History

The area in which today's Lieboch located, belonged to pre-Christian times to the Celtic kingdom of Noricum and from the 1st century AD the Roman province of the same name. During the migration period in the 5th and 6th centuries prevailed - at least nominally - Ostrogoths and Byzantines and Lombards, over the remains of the still resident Christian keltoromanischen population.

After the withdrawal of most of the Lombards in 568 migrated into the now become defenseless country at the latest during the early 7th and 8th century and by Slavs ( Slovenes ) a, which were Christianized in the wake of Salzburg. The place name " Lieboch " could be from this " Slavic period " come and derived possibly from the Slavic word " ljüb " from, which means " sweet" means and could relate to the landscape. The Slavs followed, as they were becoming dependent on the Duchy of Bavaria, in the late 8th and 9th centuries, in turn, larger groups of Bavarians, who settled in the area around Lieboch ( Kainachtal ) - which is recognizable at the newly founded at this time villages with the typical Bavarian ending in " ing" (eg " Zwaring ", " fading", Söding "). Not later than the 12th century, the Slavic population was partly assimilated in and around Lieboch by this Bavarian immigrants or have been " Germanized ".

In the times of the Bavarian colonization of our country (9th - 11th century) the town center appears to have been extended to include other farms (including at today's Packer Street ). This was paralleled in the vicinity of the establishment of new settlements. In this way the present districts Schadendorf and Spatenhof emerged. Also the Kanzlerhof and the so-called Dörfl with the Muehlau probably written not long afterwards.

The first known written mention lovers ox dated to the year 1138. Although this probably is more concerned with the present-day town of St. Bartholomew in Liebochtal as around the present Lieboch, this item is marked a turning point. Lieboch at that time was owned by the archbishops of Salzburg. The farms of the place (at least 26 are in the Middle Ages detectable) came as a fief to various secular landlords. The immediate administration was temporarily well- established in Spatenhof Knights of Parneck.

A greater importance and population attained the place by building the Graz- Köflacher railway in the second half of the 19th century. As the railway lines separate to Köflach ( Köflacherbahn ) and to Wies - Eibiswald ( Wieserbahn ) in Lieboch, the place is a small railway junction. The railway company sold early 20th century land near the route to their employees, so that the settlement was continued.

In the 1930s, the river was Kainach purpose of flood protection regulated or straightened in the territory of the municipality Lieboch. This was accompanied by a loss of most of the then existing riparian forests.

The growing importance lovers Ochs went with the increased settlement of industrial companies associated in the early 1970s as a result of the motorway construction (South Highway ). Since then, the infrastructure (water, sewer, electricity, roads, yard, ... ) has been constantly developed and improved to meet the increased demands of time.
