Oberguggenberger

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Oberguggenberger is a family name rarely used in Austria .

The name was once borne by a family on the Guggenberg in the village of Maria Luggau in the Lesach Valley in the federal state of Carinthia . The name is widespread in the valley today, but individual valley residents have also spread the name elsewhere in Austria and parts of Germany when they changed their place of residence . The reason for this is the valley's economic orientation towards agriculture and tourism and the lack of educational and work opportunities due to the valley's topography, location and number of inhabitants.

The residents at the foot of the Guggenberg bear the surname Unterguggenberger , which is rarely used even today .
