history

Municipal Office
Castle meeting

Finds from the year 500 BC BC indicate early settlements near Görtschach and in the Krastal . Around 45 AD and after that, today's municipal area was settled by Treffen by the Romans. Even then, Krastal marble was extracted in the Krastal, as demonstrated by Roman stones made of marble that are walled into the parish church. It can also be assumed that the Santicum road station was located in the St. Ruprecht am Moos area. According to the Itinerarium Antonini from Aquileia over the Plöckenpass and through the Drautal , the Roman military road Via Julia Augusta led via Santicum and on via Feldkirchen , St. Peter am Bichl (milestone) and Karnburg to Virunum . The later established trade route through the Canal Valley (recorded in the Tabula Peutingeriana ) will have been connected here with a Drau crossing. A strategically important road junction was created. After the Romans, Slavs settled, from this time the Slavic names "Trebina" for meeting and "Conpolje" (= field) for Pölling come.

Meeting was first mentioned in 860 in a document with which the Frankish King Ludwig the German gave the royal court to Treffen ( "curtis ad Trebinam" ) and 70 Huben to the Salzburg bishop Adalwin . Today it is believed that these are properties that are now near Treffen, but in the municipality of Villach (near the village of St. Ruprecht am Moos). In the year 876 a deed of donation from King Karlmann mentioned the name Treffen once more when he transferred royal property to the Bavarian monastery Ötting (in the same deed, which is the oldest original document in Carinthia, today's Villach is also mentioned for the first time as pons Uillah ) . The monastery built today's parish church of St. Maximilian in Treffen in 890. The Eppenstein family came through the Diocese of Passau . Marriage with the dynasty of the Counts of Altshausen-Veringen gave rise to their sidelines, the Counts of Treffen . In 1163 Wolfrad von Treffen , his wife Hemma and their only son Ulrich II von Treffen (Patriarch of Aquileja) transferred their property in Treffen, Tiffen and Gratschach to the Patriarchate of Aquileja .

The Treffen castle on the foothills of the Oswaldiberg was built in the 16th century by the Liechtenstein family . After being destroyed by an earthquake in 1690, it was rebuilt a year later.

The municipality Treffen was formed in 1850, and in 1984 it was elevated to the status of a market municipality.

Today, Treffen is a popular place, especially for summer tourism, and records around 450,000 overnight stays annually. The Kanzelbahn, built from 1925 and opened in 1928, is still a tourist attraction of the community today.

population

According to the 2001 census, the community of Treffen has 4,279 inhabitants, 95.3% of whom are Austrian and 1.8% German citizens.

51.9% of the community population profess to the Roman Catholic Church , 37.6% to the Evangelical Church and 0.8% to Islam . 6.8% are without religious beliefs. The parish is one of those parishes in Carinthia in which the Protestant share is highest.

The municipality Treffen had a negative birth balance from 1991 to 2001 (–241) and from 2001 to 2011 (–522) . The population remained almost constant due to a positive migration balance.

Without a bridge, pedestrians have to take hundreds of meters of detour. "

literature

The Viennese alpinist and court chamber official Josef Kyselak (1798–1831) also attended meetings in 1825 on his hike through the Austrian Empire. He reports, among other things, of exercises for an upcoming shooting competition: “Shot after shot thundered out of the village into the open, I thought I was passing a besieged fortress. It was an exercise in the close-up shooting, several of which take place every year in every town, with particular efforts to raise the fame of your house with a top target . From here you can see these continuously adorning the houses through Salzburg and Tyrol. The panes on which the father or great-grandparent won the best hang by heart on the walls of the house, and no descendant will dare to remove one of these ornaments, even if they are weathered, but instead, as I have often seen, have a roof made over them . The rarest Quodlibet are those with boars, trees, chamois, enemy soldiers, bulls, etc. painted panes, on the completely covered walls. "
