history
The settlement of Vogau
prehistory
In 1960, a stone ax from the end of the Neolithic , 3000–2000 BC, was used during construction work in Vogau . Chr , found. Finds in Straß , Seibersdorf and Brunnsee also point to lively settlement activity in Leibnitzer Feld at this time . Whether it also Vogau a settlement has given, can not be inferred from this single find, especially since it is the location around the flood plain of the Mur is. In ancient times, the river did not flow west of Landscha , but east along the Gabersdorfer Terrasse towards Sankt Veit am Vogau . However, it is possible that, for safety reasons, someone has settled at the site, which is in the middle of the swamp and floodplain on a slightly higher level .
Roman times
There is evidence that Vogau was settled in Roman times ( 16 BC to 476 AD). In the vicinity of the Roman town of Flavia Solva , founded in AD 77 , on the soil of today's Wagna municipality , hamlets and villas were built everywhere . In the spring of 1945 traces of the Roman era were found in the Vogau community. Not far from the Vogau waterworks on the “Römerweg” was a Roman hamlet. The burial took place in the nearby reed "Leberäcker", because the names Lerbing , Lebring and Leber indicate Roman barrows . Since no special finds were made here, it is assumed that it was a poorer settlement.
In the park of Landhaus Reichsstrasse 1 , on the border with Straß, the archaeologist Friedrich Pichler uncovered the floor plan of a Roman villa in 1877 . Six main rooms and a 58 square meter kitchen have been identified. At a depth of half a meter, the grouting floor , which was paved with square and hexagonal bricks, was found. There was a heater under the floor . The appearance stones were from Aflenzer lime . The walls were covered with colored panels decorated with circles and leaf ornaments. The whole settlement perished at the time of the Great Migration , perhaps with the destruction of Flavia Solva in 405 .
Slavic immigration
The immigration of the Slavs between 600 and 700 left hardly any traces in the municipality. The validity estimates in 1542, as well as the vineyard names from 1820, according to the Franziszeische Cadastre , are purely German . The Slovenes have probably avoided the large floodplain.
German colonization
After the Magyars in 1053 the Hengistgau had devastated, then in 1066 to Radkersburg has been advanced, organized was German colonization until after the by the Hungarian king Béla II. In the year 1131 with the previously warring Austria and Bohemia covenants and the fixing by Konrad I. von Abensberg , the Archbishop of Salzburg , who had large estates here, appoint. Even if the church of Sankt Veit am Vogau does not appear in documents until 1194, it should have existed a little earlier. Along with von Straden, the parish is the oldest in the entire lower Mur Valley. In 1219 it was incorporated into the Seckau diocese, which was created in 1218 . 1243 Ulricus sacertas de Vogano is mentioned as a priest of the parish in a deed of the Seiz monastery . The name Untervogau appears for the first time in 1220 as Vogan inferius. At that time the sovereign owned two and a half hubs here. The place was called Nider Voga until about 1600, only later did the name “VnderVogan” (Untervogau) become established. The name Vogau refers to a larger area than Upper and Lower Vogau, so in 1681 the Rabenhof Castle was called the "Hoff Voga".
In 1406 Vogau had 26 houses, in 1445 only 21 houses, and Obervogau only 18 houses. The Hungarian invasion of 1418 may have decimated the population. From 1479 to 1490 the Magyars sat at Seggau Castle and disturbed the whole area. In 1532 the Turks laid Mureck and Leibnitz to rubble and ashes. In addition there were the plague years 1480, 1583, 1600, 1664, 1680 and 1765.
The Vogau community was not spared the three plagues of war, hunger and plague. The Kuruzzenkrieg from 1704 to 1709 only affected Vogau insofar as the subjects were summoned to fortify the defensive line in the Radkersburg - St. Anna am Aigen area with entrenchments and defenses . In a report from 1701 it can be seen that the farmers had to suffer from billeting and moving through of soldiers for years.
All returnees took part in the defensive battle in the lower Murtal in 1919/20. The two world wars claimed great casualties: between 1914 and 1918, 17 people fell from the community, and from 1939 to 1945 a total of 35 people.
