of the wall reminds of it. Today, as a result of the lack of fertilizers, many meadow flowers such as B. the mosquito-Händelwurz and the Fiederschuppen- meadow knapweed can be admired.

Rural life

Rural life on the Sattnitz ridge has always been shaped by the water-permeable conglomerate rock. Most house springs were fed by water veins close to the surface and dried up during longer periods of drought. Often the drinking water then had to be laboriously fetched from the deeper trenches. The remote clearing islands were particularly hard hit. So the desert farms have been abandoned over the past few decades.

Sinkholes and karst phenomena

Because of its high proportion of lime, the up to 400 meters thick Sattnitz conglomerate behaves like a soluble limestone mountain range and shows various karst features . So z. B. Soak funnels, which are referred to as sinkholes . After seeping into the ground, the water flows down to the water-retaining coal-clay layers below the conglomerate and comes to the surface in numerous, sometimes very productive springs at the foot of the Sattnitz train. Famous is z. B. the Müllner spring at Bassgeigensee with a second pour of 50-150 liters of water.

The scops owl from Köttmannsdorf

Köttmannsdorf is considered the most populous breeding area of ​​the scops owl in Austria. In 2007, the breeding behavior of these birds was monitored in a specially prepared nest box and essential behavior of this shy nocturnal bird could be researched. The almost natural mountain regions offer this migratory bird an ideal food supply.

population

According to the 2001 census, the municipality of Köttmannsdorf has 2,792 inhabitants, 95.1% of whom are Austrian, 1.6% German and 1.4% Bosnian citizens. 6.4% of the population belong to the Slovene-speaking ethnic group .

81.6% of the community population profess to the Roman Catholic Church , 5.0% to the Evangelical Church , 1.5% to Islam , and 8.6% are without religious belief.

The Catholic parish is bilingual, German and Slovenian.

The Slovenian dialect

Typologically, Köttmannsdorf belongs to the Slovenian dialect group of the so-called Rosental dialect or to its northwestern variety, the Sattnitz ( Gure ). Numerous phonetic, morphological and lexical archaisms are characteristic.

The autochthonous Slovenian name of the inhabitants of the Sattnitz (Slov. Gure = mountain region) is Gorjanci (in contrast to the name of the inhabitants of the lower Klagenfurt field Poljanci < polje = field).

The Slovenian field names

The embedding of the area in the Slovene cultural history also gives rise to the consistently Slovene field names in the community, which activists of the local cultural association repertorize with scientific meticulousness and in cooperation with the Ethnographic Institute Urban Jarnik in Klagenfurt and finally publish them in printed and electronic form were. Audio samples in the local Slovenian dialect can be found on the association's website. In 2010 the vocabulary of the Slovene field and farm names in Carinthia was declared an intangible world heritage , as declared by UNESCO and included in the list of Austria (national cultural property) .

The Slovene field names also correspond to the often Slovene house names, as they are also repertorated in book form.

Slovenian club life and the Gorjanci cultural association

The men's quartet Gorjanci was founded by the later Slovenian mayor and cultural activist Matija Prosekar as early as 1885 , making the later Slovenian cultural association one of those with the longest institutional tradition in the country. In 1888, a branch of the Slovene Kyrill and Method school association ( Društvo svetega Cirila in Metoda ) was founded in Köttmannsdorf .

The Slovenian cultural association Gorjanci itself was founded on December 14, 1919 as an educational association. The founding of the Gorjanci educational association goes back to the great Slovenian cultural movement of that time, as part of the efforts to affirm Slovenian identity on the one hand, and numerous Slovenian educational and cultural associations in response to the growing political, economic and social pressure to Germanize on the other hand, and in many cases to this day active Slovenian cooperatives as well as savings and loan funds were established. The first chairman was Prosekar's son Tomaž Prosekar. The most important fields of activity of the Cultural Association Gorjanci were the amateur theater , the Tambura , the leadership of a club library as well as the holding of verschiedenster educational activities.

The Slovenian cultural association Gorjanci offers a wide range of cultural activities and opportunities to meet.

coat of arms

The coat of arms of Köttmannsdorf refers to the Hollenburg, which was decisive in history for the community as well as the entire region. A seal of Ulrich von Hollenburg, who held the castle from 1308 to 1335, was used as a template on a document dated February 2, 1335. Its motif is interpreted as three hazelnuts in a three-pass , even if older seals show more pointed oval leaves. An earlier interpretation as elder leaves in the sense of a "talking" coat of arms ("Hollerburg") is no longer represented today, as the name of the castle is probably derived from the sandstone caves in the castle rock.

The municipality's coat of arms and flag were awarded on August 21, 1961. The official blazon of the coat of arms reads: "In a green triangular shield on a golden, diagonally right-facing handle, three golden hazelnuts in a three-pass." The flag is green and yellow with an incorporated coat of arms.
