Deutschlandsberg lies on the western border of the West Styrian Basin (West Styrian Neogen Basin), which is separated from the East Styrian Basin by the Central Styrian Threshold (from the Sausal to the Fürstenstand west of Graz). All parts belong to the west of the Pannonian Basin. The place is on the eastern border of the coral range, on the border of the crystalline rock (gneiss, amphibolite, etc.) to the rocks (gravel, breccia, etc.) from the Neogene (formerly called Tertiary ) that form the Graz Basin. The Koralpenzug is geologically a raised mountain block ( Pultscholle ,) which at its edge on the western border of the city of Deutschlandsberg drops steeply into the Graz Basin and can be traced below the gravel cover up to the border of the Sausal (Florian Basin). The places where the mountain range disappears under the gravel of the Graz Basin can be clearly recognized in nature by the fact that the long and up to 15% steep inclines of the streets from the Koralpe merge into flat stretches of road. South of Groß Sankt Florian is the currently explored deepest point of the Deutschlandsberg underground in a basin deeper than 600 m below sea level (= 900 to 1000  m below today's surface in the Gleinz). This basin is called "St. Florian basin" or "Florian Bay".

There is a small gold deposit in the southwest of Deutschlandsberg.

South-east of Deutschlandsberg Castle, in the former quarry of the farm vlg. “Schwemmhoisl” in Warnblick, the heaviest rock crystal in Styria and the largest titanite crystals in the Alpine region were found at the beginning of the 1970s .

history

Origin of name

The name "Lonsperch" was first mentioned around 1153, this pronunciation variant is still used in everyday language in the 21st century and documents the origin of the name. Today's part of the word Land- in the name of Deutschlandsberg is not traced back to the German word for an area, but to a Slavic expression: The word part is put to lonka ( locative lonce ), reconstructed * loNč'je or * lǫka 'moist meadow'. The same root could be in the name of the river Laßnitz , on which Deutschlandsberg lies (for which other derivations are also possible). This derivation would prove an old Slavic population class and their affiliation to the Principality of Carantania .

When settlements arose under Landsberg Castle , the place got its name from the knight family of Lonspercher , who administered the area for the Archbishop of Salzburg and had their seat at the castle.

Only in the 19th century, the name of the place was the word German prefixed to avoid confusion with the in today's Slovenia situated Windisch-Landsberg (Podčetrtek ; see. Windisch ) should be avoided. A first mention as "Markt Teütschlandsberg" was published for 1778.

The place name "Freidorf" in the former municipality of Freidorf was changed from 1931 to "Hörbing".

From prehistory to the great migration

As early as the Neolithic Age ( Neolithic ), the area was populated. In the ditch of the torrent , two " flint bulbs " made of jasper and other flint tools from prehistoric times were found, which indicate a prehistoric settlement in this area. In the La Tène period , the Celtic tribe of the Uperaks settled in all of western Styria and left clear traces here.

The "dance floor" at Deutschlandsberg Castle contains references to a prehistoric rampart that was used until the Middle Ages.

On the Kraxnerkogel in the Warnblick part of the municipality, about 750 m south of the location of Deutschlandsberg Castle and beyond the deeply cut Laßnitz valley there is also a remnant of a fortification (tower hill). It shows traces of settlement from the Lasinja culture of the Copper Age to the Middle Ages.

middle Ages

In the early Middle Ages, the area around Deutschlandsberg was part of the Slavic principality of Carantania , which soon came under the suzerainty of the Avars . The attempt to free itself from this with the help of the Duchy of Bavaria , however, brought Karantanien more and more under Bavarian suzerainty in the course of the 8th century. With the deposition of the Bavarian Duke Tassilo III. (788) and the incorporation of Bavaria into the Frankish Empire of Charlemagne , the Deutschlandsberg area changed hands again. In the course of the church reorganization of Carantania and the areas that Charlemagne had wrested from the Avars, the area around Deutschlandsberg was added to the Archdiocese of Salzburg in 798 , which from then on stretched from the Chiemsee to the Tisza in Hungary and from the Danube to the Drau .