Brief history of the lords of Straß and Ehrenhausen
After Vogau was closely connected with both rulers for centuries, their history should also be briefly described here. Strass was already settled in Roman times, and the Slavs had also settled there. In 1286 the place was still called Strazza in a document (the “z” is to be pronounced like the “ß”). The word comes from "straza" which means waiting, guard post, defense construction.
In the 12th century, the Lords of Mureck built a fortification here, and in the late Middle Ages the Pettau and the Lords of Graben owned properties. The Eggenbergers appeared in the 16th century. The inscription “1540 Cathrein von Eggenberg and Justine Breunerin” can be found on the “house tower”. According to a further inscription, Bartholomäus Eggenberg built the Straß Castle in 1583 , and Hans Ulrich von Eggenberg made it the seat of a considerable rulership in 1616. This also included the villages of Untervogau, Obervogau, Ratsch as well as subjects and vineyards in the Windischen Büheln . The land register from 1616 on "the rule of Straa ß" proves what a powerful lord this Eggenberger was:
- "Woolly born Mr. Hanß Vlrichen Freyherr von Eggenberg, also Ehrenhaußen , Adlsperg vnd Straaß, pledge lord of the County of Mitterburg, Roman Imperial Majesty haimber Rath, also Mr. Archduke Ferdinand of Austria haimber Rath, Camerer and Obdrister Hoffmaister also Landtshaubtman in Crain…."
In 1622, Straß received the regional court. There were two places of execution, one in Vogau on the "Galgenriegel" in the park of the country house Reichsstrasse 1 , the second on the road to St. Veit, where the site name "Galgenacker" reminds of it. In 1624 Johann Ulrich von Eggenberg obtained market rights for Straß. In 1848 the regional courts were overturned.
In 1726 Johann Anton Josef , Prince Count of Gradisca, Duke of Cromau and Prince of Eggenberg, Count of Adelsberg and Lord of Aqueleja, Roman emperor, died. Privy councilor and governor in Carniola . He had appointed his two daughters, Mrs. Maria Eleonore and Mrs. Maria Theresia, both married Countesses of Leslie, as heirs, but his widow Maria Charlotte as "fruit connoisseur". She managed the property until her death in 1754, followed by her daughter Maria Theresa in 1755, owned by the lords of Straß and Ehrenhausen. In 1776 her son Anton Graf von Leslie took over the estates, in 1804 his sister Rosalia, widowed Countess von Attems inherited both lords. In 1849 Karl Graf Attems took over the property. In 1852 the castle, the Meierhof, the church, the courtyard and the garden as well as other properties were sold to the Imperial and Royal Army. This was first used by the castle as a teaching institution, and from 1874 as a barracks.
The Ehrenhausen rulership also had larger possessions and several subjects in Vogau. The Eggenberg family acquired Ehrenhausen in 1543. In 1722, after the male line of Eggenberg's wife, Princess Maria Charlotte von Eggenberg had died out, she was owned by Mrs. Theresia Countess Leslie, born in 1755. Princess von Eggenberg, inherited. Her son followed in 1776 and his sister Rosalia Countess von Attems in 1804.
The owners of the Gülten zu Untervogau
A large part of Untervogau formed its own validity. Unfortunately, its history could only be traced back to 1629. In this year, Leonhard Götz, Bishop of Lavant , acquired from the Racknitzers, who had to leave the country as Protestants, the Racknitz Castle, which was built by a branch of the Racknitzers near Wildon , on a ridge between Laßnitz and the Stainzbach . The bishop named the castle "Thurnegg" and bequeathed it to the son of his sister Caspar Dornsberg von Dornhof.
In 1690 Caspar Dornsberg sold the Untervogau office to Erasmus von Wotgo (also called Wenko) for 16 pounds, 4 shillings, 18 pfennigs.
In 1715 the daughter Maria Elisabeth, who was married to Carl Ignaz Graf von Heinrichsperg, inherits the valid with 16 tt, 4 ß, 18 d. In 1718 Countess Maria Elisabeth Heinrichsperger sold the gilt for the same amount to the noble Jakob Pureib. In 1727 he bequeathed the Gülten to his widow Agathe Magdalena von Pureib to "vnder Voggan including all belonging" with 16 pounds, 4 shillings, 18 pfennigs.
