Moosburg ( Slovenian Možberk ) is a market town with 4478 inhabitants (as of January 1, 2020) in the Klagenfurt-Land district in the state of Carinthia in Austria .
geography
Moosburg is located in the middle of the Moosburger Basin , part of the Klagenfurt Basin .
The medieval parishes of Moosburg and Tigring encompassed almost the entire area of the Moosburg basin or exceeded it in the west and north as far as the Glan .
Moosburger ponds
As Damnigteich once a swamp belt around the Mosaburch, the Moosburger Teiche today form a pond landscape of three larger ponds, the Moosburger Mühlteich, the Mitterteich and the Damnigteich, and two smaller ponds.
The ponds are located west of the village of Moosburg in the middle of a 204-hectare nature reserve in an old furrow filled with deposits from the Ice Age , which has insufficient drainage due to the deepening and is therefore heavily marshy over large areas. Embedded in a flat, hilly landscape, the ponds are fed by the Stallhofen stream, which has only a small amount of water and dries out completely in the summer months.
Most of the area around the ponds consists of forest. The silting vegetation is formed by reeds and pond rushes as well as cattails. Characteristic types of the extensive underwater flora are spawning herbs, milfoil and water lilies. The water is brownish in color due to the boggy character of the surrounding area.
The Moosburger Mühlteich is a popular swimming lake .

history
etymology
The word "Moos" (" Moor ") is of Bavarian origin; the name "Moosburg" comes from Old High German like the name of the Moosburg village Ameisbichl, which was originally called "Salmannsbichl".
Roman times
Already in Roman times from around 15 BC "Staats (heer) straßen" ( "Römerstraßen" ) on the north bank of the Wörthersee and on the northern edge of the Moosburg basin through the valley of the Glan . Around Wernberg, a side road branched off the Roman state road and crossed today's Moosburg municipality via Stallhofen – Albern – Tigring. At Tigring , this side road is said to have crossed a road coming from the Glantal, which has been reminiscent of a section of the “Roman road” and a “milestone” ( “Leugenstein”) there for several years .
During excavations on the church hill of Tigring , where a Roman estate may have been, u. a. a Greco-Roman equestrian statuette and a marble Caesar head found. Remains of ancient marble buildings were also found in St. Peter near Moosburg .
Roman gravestones, so-called "Roman stones" , adorn the parish church of St. Michael and St. Georg in Moosburg and the church in Nussberg .
Time of the francs
Historically significant Moosburg was also in the time of the Carolingian (middle of the 8th century to early 10th century): The later Duke of Carinthia , East Frankish king and Holy Roman German Emperor Arnulf of Carinthia (850-899) grew up on the Palatinate Arnulf festivals in Moosburg and spent many years of his later reign there; so he celebrated Christmas here in 888 . The castle ruins of the Arnulfsfeste (Hetzelburg), which was probably built in the 9th century and popularly known as "Mosaburch", is located on the Moosburger ponds .
Every year in July, the " Kaiser Arnulfsfest " has been held in Moosburg since 1986 .
Period of the Count Palatine of Gorizia and the Habsburgs
In the period from 1100 to the second half of the 15th century, the Count Palatine of Gorizia ruled Moosburg; the Habsburgs followed them .
Time of the Ernauer
In the 16th century the rule of Moosburg passed from the Lords of Graben into the possession of the Ernauer noble family . The family got its name from the castle Ernau in the Styrian valley of the Liesing .
In 1462 a Jakob von Ernau was married to a Margaretha von Moosburg, whose family had died out in the male line ; the rule of Moosburg came to the Ernauer, whose ownership it passed in 1515 by purchase.
At the beginning of the 16th century, the Ernauer built Moosburg Castle on a hill above the village . The palace, built in the late Gothic style , was probably built under Georg von Ernau († 1541) and redesigned and expanded under Ulrich II von Ernau (1531–1607) and his son Hector .
In 1629/30 the family, which had meanwhile become Protestant, had to leave the Duchy of Carinthia in the course of the Counter-Reformation because of their Protestant faith ; In 1630, Hector von Ernau sold the Moosburg castle and manor to the imperial councilor and landscape secretary Johann Weber von Ehrenthal .
Modern times
Moosburg was constituted as a local congregation in 1850; In 1899, the cadastral parishes of St. Peter bei Moosburg and Tigring separated from the original parish and formed their own local parish .
In the course of the community reform in 1973, Tigring was incorporated into Moosburg, as was part of the dissolved community of Wölfnitz.
In 1997 Moosburg was granted the right to use the designation " Marktgemeinde ".
population
Moosburg has 4,463 inhabitants (according to the 2001 census) of which 96.0% are Austrian citizens, 1.4% are German citizens .
81.3% of the residents of the community profess to the Roman Catholic Church and 7.2% to the Protestant Church , 8.2% describe themselves as non-denominational .
