history

Krumpendorf was first mentioned in a document in 1216 as Chrumpendorf . The name is likely to be derived from Krumpenfelferdorf , where Felfer was a dialectal name for willow (the expression krump stands for crooked ). The Slovenian name for the place ( Kriva Vrba ) is also derived from crooked willow (an alternative name is Podvrbo , i.e. under the willow ).

Krumpendorf was dominated by agriculture until, in the last two decades of the 19th century, summer tourism, starting from Pörtschach , also reached the localities of the municipality and changed them permanently.

The boundaries of today's municipality were set as early as 1573. The local community was constituted in 1850. In 1920 its share in the village of St. Primus and in 1938 the newly formed cadastral community Gurlitsch was added to the neighboring provincial capital of Klagenfurt. Since 1987, the municipality has had the addition “am Wörther See” in its name, which on July 1, 2012 was changed to “am Wörthersee”.

The census of May 15, 2001 showed a resident population of 2848, with 46.6% women and 53.4% ​​men.

Castles

• The Drasing Castle , north of Krumpendorf located on a wooded hill, is a three-story, castle-like renaissance. In its place there was probably already a previous building during the Carolingian era, which served as a bailey to the Palatinate Moosburg . Drasing Castle was mentioned in a document in 1284 and 1362. The building was originally built around the middle of the 14th century and received its present form in the course of the 16th century. The castle was repaired in 1842/43 and restored again from 1994 to 1996. It is privately owned.
• The Krumpendorf Castle on the main street in Krumpendorf was built in 1735-1740.
• Hornstein Castle is located on a wooded slope north of Krumpendorf. It was built by Ulrich Hornsteiner in the 15th century and is now privately owned.

Other structures

• A milestone has been set up next to a well on the Südbahnweg in the west of the municipality ; it bears the inscription 1 mile from Klagenfurt . Almost certainly one Austrian post mile is meant, about 7.586 km. This corresponds to the distance from the then outskirts of Klagenfurt to this marking point on the cycle path to Pörtschach .
• Gut Walterskirchen : There was some controversy and political bickering about the sale of the Walterskirchen estate from the state of Carinthia to the timber industrialist Hans Tilly. The expansion and conversion of the former building into a feudal retirement home could not be prevented despite the legal provisions. Several trees from the previously dense tree population were felled. In 2008 the old manor house was demolished and a new building was erected in its place, which was completed in 2009. At the southern headland of the estate on the banks of the Wörthersee there is a wooden tower, a structure clad with clapboard-like larch boards, which is very clearly visible from the southern bank of the Wörthersee.
• The listed empty scrap tower from 1818 has belonged to Klagenfurt (Villacher Strasse 354) since 1938 through an incorporation. See list for details

Natural monuments

• Weiberzahn North of the Walterskirchen estate in the Pritschitz district in the Föhrenwald lies a large boulder on sloping terrain. It bears the name Weiberzahn and has the dimensions of about six meters in length, a maximum width of about three meters and an average height of a little over two meters. In the context of fertility rituals it was used as a sliding stone.
• Gletschertopf The Jerolitsch inn is on Hallegger Strasse in the Görtschach district. From there, turn into Drasingerstraße and follow it for about 150 m to the well-marked junction into a forest path on the right. After a walking time of about seven minutes, the orange markings lead to the glacier pot in the middle of the forest, which was formed in an exposed rock formation during the last ice age, which was coming to an end due to dripping glacier melt water . It is remarkable that this glacial appearance in the form of the cup-shaped depression in the rock has been preserved over the millennia.
