Karlsberg tax district

In the first half of the 19th century, the tax district of Karlsberg was one of the 89 districts in the province of Carinthia . It comprised the following seven tax communities within their then borders:

• Cadastral municipality of Galling
• Cadastral municipality Hörzendorf (then spelling Herzendorf )
• Cadastral community Liebenfels (former name Feistritz )
• Niederdorf cadastral community
• Cadastral parish St. Peter am Karlsberg (former name St. Peter )
• Cadastral municipality Pfannhof
• Cadastral community project

The district covered an area of ​​5817 yoke , which corresponds to about 33.5 km². In 1846 the district had 1,550 inhabitants.

Karlsberg Castle

The district was named after the Karlsberg rulership with its seat at Karlsberg Castle , located in today's municipality of Sankt Veit an der Glan. It was noteworthy that only six of the seven tax communities formed a closed area around the Karlsberg Castle; on the other hand, the tax municipality of Pfannhof was just under 10 km further northeast. Pfannhof Palace, like Karlsberg Palace, was owned by Count Goëss .

In the course of the reforms after the revolution of 1848/49, the tax districts were dissolved. The tax communities previously belonging to the Karlsberg tax district were then allocated to the newly established political communities Hörzendorf (Galling, Hörzendorf, Niederdorf, Projern), Feistritz (Liebenfels), Pfannhof (Pfannhof) and St. Peter am Bichl ; the latter was in the political district of Klagenfurt-Land , the other in the district of Sankt Veit .