Deutschlandsberg did not yet exist at that time, the first mention as "Lonsperch" was not made until 1153. Deutschlandsberg first appears as a market in a document from Rudolf von Habsburg from 1280, but it turned out that this document is a forgery. Only in another document from 1322 is Deutschlandsberg referred to as a " forum ", that is to say as a market.

1292 was in the castle Germany mountain of Landsberger Federation as the basis of the revolt of the Styrian nobility against Duke Albrecht I finished.

In Leibenfeld east of the “Fuchswirt” intersection of Radlpass Straße B 76 and Sulmtal Straße B 74, an earthwork is documented that has a distant resemblance to the Pfaffenkrainer forest castle in Pitschgau . It has the shape of an almost completely flattened truncated cone with a maximum diameter of 17 meters. The plateau measures about six by six meters, and there was an irregular square in the ground. In the east ran a north-south running ditch, a wall in the north was faintly visible. Whether the complex was a tower castle (the unprotected location speaks against it, the shape of the remains for it) is open. Your site is not protected as a historical monument, but it is made visible in the geographical information system of the State of Styria as an archaeological site.

Deutschlandsberg Castle was the seat of the Salzburg administration and the center of the Landsberg rulership , which extended to the ridge of the Koralpe . It included large alpine pastures and forest areas, but also farms in Osterwitz , Trahütten , Warnblick, Laufenegg, Vochera , in the Laßnitztal , in the Gleinz and in the Wildbachertal . The Landsberg lordship included around 80 Huben (Low German "Hufe") or farms of often considerable size, as well as almost 20  Keuschler who were subordinate to the Deutschlandsberg land registry .

The construction of a chapel is documented in 1383.

Archaeological settlement structures were found in the Schmiedgasse / Flurgasse area: a wooden building remnant with iron smelting , a lime pit for the production of sump lime and post holes in a hall-like post structure . These finds are dated from the 14th century to the beginning of the 19th century and should be explored more closely in 2019.

The area of ​​the formerly independent community of Wildbach belonged in part to the manorial estate of the Admont Abbey, which stretched from the Blumau to the height of the coral train at the Hebalm in the area of ​​the Hof vlg. Reinischwirt (then called Buchen-Reinisch) extended. Another part of Wildbach was the manor of the Wildenstein family, to which the former Pramerhof in Gersdorf bei Gams also belonged. Wildbach belonged to other manors (e.g. that of the Racknitzer ). It is published that 21 farmers who took part in legal proceedings belonged to 14 different manors.

The jurisdiction of the regional court (D.) Landsberg in the 17th century

The demarcation of the Landsberg rule was often unclear, which repeatedly led to disputes. One of the most protracted disputes of this kind broke out at the beginning of the 14th century between the rule of Schwanberg, which had been awarded to the Lords of Pettau by the diocese of Brixen, and the rule of Deutschlandsberg. This so-called alpine war lasted about two decades and claimed numerous lives on both sides.

Modern times

Frauental Castle around 1820, lith. JF Kaiser

In the 15th and 16th centuries, the then Landsberg was after the quarter division of Styria in 1462 in the "quarter between Mur and Traa" (Drau), the predecessor of the Marburg district . But it was unclear whether the place and its surroundings were part of Styria or an exclave of the Prince Archbishopric of Salzburg . The Vienna Recess in 1535 clarified the situation in favor of Styria. The princely visitation of 1544/45 treated the church “zu Allen Heiligen zu Lansperg” (like the church St. Ulrich) as a branch of St. Florian: the lord and bailiff was the bishop of Lavant . In 1556 Landsberg received its own pastor.

For the higher (blood) jurisdiction , the area of ​​Landsberg (up to the height of the Koralmzug) formed a separate court district: the Landsberg district court . This special position was attributed to the immunity of the area since the 12th century (1178, uncertain) under the rule of the Archdiocese of Salzburg.

In the 16th and 17th centuries, the smaller municipal area had its own keep for the lower jurisdiction , which was attributed to a grant by Emperor Rudolf in 1278 (confirmation by Archbishop Friedrich on January 25, 1445). However, this only applied outside the eaves : within it, the full lower jurisdiction lay with the respective landlord in the 16th century.

