history

Historically, Sankt Margareten was settled relatively late, the first planned settlements of the Rosental began after 1200 and were then controlled by the lords of Hollenburg and Viktring .

After ore deposits were discovered in the Karawanken in the 16th century , the area around Sankt Margareten experienced its first economic boom. In addition to ore mining and agriculture, the cooper trade developed as a permanent branch of the economy in the localities of the municipality. In the 1930s there were still around 30 companies, but today there are only two cooper companies that specialize in the production of souvenir articles.

From the parish of St. Margareten with the cadastral communities Gotschuchen and St. Margareten and Niederdörfl, today's local community was formed in 1850. It was born in 1902 in “St. Margarethen im Rosenthale ”, the current spelling has been valid since 1957. The boundaries of the municipality have not changed significantly since the church was founded.

population

According to the 2001 census, the community of St. Margareten im Rosental has 1,133 inhabitants, of which 97.3% are Austrian and 1.2% German citizens. 12% of the population belong to the Carinthian Slovenes .

94.3% of the community population profess to the Roman Catholic Church , 2.3% to the Evangelical Church , and 2.5% without religious belief.

The Catholic parish is bilingual, German and Slovenian.

Typologically, St. Margarethen im Rosental belongs to the Slovenian dialect group of the so-called Rosental dialect or to its eastern variety of the lower Rosental (Spodnji Rož). Numerous phonetic, morphological and lexical archaisms are characteristic.

Culture and sights

Sports

The SV St. Margareten, founded in 1964, maintains the football, ice shooting, ice hockey and tennis sections.

Regular events

  • Fisolenfest / praznik fižola , every year in autumn.

Economy and Infrastructure

Traditionally characterized by agriculture and forestry, the community has developed into a commuter community to Ferlach and Klagenfurt in recent decades due to its peripheral geographical location .

Tourism has developed into a mainstay of the community. A large campsite in the middle of a floodplain is just as much a part of the infrastructural facilities in the municipality as restaurants and room rental companies. In Gotschuchen, several woodworking companies produce gift items, a construction company in Sankt Margareten and a large carpentry shop in Oberdörfl provide additional jobs.

The Rosental Straße (B 85) runs through the municipality .

politics

Municipal council

coat of arms

The official blazon of the municipal coat of arms reads: "Split from gold to red, in front a red upright dragon with head turned to the left and black collar on a torn chain, behind a golden scraper over a golden wooden shawl."

The dragon with chain in the front part of the coat of arms is the attribute of the parish patron saint, St. Margaret of Antioch . The upper part of the back shows a typical working device of the cooper , a scraper (draw knife). The water industry with two handles underneath alludes to the traditional and typical, but almost extinct, craft occupation.

The municipality's coat of arms and flag were awarded on August 29, 1989. The flag is yellow-red with an incorporated coat of arms.
