History

Several prehistoric finds in today's municipal area indicate several early settlements. So in Trefflinger moss a stone ax from the Neolithic period (3000-2000 BC) and in the Grit chess were a Lochbeil found. Also from the Trefflinger a Lappenbeil Moss was discovered from the Bronze Age, which is dated to about 1800-1750 BC. Numerous other vorantike finds come from the Hallstatt period. The first roll elusive population of Upper Carinthia are the Illyrians. Go to their Indo-European language mountain and river names like the Tauern or the Drava back, allsamt topographic units of a size at which a Romanize, Slavicization or Eindeutschung not made. From about 200 BC the area belonged to the tribal area of Ambidravi that " both sides of the Drau living ends ", a Roman name for the colonizing here Norican population, which emerged from the resident Illyrians and the new immigrant Celts.

Bottom is one of the richest ancient Fund places in the immediate vicinity of Teurnia. The leading through the Drau Valley Roman road Via Julia Augusta is crossed with the Lieser Lieser bridge and have in the area of ​​seabed street station, with the turn-off to Salzburg ( Iuvavum ) been had. F. Jantsch thinks because of the finds and the strategically important location at military installations and sets the temporal focus of the settlement in the first half of the 1st century AD It is believed that Rome for the first crossing of the Eastern Alps, the route through the Liesertal, on the Radstadt Tauern Salzburg and further took to the Danube. Past a pass Sanctuary on Wolf Mountain to the ford / bridge at the Brugger - house via the Seebach up on Kötzing to Gmünd there are many indications for the road from the station dealer in Baldersdorf at Molzbichl in the Drau Valley. By intensive Slavic settlement activity in the area in this period onwards, many place names testify in particular on the high plateau above Lake Millstatt. From the second half of the 8th century Bavaria occupy the area and begin a violent proselytizing and beat blazing revolutions bloodily. From the defense efforts testifies that company Trasischk that. " Guard point " where there must have been a fortified village against Bayern Around 800 the Emperor Charles the Great changed imputed Church proselytizing their strategy because they wanted to avoid a genocide like the recalcitrant Saxony. The bottom section of the population should be non-violent means of Taufkirchen converted to Christianity. Such is the John the Baptist gewidtmete Seeboden oldest church in Kötzing whose foundations we found in 1953 during the construction of a silo. Around the year 1000 Croatian armed peasants were settled by the Frankish Gau civic, as the name of the district suggests herb. You should probably check the remaining Slavic neighbors and protect the road. Around this time are gradually becoming German instead of the South Slavic as slang by.

By no later than 1237, the protective function of the reign Sommeregg is adopted, which included the territory of the present municipality. This was long in the possession of Ortenburgers, then passed to the Counts of Celje and then to the Habsburgs, mid 16th century, was acquired by the Khevenhüller and came after they had left Carinthia in 1629, 1651, based in Gmünd family Lodron. At this time Sommeregg was only awarded as a prince's fief, the year after castle and lordship went into private property of the Lodron about.

An early description of the area is from the Vienna mountaineers and Hofkammerbeamten Josef Kyselak (1799-1831), who in his Austria hike of 1825 Millstatt ago in the area was handed over: "One hour I strolled still on the fish-filled lake through the miserable villages Görtschach and Lerch village continued until it ended at Wirlsdorf. Marshy meadows, the wooden huts of the dirt -loving inhabitants hardly ertragend, are the constant sight of the alternating sinking on transition stairs Wanderers. "

The villages belonged to the lake bottom to the constitution of political communities in Carinthia in 1850 to the possessions of the Lodron family. Seabed and Treffling, 1850 still founded as an autonomous communities, joined together in 1870. Lieserhofen, however, was in 1850 the large village of Spittal connected but became independent in 1886. At this time also included the towns pier and Wolfsberg ( Fratres ) to Lieserhofen. On 1 January 1973 Lieserhofen was eventually incorporated to the sea bed.

From the early 1900's there for the area of seabed detailed descriptions twelve farmhouses, chalets and rural implements of Johann Reinhard Bünker. Originally from Seebach folklorist was a teacher in Sopron and spent a few summers at his brother, the pastor of Trebesing.

Until the late 19th century the lake shore was in contrast to the intensively farmed hinterland little appreciated. It was only as a result of summer fresh tourism, since the current seabed developed along the west bank of the places Grit chess, herb, rich and Wirlsdorf as the dominant center of the municipality. Originally, most of the towns agricultural communities with a small amount of commercial operations, but in recent decades, tourism has become the most important economic sector of the community. This also led to a continuous increase in the number of inhabitants. Because of this and the increased importance of regional seabed was raised in 2000 to the market town. In November 2011, the community name has been supplemented by the addition of " the Milstätter lake ".

From 1998 to 2010, the World Bodypainting Festival, one of the largest events of its kind, was organized in the sea bed. Since 2011 the festival will take place in Pörtschach am Wörthersee.
