The Kathreinkogel is a mountain at the western end of the Sattnitz in southern Carinthia .
geology
The Kathreinkogel is a witness mountain or a tectonic mini cliff from mitteltriassischem , weak metamorphic überprägtem, coralline algae leading dolomite ( "Diploporendolomit") formed on a mylonitic mica of the pre- perm is pushed over bedrock. The shear zone (mylonitization) extends up to 1.5 m into the carbonate rock. The determination of the age of the dolomite is based exclusively on the calcareous algae, as other fossils from this rock unit are not yet known. It is probable that these units belong to the Oberostalpin , but this is not certain. The dolomite is quarried on the southwest flank of the mountain in a large quarry. The mica schist of the basement is mostly covered by Quaternary sediments in the vicinity of the mountain .
history
Traces of Mesolithic hunters from the 7th millennium BC can be found on the mountain . Farm settlements are tangible from the Neolithic Age (3rd millennium BC). The following Bronze Age culture is seen in connection with the Frög cemetery . The first people known by name to settle here were the Celts . Artifacts from Roman times indicate the presence of the Mithras cult . During the Great Migration , the lofty mountain was used as a place of refuge. A first church from the 5th / 6th centuries Century could be archaeologically secured.
