Glödnitz (Slovene: Glodnica) is a municipality in the district of Sankt Veit an der Glan in the Austrian state of Carinthia.
Geography
[edit ]
The municipal area stretches along the densely forested valley of the Glödnitz river, a tributary of the Gurk, in the northwestern Gurktal Alps. The Flattnitz Pass in the north leads to the Mur valley in Styria; Glödnitz also borders on the Carinthian municipalities of Metnitz, Weitensfeld im Gurktal, Deutsch-Griffen, and Albeck.
History
[edit ]A Roman road across Flattnitz Pass already existed in ancient times, possibly including a mansio in the Glödnitz area. The settlement of Glodati was first named in an 898 deed. A chapel donated by Saint Hemma of Gurk was mentioned in 1043, it was later rebuilt as the present-day St Maragaret parish church. In medieval times, large estates in the area were held by the Bishops of Gurk, who also had a filial church erected near Flattnitz Pass.
