Excerpt from a Franciscan cadastral plan of the Spittalmühle (historical)

The cadastral community Spittalmühle

This small tax community at the gates of Klagenfurt got its name from the Spittalmühle property on Glanbrücke St. Veiter Straße, a water-powered facility with six aisles. On the right bank of the river, between Mageregg and the mill of Welzenegg Castle, there were a number of such grinders. Since the slope of the Glan was somewhat greater in this area, water power was used, while it was hardly possible upstream due to the low flow velocity. The water flow was around 20 cubic meters per second, of which the Feuerbach received around ten cubic meters per minute. When it was very cold, less water came into the city, and when it was extremely cold it could happen that the brook dried up completely. His bed was only three feet wide and five feet deep. In addition to the Spitalmühle, there was the Chaste Jesuit Mill with the house number Kalvarienberg 10 upstream . It was owned by Franz Puntschart in the 1820s. The Mantsche estate and mill was even further north. The KG used the following place names: Spitalmühle, Wiesenäcker, Glanäcker, Jesuitenmühle, bei Goldscheider, bei Wispelhof and St. Veiter. Suburb. The area was characterized by its level location, small house gardens shaped the image of the properties. The rights of the manorial lords were exercised by the magistrate, building pay office, land board, Gut Zigguln, and Stadtpfarrhof St. Egid. The landowners were subject to the magistrate for tax purposes. The children attended the schools in the city (normal, secondary and model schools).

Orphanage barracks and fine cloth factory

In the far west was the orphanage barracks, the property of the aristocratic white lead manufacturer Herbert extended to Feldkirchner Strasse. On the right side of the street, the imperial army had its supply depot with its many ovens.

Economic and military history was written in this area. The troop hospital was no longer within the boundaries of the KG, but together with the orphanage barracks it formed the field of activity of the fine cloth manufacturer Johann von Thys , who was also a progressive farmer. Born in the Netherlands in 1715, he was in his mid-forties when he heard that there was financial support for industrial start-ups in Austria . The Habsburg envoy got in touch with Vienna and Thys then traveled to the imperial city on the Danube at the invitation of Empress Maria Theresa . There he agreed to found the first Kk fine cloth factory Thys . He not only wanted to supply the domestic market with his cloth, but also to open up export markets in Eastern Europe. In return, he got a 100,000- guilder - credit to favorable conditions. As a result, everything happened very quickly: Thys appeared in Carinthia and chose Klagenfurt as the location for the company he was to set up . The factory was set up in the later military hospital building on Henselstrasse. On the Glan , a cloth whale was created on the Walk . Thys started production in autumn 1762 with 47 workers and one year later employed around 300 people in his company. The estates followed his efforts with interest and granted him the estate as early as 1765. The recognition from Vienna consisted of the elevation of the Carinthian electorate to the nobility. In order to have cheap labor available for the spinning mills, the manufacturer was appointed imperial representative for the spinning school system and the Carinthian Orphan Foundation was relocated from Graz to Klagenfurt. Later he also took over the management of the neighboring military orphanage.

In 1768, 249 orphans worked for Thys. Thys was also allowed to integrate the inmates of poor houses and even prisoners into the work process. Only quality goods left the factory. In 1773, the year of his death, 42 looms were in operation.

However, a factory empire could not be realized. Johann Thys was a respected man. The agriculture and useful arts society made the industrialist its chancellor. He proved to be an extremely active member of the elite association, cultivated maize on his test fields, demanded the cultivation of flax , brought the potato to Carinthia, which is specifically mentioned in the protocol of the land survey in the 1820s, and propagated Lucerne clover as a feed . His son then lost all privileges and was able to pass the company on to the next generation, but then the end came: in 1813 the factory was sold and the factory was donated to Aryan property.

