The scattered houses are located about 3½ km from the city center of the district capital Hartberg on the city limits. They are located on the northern edge of the East Styrian Riedelland , at approx. 390  m above sea level. A. am Riedl between Hartberger Safen in the east and Pöllauer Safen in the southwest. The houses extend for about one kilometer along the L401  Hartbergerstraße ( Lebing / B 54 - Fürstenfeld / B 319 , km 2.6-3.8) and to the west of it - the opposite side of the street belongs to the village of Safenau in the city of Hartberg.

geology

Due to his old quarry (next toöffelbach and Schildbach ) the geology has been well investigated and was described by Karl Justus Andrä in the 1850s. Here in the middle of the molasse zone of the Alpine foothills in the southeast , on the southern edge of the Joglland (which still belongs to the crystalline part of the central Alps ), there is a bank of Leithakalk , a marine deposit of the Paratethys of the Tertiary , Miocene , turning Sarmat to Pannon . Geologically speaking, it is very young at around 11 million years. In addition to its quality as a building material, the formation is also known for its wealth of microfossils. It is connected to the coal-bearing strata of Weiz and covered by good blue clay and Pannonian sands.

History, economy and infrastructure

Originally there was a forest here, the Totterwald , which belonged to the Hartberg parish . Under city judge Peter de Lanzi (in office 1574–76) the forest was partially cleared and the large and small Totterfeld (Tottenfeld, Tottichfeld) created. The grounds were distributed as fields to the Hartberg citizens. The striped field can still be seen on both sides of the Totterfeldweg, even if it is no longer as fragmented as it was in the 19th century (in the Franciscan cadastre around 1830, some plots are only 20 m wide at 300 meters in length). In the course of time, scattered settlements emerged here.

Soon lime, sand and clay were also mined to the north (Tottenfelder Sandgrube) , and a large brick factory was built , which was operated by the Hartberg municipal utilities .

At the end of the 1990s, the clay stocks were exhausted. In 1999 the production facility was finally closed. Then the Ökopark Hartberg was built on this area , a project that is unique in Austria, which includes a technology and business park for environmental technology, an educational location (including the Da Vinci elementary and secondary school ) and entertainment (with the large format cinema of the former IMAX Vienna, natural science Exhibitions, experimentarium for children and young people).
