history

Tieschen was first mentioned in a document in 1406 in the tithe book of the diocese of Seckau. This written certificate is identical to the current writing. The name goes back to the Slavic personal name Tĕšina or similar. Since the end of the 15th century, the parish Fehring was landlord in "Türschen". The abolition of the manorial lords took place in 1848. The local community Tieschen was established as an autonomous body in 1850. After the annexation of Austria in 1938, the community came to Reichsgau Styria, from 1945 to 1955 it was part of the British zone of occupation in Austria.

Foundation of the large community of Tieschen

The large community of Tieschen was founded on January 1st, 1951. By ordinance of the Styrian state government of December 27, 1950, the previously independent municipalities were made

• Großering (under Mayor Franz Benedikt),
• Jörgen (under Mayor Richard Edelsbrunner),
• Laasen (under Mayor Ignaz Maier),
• Patzen (under Mayor Richard Stradner) and
• Pichla near Radkersburg (under Mayor Franz Puff) with the community
• Tieschen (under Mayor Edwin Kolleritsch) united to form Tieschen.

After the merger took place, the district captain of Radkersburg Max Schistl was first appointed as government commissioner . It was not until December 7, 1951 that Franz Puff was elected the first mayor of the new municipality. According to the census of June 1, 1951, the population was 1,541 residents in 345 houses. The municipal area was 18.08 square kilometers.

Ramparts on the Königsberg

In the area of ​​the volcanic massif near Klöch north of Radkersburg, the highest point is the 459 m high Königsberg in the municipality of Tieschen. It dominates the Steintal and was fortified with a rampart early on because of its steep flanks. When Chunigesberg was first mentioned in 1406, the remains of the complex have been known since 1822. From 1840 excavations took place, which were continued in 1886 and 1897, the results of which have however been lost. In 1899, in a recording by the Joanneum in Graz, the complex was referred to as the “sunken city on the Königsberg” and considered a Celtic-Roman fortress. From 1924 to 1962 the excavations were followed up by local homeland researchers. Most of the finds can no longer be found, there have also been robbery excavations and private probe users . The first excavations by the Joanneum were carried out in 1928, floor plans of houses were uncovered both in the process and in 1934. The reports on the finds are imprecise and imaginative, so there are reports of "Sanctuaries of the Eastern Norse culture with sacrificial pits".

During the fighting of the Second World War , Wehrmacht troops occupied the ramparts and defended them against the Red Army . The search for those killed in war also brought to light other archaeological objects. These finds of remains of dry stone walls , building foundation walls and individual objects prove that the ramparts were densely populated.

Settlement can be chronological from the 4th millennium BC. Be accepted. After a settlement interruption in the Bronze Age, there are again finds from the Urnfield culture , the entire Hallstatt and Latène Ages . An area of ​​around 10 hectares was settled and solidly fortified, the remnants of which are ramparts and moats on the east and south sides, as well as a gate system with a rampart. At the highest point of the mountain on the northeast corner is the core piece, which was specially enclosed with a dry stone wall. Ceramics and stone utensils belonging to the Lasinja culture , a gold coin found in 1901, several small finds and a coin of Constantius II have been recovered. The classification of the finds confirms the heyday of the settlement in the Urnfield period, a decline during the Latène period and a continuation assumed from the old records in the provincial Roman period. The ramparts were used as a place of refuge several times during the Turkish and Kuruzar Wars.
