Tragöß is a place in the north-west of Bruck an der Mur in Styria ( judicial district Bruck an der Mur and in the political district Bruck-Mürzzuschlag ). Until December 31, 2014, Tragöß was an independent municipality with 933 inhabitants (as of January 31, 2019). As part of the municipal structural reform in Styria , it was merged with the municipality of Sankt Katharein an der Laming . The resulting new community is called Tragöß-Sankt Katharein . The basis for this was the Styrian Municipal Structural Reform Act - StGsrG.
A complaint to the Constitutional Court against the merger was unsuccessful. The Constitutional Court rejected the complaint.

history
It is likely that Tragoss was already inhabited by the Celts . After the Great Migration , the area was settled by Slavs in the 6th century , who did not build their houses on the valley floor, but on the slopes above. The name is also probably of Slavic origin: "tre" for three and "gozd" for forest; “Dreiwald” possibly refers to the three distinctive peaks of Trenchtling, Meßnerin and Pribitz. Until the 19th century, the area of Tragöß-Oberort was called In der Lasnitz . This name comes from the Slavic and is translated as "Waldbach", "Wiesenbach" or as a reference to water in a cleared area.
The German tribes of the Bavarians and Franks, who followed in the 9th century , mainly settled on the valley floor.
The place is mentioned for the first time in a document dated May 16, 1023, which concerns a donation from Emperor Heinrich II to the Göß convent .
In 1210 Tragöß became its own parish . It was a feudal parish belonging to the Goess monastery; the pastor was also administrator for the manor. The conflicts that often arose from this with the population culminated in 1493 with the murder of Pastor Melchior Lang. This act became the basis of the novel " Der Gottsucher " by Peter Rosegger . The priest's skull with the wound from the murder weapon could still be seen after 2000 in a glass case in the rectory. The pillars of the gallows on which the perpetrators were executed can still be seen in the gallows forest between Großdorf and Tragöß / Oberort.
In 1654, the Göß monastery also acquired the district court from the city of Bruck. In the 17th century, Tragöß was struck by the plague .
In the famine years of 1816 and 1817 there were serious crop failures. Archduke Johann also visited the Lamingtal to provide help .
religion
92.0% of the population are Roman Catholic , 3.2% Protestant , 4.2% without religious beliefs. Tragöß is the seat of a Roman Catholic parish .
Population development
After 1869 the population decreased continuously (then 1033 people) and reached its lowest level in 1910 with only 856. By the following census in 1923 there was an increase of 29.3% to 1107, to which by 1934 a further increase of 7, 0% followed 1184. The population then fluctuated between 1100 and 1180. Since the 1991 census, there has been a decline.

coat of arms
The official description of the coat of arms ( blazon ) read:
- "In the blue shield above a green flooded shield base a three-pointed silver mountain, covered with a black kettle hook."
The foot of the shield with its green flooding (waves) denotes the Green Lake, the three-pronged rock the massif's mountain range. The kettle hook comes from the coat of arms of the cannon monastery Göß near Leoben, to which the Tragößtal belonged from the Middle Ages until the abolition of the basic subservience in 1848.
