Coat of arms of the former municipality of Stallhof

Stallhof is a place in western Styria . Until the end of 2014 it was a municipality with 535 inhabitants (as of 2014) in the Deutschlandsberg district ( Deutschlandsberg judicial district ). As part of the structural reform in Styria , Stallhof was merged with the municipalities of Stainz , Stainztal , Rassach , Marhof and Georgsberg in 2015 , and the new municipality continues to bear the name Stainz. The basis for this is the Styrian Municipal Structural Reform Act - StGsrG.

geography

Stallhof is located in western Styria. There are no other cadastral communities apart from Stallhof.

history

The place was part of the Mark Steiermark, created in 1122, which was separated from Bavaria as the Duchy of Styria in 1180 . From 1192 the area was ruled by the Babenbergs in personal union between Austria and Styria. From 1282 to 1918 the area was under the rule of the Habsburgs , it was initially in the "Quarter between Mur and Drau", then in the Marburg district of Styria, which initially extended into the Kainach Valley, but whose border was repeatedly moved to the south. so that Stallhof was with the other communities of the Stainztal from November 1, 1783 in the Graz district . On November 6, 1918, the place came as part of Styria to the Republic of German-Austria.

The Stainzer Zündwarenfabrik, which had to be closed in April 1927 due to economic problems, was on the local border. Because the factory building was almost entirely in Stainz, but the factory apartments in Stallhof, the former community had to bear the burden of caring for the unemployed. Since this was no longer possible with the outbreak of the global economic crisis , the population threatened to become impoverished. Parades, protests and political conflicts were the result, also because the situation of the previously economically better off agricultural layers of the community began to deteriorate just as rapidly.

Another economic blow for Stallhof was the discontinuation of the local railway line from Stainz to Preding-Wieselsdorf for the first time on January 18, 1932, which could no longer achieve lasting economic relevance even after the resumption of restricted operations.

After the annexation of Austria in 1938, the place was in the Reichsgau Steiermark, from 1945 to 1955 it was part of the British zone of occupation in Austria.