In the 18th century the market was badly damaged by fires several times: in 1724 all houses were cremated due to the negligence of partying residents ( called " bacchantes " in the parish description ), after which dance events on the last three days of Carnival were banned until the middle of the 19th century. Further fires followed in 1779 (Stering mill, later Dengg destroyed), 1791 (four houses) and 1797 (six houses destroyed); on March 12, 1798, 52 of the 74 houses in Marktmarkt burned down.

From 1770, when people and houses were recorded for the first time in Austria , houses and people from what was then Landsberg in the areas of Burgegg, Oberlaufenegg, Sulz, Mitteregg and Deutschlandsberg were recorded independently. This registration took place within the framework of the army reforms under Maria Theresa and Joseph II and led to the introduction of the " numbering sections " (conscription communities). The areas mentioned were such sections. From these sections the “ tax communities ” developed under Joseph II , and subsequently the cadastral communities of the Franziszeische cadastre .

The numbering sections have been grouped into advertising districts. Deutschlandsberg was such an advertising district in which, in addition to the areas mentioned, the numbering sections of the parishes of Osterwitz (Osterwitz, Trahütten and Warnblick) and Freiland (Kloster, Rettenbach and Mitterspiel = Freiland) were combined. After 1826, the Feilhofen and Frauenthal advertising districts also became part of the Landsberg advertising district. The advertising district comprised 2,385 people (souls) and eleven numbering sections in 1770, 2,428 people in 1782, 2,053 (according to another source 1992) people in 1812 and ten cadastral communities with 2,306 people in 1846. Unterlaufegg initially belonged to the Feilhofen advertising district. Neighboring advertising districts (WB) of what was then Landsberg were WB Ligist, Lankowitz, Wildbach, Feilhofen, Frauenthal, Hollenegg and Schwanberg.

From 1748, Deutschlandsberg and its surroundings were in the then newly established Marburg district of the Duchy of Styria, previously the area was in the district between Mur and Drau. The district boundary was moved south twice, but ran north of Deutschlandsberg until 1849.

The opening of the first brewery in Deutschlandsberg by Martin Offner is documented in 1777. However, the first information about a brewery dates back to 1322, where in a land register of a brewery mill (today's Preinmühle in Laufenegg), Peter Paul Offner is named there as a brewer around 1750. Other breweries were run by the Offner and Frizberg families, the last brewery by the Götz family. This brewery closed around 1900. From 1911 to the 1980s there was a beer depot of the Reininghaus brewery in Deutschlandsberg , beer was no longer brewed there.

The border between the Marburg district (yellow) and the Graz district (red-brown) was moved south several times between 1748 and 1850.

When the state administration was reorganized in 1849, Deutschlandsberg and its judicial district were assigned to the Stainz district administration. This is attributed to the influence of Archduke Johann . The district administration of Deutschlandsberg (for the judicial districts of Eibiswald, Deutschlandsberg and Stainz) was only founded in 1868. It began its work on August 31, 1868.

The tracks of the Graz-Köflacher-Bahn describe a semicircle around the city. This is due to the fact that the mayor of the market at Deutschlandsberg at the time, Franz Pichler, was very committed to ensuring that the city received a train station and was not bypassed. The community provided one and a half yoke ground at half price for the railway line, a corresponding vote in the population resulted in 114 votes in favor and only 10 votes against. The Franz-Pichler-Weg was named in memory of Franz Pichler.

20th century

On October 19, 1918, Emperor Karl I elevated the previous market town of Deutschlandsberg to a town.

On August 1, 1907, a public swimming pool, the "Hietlbad", was opened in Glashüttenstrasse. His name can be traced back to the name of his longtime lifeguard Lorenz Hüttl, who carried out this task from 1907 to 1952. The pool drew its water from the Laßnitz, which, however, was heavily polluted in its vicinity by the sewage from the Deutschlandsberg paper mill (in Galthof and its surroundings). However, thanks to the courtesy of the factory owner Ernst Rathausky, clean water was taken above the weir in the hermitage and led to the bath through pipes below the district road. Bathing hours were from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. and from 3 a.m. to 5 p.m. for women, the rest of the time for men. As late as 1917, the lifeguard was instructed “to insist with the utmost severity that the stipulated bathing hours be adhered to and to prevent the sexes from bathing together during the hours stipulated for women under personal responsibility”.

