Modriach is a place in the Koralpe in Styria as well as a locality and cadastral municipality of the municipality of Edelschrott in the Voitsberg district .

The former municipality with 212 inhabitants (as of January 1, 2020) has been incorporated into the market town of Edelschrott since January 1, 2015 as part of the municipal structural reform in Styria .

geography

Modriach is located southwest of Graz in the Styrian Rand Mountains , in the north of the Koralpe on the border with the Packalpe . The place is on the Modriachbach , which rises at the Hebalm and flows into the Packer Bach .

Modriach consists of only one cadastral municipality , which bears the same name as the municipality and includes the upper reaches of the Modriachbach and its headwaters. The municipality has remained unchanged in its boundaries since the 18th century. In the south of the village, in the Packwinkel district, lies the Hebalm with the ski area of ​​the same name, and in the southwest the Reinischkogel . However, these areas cannot be reached from Modriach via public roads, but only via forest and hiking trails.

history

Modriach
Modriach parish church

The mother parish of the area was the parish Piber , which was looked after from the 12th century until 1786 by the St. Lambrecht monastery . The area of ​​the St. Lambrecht Monastery was formally part of the Diocese of Seckau, but had extensive special rights.

In the 15th and 16th centuries, after the quarter division of Styria in 1462 , Pack was initially in the area of ​​Upper Styria in the quarter enhalb the Piberalm and there in the Judenburg quarter . The Kainach Valley as far as Ligist and Lieboch , Übelbach and Thal to the west of Graz also belonged to this quarter . In 1677 the Kainach Valley and its surroundings, including the area of ​​Modriach, were separated from the Judenburg district and moved to the district between Mur and Traa (Drau), the predecessor of the Marburg district . The community initially remained in this quarter of Styria even after the territorial reforms under Maria Theresa and Joseph II . From November 1, 1783, the Kainachtal came from the Marburger Kreis to the Grazer Kreis , the southern municipality boundary of Modriach became the district boundary.

In the 16th and 17th centuries, the municipality belonged to the " Burgfried der Ämter Pack, Hirscheck and Modriach" for the lower jurisdiction and to the regional court of Voitsberg-Greißenegg of the Obervoitsberg estate for the higher (blood) jurisdiction . However, this only applied outside the eaves : within it, the full lower jurisdiction lay with the respective landlord in the 16th century.

From 1770, when people and houses were recorded for the first time in Austria , people, migrating cattle and houses from Modriach are recorded independently. This registration took place within the framework of the army reforms under Maria Theresa and Joseph II . It led to the introduction of the " numbering sections " (also called Konskriptionsgemeinden). Modriach was one such section. Together with the numbering section Pack, Modriach belonged to the western part of the Ligist advertising district . In the years that followed, the numbering section became the tax municipality and cadastral municipality of the same name Pack.

The community emerged from the cadastral community in 1850 without changing its territory. The neighboring communities of Modriach were recently Edelschrott in the east and north , Kloster in the south and Pack in the west .

Economy and Infrastructure

Traffic connections lead north via secondary roads to Packer Strasse and the Modriach exit of the Südautobahn . The community is connected to Köflach by a school bus on line 722 of the Styrian transport association. This line is operated by GKB ; there are no other public transport connections.

The place is of regional importance as a hiking and skiing area, and several mountain bike and cross-country skiing tours also lead through the municipality. The Schrogentor on the southern border is a prominent waypoint.

The Modriach parish forms a parish of the Graz-Seckau diocese . This parish is no longer occupied by its own priest, but belongs to the parish association Köflach , Pichling bei Köflach , Hirschegg , Modriach and Pack .
