history

Kaindorf was founded around 1128 by Konrad von Safen, who had recently received the area of ​​today's Kaindorf parish from the Styrian Margrave Leopold the Strong . Kaindorf is first mentioned in 1255 as Chundorf (the village of Chuno or Konrad). After the Lords of Safen died out in the 13th century, their property came to the Lords of Stubenberg , Neuberg and Stadeck and the Teuffenbacher.

In 1523 the place was first mentioned in a document with the current name Khaindorff .

The church of St. Jakob is first mentioned in 1313 as a vicariate church. The current parish church was built at the beginning of the 18th century using older components.

Kaindorf was located in the frequently visited border area and was destroyed by the Hungarians in 1418 , by the Turks in 1532 and by the Haidukes in 1605 . On July 25, 1704 the village was set on fire by the Kuruc . Kaindorf only developed from a purely agricultural settlement into a commercial center in the Safental in the 20th century.

From the end of the Second World War, there was brisk construction activity in Kaindorf due to the economic upswing, as a result of which the building stock has more than doubled in the last 50 years.

On July 1, 1998 Kaindorf was raised to a market town .

The community belongs to the LEADER region of East Styria and has been part of the Kaindorf ecoregion since 2007 .

On November 20, 2011, the eligible voters of the communities Dienersdorf , Ebersdorf , Großhart , Hartl , Hofkirchen bei Hartberg , Kaindorf and Tiefenbach bei Kaindorf voted on whether these seven communities should be merged into one large community on the occasion of the structural reform of Styria 2010-2015 . With a total turnout of 65.66%, 3351 valid votes were counted. Of these, only 436 voters (13%) voted for a merger of the municipalities, while 2915 voters (87%) voted against a merger. This clearly rejected the plans of the Styrian state government .

A concept from 2012/13 envisaged the merger of Dienersdorf, Hofkirchen and Kaindorf to form a community of around 2,000 inhabitants.

All previous municipalities each had a municipality coat of arms. Due to the amalgamation of municipalities, these lost their official validity on January 1st, 2015.

The municipal coat of arms for Kaindorf was awarded with effect from May 1, 1987. The blazon (description of the coat of arms) reads:

"Above a blue linden leaf cut in the base of the shield in gold a blue cross of St. James ."

The reassignment of the same coat of arms took place with effect from September 1, 2015. The St. James cross refers to the church patron (St. Jacob), the linden leaves to the manorial rule (linden leaves in the coat of arms of Messrs. Neuberg ). The color blue refers to the location of the municipality on the Saifen .