Around 1922 it was planned to build a hydropower plant in the Burgegg district at the end of the Klause. A 30-meter-high dam wall was to dam the Laßnitz to about two kilometers. After 30 years, the property would have become the property of the municipality. However, there were concerns about the profitability of the plant and the community decided to obtain electricity from another source: The Steweag , which was then starting the construction of the Arnstein an der Teigitsch hydropower station (opened in 1925).

In the interwar period, the municipality was one of the “crystallization centers” of the NSDAP, which was emerging as a result of the global economic crisis in Austria . Since the municipal council elections in 1932 , this party was also represented with a mandate in the municipal council. Compared with the National Council elections in 1930 , the NSDAP's share of the vote in the city had more than tripled. The formerly influential Deutschlandsberg local group of Greater Germans was the only one in Styria for the elections of 1932, and not, as is usual in all other polling places, in coalition with other campaigning groups. Despite all efforts to delimit and preserve their political independence, the Greater Germans, but above all the urban associations that were close to them, were increasingly drawn into the pull of the aspiring National Socialists in the period that followed.

During the National Socialist July coup in 1934, the city and its surroundings were almost completely ruled by the National Socialists, who surrounded the gendarmerie barracks, the district authority and other public buildings. A total of four people died during an attempt to relieve the gendarmerie post by a home guard unit : three home guard men and one member of the SA . Several leaders of the Deutschlandsberg putschists served longer sentences after the coup was suppressed. A total of 46 people were arrested in the area of ​​the Deutschlandsberg gendarmerie post for taking part in the July coup, and 36 others had fled as a result.

The Anschluss in 1938 was also celebrated enthusiastically in Deutschlandsberg. Parades, speeches and celebrations determined the following months in Deutschlandsberg and were intended to make the residents aware of the " Volksgemeinschaft " propagated by the National Socialists . In view of the importance that the city had already had for the Nazi movement during the " fighting time ", the Deutschlandsberg National Socialists tried successfully to relocate the headquarters of the district leadership of the NSDAP of the Deutschlandsberg district from Stainz to Deutschlandsberg after they joined the district leadership free of charge Had made official residence available. Deutschlandsberg remained the seat of the district administration until the end of the war. Hugo Suette (1903-1949), known for his brutality, became district leader . He fled on May 7, 1945, shortly before the end of the Second World War, and died in Erlangen in 1949 . His involvement in the murder of five partisans on April 1, 1945 was dealt with in the Graz partisan murder trial; he himself could not be prosecuted for these and other acts that were illegal under the circumstances of the time.

At the end of the war only minor fighting took place, a Russian armored car was shot at and a German motorcycle battery was captured. Fleeing troops of the 118th German Jägerdivision and the Hungarian division "Szent Laszlo", which moved from May 6 to 12, 1945 before being captured by the Red Army over the Weinebene and the Hebalm towards Carinthia to surrender to the British , were followed. This led to the accident of a Russian T 34 tank in which its commander was killed.

At the end of the war, Deutschlandsberg was occupied for a few days by members of the Yugoslav partisans and the Austrian Freedom Front, then on May 10, 1945 by the Red Army . Bulgarian troops were also in Deutschlandsberg during this first phase of occupation; they were withdrawn again in the fourth week of May 1945. Several people were arrested and locked in a garage on the Solo factory site. They were later shot and buried in what was then the communal orchard (Raiffeisenstrasse area, former Steweag site). They were members of the Vlasov Army , Eastern workers , but also local civilians. Their graves were not discovered until 1952.

The occupiers from Yugoslavia withdrew on June 30, 1945, those from Russia also at this time. Until 1955 the area was occupied by the British Army , which came from Carinthia via the Hebalm and the Weinebene and first met with Soviet troops around May 13, 1945 between the towns of St. Oswald and Freiland.

The Kortschak company operated bus routes via Trahütten to Glashütten and via Freiland to St. Oswald in Freiland until 1954, as well as a funeral home and a wagon business. In 1931 a ten-seat Tatra mountain car was purchased for this purpose , and from 1949 a chassis of a Pontiac army vehicle that had been converted into a bus was used: this vehicle became the Koralpenexpress . The company's history is documented in an extensive private archive. The bus routes were handed over to the Graz-Köflacher-Bahn bus service in 1954.

