St. Veit an der Glan (Slovene Sveti Vid or Šent Fid , sometimes also with the addition ob Glini ) is the name of both a municipality with 12,255 inhabitants (as of January 1, 2023) in Carinthia , Austria , and its largest town , the main town of the municipality, with 10,520 inhabitants (as of January 1, 2023).

The city was built at the intersection of old transport routes. It was the state capital of Carinthia until 1518, and it is the seat of the district headquarters of the political district of St. Veit an der Glan .

Municipality

The municipality is located in Central Carinthia, in the south of the St. Veit an der Glan district. In terms of landscape, it includes the east of the Glantal , the northeast of the Glantaler Bergland , the north of the Zollfeld and the west of the Launsdorfer Senke . In the north of the municipality the main town is at the foot of the Lorenziberg , which is just outside the municipality, and south of the main town are the Muraunberg, the Hörzendorfer See and the Tanzenberg. In the southwest the community extends to the eastern slope of the Ulrichsberg, in the southeast over the northern part of the Zollfeld to the western slope of the Magdalensberg.

Main town

The city was created at the intersection of old traffic routes: from the ancient connection from the Danube region to the Adriatic, which turns west at St. Veit towards Feldkirchen-Villach-Tarvis, roads branch off here to the south to Klagenfurt (and further via Loibl or Seeberg) as well to the east towards Völkermarkt and Görtschitztal with the old Hüttenberg iron center.

The town lies in the very east of the Glan Valley, on an alluvial fan at the confluence of Wimitz and Mühlbach into the Glan . Over the past 150 years it has expanded in area in all directions, especially towards the southeast towards Zollfeld, most recently in 1958 through the incorporation of St. Donat .

The municipality includes seven cadastral communities (area: as of December 31, 2021):

Galling (293.92 ha)

Hörzendorf (682.28 ha)

Niederdorf (569.16 ha)

Structure of the main town

Historically, today's capital St. Veit an der Glan was divided into the city (Old Town, Inner City) and five suburbs (Friesacher Vorstadt, Klagenfurter Vorstadt, Villacher Vorstadt, Völkermarkter Vorstadt, Weitensfelder Vorstadt). The suburbs were temporarily (1869 and 1880) run as separate towns, then as parts of the town. Today this subdivision no longer has any practical meaning. Although some of the former suburbs give their names to census districts, these do not correspond to the historical suburban areas.

Old Town

The old town (inner city, formerly simply: city ) surrounded by city walls was built in the 12th/13th century. Century created. The city around the Upper and Lower Squares consisted of four quarters:

To the north of Oberer Platz, around the town hall and along Judengasse (today Bräuhausgasse), there was the Fourteen Nothelfer quarter. It was named after the Nothelfer Church, which was demolished in 1790 and replaced by a residence that is now used as the district headquarters.

South of the Oberer Platz and around the Kirchgassl was the parish district with the town parish church.

To the north of the Unteren Platz (formerly: Niederer Platz) and on Burggasse was the castle district with the so-called Herzogsburg.

The Zwölfbotenviertel south of Unteren Platz and around Botengasse was named after the Twelve Messenger Church, which was demolished in the 18th century.

Mailänder Hof, Friesacher Vorstadt

In 1428 this settlement was called Friesacher Ort . In the 19th century, the Friesacher Vorstadt consisted of a few houses on Friesacher Straße, which led away from the old town to the east, including the Gasthaus Stern (at the location of today's Fuchspalast) and the Mailänderhof. In addition, the Kölnhof, the Ranftlhof, the Schönmühle an der Wimitz, the Theresienhof and on the road towards Kraig the Marienhof were counted as part of the Friesach suburb.

Klagenfurt suburb

Before the city was planned, St. Veit also extended southeast outside the city wall that was then built, around the area of ​​today's country road. The Church of St. Johann im Erlach existed near today's Evangelical Church from the early 13th century at the latest. The settlement was later called St.-Johannes-Vorstadt (1754).

In the 19th century, the Klagenfurt suburb consisted primarily of houses along Klagenfurter Strasse and individual buildings in the area of ​​today's Prinzhofer Strasse. Outside the closed development were the paper mill on the Glan, the lead white factory (used as a barracks after it closed at the end of the 19th century; today Funder Villa) and above on the road to Kollerhof the saltpeter plantation, on the loop near the mouth of the Wimitz and a little further down the Glan the city saw. In the area of ​​the lead white factory and the large marshalling yard built nearby, the name Glandorf was used from 1890.

