history

Population development

The place name Kaltenbach is first documented in a document from 1322 in which the sale of a farmstead in Chaltenpach was notarized. The name Kaltenbach goes back to the location by a cold stream .

The basic authority of the place Kaltenbach was originally divided into two parts, whereby at the end of the 16th century 10 houses belonged to Schwarzenau and 12 houses to Kirchberg am Walde . The village authorities also belonged to Schwarzenau, which in the first half of the 17th century also came into the possession of the regional jurisdiction, which it acquired from Allentsteig . In 1783 Kaltenbach came to Vitis from the Echsenbach parish, and the chapel was built between 1861 and 1862. The population in Kaltenbach hardly changed over the centuries, only the number of houses increased, especially in the 20th century. While there were still 21 houses in Kaltenbach in 1590/91, the number rose to just 26 by 1848. In 1850 the place fell to the newly formed municipality of Vitis together with Schacherdorf , Schoberdorf and Gadorf . In 1900 Kaltenbach comprised 28 houses, in 1951 30 houses and in 2000 38 houses.

In the political field, the Austrian People's Party (ÖVP) dominates the election results, analogous to the municipal level. The ÖVP in the electoral district of Kaltenbach achieved 87% (community result: 70%) and the Social Democratic Party of Austria (SPÖ) 13% (community result: 30%) in the 2010 local council election . In 2005, public transport had reached 96%.

Buildings

The place Kaltenbach structurally corresponds to that of an anger village with garden fields, whereby the anger was partially built. The place includes numerous three and four-sided courtyards with mostly late-historical plastered facades. A closed row of barns has been preserved on the so-called back roads, that is, the paths that lead to the back of the farms on the agricultural land.

The local chapel is a two-bay, square-vaulted chapel in neo-Gothic style, which was built after 1909. The chapel has a retracted triangular closure and a gable rider with a gable-pointed helmet, and the outer walls are pierced by a pointed arched gate and pointed arched window. The chapel, consecrated to St. Florian , is equipped with a columnar altar topped with volutes, the altarpiece shows the coronation of Mary . To the west of the village is an eight-sided picture pillar with a brick tabernacle attachment.
