The Rosenkogel (also Spitzkogel ) is 1362 m above sea level. A. high mountain in Styria . He is symbolically represented in the coat of arms of the former municipality of Marhof by means of two silver roses . The names Rosenkogel or Spitzkogel are derived on the one hand from a species of alpine rose that is common in the area and on the other hand from the shape of the mountain peak.
The word “ Kogel ” can be traced back to the rounded summit area (outside the actual summit, the “Spitz”) . A round summit structure is referred to in geomorphology as a dome , the name can be combined with Kuppe / Koppe (probably from Latin cuppa “mug”), or Kogel / Kofel (cf. “Kugel”), Kopf / Köpfel , Nock , Gupf or Kulm ( Latin culmen , "high point").
geography
The Rosenkogel is located at the eastern end of one of the foothills of the coral train . In the north lies the valley of the Stainzbach , in the east that of the Vochera and Gamsbach. In the south lies the valley of the torrent . In the west, the ridge of the Koralpen foothills runs over a saddle on which the Abetzwirt and the Mothil-Tor are located to the Reinischkogel.
The next higher peak is the Reinischkogel in the west. The notch height of the Rosenkogel is 122 meters, its dominance 3134 meters.
The north of the Rosenkogel lies in the former municipality of Marhof (since 2015: Stainz ), its east, south and west in the former municipality of Bad Gams (since 2015: Deutschlandsberg ).
Settlements on the Rosenkogel are in the north Rachling, in the south and west Sallegg, these settlements are scattered settlements . The next larger towns are Stainz in the northeast and Bad Gams in the southeast.
The slopes of the Rosenkogel are opened up from east to south to west by the state road LH 645 Sallegger Straße from Bad Gams and Stainz from the direction of Klosterwinkel and St. Oswald in Freiland . An access road leads to the Absetzwirt, which is located in a saddle approx. 800 meters west of the Rosenkogel summit. From there a hiking trail leads to the summit. In the north there are a number of local roads in the municipality of Stainz. Due to the geological situation, the access roads from the east are very steep and winding.
At the summit of the Rosenkogel there is a small chapel and a summit cross.
The Rosenkogel is located in a nature reserve.
geology
The Rosenkogel consists of rocks that have been redesigned several times in the course of the mountain formation (metamorphic rocks). The rock group is called Koralpen or Koralm crystalline.
The summit of the Rosenkogel consists partly of the hardest and densest rock on the earth's surface, eclogite . This rock is over half a billion years old. It was first discovered and named by the French geologist and mineralogist René-Just Haüy in the 18th century on one of his scientific trips to southern western Styria. Because of its special origin and other properties, it is not an everyday rock.
The Rosenkogel has one of the three peaks made of this rock in the Koralpe ridge (next to the Schwarzkogel to the southwest and the Pöschelkogel south of the Schwarzkogel).
The boundary between the eclogite summit area and the other rocks can be recognized in nature in several places by a clear change in the slope (downward slope). The summit shape, which consists of eclogite and is relatively pointed compared to the other terrain forms of the ridge, gave rise to the second name of the Rosenkogel, Spitzkogel. Eclogite is harder than other rocks. Hard rock slopes have a greater incline than slopes made of softer rock.
Like the entire Koralpe, the ridge has been thoroughly geologically investigated because these mountains influenced the current appearance of the Alps at their eastern end.
The slopes of the Rosenkogel drop steeply in the east into the Graz Basin. This is due to the geological structure of the Koralpe: The Koralpe is a raised part of the mountain, a so-called Pultscholle , which steeply merges at its edges into the surrounding area. The steepness of the slopes leads to landslides through which mineral discovery sites are opened up.
history
The name "Absetzwirt" west of the Rosenkogel is evidence of an old traffic connection: The name refers to the "setting down" (unloading) of (load) loads. The Abetzwirt was a place where load transports took a break or where loads were transferred from one means of transport to another. This is because not all carters were allowed to leave the area of their manorial rule and therefore transports to borders had to be handed over to other transporters. Until the 19th century, the border between the Marburg and Grazer districts ran across the Rosenkogel .
In 1225 a road from Gams is mentioned, which went via the Greim area (and thus further over the slope of the Rosenkogel - whether north or south, is unoccupied) to the Hebalm - the "Greimstrasse".