Villacher Vorstadt

The Citizens' Hospital was founded west of the city in 1321 - the building complex is still preserved today - and two years later the Poor Clares Monastery was next to it. After the monastery church of Our Lady, the settlement that emerged there was initially called Our Women's Place . The term Franciscan suburb appeared in the 18th century; the monastery church became a Franciscan church in the 17th century. After the name Feldkirchener Vorstadt was also used in the early 19th century, the name Villacher Vorstadt finally prevailed . The Zeneggenhof trade headquarters , which was demolished in 2003, was also important there .

Völkermarkter Vorstadt

The Völkermarkter Vorstadt was the smallest and most recently mentioned of the five suburbs. In the 19th century it only comprised a few houses close to the city on what is now Völkermarkter Straße and far outside, near the Wimitz, Weyer Castle, the Rassnigmühle and the Abdeckerkeusche.

Weitensfeld suburb

Already in the 14th/15th. In the 19th century, the area of ​​today's Rechtsgasse and between Obermühlbacher Straße and Erlgraben ( Mühlbach ) was built on. There were trade headquarters in the Döber and, from the 17th century, a nobleman's residence. A military hospital or military hospital appeared here in the 18th century and, from the early 19th century, a bathhouse. The settlement was at times also called the Lazarettviertel or - after the Loretto Church, later the Calvary Church, built in the 17th century - as the Loreto Quarter or the Quarter under the Calvaryberg .

Structure according to counting districts

The community is divided into census tracts for statistical purposes. The census tracts 000 to 022 include the main town, the census tracts 030 and 040 the rest of the community. The boundaries of the census tracts do not coincide with the historical boundaries of the suburbs, even if their names are used:

Antiquity

There was a fort in Roman times on the Gratzerkogel am Zollfeld, on the southern edge of today's municipal area. In the 5th century a settlement was built in its place, which was abandoned around 600.

Founding of the city

The earliest indication of settlement in the area of ​​today's city in the narrower sense is the fragment of an early medieval Carolingian wattle stone, which can be seen in secondary use in the outer wall of the Karner near today's city parish church . According to legend, an invasion by the Hungarians in 901 was the reason for the founding of the city: Saint Vitus appeared to a Carantan duke named Rathold at a battle near Hungerbrunn north of today's city and gave him courage . After a victorious battle, the Duke had an alder thicket cleared on the battlefield and a church built on this spot, around which the city gradually grew.

A settlement initially emerged in the area between the location of today's parish church and the church of St. Johann im Erlach (which was near today's Evangelical Church), along what was then the course of the Mühlbach; At that time there was probably a stately court in the area of ​​today's city center. In 1122 the Spanheimers succeeded the Eppensteiners as Dukes of Carinthia ; St. Veit gained importance among them. Today's parish church was built. In 1147 Margrave Engelbert III sold. (Spanheim) gave the farm of St. Veit to the diocese of Bamberg , but the purchase was canceled soon afterwards. St. Veit quickly became the center of the ducal estates in Carinthia, which initially resided at the nearby Freiberg Castle , just outside the current municipal boundary.

Ducal residence, state capital of Carinthia

In the late 12th century, the seat of the dukes was gradually moved from Freiberg Castle to the town of St. Veit, which was named forum (market) in 1199. The place experienced its first heyday under Duke Bernhard von Spanheim (1202–1256), the son-in-law of King Ottokar of Bohemia . A school was mentioned in 1204. From 1205 onwards, the ducal mint stood in St. Veit (until 1725), where the oldest surviving coin with a German inscription was minted in 1220. In 1224 St. Veit received city charter with its own judge and twelve juries (councillors). Bernhard had city walls built and he built the castle in St. Veit, which was documented as a fort or palace , while there was a ring of castles on the hills around the city. Bernhard ran a brilliant court: he introduced the hereditary court offices of cupbearer, steward and marshal. In 1214 Walther von der Vogelweide stayed in St. Veit. In 1277 Ulrich von Lichtenstein fought in the tournament here. After the Spanheim family died out (1269), Meinhard II of Gorizia-Tyrol became duke in 1286. In the following uprisings in 1293, the castle and the city were badly damaged; the city walls were then renewed. The Citizens' Hospital and the Poor Clares Monastery were founded in the 1320s.

