history

Settlement of today's municipal area can be traced back to the early Middle Ages, when Slavs immigrated to the region from the east at the end of the 6th century . The names in and around Zeutschach also prove the Slavic origin of the settlements.

The name Zeutschach developed from the Slavic place name "Zizawa", which was first mentioned in a Latin document in 1172 ( "locus qui dicitur Zizawa" ). From its Slavic origins, the word Zizawa can be interpreted as “water-rich, swampy area with sour grass”.

The political community Zeutschach was established in 1849/50.

"In a silver shield there is a right diagonal bar of interlocking blue diamonds."

The diamond bar is taken from the coat of arms of a medieval noble family of ministers who had their residence in Graslupp.
