history

In Unterbergla there are a number of archaeological sites that document the settlement of the area at least since the Neolithic . Excavations in Grub and Unterbergla in 2008 revealed a layer of settlement from the Bronze Age and a house floor plan. Another reason for archaeological finds was the work on the oil and gas pipelines ( AWP and TAG ) that cross the municipality.

The name Hasreith is documented as Rasrewt in 1390 . The name is seen as a compound word, as a "Slavic-German mixed compound ". Its second syllable is derived from a clearing . Its first syllable is not traced back to rabbits , but to the Slavic word raz , which also denotes a (wood) cut, a clearing site.

The area of ​​Unterbergla was part of the Mark an der Mur , which was separated into the heartland of Styria in 1122 and as the Duchy of Styria from Bavaria in 1180 . Before 1192 the area was ruled by the Otakare family, after which it belonged to the Babenbergs as Dukes of Styria , unless it was owned by the Prince Archbishopric of Salzburg , due to the inheritance rules of the Georgenberger Handfeste .

In the cadastral community Sulzhof , references to a building system from that time were found. In 1209 an Otto von Sulz is mentioned, in 1347 an Irg von Sulz . At the end of the 15th century the property belonged to the Lemsitzer family, then by marriage and inheritance to the Hollenegger and Galler families, who were also wealthy in the area. The court included subjects in the surrounding areas such as Waldschach, Petzelsdorf, Gleinz, Lassenbert, Obergreith, Dörfl and Hasreith. The Sulzhof was in the vicinity of the vlg. Schneiderhoisl on a small ridge near property no. 341/2 KG 61060 Sulzhof. This property is shown in the zoning plan as an archaeological site, but it is not listed in the compilations of the Federal Monuments Office on listed objects in Unterbergla . There is a 50 by 20 meter plateau on top of it, only stone blocks, traces of mortar and landforms are documented, which indicate a building complex, walls are no longer recognizable. In the years around 1711/12, the remains of the building are said to have been removed and used for the renovation of the church of Groß St. Florian.

From 1282 to 1918 the area was essentially under the rule of the Habsburgs , but from 1477 to 1490 it belonged to Matthias Corvinus' domain . Like many areas of Styria, it also suffered from the Ottoman raids in 1529 and 1532 .

In 1870 the name of the tax municipality Zelko, which belonged to the former municipality Sulzhof, was changed to Mönichgleinz , while the name of the settlement Zelko was retained.

Location of the former municipality of Unterbergla in the Deutschlandsberg district with the municipality boundaries until the end of 2014

On November 6, 1918 Unterbergla came to the Republic of German-Austria as part of Styria . After the annexation of Austria in 1938 he came to the Reichsgau Steiermark, from 1945 to 1955 he was part of the British zone of occupation in Austria .

Hill in the south of the community (until the 18th century location of the former Sulzhof)

The municipality of Unterbergla was created on January 1, 1968 by amalgamating the previously independent municipalities of Grub bei Groß Sankt Florian, Hasreith, Nassau, Sulzhof and part of the municipality of Michlgleinz (whose cadastral municipality of the same name) with the former municipality of Unterbergla. On June 1, 1951, the name of the municipality of Grub was changed to Grub near Groß Sankt Florian . The village of Langegg, which was still an independent municipality in 1868, also belongs to Grub.

coat of arms

The description of the coat of arms ( blazon ) reads: "In gold a blue carp decorated with gold grows from its dorsal fin a blue peacock wheel decorated with gold."

When designing the coat of arms of the municipality of Unterbergla, the coat of arms of the Gleinz family from the Gleinzer Bergland was taken as the starting point. They carried a so-called upper half peacock in a silver shield. Since the pond economy in the municipality goes back at least to the time of the beginnings of modern estate management (16th century) in the municipality and carp farming is still important today, the inclusion of carp in the coat of arms made sense. The color blue was chosen for the carp. The main color impression of a peacock is also blue. Since gold is a warm metal, equilibrium with the cold color blue has been achieved.

The seven peacock feathers represent the seven cadastral communities of Unterbergla. The way the peacock feathers grow from the dorsal fin or the caudal fin of the carp creates a close connection between the present and the past.

The award was made by ordinance of the Styrian state government with effect from June 1, 1988.

Population development

The number of inhabitants in the Unterbergla area has not changed significantly in the last 150 years, it is around 1400 people.

Economy and Infrastructure

Unterbergla has a predominantly rural structure, with the proportion of full-time farmers falling below 10%. The area is particularly known for the large number of ponds in which carp are mainly bred. This is also reflected on the coat of arms of Unterbergla, which shows a carp with peacock feathers. Originally a peacock was the municipality's heraldic animal.