For the Counts of Gorizia-Tyrol, St. Veit was only a secondary residence. When the Duchy of Carinthia fell to the Habsburgs in 1335, St. Veit finally lost its importance as a residence, but the sovereign authorities were expanded: there were Hoftaiding and Landschranne , district judges, court masters and the sovereign vice cathedral in the city. Meetings of princes took place in the city in 1360 and 1374. From 1450 the place was referred to in documents as the “capital”. Between 1473 and 1492 there were five Turkish invasions of the city's surroundings, and in 1480 the suburbs were damaged during a siege by the Hungarians. In the 15th century, the nobility and clergy had become more important in the country; After their state troops, who wanted to put down a peasant revolt in northern Carinthia, were barred from passing through the city by the city of St. Veit in 1516, the state troops intervened with the emperor against the city. This led to Emperor Maximilian I handing Klagenfurt over to the estates in 1518 in order to weaken the importance of St. Vitus, and gradually Klagenfurt was expanded and took on the functions of a capital.

Reformation and Counter-Reformation; Iron, trade

In the 1520s, the prince's armory (later incorrectly called “Ducal Castle”) was built on the northeast corner of the city. Some castles near the city were rebuilt or expanded in the 16th century; in today's municipal area this applies to Weyer Castle, Karlsberg Castle, Stadlhof Castle, Niederdorf Castle and Kölnhof Castle. But the estate authorities gradually moved to Klagenfurt.

The dealers and trades remained in St. Veit. As early as 1362, Rudolf the Founder gave the city a meadow market , which still takes place annually today. From 1547 a mayor was elected annually. The country's first paper mill was built here in 1550 . In 1653 the city was granted another market, the “Cold Market”. However, the city's importance as a transport hub and trading center gradually declined because the route via Graz and Trieste became more important as a connection from the Adriatic to the Danube countries at the expense of the older connection via St. Veit and Tarvisio.

Even though Klagenfurt had become the seat of the estates, St. Veit continued to emphasize its role as a sovereign city. In St. Veit, the ecclesiastical Reformation movement of the 16th century had to contend with more resistance than in the surrounding area due to the Catholic sovereign influence. Around 1600 the citizens were forced to re-Catholicize; the satellite guard, which protected the monstrance at Catholic festivals and processions, became more important. In the 17th century the Franciscans were settled in the former Poor Clares monastery; The Maria Loreto Church was built above the city.

In 1399 the city received the right to mine iron from the Hüttenberger Erzberg , which allowed trade and thus the entire city to flourish. In 1578, a modern blast furnace was built by the St. Veitern in the Urtl near Guttaring .

The iron industry was promoted in the 18th century. In 1713 and 1715 the plague raged in St. Veit, and in 1747 the town burned down. In 1783, Joseph II abolished the city's trading privileges, which ultimately led to economic decline. The Josephine reforms also led to the end of the regional carving craft; Johann Pacher , Johann Georg Hittinger and their employees equipped many churches in Carinthia from St. Veit in the 18th century.

Railway

In 1830 the city only had 1,500 inhabitants, after having had up to 3,000 inhabitants in the Middle Ages. With the construction of the Rudolfsbahn in the 19th century and the beginning of the timber trade, an economic recovery began. The train station was initially built to the south, quite far outside the city, and led to the rapid growth of the Klagenfurt suburb at the end of the 19th century. In 1912 the new main train station was built in the east of St. Veit - in the Friesach suburb - and St. Veit became a “railway town”.

From 1850 until the outbreak of war in 1914 there was a permanent garrison in St. Veit, initially consisting of a squadron of lancers, then dragoons and finally hussars. They were initially housed in the city center; from the end of the 19th century in the then abandoned lead white factory in the Klagenfurt suburb.

In 1877 the Brothers of Mercy founded the hospital in the Weitensfeld suburb.

First and Second World Wars

After the First World War, the SHS state occupied large parts of Carinthia. Italian troops protected St. Veit from irregulars attacking from the south in June 1919. The Völkermarkt district administration was temporarily relocated to the unoccupied St. Veit, as was the seat of the Carinthian state government in the summer of 1919, which was only able to return to Klagenfurt in the late autumn of 1920.

