The Lineckberg (short Lineck ) is a 702 m above sea level. A. high hill in the Grazer Bergland in the Austrian state of Styria . It is located in the northeast of the provincial capital Graz and forms the highest point in the city on the left bank of the Mur .
Location and surroundings
The elongated Lineckberg extends approximately in a west-east direction on the border between the Graz city district Andritz and the municipality Weinitzen . In the west and north it is bounded by Annengraben and Schöcklbach. To the east the ridge runs over the Linecksattel ( 623 m ) to the Hauenstein , in the south the Dürrgraben separates the elevation from the Pfangberg . The Lineckberg is recorded in the ÖK as an altitude with the value 700, but reaches its highest point 750 meters east of it. In a clearing not far from the site, a memorial stone commemorates Franz Friehs (1919–1937). The mountain is part of the landscape protection area of the northern and eastern hill country of Graz (LSG-30) and can be reached on hiking trails from the Dürrgraben bus stop and Wenisbuch .
etymology
The name "Lineck" or "Linegg" - both spellings are still reflected in street names today - has its origins in Old High German . Lind means soft or pliable, the attribute corner indicates a striking change in the terrain. Based on the field and mountain names , a vulgon name was created that has survived to this day. Around 1400 the name André Lyndekker is documented, which over the years changed to Lindecker (1527), Lindegger (1547) and finally Linecker.
In the Franziszeischen cadastre in the area of the Lineckberg the field names Sternberg and Steinnberg can be found.
Geology and geomorphology
The Lineckberg belongs to the Graz Paleozoic . It is morphologically separated from the Schöckl massif by the deeply cut Annengraben , but shares with it the geological base, consisting of Schöckl limestone and striatopore limestone. The carbonate rocks also come to light on the north side of the mountain. The hanging wall is formed by various green rocks, including black slate , phyllite and quartzite . On the south-eastern flank, reddish loam with reclaimed slate occurs, which can be assigned to the younger tertiary hill country. Vinzenz Hilber discovered a deposit of diabase at the exit of the Dürrgraben as well as local mineralogical occurrences of mica and plagioclases . Helmut Flügel also pointed out the occurrence of chloritoid on the peaks of Lineckberg and Platte .
Legend of the Hollermandl
A legend tells of the so-called Mandlkeusche and their good house spirit , the Hollermandl. The male is said to have lived a long time ago in an elder bush on the Lineckberg and given the farmer a lot of blessings. It supported him in the house and in the fields, tended the cattle and saved his family from disease. It never asked for anything in return for any of that. One Christmas day the farmer's wife decided to give Hollermandl a new white dress, whose clothes had become dirty from all the work. No sooner had she put the dress in the bushes than Mandl appeared crying in the farmhouse room and complained that now that a present had been given to him, it would have to go away forever. The Hollermandl was never seen again and the farmer got worse and worse.