Storage building of SOLO Deutschlandsberg

The community of Bösenbach , which emerged in 1850 from the cadastral communities of Bösenbach and Unterlaufenegg, was merged with Deutschlandsberg on January 1, 1941.

The former municipality of Wildbach was merged with the municipality of Deutschlandsberg on January 1, 1970.

The community Sulz-Laufenegg came to Deutschlandsberg on January 1st, 1974, its original name Sulz was changed to "Sulz-Laufenegg" on June 1st, 1951.

The Liechtenstein Princely Family , which for a long time owned large areas of today's city, also plays an important role in the city's history . The Liechtenstein sawmill in Deutschlandsberg is still owned by a descendant of the royal family.

SOLO match factory in the 19th and 20th centuries

Time table of the SOLO Deutschlandsberg

From 1856 to 1982 there was a large match making factory in the northeast of the town center . This plant was founded by Florian Pojatzi (1830–1917), a native of Deutschlandsberger. Other partners were Carl Franz (1837-1911) and Franz Cerweny (1848-1921). In 1892 the company, which also included the Stallhof match factory near Stainz, had 700 employees.

In 1903 the factory was merged with other important match factories of the Austro-Hungarian Empire to form “Solo Zündwaren- und Wichsefabriken AG” , and in 1907 a 45 meter high chimney was built. The plant and its owners were the origin of a number of other companies and social institutions, such as the paper mills in Burgegg and Hörbing, workers 'and civil servants' houses, as well as a spring protection area and the first hospital in Deutschlandsberg.

In September 1921, 500 workers were employed making 440,000 boxes of matches. In November 1950, the plant had 700 workers producing over 1.2 million boxes. In 1976 it was taken over by a Swedish match group, which closed the company on March 31, 1982. The factory site was taken over by the municipality of Deutschlandsberg, the industrial facilities were removed except for a few remains and the area was rebuilt. The goods store in Frauentalerstraße is still preserved from the former industrial plant, which also included a large wood store and its own narrow-gauge factory railway.

21st century

On March 10, 2009, at 2:15 p.m., a helicopter belonging to the Ministry of the Interior crashed in the center of Deutschlandsberg on the banks of the Laßnitz after it had streaked a house. The pilot died in the hospital on the same day, a police officer who was also flown a week later, and another inmate survived seriously injured. No passers-by were killed or injured, although a well-attended Kirtag was taking place on the main square.

Marian column

In the middle part of the main square there is a gilded statue of the Virgin Mary on a column. This "Marian column" was consecrated in the summer of 1714, it replaced an older statue of the Virgin Mary ("Frauensäule"), about which no details are known. The plague epidemic of 1680, the great fires of 1680, 1688 and 1691 as well as the strains of the Turkish wars are assumed to be the reason for the foundation of a Marian column . In 1799, 1883, 1935 and 1975 the column was renovated, in 1903 the damaged foundation was renewed and the column was moved five meters to the west to make room for a green area. The inscription “In afflictionibus nobis subveni” on the base means “in our afflictions come to our aid”. Above this text is the sentence “Ecce Mediatrix nostra”, which means “see our mediator (of grace )”. The year 1712 in this sentence indicates the year in which the construction of the column was decided.

Marian column on the main square

Together with the Marian column, the statue of Joseph on the lower market and the statue of Nepomuk near the town hall were also purchased.

Museums

The Archeo Norico Museum is located in Deutschlandsberg Castle and extends over 600 m² on six floors. It includes an exhibition on prehistory and early history, a show about the myth of the Celts, an exhibition of weapons, a torture chamber, an exhibition of antique gold, silver and bronze jewelry and changing special exhibitions.

music

Deutschlandsberg offers a very lively musical cultural life. The first twelve-member "Musikbanda" had already been set up in 1848, from which the band of the city of Deutschlandsberg developed. As an independent event, the Deutschlandsberg youth music festival, which was founded by the composer Hans Werner Henze , was an integral part of the Styrian Autumn avant-garde festival from 1984 to 2003 . The archive of the youth music festival was handed over to the Austrian National Library in 2013 and recorded in a documentary volume.