National Socialists were active in the St. Veit area long before the annexation to the German Reich ; The future Gauleiter Friedrich Rainer joined the SA here in 1923 . As part of the National Socialists' attempted coup in 1934, around 900 armed men managed to take over the city. Afterwards there was heavy fighting around St. Veit, with 13 dead. During the Second World War, the library of the NSDAP High School was moved from Berlin to Tanzenberg Palace . There was also resistance to National Socialism, particularly among railway workers; Maximilian Zitter and nine other railway workers were executed in 1942.

Enlargement of the municipal area

The municipality, established as part of the administrative reforms after the revolution of 1848/49, initially only included the cadastral municipality of St. Veit an der Glan, i.e. the old town with its five suburbs. In 1958 the parish of St. Donat was added. This merger made it easier to supply the Glandorf settlement, which had grown rapidly over the decades on both sides of the border between the municipalities of St. Veit and St. Donat, next to the large marshalling yard and the Funder factory, with the necessary infrastructure.

In 1962, 12 hectares of land came from the municipality of St. Georgen am Längensee to the municipality of St. Veit; Due to the Glan regulation, the affected area (today the area around the house at Flussgasse 150) was only accessible from the St. Veiter area.

In 1972, the community of Hörzendorf , in which a central town was never able to emerge, was annexed to St. Veit. Among other things, the parish and school towns of Hörzendorf and Projern as well as Schloss Tanzenberg with its high school came to St. Veit. In 1973 a small part of the community of St. Peter am Bichl came to St. Veit. Through all of these expansions, numerous small villages were added to the municipality; The area of ​​the municipality of St. Veit increased fivefold within 15 years, but the number of inhabitants only grew by around a fifth due to the incorporations.

Present

At the turn of the millennium, the city initially tried to position itself as a “flower city”. Accordingly, the flower hall and flower hotel were built. On the other hand, an industrial center was built on the southern edge of the community, near Blintendorf. The settlement of companies such as Kyoto Solar and Greenonetec helped St. Veit gain a reputation as a “sunny city”.

A major challenge for the community is to maintain sufficient customer frequency for the shops in the picturesque old town despite the construction of numerous supermarkets, specialty stores and shopping centers on the outskirts of the city.

Population

According to the 2001 census [8] , St. Veit had 12,839 inhabitants, of which 92.5% were Austrian, 2.3% Yugoslavian and 2.2% Bosnian citizens.

74.0% of the population were Roman Catholic and 8.6% were Protestant ; 4.3% were of Islamic faith; Jehovah's Witnesses have a Kingdom Hall in St. Veit. 10.2% of the residents had no religious belief.

Old Town

The old town, measuring around 380 × 200 m, is surrounded by the largely preserved city wall . The houses in the old town almost all have medieval building cores; Many of the town houses around the two town squares have arcaded courtyards.

On the approximately 200 by 30 m main square there is the late Gothic town hall (a three-story, six-axis building with a keel arch portal, elaborately designed facade and arcade courtyard), a plague column (1715/16) and two fountains ( Vogelweide fountain and Schüsselbrunnen).

The Catholic parish church , first mentioned in documents in 1131, is a large choir tower church, late Romanesque in its basic features and late Gothic in its current form. The current exterior is the result of a major restoration following a fire in 1829. On the west wall there are several grave monuments from the 15th to 18th centuries. [9] The Karner St. Michael south of the town parish church at the former cemetery is essentially a Romanesque rotunda from the 13th century (mentioned in documents in 1275 and 1359) and was previously used as an ossuary . It has served as a war memorial since 1930.

The so-called Herzogsburg , actually a former princely armory, is used for cultural events (concerts, openings, theater).

Other urban areas

The former community hospital with the profaned hospital church , first mentioned in a document in 1321, is located to the west outside the old town in front of the former Villacher Gate.

The monastery church of Our Lady, southwest of the former community hospital, was mentioned in a document in 1323 as the church of a Poor Clares monastery founded by Konrad von Auffenstein and his wife Diemut. After renovations to the monastery, the church was re-consecrated in 1648 and restored in 1963/64.

