Tregist is a place in the Köflach-Voitsberg basin in Styria as well as the cadastral municipality of the municipality of Voitsberg in the Voitsberg district . It was an independent political community from 1850 to 1951/52. The former mining area Zangtal is located in the area of ​​the former municipality .

Place name and geography

The name Tregist is probably derived from the Slavic court or owner name Trêbogosth . The place itself is a high medieval clearing area with individual farms and wastelands . It is east of Köflach .

history

Archaeological finds suggest that there was a settlement as early as the Neolithic Age . Furthermore, several Roman stones were found in the local area and some researchers suspect that there may have been a Roman post office nearby. The village was first mentioned in documents as Tregusse in 1268/69 . Further mentions date from around 1300 as am Trebost , 1318 as Trebgost and Trebgast , 1349 as Tregast , 1450 as Nidertregast , 1478 as Tregest and around 1790 as the municipality of Tregist . From the 11th century at the latest, the village or the Zedernica estate with the Margaret Church , which is no longer preserved today, can be identified, which was the first medieval settlement focus in the Voitsberg area. Until 1848, subjects of the lords of Altenberg , Alt-Kainach , Greißenegg , Kleinkainach , Lankowitz , Obervoitsberg , Piber , Rein and Rehregg as well as the church St. Margarethen , the parish Köflach and the Voitsberg Carmelite monastery lived in Tregist . Around 1680, the Obervoitsberg rulership levied a road toll on the Tregist . At that time Tregist also had its own liter measure, the Tregister Görz , which held about 28.5 liters.

Around 1770 Lobmingberg was part of the advertising district of Greißenegg Castle . From 1799 the Oberdorf coal seam was opened up from Tregist with the Michaeli tunnel . From around 1800 there was also a factory in Tregist where alum was extracted. The former parsonage of the Margarethenkirche served as accommodation for the gendarmerie around 1840 . At the same time there were seven mines in the municipality that were used to mine coal .

In 1850 it was constituted as a "free local community Tregist". This lasted until it was incorporated into the municipality of Voitsberg in 1951/52.

Around 1858 there were eight mines in Tegist. From 1869 Tregist belonged to the Voitsberg Sanitary Paleon and medical care was provided from Voitsberg. August Zang and the Graz-Köflacher Railway and Mining Company owned several large mining operations in Tregist in 1878. In 1860 the alum factory was closed due to unprofitability and came into the possession of the Muhr family, who set up an inn there. In 1861 Anton Lipp and Karl Knaffl founded what would later become the leather and lacquer factory A. Lipp & Sohn . In 1897, the Styrian Landtag passed the resolution to build a Voitberg hospital, which was built from 1900 in the municipality of Tregist and opened on December 14, 1901. In 1899 the municipality of Tregist set up a primary school in a building of the former alum factory. Since this soon turned out to be too small, the community bought the entire factory site and had a new school building built on it, which was opened on November 3, 1903. Also in 1902, the Tregist advance fund association was founded for the local communities Arnstein, Bärnbach, Großwöllmiß, Kleinwöllmiß, Lobming, Lobmingberg, Tregist and Hochtregist . In 1912 the primary school became too small again and had to be expanded further. In September and October 1926 there was a typhoid outbreak in the community, from which eleven people fell ill and one woman died.

On October 6, 1929, there was a fight between supporters of the National Socialists and the Social Democrats in the Brandner Inn. When the Pfrimer Putsch started on September 12, 1931 , the mining operation in the Zangtal became the operations center of the Styrian Homeland Security in the Voitsberg district. On July 25, 1935, the National Socialists distributed leaflets in Tregist. In June 1944, during a search operation carried out by the Hitler Youth and the Landwacht, several supply containers with English machine guns, ammunition, uniforms and equipment as well as more than 2,000 leaflets were found by the Allies using parachutes. On January 3, 1945, two Allied bombs were dropped along the railway line between Oberdorf and Voitsberg.

In 1948 the elementary school was expanded. Between 1951/52 Tregist was incorporated into the municipality of Voitsberg , while the district of Hochtregist came to Bärnbach . In 1963 the elementary school was renovated and expanded until 1964/65. In 1972 the school was closed due to a lack of students and the municipality of Voitsberg established a kindergarten in the building in 1974. In addition, a Prof. Franz Weiß Museum, which opened on January 18, 2009, was set up in the former school building .
