History and sights

The first written record dates from 1300 as Teychel . The term Teuchel , real Teichel , in the Carinthian dialect mostly as Deichl speaking, derives from the literary Slovenian Tihlja to mean area of Tihla (or Tajhl d h of the Pacific..) From.

The first mountain farmers were also miners who worked in the gold, silver and iron mines in the surrounding area. Once there were 65 farms and chaste . As in other mining areas, agriculture served as extra income for mining and as winter quarters. In the Raitbuch of the Berggericht Obervellach 1480 the silver mining in the Teuchl is reported. The oldest tunnels at around 2000 meters above sea level were called St. Bartlmä , Mitterstollen , St. Achatz in Seebach or St. Marz in Seebach . There are still mining ruins from this time in Teuchl. In the rait book of 1531 it is noted that the tunnels could no longer be mined from September due to the snow conditions. In a smaller, water-powered stamping mill near the tree line, the ore was crushed and roughly processed into sponge iron in a smelter for transport . The transport to the large hammer mill in Napplach was carried out in winter by sledge through the narrow valley floor, with the ore packed in hide sacks. For this purpose, temporary bridges were even built in the gorge, which were removed when the snow melted.

The cheap metals from the New World ultimately made such complex mining unprofitable. The miners who had become farmers became increasingly indebted, as the high-quality wood could not be transported away without sophisticated logistics. At the time of Maria Theresa the Teuchler had to surrender most of the forest to the state due to tax debts, to which they were subordinated to the domain administration of Millstatt Monastery (today Austrian Federal Forests ).

In the Teuchl there is a Catholic church within the cemetery . The parish church of the Holy Trinity was built in 1685, consecrated in 1758 and restored in 1961. The small single-nave building with a polygonal choir and onion helmet was furnished in the mid-18th century.
From 1857 there was a school house in the Teuchl. Around 1900, 70 to 80 students were being taught.

The valley was only connected to the road network just before the First World War . The road with four tunnels through the Teuchlbach gorge was built to transport the wood from the valley.

Teuchl was part of the municipality of Penk until 1973 , when the municipality of Reißeck was founded in Carinthia ( municipality reform 1973 ) from Penk, Kolbnitz and Mühldorf , which left Mühldorf in 1992. Today the Teuchl represents one of the three local parts of the municipality of Reisseck - the municipality is called the Kolbnitz – Penk – Teuchl nature experience region
