St. Donat is a village in the municipality of Sankt Veit an der Glan in the Austrian state of Carinthia with 393 inhabitants (as of January 1, 2020). Until the incorporation in 1958, the village was the capital of the municipality of Sankt Donat .

Geographical location

The village is in the area of ​​the cadastral municipality of Sankt Donat , on the northern edge of the Zollfeld , four kilometers south of the town of St. Veit , on Zollfeld Straße L71. In the village, the Krappfeld Straße L83 branches off to Launsdorf and Hochosterwitz Castle .

Origin of the place name

Saint Donatus on the high altar in the parish church

The place is named after the patron saint of the parish church , Saint Donat (Latin: Sanctus Donatus). He can also be found in the parish church as the central high altar figure in the form of the Roman soldier Donatus , who was later canonized and clearly holds the lightning bolt in his right hand as a distinguishing mark.

history

In antiquity there was a Roman vicus with a temple area in the area of ​​St. Donat and St. Michael am Zollfeld .

Lying in the tax municipality of Sankt Donat, the place belonged to the tax district Osterwitz in the first half of the 19th century . When the local congregations were formed in the course of the reforms after the revolution of 1848/49, St. Donat came to the community of St. Georgen am Längsee , and in 1895 to the then newly founded community of Sankt Donat . In 1958 the place came to the municipality of Sankt Veit an der Glan. In December 1959, the St. Donat gendarmerie was closed.

Buildings

"Giantess of St. Donat" on the outer wall of the Church of St. Donat
  • Parish Church of St. Donat : The place is known for its church, originally built in the Romanesque style, with pre-Celtic, Celtic and Roman relief stones with depictions of people and sculptures in the outer walls. The headless larger than life statue also walled in here, the "giantess of St. Donat", is a male figure from a Roman tomb. The head, which used to be walled in as a replacement for the lost original and is now walled in elsewhere, comes from the Middle Ages.
  • The Schletterhof is a two-story mansion that was built in the 17th century over an older core.
  • FunderMax Plant 3 by Coop Himmelblau , 1989, is an example of innovative industrial architecture. The system consists of two components - an energy center and a production hall. The energy center has a floor plan of 14 × 31 m and a height of 8 m with three chimneys, each 25 m high. The production hall measures 42 × 175 m with a height of 10.50 m. These two parts are connected by a media bridge (46 m long / 2.50 m wide). The hall has four small canopies and a large awning roof. The energy center also has a cascade (13 m high) and the three above-mentioned chimneys, which are called "dancing chimneys". Another spatial encroachment is the "exploding corner" in which the presentation and reception room is located. Construction: Hall: steel. Walls: curtain-type reinforced concrete prefabricated parts, above flush sheet metal panels. Exposure through sheds on the north long side.

society

In March 1924 the founding meeting of the St. Donat Volunteer Fire Brigade took place. Just four years later, the community council decided to build a community hall next to the church. An extension was used by the volunteer fire brigade as a depot. In August 1928 the building was handed over to its destination. In 1949 a decisive step in the direction of mobility was taken with the purchase of a motor vehicle that was converted for use. In 1974 the volunteer fire brigade received a Unimog vehicle. On the night of January 10th to 11th, 1961, an arsonist set three farm buildings on fire. This mission was probably the greatest challenge in the history of the St. Donat volunteer fire brigade. The person who caused the fire was caught that same night. In 1990 the Florianijünger had to pass another test. After an explosion in the Funderwerk in Glandorf (Carinthia), a poison gas alarm was announced over the radio. The fire brigade was on duty for hours with heavy breathing protection. In April 1995 the Funder drying plant caught fire. The St. Donat volunteer fire brigade was on duty for 18 hours. With the expansion of the industrial and commercial park, the St. Donat volunteer fire brigade got more and more deployments and gained in importance. The S37 also represents a further operational challenge. In 2017 Untermühlbach was hit by a flood of the Ziegelbach after a storm , and the St. Donat fire brigade was on duty for 2 days.

  • St. Donat singing group
  • St. Donat theater group, theater performances and readings
  • Traditional costume chapel St. Donat / Glandorf (Carinthia)