The monastery, last owned by the Franciscans, was abolished by Emperor Joseph II in 1768, partially demolished in 1863 and now used for residential purposes. [10]

The Calvary Church of Maria Loretto , mentioned in a document in 1658, stands on a hill northwest of the city center.

The Evangelical Christ Church , a church building built in 1910/12 by Julius Schulte in the late Art Nouveau style with secessionist details and baroque elements.

The Kölnhof and Weyer castles on the north-eastern and eastern outskirts of the city are privately owned and are used as a business location and for residential purposes.

The main station is an elongated, one to two-story building in the late historical style built by Hans Granichstaedten between 1911 and 1913. The representatively designed terminal building has a steep roof, extended towards the main display side, with an ornamental gable and a projecting bell tower with an ornamental cornice and an octagonal lantern attachment. The iron construction platforms date from the construction period.

Rural area of ​​the municipality

In the villages belonging to the municipality there are the parish church of Hörzendorf , the parish church of Projern , St. Donat and the branch churches of Karnberg, St. Andrä and Streimberg; Roman stones and wattle stones are built into some of them.

The mighty Tanzenberg Castle, far to the south of the municipality above Zollfeld, dates back to a Renaissance castle with an older core, was renovated at the beginning of the 20th century and added a neo-Romanesque pillar basilica, and serves as a school building.

The ruins of Karlsberg Castle, hidden in the forest , are the only castle in the former castle ring around the city in today's St. Veiter municipal area.

The castles Niederdorf (Renaissance building from the 16th century), Karlsberg (built in the 17th century), and Stadlhof (expanded over an older core around 1780) are privately owned and used for residential purposes.

“Sunny City” St. Veit an der Glan

The Sonnenstadt St. Veit project began in St. Veit in 2010 . The city's policy vision was for St. Veit to achieve complete energy self-sufficiency through renewable energy by 2020 . In order to achieve this ambitious goal, construction began in 2010 on the largest photovoltaic power plant in Austria with an output of 1,500 KWp and an annual production of around 1.5 million kilowatt hours . The investment amount for this pilot project was estimated at 6.8 million euros. By 2013, a total photovoltaic area with an output of more than three megawatts peak was created in the urban area.

Coat of arms

The use of a seal for St. Veit has been documented since 1269 (mentioned on May 15, 1279), and is preserved in a document dated October 3, 1281. While in this version the city's patron saint is only depicted in a two-line inscription, a seal with the bust of the saint in an archway flanked by a pair of towers was used just a few years later. From the 16th century onwards, the depictions showed the city patron sitting in a cauldron with his hands folded, but in 1900 they returned to the old depiction from the late 13th century, which the city community formally accepted by resolution of the local council on July 4, 1961 .

The official blazon of the city's coat of arms is as follows:

“In the blue shield there is an archway flanked by two silver, black roughened (gridded), at the top with a double Romanesque tower with a simple water snake cornice in the middle and set with a golden ball, which has the bust of St. Vitus in a red surplice, white Shirt with golden (yellow) stole and golden halo encircles. The saint holds a large palm branch in his right hand, while his left hand is raised in blessing. Above the black, roughened (barred) archway, which has the inscription S. Vitus and is decorated with a gold ball, there are two gold stars.”

The flag is white-blue-yellow with an incorporated coat of arms.

On the eve of the Great War, Pula was an important military and strategic century of tremendous importance for the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy as its principal naval port and its fleet anchorage; the city was therefore fortified with a complex system of manned fortification constructions (forts,batteries,artillery companies and machine gun positions)that extended from the east to the west coast of Istria barring all accesses to the city.

In addition to the city's civilian population a large number of soldiers and highly skilled professionals in all sorts of fields working for the navy and the naval arsenal lived in Pula and so the Austro-Hungarian authorities, immediately prior to the First World War and during the War, began the constructions of an underground tunnel system(trenches,galleries and passageways) with communication passageways under the city's hills to shelter the city's population and to serve as ammunition stores. Not a single hill in the inner city was spared from drilling and digging! A widely spread network of undergrounds tunnels - shelters was created, with two of the largest under the hills Kastel and Monte Ghiro.

The Venetian fort on the hill of Kastel (Hafenkastell) served as a warehouse,barrack and observation post. In the fort's underground there are rooms that were used as men's quarters, as storage space for material and ammunition and as prison for the captured enemy soldiers.