In 1743 the heiress, her daughter Catarina Theresia Charlotte Edle von Ponten, sold the Pureibische Gülten according to the land registry of May 4, 1743:
- "... about the so-called Puribian Gülten sold by the well-born women Theresia Charlotte von Ponden Ihro High Prince Highness of the High-born Princess and women Maria Charlotte, Duchess in Kromau and Princess zu Eggenberg under Voga, which are now taken under the rule of Straß."
Rule and subject
In the 12th and 13th centuries, all land was in the hands of clergy and noble landlords. They called in German colonists, and the peasant became lord of interest. He vowed loyalty and obedience to the landlord for the protection and protection he had given. The manor also had lower jurisdiction, some were also given the district court, then they were entitled to set up a gallows. The tithe , the tenth part of the fechation , was originally an ecclesiastical levy, the bishops often lent it to the sovereigns and the nobility. In 1220 the sovereign in Untervogau owned 2 ½ hubs . In 1271 Wulfing von Treunstein received from the Bishop of Seckau five hubs each for Upper and Lower Vogau as fiefdoms. From 1377 to 1743 two hubs always remained with the Seggau diocese, to which in 1406 each of the 26 hubs at Nider Vogan had to deliver two quarters of millet toe.
In 1754 the noble Cristoff Galler served 18 Schilling Pfennigs a year. In 1477 Albrecht "grave ze Schawnberg" (Graf Schaumburg) settled the dispute between the poor people (farmers) of the Bishop of Seckau and Weikhard von Polhaim and Andre Galler zu Nieder Vogau in Ehrenhausen. With the unmeasured robot, the farmer had to come when the master ordered. It was not until Empress Maria Theresia that the daily robot was abolished in 1778 and limited to three days a week.
Even if serfdom had already been abolished in the 17th century, a subject could not marry, learn a trade or move away without the permission of the landlord. Around 1800, with the approval of the authorities and the landlord, the Huben were allowed to be cut up and so now a lot of chastisers appear. In 1820 there were 43 Keuschler, 3 half-farmer, 21 three-quarter farmer and only 2 full-farmer in Untervogau. Of the 70 houses, 48 belonged to the rulership of Straß, 11 to Ehrenhausen, 10 to Spielfeld and 1 to Kapfenstein.
1822: Vogau Unter. District of Straß, parish of St. Veit. Obligatory to the Seggau diocese with a whole grain toe. Area: 980 Joch (692 Joch fields, 171 Joch meadows, 117 Joch forests, 75 houses, 358 souls, 60 horses, 20 oxen, 79 cows)
Independent municipality
The local community as an autonomous body was established in 1850. Untervogau was united with Straß from 1872 to 1885, and has since formed its own community again. In 1885, as a cadastral parish of the local community of Straß in the judicial district of Leibnitz, Untervogau was parish in St. Veit and schooled in Straß. Area and population in 1885: 983 yoke, 89 houses with 556 souls. In 1893 Vogau had 99 houses and 634 inhabitants, in 1904 105 houses and 626 selenium, in 1923 119 houses and 618 inhabitants.
After the annexation of Austria in 1938, the community became part of the Reichsgau Steiermark, from 1945 to 1955 it was part of the British zone of occupation in Austria. On September 1, 1969, the community name was changed to Vogau.
coat of arms
On August 1, 1974, the municipality of Vogau received a coat of arms from the Styrian state government. The parallel lines in the green field represent the main road that runs through the municipality. Corn and wheat symbolize the agricultural character of the community. In the upper strip is the coat of arms of the Counts of Attems , the last landlords of Untervogau (1804 to 1848).
Economy and Infrastructure
The originally mainly agricultural community has developed into a business location in recent years thanks to its own motorway exit from the A9 .
The largest of the more than 60 companies are the construction companies Dipl.-Ing. Josef Partl BauGmbH and Ing.Alois Röck. One of the best-known companies is the Vinofaktur with their selection of wines and specialties from the entire region.
Culture and sights
Leisure and infrastructure
A tennis facility with five sand courts, a covered curling lane, a generally accessible soccer field and a volleyball field are available.
