history
The discovery of a stone ax in the Tober reveals an early settlement in the Passail area on 3000 BC. Begin.
A Roman manor southwest of today's Passail market is believed to have existed in Roman times and five Roman stones are known for this area. One is walled in on the south side of the rectory.
After the Romans , Slavs settled in the Passail area . Passail is supposed to be derived from the Slavic basic word “Se (d) lo” with the preposition “Po” and means something like “near, next to, behind the settlement”, since the Slavic settlers already found a Roman court.
Different spellings of Passail were: Pozile, Pozeil, Puzeil, Possel, Poseyle, Posel, Bosaeil, Posewl, Puseyl, Passayl (13th to 16th century). The Slavic settlement is also reflected in the patronage of the parish church dedicated to St. Vitus , the patron saint of the Slavs. In Styria, such St. Vitus churches show a strong Slavic naming, so also in Liezen , Leoben , Veitsch , Paldau , Söchau or Pöllau .
Tober, on the other hand, was first called “Dobre” in 1240 and translated from Slavic means: “Gutwasser” as the river name and “fertile region” as the place name.
Finally, in the 12th century, Bavarian settlement began in the Passail area, from which the German names Hart (for wooded area) and Unter-Pircha (based on the birch trees) can be derived. Ultimately, the Stubenbergs inherited most of the Passailer kettle , which around 1200 sent peasant settlers and knightly clearing leaders here. Planned villages were created, first regular village settlements, then elongated forest hoof settlements and finally also remote individual farms. The later market town of Passail already played a central role because of the favorable settlement area.
The place Passail was first mentioned in a document on August 30, 1230. In a Stubenberg deed of donation, “Herbort von Pozile”, the steward and deputy of the Stubenberger in the Passail market, was named as a witness.
Passail Castle , which was the seat of the Lords of Passail, was located near today's Passail House . The market itself, around a rectangular square with small houses and properties, around 25 to 30 farmsteads, was founded between 1220 and 1240. The 120 m long and 40 m wide market square was one of the largest squares in Styrian markets and was not crossed by any cross streets along its entire length. Commercial life developed in the courtyards that surrounded the square. But the first documentary mention as "Markt Passail" was only in 1328.
In addition to the secular possessions, the diocese of Seckau , with the parish of Passail, had some possessions in Passail that were donated by Stubenbergers or their knightly people. In addition, other dominions had also acquired possessions:
- Stubenberg partial rule (Stubegg, Ober- and Unterkapfenberg)
- Non-Stubenberg gentlemen ( Freiberg , Stadl, Gösting )
- Ecclesiastical manors (parish Passail, parish Sankt Lorenzen im Mürzal , Bischofshof Seckau , monastery Rein )
In 1420 the market was divided. Ulrich von Stubenberg at Stubegg Castle near Arzberg got the western part of the market (today's Obergasse, Hauptplatz, Friedhofsweg) and Friedrich von Stubenberg got the eastern part on the newly built Sacher / Hechtlturm residence (former municipality of Hohenau an der Raab ).
In modern times, the properties became more fragmented, as Passail market citizens became owners. In 1328 there were 38 citizens in Passail, in 1527 there were already 70 town houses. In the 16th century there was a loss of population, which led to property concentrations (a citizen had several farms). The resurgence of the population is marked by the construction of the Annenkapelle on the Lindenberg, which was built in 1510 as thanks for the danger of the plague.
After the citizens had used up all natural reserves in the Passail area, the remote, manorial Wulkersbachwald in Bärental on the upper Raab (in the former municipality of Hohenau) was purchased in 1648 . In 1731/32 the Hundsberg was bought by the Stubegg lordship in order to obtain enough basic reserves for management. Until 1800 the market was only expanded by a few houses, in the 19th century the settlement area in the Lindenberg-Büchläcker area finally began. After 1945 the somewhat more distant Josefin settlement was built.
Since 1849 Passail, like every other political municipality, had its own mayor and an elected municipal council and also had its own market rights, i.e. the right to hold markets. In the 19th century there were always five annual markets ("Kirtage"), on Mathias Day (February 24), Maundy Thursday, St. Vitus's Day (June 15), St. Michael’s Day (September 29) and St. Thomas (December 21). From 1328 to 1848 there was also a market court in Passail.
The abolition of the manorial lords took place in 1848. The local community as an autonomous body was established in 1850. After the annexation of Austria in 1938, the community came to the Reichsgau Steiermark, 1945 to 1955 it was part of the British zone of occupation in Austria .

coat of arms
- Coats of arms of the previous municipalities
Arzberg
Hohenau an der Raab
Neudorf near Passail
The coat of arms was awarded on December 15, 1639 by Emperor Ferdinand III.
The coat of arms description read:
- "Ainen Blaw, or glaze paints Schildt, in the bottom of which a white river, in between two high-rising rugged stone cliffs on the Schildts Rants sides, a particularly well-trained deer, of its natural color, with two open threads, each above with two identical, and next to down three Zinckhen, between the threads a white or silver-colored anchors placed upright, the ring turning around, through the same ain yellow, or gold-colored braids against which Linckhen makes appear more pervaded. "
Due to the amalgamation of municipalities, the coat of arms lost its official validity. The former communities of Arzberg , Hohenau an der Raab and Neudorf bei Passail had their own coat of arms until the end of 2014, for all descriptions see Wikipedia Commons .
The reassignment of the municipal coat of arms for the merged municipality Passail took place with effect from June 30, 2016.
The blazon reads:
- "Standing in a blue shield on a silver-flooded shield foot between silver shield flanks made of rugged, upwardly tapering rock walls is a golden stag, whose ten-pointed antlers enclose a silver fallen anchor with a golden braid pulled through the ring."
