Wölfnitz ( Slov. Golovica pri Celovcu ) is the 14th district of the state capital Klagenfurt am Wörthersee ( Austria ).

geography

Wölfnitz is located in the northwest of Klagenfurt and is traversed by the Wölfnitzbach in a northwest-southeast direction , which then flows into the Glan . The district is bounded in the west by the Seltenheimer Berg (756 m) and in the east by the Ulrichsberg ( 1015  m ). Wölfnitz borders on the communities of Krumpendorf , Moosburg , Glanegg , Liebenfels , St. Veit an der Glan and Maria Saal .

history

In the state treaty year, 1955, Wölfnitz was merged with the communities of Lendorf and Ponfeld to form a large community. In 1969, Governor Hans Sima handed over its new parish hall to the community. In 1973, Wölfnitz was incorporated together with the municipality of St. Peter am Bichl (today's cadastral communities of St. Peter am Kalsberg, St. Peter bei Tentschach, Tentschach , Nagra and Kleinbuch) and a small part of the municipality of Liebenfels in the urban area of ​​Klagenfurt. On June 21, 1987, Bishop Egon Kapellari consecrated the new Wölfnitzer Church. In the same year the parish church and the parish center were awarded the state prize for good building in Carinthia.

The old parish church of St. Michael no longer exists.

Seltenheimer choir

The origins of the Singkreis Seltenheim Klagenfurt lie with the medieval Seltenheim Castle. With the development into one of the most renowned choirs in Carinthia, Singkreis Seltenheim now also unites singers from all parts of Carinthia. The Singkreis Seltenheim Klagenfurt has developed into a balanced choir of 50 singers in the past few years.

The annual highlights of the choir in summer include the performances at Seltenheim Castle and the Seltenheim Advent Singing, which is one of the largest Advent concerts in Carinthia.

Economy and Infrastructure

In the economy of the Wölfnitz district, agriculture and forestry as well as the wood processing industry represent a relevant factor. The district also plays a certain role as a leisure and local recreation area, the golf course in Seltenheim in particular. There are several riding stables to choose from for equestrian enthusiasts.

"Karnburg" winery in Leiten

As in other places, viticulture is also being carried out on the southern slope of the Ulrichsberg in Carinthia. And that despite the low winter temperatures in the Klagenfurt Basin, which are anything but favorable for viticulture . Above the Maria Saal village of Stegendorf, the two pioneers Sem Kegley and Dr. Georg Lexer took over the "Karnburg" winery. It is very likely that there were already wine cultures in this area in Roman times.
