The listed Velden Castle ( list entry ) and Pichlhof Castle are also part of the cadastral community.

history

Slavic House and place names in and around Sankt Veit in the area have a wave of settlement in the Slavs time out (from the 6th century). The district of Pörtschach even has a purely Slavic name. Saint Veit itself is named after a church patron , so it must have been called different before the church was built. For example, the name Oberdorf could be used; this would appear logical in connection with Niederdorf (between Pörtschach and St. Veit). But a forgotten Slavic name cannot be ruled out either. The place name after St. Vitus , which was often chosen in places with Slavic settlements, has been documented as "ze Sand Veit" since 1316. We also find this form in documents from 1379 and 1395.

The current form of the name appears for the first time in a document from 1395, in which a farmhouse hat is described as "pey sand Veyt in the opposite direction". In the 15th century there were still forms like “little Sand Veit” (to distinguish it from St. Veit an der Glan ), or “little Sant Veit at Neumarkt”. The current name has mainly been used since the 16th century.

Every now and then “St. Veit bei Altenhaus ”. The place is not a farming village, but rather a Kirchweiler or Gutsweiler . Due to the type of settlement, it is certain that there was initially a single large estate with a church. This can only have been in the possession of a nobleman. Until 12./13. In the 19th century, the landlords were allowed to build churches and chapels on their property. As mentioned, Sankt Veit in the area was already settled in the Slav period and in the 10th or 11th century there was a manor with a church. The first written record about Sankt Veit can be traced back to December 21, 1316 by Pastor Hainreich.

In 1379 the residents of Sankt Veit are first mentioned: on April 24th, Simon and Hans and their siblings certified that an abbot from Sankt Lambrecht had given them a Hube am Plaxen (today Plaxner) for purchasing rights. Thus they are the first Pfeiter known to us by name, who were probably at home at the Leitamoarhof . We also know about the shoemaker Sigmund, who was awarded two farmsteads for sale by the knight Hans Gradenegger. This is the first time we learn about a landlord who was a nobleman. These two farms (Voglgut and Taferngut) were later u. a. to the St. Lambrecht monastery, but also to Dürnstein and thus to the diocese of Gurk . Up to the late Middle Ages, six farms can be identified, which is the oldest still tangible village complex.

local community

From 1850 to 1964, Sankt Veit was an independent municipality in the area . On January 1, 1965, it was attached to the municipality of Mühlen . The last mayor of Sankt Veit in the area was Josef Fritz.

Economy and Infrastructure

The majority of the local businesses can be assigned to the primary sector . In terms of industry , a supraregional sawmill and a wood processing company on the steep southern slopes of the Alpl should be mentioned. These companies are designed primarily for production for the national area, but export efforts to the EU area are also discernible. The tertiary sector is relatively thin, in this economic sector only one local veterinarian would have to be named.

Like many other villages in rural areas, Sankt Veit in the area has to struggle with rural exodus and commuting . This is mainly due to the lack of jobs outside of agriculture . The village has its own primary school , which was about to be closed as part of educational reforms due to a lack of students . This cut into the infrastructure could be prevented by lobbying committed Sankt Veiter politicians.