Under the city hill - Kastel,there are two shelter tunnels, one is directly underneath the fort located on the top of the hill, and the second one is at the foot of the hill. It connects two inner city areas nod is approximately 400m long.

At the foot of the hill under the Kastel four entrances with passageways positioned on different sides of the hill lead towards a central space in the middle, where the passageways interconnect. The entrances are so positioned to enable a constant air flow to the whole system, and the temperature during the whole year varies from 14 to18 C. These tunnels,with its 3 to 6 meters wide and approximately 2,5 meters tall passageways, could accommodate about 6000 persons.

After the Great War the Italian rulers continued to use Pula's underground tunnels, they expanded them and added to them. After the Second World War they were designated as shelters for the civilian population and as emergency hospitals,and at that time new fallout shelters, popularly called "atomic shelters". where built to protect occupants from radioactive debris or biohazard. The fallout shelters can accommodate approximately 6000 persons, while the old tunnels can about 45000. The total capacity of all Pula's shelters is more than 50000 people, which is an impressive number, as it almost equals the number of the city's population.

Накануне Первой мировой войны Пула была важным военным и стратегическим центром для Австро-Венгерской Монархии как ее основной военно-морской порт ; поэтому город был укреплен сложной системой защиты (форты, батареи, артиллерийские и пулеметные точки) с восточного до западного побережья Истрии и прикывающей все подступы к городу.

В дополнение к гражданскому населению в городе жило большое количество солдат и высококвалифицированных профессионалов , работающих на флот и военно-морской арсенал. Австро-Венгерские власти, перед Первой мировой войной и в ходе её начали строительство подземной туннельной системы (траншеи, галереи и проходы) с коммуникационными проходами под холмами города, чтобы защитить население города и служить складами боеприпасов. Ни один холм в центральной части города не был спасен от рытья. Широкая сеть туннелей - убежищ была создана под двумя из самых больших холмов Кастел и Монте Жиро.

Венецианский форт на холме Кастел (Hafenkastell) служил складом, бараком и постом наблюдения. В подземельях форта есть комнаты, которые использовались в качестве казарм, места для хранения материалов и боеприпасов и как тюрьма для военнопленных.

Под городским холмом - Кастел, есть два туннеля убежища, каждый непосредственно под фортом, расположенным на вершине холма, и у подножия холма. Они соединяют два склона в центральной части города на расстоянии приблизительно 400 м.

У подножия холма под форт Кастел четыре входа с проходами, помещенными на различные стороны холма, приводят к центральному месту в середине, где есть перекрёсток. Входы так размещены, чтобы получилась система циркуляция воздуха, температура в течение целого года изменяется от 14 до 18 C. Эти туннели, с его проходами приблизительно 2,5 метра высотой и 3 - 6 метров шириной, могли разместить приблизительно 6000 человек.

После Первой мировой войны итальянские правители продолжали использовать подземные туннели Пулы, они расширили их и удлинили. После Второй мировой войны они определялись как убежища для гражданского населения и чрезвычайные больницы, а также были прокопаны т.с. "атомные убежища" в целях защиты жителей от радиоактивной или биологической опасности. Противорадиационные укрытия могут разместить приблизительно 6000 человек, в то время как старые туннели могут приблизительно 45000. Суммарная мощность убежищ всей Пулы - больше чем 50000 человек, которая является внушительным числом, поскольку она почти равняется числу населения города.

In addition to the zebra, there is an ostrich running around the ranch.

Ostrich eggs are huge, the shell is strong, and the scamble is noticably sweeter than chicken eggs.

My daughter found it when the ostrich made a funny noise and flapped a little right in front of her.

In addition to the growth being seen in Boston's Innovation District, another area of growth has emerged: Multifamily Residences. A new multifamily boom has hit Boston and its surrounding cities with projects like the Charlesview Apts. in Cambridge, Watermark II in Cambridge, Waterside Place in Boston, and Assembly Row in Somerville...just to name a few. In today's post we flashback to a major residential project that Cannistraro completed in the past; the Metropolitan Parcel C Project for Suffolk Construction. We'll keep you posted as to the progress of these new multifamily residences as time goes on.
