The Kainach is a 64 km long river in Austria in Styria , has its source in the Gleinalpen area and always flows in a south-easterly direction.
description
The Kainach is a river that rises on the border with the Murtal district . The natural course of the river has been regulated and shortened several times in order to preserve usable areas. In addition to smaller streams, the Siebenbrunnenbach, the Alpenbach, the Gradnerbach, the Teigitsch , the Söding and the Liebochbach flow into the Kainach . It passes the villages of Kainach near Voitsberg , Bärnbach , Voitsberg , Krottendorf , Mooskirchen and Lieboch , before separating the western Styrian hill country from the Kaiserwald terrace in the lower reaches . At Wildon it finally flows into the Mur .
history
The upper Kainachboden once formed a lake basin, before the water of the Kainach paved its way through the crossbar on which the Krems ruin sits enthroned to the Mur. The area was already inhabited by Stone Age hunters who lived in the numerous caves.
The area of the Kainachboden belonged to the Kingdom of Noricum . Slavs or Wends immigrated into the sparsely populated area and were pushed by the Avars to the sources of the Drava and Mur. Many Slavic field names, river names or place names have been preserved from this time, such as the place names Preding or Laßnitz or the river names Lassnitz (a tributary of the Kainach) and Laßnitz (a tributary of the Sulm).
Surname
The Kainach was first mentioned in a document between 1060 and 1088 as (ad) Cheinahc . The etymology is uncertain. In the first place come the origin of Old High German Kīnaha 'brook in a narrow terrain deepening ', thus for example ' Schlucht - Ache ', or origin from Slavic Ch (v) ojъna (rěka) 'brushwood, conifer brook', which is secondary Old High German aha 'Bach' would have been added. Both the Germanic and the Slavic interpretations lead to conclusions about the settlement of the Kainach Valley, be it within the framework of the German settlement in the east or the advance of the Slavs (since the 6th century from Pannonia along the rivers).
There are also other suggestions. One refers to Slavic * glin'nica 'Lehmbach', another to the Indo-European root ku̯ei-, expanded to ku̯ei-no-, with a meaning 'mud, feces, dirty', and a third connects to Old High German kien 'Kieferharz Kiefer, Kienföhre '.
