The Laintal is a valley in the Trofaiach Basin in Upper Styria and is a village and cadastral community of the city of Trofaiach in the Leoben district of Styria .

geography

The approximately 7 kilometer long side valley of the Vordernberger Valley extends directly from the town of Trofaiach eastward into the Mürz Valley Alps and, as a wide, gently rising, friendly funnel valley , forms the eastern branch of the Trofaiach basin . The Laintalbach flows through it. In the north are the forest-covered hills of the Kampeck  ( 1524  m above sea level ), in the south the Himberger Eck  ( 1345  m above sea level ).

The village, which includes the entire population of the valley, has over 200 buildings and over 600 inhabitants. The number of residents is growing steadily as new buildings are gradually being built on the many sunny slopes, which are an excellent suburban location in Trofaiach. The congruent cadastral area has 1822.5  hectares .

In the Talung there were originally three groups along the stream, called 1st village, 2nd village and 3rd village (officially Laintal I, II and  III ). Due to the many new buildings, these locations have almost grown together today. Right on the hillside above Laintal II is the old farmstead Moar on the mountain and to the west the farms of Zlatmoar and moss Hubenbauer n. Both Vulgonamen , which apparently date from the time of settlement, indicate that it is in earlier times by a marshy Area, once in Slovenian and once in German . In the Middle Ages and elsewhere, the word moss also meant marshland.

At the entrance to the valley lies the village of Wolkersdorf , which has a certain independence.

Other locations are the scattered houses in the two source valleys, in the Kaintal , which stretches northeast at Laintal III, and the eastward Trasttal , as well as the Almen Bauer in Öd on the sunny side and Abrand on the shadow side.

history

A prehistoric settlement of the valley is certain, on the Steirerkögerl west of Wolkersdorf as well as and at its foot, remains of Urnfield hill settlements were found, probably in connection with the important site on the Kulm opposite. A Roman settlement has also been archaeologically proven with grave finds: On September 23, 1977, during grave work on a plot of land belonging to the farmer Judmaier vulgo Ott, a marble crowning of a grave monument from Roman times was discovered. This most important Roman find so far in the Trofaiach area can be viewed today in the Trofaiach City Museum.

After the end of antiquity, a mixed Bavarian - Slavic population up to the end of the 12th century can be assumed to be certain for the Trofaiach Basin : The place name Laintal was found as Lonka before the 12th century , and then in 1352 as the Leynktal, Loenkal , 1361 as Lonktal , 1383 as Longtal , 1394 in Lanchen, in Lankental , 1434 as Lainkental , 1441 as Lantal, Lawntal , 1454 Laenkal , 1480 finally as Layntal , 1495 Laingtal. The word is derived as Middle High German  longge 'die Flur ' from a possible Old Slavic root lo (n) ka '(swamp) meadow, floodplain'.

At the beginning of the 18th century, Laintal belonged to the Freienstein district as a tax municipality. At that time the population was 470 people (241 male, 229 female), with 88 houses and 94 people living in the area. The three groups of the valley were called Unterdorf, Mitterdorf and Oberdorf, respectively, and had 8, 8 and 13 houses together, Wolkersdorf had 12. Trasttal is called Trastall . The residents in Trofaiach were parish and schooled, but "many children also went to St. Peter". At that time, the elaborate water supply was also remarkable: “The supply of drinking water to many homes is so far that you need two fathoms long pipes for 150–200 meters” (up to over 300 m, meaning drilled wooden pipes).
From the creation of the local communities in 1848/49 , Laintal belonged to Hafning .

The single-class elementary school, last with 16 students, was closed in 2012. A compromise solution was found in that the old class association was continued in the form of a family class in Trofaiach. Children who had just started school went to the respective classes of their school level.

Since January 1, 2013, the Laintal, like the whole Hafning community, has belonged to Trofaiach, to which it had belonged from time immemorial.

Economy, infrastructure and tourism

The only larger companies in the Laintal are a sawmill, a forge and locksmith's shop and an earthmoving company. In addition, there are three inns and smaller businesses, including an electrician and a sports shop. There is also a volunteer fire brigade in the Laintal.

Otherwise the valley is an important recreational area. The Laintal offers numerous hiking opportunities, such as the Hechhittl (= Hütterl auf der Höhe) near the Lautscherkoppe , the Friesingwand , the Kaintalegg, which is also known as the "White Deer" and the bridal box . You can reach St. Katharein , Proleb or Leoben on foot via the forest and alpine mountains east of the Laintal valley . Some farmers offer opportunities for farm holidays .
