history

Due to the iron production in the nearby Hüttenberg, the area of ​​today's municipality was already settled in the time of the Celts . In 831 the lower Görtschitztal came into the possession of the Archdiocese of Salzburg . The first documentary mention comes from the time between 1060 and 1088. In 1507 the manor and parish of St. Paul under Hornburg were transferred to the St. Paul monastery in Lavanttal .

In 1850, at the same time as the community was established, the name was changed to Klein Sankt Paul. In 1930, the community was given the right to use the name “ market community ”. In 1973 the community area was expanded to include the dissolved local community of Wieting and the cadastral community of Hinterberg (previously part of Lölling).