By the decline of the company Thys got the military - Aerar a base in the Feldkirchnerstraße. After the erection of cavalry barracks on Pischeldorfer Strasse and artillery barracks on Völkermarkter Strasse, Klagenfurt was one of the larger garrison types in the 19th century . In 1891, Volume VII of the publication series The hygienic conditions of the larger garrison locations of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy appeared , which is dedicated to the military accommodation of the Carinthian capital and provides an informative insight with the location sketches and descriptions of the individual barracks. The parade ground of the garrison was in Terndorf / Atschalas and consisted of 45 hectares of leased pasture and arable land. For the exercises in the field, the area around Klagenfurt was divided into six rayons , which were assigned to the individual units. The shooting range, located in a hollow in the wooded Kreuzbergl, had a size of 13 hectares . For field-based shooting at great distances, they went to Glainach, the artillery fired their grenades in Gurkfeld.

For the duration of the infantry - Equitation , the Army hired into the location in the west of Klagenfurt indoor riding school, in the evenings with gas was illuminated. An open riding school was located at the cavalry barracks and at the artillery barracks. The latter also had a driving school. In the eastern bay of Lake Wörthersee , the military had their own swimming school , which was no longer owned by the Arar in 1890 . Here the recruits received swimming lessons. The army had the bathing place on the Glanfurt . In summer I went swimming twice a week. In 1890 the garrison consisted of 1913 people, 1336 belonged to Infantry Regiment No. 7, 244 to Hussar Regiment No. 8, and 274 to Corps Artillery Regiment No. 3. The regimental music was housed in the orphanage barracks, the offices of the station command and of the brigade command in the Jesuit barracks .

The Thys cloth factory came under the ownership of the military when it was dedicated to the military hospital. The brick- built multi-storey complex with the courtyards took up an area of ​​7900 m². The laundry room, the mortuary and dissection room, and the fire-fighting props depot were separate objects. The hospital could accommodate up to 170 patients and 23 senior employees. There were washstands and wash bowls in the rooms for daily body cleaning. There were seven tin tubs and a shower attachment in the heated bathroom. The orphanage barracks opposite the troop hospital is a building from the 1760s. It was built to accommodate military orphans who were brought to the cloth manufacturer as workers. The running costs from the military orphan fund were disputed. Maria Theresa gave the home initially for an annual rent and later the property of the nearby Zigguln estate, which the Society of Jesus had lost when the Jesuit order was abolished in 1773. Up to 500 boys and girls lived in the huge building. They had to spin 14 hours a day under the anti-social Thys. Only in the hospital rooms did each child have its own bed , otherwise up to three had to share a bed . There was too little straw and hardly any bed linen and blankets. The halls were very large, poorly ventilated and heated, and the sickrooms on the first floor were damp. The bad and half-raw food came from large cauldrons set into the kitchen floor. The children lacked exercise in fresh air. It just left a lot to be desired. There was also no chaplain. Years later, the orphanage also housed civilian orphans, and conditions had improved slightly. Many inmates suffered from short stature.

As the facility failed, the orphanage was closed in the 1780s, the children were handed over to foster parents and many of them were housed in the countryside.

A cigar factory that employed up to 600 women first moved into the vacant rooms . Then the property became a barracks. The army accommodated up to 750 men in it. There was one room for every 17 soldiers. There were four wells on the 8,200 m² area, two of which were of drinking water quality .

Sankt Veiter Ring

Herbertstöckl

In Carinthia , a “Stöckl” is a small mansion. Built in the 17th century by the Mittnacht zu Werthenau family, it is considered a prime example of the Carinthian Stöckl type. The three-storey building was erected over a rectangular floor plan. A staircase was subsequently attached to the west. At the beginning of the 19th century it was renovated and rebuilt. In 1741 it became the property of the Kulmer family and the Ossiach Abbey bought it in 1747. The owner of Austria's first white lead factory, Johann Michael Freiherr von Herbert , bought it in 1764, and it remained in his family until the 19th century. Siegfried Hartwagner mentions that the Carinthian Stöckl type actually includes a hall called “Labn” on the ground floor that crosses the building. However, this has been replaced by the attached staircase in the west at Herbertstöckl.

Gasthof Weißes Ross

Stately two-storey baroque building with hipped roof, pilaster structure and well-preserved facade decoration from the end of the 18th century. It was built in the late 18th century and has a pilaster facade with braids.

