Incorporations

The communities of Zwaring and Pöls were merged on January 1st, 1968. Today's municipality was created on January 1st, 2015 by merging the municipal areas of Dobl and Zwaring-Pöls .

history

Dobl was first mentioned in documents as "Tobel" in 1219 when Archbishop Eberhard II of Salzburg assigned the district to the newly founded diocese of Seckau . For centuries the history of Dobl was influenced by Gjaidhof Castle , which was Maria Theresa's hunting lodge .

The district of Fading is traced back to a settlement in Carolingian times . Its settlement history has been examined in detail. The name is derived from the first name "Fadi-", which means "man" in the sense of "warrior, hero". Names with "-ing" , if they can be traced back to place names or personal names, can form evidence of settlements from the 7th to 9th centuries in the German-speaking area.

The first local congregations as autonomous bodies came into being in 1850. After the annexation of Austria in 1938, the congregations became part of the Reichsgau Steiermark, from 1945 to 1955 they were part of the British zone of occupation in Austria. The former municipality of Pöls an der Wieserbahn was taken over from the Leibnitz district to the Graz-Umgebung district on January 1, 1957.

The communities of Zwaring and Pöls were amalgamated on January 1, 1968 at the suggestion of the Graz-Umgebung district administration. Both municipalities vote in October 1967 in favor of the voluntary merger, as this would give them a higher share of tax revenue. There was only disagreement about the name of the community. While the municipality of Zwaring and the district administration pleaded for Zwaring-Pöls , the municipality of Pöls spoke out in favor of Pöls-Zwaring , since Pöls, first mentioned in 1244, is the older part of the municipality and since Zwaring-Pöls was alphabetically at the end of the municipalities in the Graz-Umgebung district .

politics

Mayor was Anton Weber (ÖVP) from March 10, 1994 to March 10, 2019. Deputy Mayor Ernst Gödl took over the official duties on an interim basis . In the municipal council meeting on March 21, 2019, Waltraud Walch succeeded as mayor.

Buildings

• The Pöls castle was first mentioned in 1244 as Zehenthof the Bishop of Salzburg. At the end of the 16th century it was expanded into a nobleman's seat, which changed hands frequently in the following years. At the end of the 18th century, the castle finally served as a brewery , which was closed again in 1801. In 1840 the estate was owned by the von Saffran family, last until 1855 by Ludwig Freiherr von Saffran. Estate and castle Pöls Duchess of Oldenburg, whose married name was in 1855 by Frederica, Baroness from Washington to her marriage to Maximilian Emanuel of Washington , a relative of the first president of the United States , George Washington , purchased. The family commissioned the Viennese architect Moritz Wappler with fundamental renovation work, some of which were designed as “buildings in Swiss style”. A contemporary source emphasized the “poultry house… which was built according to the most rational principles, provided with an egg, hatching and fattening room, and offers space for around 30 races of different chickens and pheasants, which lead to the places enclosed with low wire grids the garden side. ”There was also a luxury horse stable in the economic area of ​​the castle. The property comprised 108 hectares of land and a few hectares of leased land.

Pöls Castle became a model farm under the Washington family. Max von Washington was described in contemporary literature as "one of the most outstanding authorities in Austria in the field of agriculture and breeding",

The company was a role model, especially when it came to breeding poultry, fish, pigs and horses, but also when it came to working with agricultural machinery. During his coronation as King of Hungary in 1876, the Austrian Emperor Franz Joseph I rode a stallion from the Pöls stable. Maximilian von Washington organized the first agricultural exhibition in Styria in Pöls in 1863.

The grounds of the palace park, the area of ​​which was almost bare when it was acquired in 1855, goes back to Friederike von Oldenburg, who also had exotic plants such as the tulip tree , slit-leaved beech , bluebell tree and other plants planted for this purpose . In later years the focus was on poultry breeding, in the context of which an extensive dispatch of hatching eggs is documented.

In the years 1870/71 the estate was in economic difficulties for family reasons, but was able to recover from it, remained in her possession until the death of Friederike von Washington on March 20, 1891 and then passed on to her son George von Washington . On the occasion of his second marriage to Maria Kreuzig on November 24, 1924, George von Washington transferred all his possessions (with the exception of small gifts to his illegitimate daughter Huberta von Hohenpriel) to his wife. Maria von Washington sold the castle together with the estate in 1928 to the family of the Barons von Allesch, who still own it today. (H. Rößmann, great-grandson of Mary of Washington).

• One of the sights worth mentioning is the Dobl transmitter , a medium-wave transmitter from the Second World War . The transmitter mast, like the transmitter building in which the private radio station Antenne Steiermark was based, is a listed building.

Natural monuments

On June 23, 2003, a giant spruce (or giant fir) was uprooted in the palace gardens of Pöls , which was taken in 1856 by King Otto I of Greece (cousin of Emperor Franz Joseph I of Austria - Otto I's father and Franz Joseph's mother were siblings - and brother-in-law of Marie Friederike von Washington), was planted on the occasion of his visit to Pöls Castle together with his wife Amalie (née Duchess of Oldenburg and sister of Friederike von Washington) and had a trunk circumference of 5 m. (H. Rößmann - quoted from the Upper Bavarian archive / volume 131).

Holy Rinn '

The "Heilige Rinn '" is a spring in a wooded area in the south of the municipality. The water from this spring is said to have special powers since the 19th century when an almost blind lumberjack began to see better again by washing his eyes with this water. The place was restored in 2001/02 and consecrated on August 14, 2006 by the parish priest of Preding.
