history

The first documented mention of a settlement at this point goes back to the year 1180 ( Slaebnich , altslow. "Schluchtberg"). The town charter was first documented in 1322. It can be traced back to the flourishing mining industry in the Schladminger Tauern , where up to 1,500 miners were employed. It is from here that initial efforts to standardize the working conditions for miners throughout Europe originate ( Schladminger Bergbrief 1408). Silver , lead , copper , and later cobalt and nickel were mined .

When the miners took part in the peasant revolts against the Salzburg authorities (1524–1526) in the course of the Reformation , Schladming was almost completely destroyed under Archduke Ferdinand I in 1525 and the town's rights were revoked. Schladming was not given back its town charter until 1925.

Up to the present day the administration of the political branch has its seat in the smaller Gröbming , with which the Counter-Reformation shows its after-effects even after almost 500 years.

Mining, which had shaped Schladming's history for centuries, was gradually stopped in the course of the 19th century. The next upswing came with the development of the Ennstal with a railway line in 1875. This marked the beginning of the rise to a tourism and winter sports center .

The Schladming Hospital was founded in 1947. Until 1961 the surgeon Hans Martz (* 1912 in Łódź ) was the chief physician.

As part of the structural reform of Styria , the municipalities of Pichl-Preunegg and Rohrmoos-Untertal were merged with Schladming to form the new municipality of Schladming on January 1st, 2015 . A complaint by the municipalities of Pichl-Preunegg and Rohrmoos-Untertal against the merger at the Constitutional Court was unsuccessful.

coat of arms

AUT Schladming COA.png

All three merged communities had their own coat of arms by the end of 2014. Due to the amalgamation of municipalities, these lost their official validity on January 1st, 2015. The new municipal coat of arms was awarded by the Styrian state government with effect from July 10, 2017. The blazon reads:

“A silver miner in a blue shield, wearing a smock and a cap and leaning on his left knee, with the mallet in his raised right hand to strike the silver rock that has grown out of the right edge of the shield into the base of the shield. "

The Schladming city coat of arms is based on an old market seal from 1621 depicting a kneeling miner at work. It shows a miner in half profile with a pickaxe and mallet. The illustration is in silver and ocher against a blue background.