Consulate of the Republic of Indonesia

The villa at Sankt Veiter Ring No. 3 was built around 1820 and is similar to the neighboring "Herbertstöckl". It houses the consulate of the Republic of Indonesia .

BKS headquarters

Villa with the number 51

In the seven-axis pilaster façade from the late 18th century, three windows are highlighted in the middle on the first floor by segmental arched roofs and flowers, as well as braided ornaments ( festoons ). The central window also shows a parapet which, surprisingly, is still decorated with latticework , as was customary around 1730. All other windows have straight lintels. The vegetal decor in the spandrels of the basket arch portals framed by pilasters is also unclassical . Finally, the hermen-like mermaid figures , which serve as a transition from the eaves to the waste pipes, are baroque . As the owner knows, they should have been taken over from the old theater building and installed here.

Sankt Veiter Strasse

Feldkirchner Strasse

Military catering magazine

The military catering magazine on the right-hand side of Feldkirchner Strasse with the number 18 is located on an area of ​​5,400 m². The building ensemble consisted of the main building, the bakery, the flour depot and a bed store. There was also a garden with a laundry drying area and the wash house. The pump well provided very good drinking water, which flowed into the bakery via a wooden pipe.

Klagenfurt gymnastics club in Herbertgarten

The founder of gymnastics is Karl Friedrich Meinhardt from Berlin, born in 1825. The leather manufacturer Eduard Janesch brought him to Klagenfurt in 1853 and paved the way for him as a gymnastics teacher. The founder of the Klagenfurt Volunteer Fire Brigade, Ferdinand Jergitsch, was one of those Klagenfurters who were enthusiastic about gymnastics. Meinhardt achieved that he was allowed to advertise physical training in schools. In 1862 the Klagenfurt gymnastics club was launched in the large coat of arms hall of the country house. The sports pioneer died in 1896 and was buried in Sankt Ruprecht . Sports facilities and club buildings are still located at Feldkirchner Strasse 11 in Herbertgarten EZ 161 Kl V.

Wispelhof Inn

Feldkirchner Strasse number 29. Originally owned by the Herbert family . The Dominium "Midnight to Werthenau" consisted and consists of the Herbertstöckl and the Herbertgarten. The landlord Simon Lepuschitz acquired this property with EZ 9 Kl V. In 1801 he sold the property to the beer brewer Johann Hudelist. He uses the attic to dry the barley. From 1837 to 1873 the soap boiler Johann Kommetter is the owner of the inn, stable, barn and wagon shed. 1879 Peter Koch, 1885 Peter Klee, other owners follow. In 1895 the wagon shed was converted into an apartment. In 1849 the Mischkounig family leased the Wispelhof and bought it in 1952.

On the west side a marble plaque commemorates the Carinthian historical researcher and Klagenfurt city archivist director Karl Lebmacher (1876–1943), who had his parents' house in the Wispelhof.

Wanggo family dye works

The Wanggos are a long-established family and had dye works in Villach , Klagenfurt and Sankt Veit an der Glan . They came to Feldkirchner Strasse in 1811. A branch of the family acquired the so-called Rampichl-Stöckl and Franz Rauscher's cloth factory from 1800 for 13,500 guilders. The area offered an ideal location for a dye works, as the factory was located directly on the Feuerbach. So the company moved from the Villach suburb to the spacious factory building. In 1841 the blueprint and dye works had eight copper dye pots. In 1898 the company was expanded to include a chemical laundry - the first in Carinthia - for which a petrol washing machine and still were purchased. This change was also necessary because blueprinting by hand was no longer profitable. The last jobs included handkerchiefs for Bishop Josef Kahn , who was snuff. Of course, by this time the steam engine and steam boiler had long since conquered the company. In 1911, the Wanggo company was further modernized, which was still in family hands. As a result, the laundry became the main business. The British occupation forces confiscated the company in 1945 and used it for their own purposes; it was only released again in 1947. In the second half of the 20th century, the dyework building fell victim to the pickaxe, but the Rampichl-Stöckl, where members of the Wanggo family still live, has been preserved.
