history
The place was first mentioned in a document in 864, when King Ludwig the German gave the Salzburg archbishopric a property here. The castle Strasbourg was in 1147 under the fourth Gurker Bishop Roman I built, expanded in the 15th century as a castle and served until the 18th century as the seat of Gurker bishops. As a bishopric, the place became the most important place in the Gurktal and so in 1229 Strasbourg was elevated to a market and was first mentioned as a city in 1382. The city charter was 1402 by Prince-Bishop Konrad III. confirmed by Helfenberg . In 1473 and 1476 there were two Turkish incursions into Carinthia , as the Ottoman border had moved very close to Austria-Hungary due to territorial gains from the Republic of Venice . The Gurktal was also affected.
After Strasbourg was badly damaged by an earthquake in 1767, the residence of the bishops was first relocated to Pöckstein Castle and finally to Klagenfurt in 1787 . The offices of the episcopal estate administration remained in Strasbourg until 1858. With the relocation of the bishop's seat and the estate administration, the city increasingly lost its importance.
The area of the municipality, which was newly constituted in 1850, comprised the district of the former Strasbourg Regional Court (excluding Gurk ) and has not changed since then, with the exception of part of the Strasbourg-Land KG to Gurk (1924/25).
In terms of traffic, the municipality was opened up in particular by the Gurktalbahn from 1898 and connected to the Südbahn , whose operation in Strasbourg, however, was finally stopped in 1972; the entire route was demolished in the area of the municipality.
population
According to the 2001 census, Strasbourg has 2,335 inhabitants, of which 95.0% are Austrian and 1.3% Bosnian citizens. 90.8% of the population profess to the Roman Catholic Church, 1.0% to the Evangelical Church and 2.2% are of the Islamic faith. 3.3% of the population has no religious affiliation.

coat of arms
The use of a seal has been made available for around 1346 (due to the presumed granting of city rights), expressly mentioned in a document of February 17, 1382, but only received on a document of February 12, 1504. There is no indication of the occasion or the reason for choosing a red rosette.
The coat of arms was certified and the flag was re-awarded on December 19, 1969. The official blazon of the coat of arms reads: “In gold, an eight-petalled red rosette, the cup of which is formed by a silver-framed blue disc, from the center of which eight golden rays star-shaped to the edge run towards the silver central ribs of the rosette leaves. ”The flag is red-yellow-blue with an incorporated coat of arms.
