The sustainable settlement of the former municipal area began in the Middle Ages. Local and domain names remind us of the Slavic settlement in the early Middle Ages and the Bavarian colonization in subsequent centuries. For the Trofaiach pool a Bavarian- Slav mixed population can be assumed until the end of the 12th century as safe. This is indicated by many geographical names. After the Slavic population disappeared through assimilation by the German -speaking majority population. Examples of place names of Slavic origin are: Krumpen of kronpa ( the little valley '), Rotz, medieval Recz of Rečica (, brook '), Treffning of trebiti ( grub up '), Trattning of trata ( Pasture corridor ') Laintal, medieval Lonktal of lonka (, meadow, meadow ').
