history

The place name comes from Slavic , it is called around 1300 as Zmolowe , 1331 mons Zmolach , around 1500 in the Zmolln . It is not a -ach -name for a river or a river valley, but is part of a group of Bavarian collectives ( collective names ) that go back to an old plural suffix Middle High German  -ach , Old High German  -ahi , which is mainly associated with settlement and farm names with plants stands. The name is in the sense of a locative to a Slavic field name of the form * smolova, * smolnja (like Slovenian smola , resin, pitch '), with the meaning' in the juniper-rich area '.

The area then gains importance with the start of mining in Hartlgraben, where alum has been mined since 1581 and graphite has been mined continuously since 1755 , which is important for smelting crucibles and linings ( graphite mining in Kaisersberg ) . At the end of the 18th century and again in the 1950s, the population of the village was over 250, currently the mining area is no longer a residential area.

Today the purely agricultural altitude is also a recreational area of ​​the upper Mur Valley, more important accommodations are the 300 year old Schafferalm , Pfaffenthaleralm and Eberl ( Bienenalm , No. 6).
