The Lassnitzbach , also Laßnitz , is a right tributary of the Mur in Upper Styria in Austria .

Name customer

The name Lassnitz is spelled differently. The official Austrian map 2007 uses the variant Lassnitz- for the stream, while the localities are written as Laßnitz- . Older maps use Lasnitz .

Lassnitz is used not only as a name for the river, but also for its entire valley landscape and the municipality of Laßnitz near Murau. The word is pronounced in everyday life with a stressed, long “a”, the double “ss” in some spellings is no indication of a short pronounced vowel.

The name comes from Slavic , originally z. B. Lieznica , Luosniza , and is translated as 'Waldbach'. In linguistics, Laßnitz (from the year 890:  Luonzniza ) also (reconstructed) * loNč'nica 'Wiesenbach' is discussed, as a further possibility (from the year 1345: Lesniz for the place or in 1080 in the Paltental Laznich ) * laz 'nica to a clearing name (i.e.' Gereutbach 'or' Rodebach '). The derivation from * laz / 6nica , to lazъ , 'clearing, receding, clear spot in the forest' contains a reference to the course of the brook in a cleared area.

geography

Run and landscape

The area of ​​the Lasnitz with the border triangle formed by the source rivers in the map by Georg Matthäus Vischer 1678.
The Lasnitz bei Murau and its surroundings in the Schwarzenbergische Murau district court, street and path folder 1769/1772.
Murauer Lassnitz based on the general map of Central Europe 1: 200,000 at the end of the 19th century.

The Lassnitzbach flows in the Gurktal Alps from the Metnitz Mountains north to the Mur . Its course lies in the municipalities of Metnitz in Carinthia and Laßnitz near Murau in Styria .

It arises from two source rivers: the Priewaldbach from the southeast and the Auenbach (also called Grattingerbach) from the southwest. The Priewaldbach rises in the Metnitz Mountains at the Priewaldkreuz between Kuhalm and Mittagskogel at 1300  m above sea level. A. , the Auenbach at the foot of the Ackerlhöhe south of Murau at 1175  m above sea level. A.

These source rivers form the border between the Austrian federal states of Styria and Carinthia . The Priewaldbach is Grenzbach in its entire course, the Auenbach from the confluence of the Grenzbach. The brooks form a triangle with which the area of ​​the province of Carinthia (municipality Metnitz ) extends from the south over the ridge of the Gurktal Alps into the Murtal.

The villages of Kärntnerisch Laßnitz and Steirisch Laßnitz are located on the Lassnitzbach and its source rivers . The settlement areas ( cadastral communities ) along the stream are called Laßnitz-Lambrecht (east) and Laßnitz-Murau (west). The village of St. Egidi north of the confluence of the Lassnitzbach and the Mur was formerly known as “St. Egidi-Laßnitz "called.

The name "Laßnitzdorf" (like "Laßnitz") is used jointly for the villages of Steirisch Laßnitz and Carinthian Laßnitz, which are separated by the state border.

As village "Laßnitzbach" the houses are referred to in the Mur valley at the junction of Lassnitzbach Valley.

To the west of the Lassnitzbach is the Murauer Frauenalm ( 1583  m above sea level ), on which there is a recreational and winter sports area.

The road connection from Murau via St. Lambrecht to the Neumarkter and Perchauer Sattel leads via Laßnitz-Lambrecht along the Talbach to the east and past the Weyrerteich .

A road leads through the valley of the Auenbach to Metnitz .

geology

The Lassnitzbach flows in a zone of very old rocks in the Alps :

Its course lies in the north of the “Murau and Gurktal Paleozoic ”, which was formed from approx. 540 to 300 million years old, partly volcanic rocks. It is a mountain zone that has not been strongly reshaped during the mountain formation (only weakly metamorphically overprinted), so that a largely complete sequence of layers from the Ordovician to the Upper Carboniferous can be reconstructed. The "layers of Kher", Metadiabase , Eisenhutschiefer , these rocks are assigned to the Ordovician to Silurian are characteristic of these rock sequences . The area is part of the Upper Eastern Alpine ceiling floor of the Alps.

The middle reaches of the Lassnitzbach cut into gravel deposits of the Mur glacier ( moraines ) from the Ice Age ( Pleistocene ).

Shortly before the confluence with the Mur, there is a narrow strip of Murau limestone (old Paleozoic ligament limestone), which is assigned to the Devonian and another strip of quartzite (Semmering quartzite ) from the Permian to Scyth .

Environment and soil

The Lassnitzbach flows through forests and agricultural areas. The settlements in its catchment area are partly located directly on the water.

The agriculturally usable (or previously used as such) soils on the Lassnitzbach are largely lime-free loose sediment brown soils , on the slopes of Ranker and Hanggleye .

Water quality

The water quality is quality class I-II (almost unpolluted, in practice almost drinking water quality). Less pollution can arise from the neighboring farms and settlement.

The water hardness is low (range 1–2 - soft water).

history

Part of the catchment area of ​​the Lassnitzbach belonged to the holdings of the Schwarzenberg family in the Murau district until the 19th century , another part to the Benedictine monastery of St. Lambrecht and the Carinthian part was mainly subject to the Gurk diocese .