Internationally known pianists perform as part of the Deutschlandsberg Piano Spring, such as Paul Badura-Skoda , Elisabeth Leonskaja , Oleg Maisenberg , Leonid Brumberg and Svjatoslav Richter in the past . Regular performances by other artists such as the Altenberg Trio complement the city's concert calendar. Solo singing has its home through the international summer course for opera singing "Vittorio Terranova" and the international singing competition " Ferruccio Tagliavini ".

Resident associations enrich musical life such as the widely known Stadtkapelle Deutschlandsberg, the Gesangsverein Deutschlandsberg and the Schilcherlandchor. The local music school is the active center of musical education. The bands that have established themselves here are, for example, the “Lonsperch Roffler”, but you can also find young talents such as the groups “Denny's Drive In”, “Kismet”, “AudioFlow” or “Di Baend”, who work in Irish punk, rock and Pop area operate.

theatre

The area of ​​performing games is covered by the Deutschlandsberg Theater Center. In doing so, the Deutschlandsberg theater center relies primarily on young people, who are incorporated into the actual theater operations at an early stage.

The first theater performances are documented for 1858 by the “Markttheater Deutschlandsberg”, which appeared in various restaurants. The construction of a separate theater building was considered in the years around 1874/75, but it did not materialize. In 1885 guests from the then Grazer Landestheater performed in Deutschlandsberg .

Events

Every year the “Schilcherberg in Flames” festival takes place in the town on the Schilcher Mountains around the castle. In the last few years it has turned into a major tourist attraction. The rediscovered festival draws on old traditions. Originally the festival was also called Jacobifest.

In addition to the demonstrations around the castle, the highlights of this festival also include the large pyrotechnic show that attracts people from all over Styria - and even tourists from abroad - every year.

Nature reserves in the hermitage

The Klause is a protected romantic rock valley in the west of Deutschlandsberg, through which the Laßnitz flows. This gorge is cut into gneiss and mica schist, its steep slopes are interspersed with rocky places. Their climate is humid, has little sun and relatively small temperature differences. The forestation belongs to the lower beech forest level .

The hermitage is accessed by a footpath that leads past a (never inhabited) hermitage to the Deutschlandsberg Castle towering over the valley. After 1811 the hermitage was equipped with paths and (“as a romantic attribute”) the hermitage buildings by the owner at the time, Moritz von Fries . The facility was retained by the later owners from the Liechtenstein family. In the years after 1938 it fell into disrepair and was reopened in 1948, restored. The hermitage was destroyed by a rock fall in December 2012 and renovated on August 23, 2013.

The Deutschlandsberger Klause is a nature reserve (NSG-c19): The reserve extends over a length of around 1200 meters with an area of ​​around 27 hectares and an average altitude of 400 to 500 meters on both sides of the Laßnitz. It serves to protect its plant community (beech forest, herbs, ferns, mosses).

The Deutschlandsberger Klause is also a NATURA 2000 protected area (European protected area ). Protected goods are the habitats of the plants growing there. The more detailed description reads:
“The gorge stretch, located in the Styrian foothills, is criss-crossed by landslide heaps made of coarse, blocky material. The stretch of the river Lassnitzbach offers a varied picture with pools, island formations and large boulders. Small forest streams, trickle meadows and seepage points occur on the steep slopes. "

In the past, parts of the hermitage were also used by the timber industry. The Deutschlandsberg forest railway , with which the wood from the Laßnitz valley was transported, did not run through the hermitage, but left the Laßnitz valley through a tunnel to the east on the northern border of the hermitage.

Site design

As part of the European “ Entente Florale Europe ” competition, the city was awarded a silver medal in the city category in 2009.

The World Cycling Week was held in Deutschlandsberg for the 25th time in 2012, but then stopped due to the lack of further subsidies.

The local soccer club is Deutschlandsberger SC , whose youth included Gernot Fraydl , who guarded the national team's goal 27 times in the 1960s.

GKB operates these routes with diesel-electric trains (Stadler-GTW 2/8), which make it possible to offer a connection between Deutschlandsberg and Graz with travel times of 40 minutes via the first section of the Koralm railway. The connection of the Deutschlandsberg region to the high-level railway network is to be improved with the Koralm Railway and the West Styria IC train station to be built.
