Klagenfurt was founded by Duke Bernhard von Spanheim (ca. 1181–1256) across the commercial routes in the area. His mother was from the Babenberg family and he reigned from 1202 to his death. In the following centuries, Klagenfurt suffered fires, earthquakes, and attacks from the Ottomans. In 1518 Emperor Maximilian I, unable to rebuild it after the fire, ceded it to the nobility of the Duchy. The new owners brought about an economic renaissance. During the Counter-Reformation from 1600 the Protestant noble families and burghers had to leave the town, which led to an economic decline of the province in the 17th century. In 1787 the prince-bishop transferred his seat from Straßburg (Pöckstein Castle) to Klagenfurt. In 1809, the French troops under Napoleon destroyed the city walls. In 1848/1849 Klagenfurt became the political centre of Carinthia. Klagenfurt Monument to Duke Bernhard von Spanheim Monument to World War I Nadia near monument to World War I During the 19th century, the city developed into an important centre of Carinthian Slovene culture. By the late 19th century, however, the Slovene cultural and political influence in Klagenfurt had declined and by the end of World War I, the city showed an overwhelmingly Austrian German character. In October 1920 the majority of voters decided to remain part of Austria. Dragon fountain In the 13th century it was thought that a dragon in Klagenfurt caused floods that destroyed crossings and threatened travellers along the River Glen. A duke offered a reward for anyone who could capture it, and a brave young man caught the dragon. A fountain was added in 1624. Rathaus Landesmuseum Street decoration A Kurdy computer engineer from Syria became restaurant manager in Klagenfurt Visit of the Empress A statue of Empress Maria Theresa (1717-1780) was constructed of lead in memory of her visit to the city in 1765. It was removed in 1870 due to a serious damage and a replacement was constructed of bronze in 1873. Maria Theresa statue in the Main Square CityHotel Ratheiser Owner is a monarchist.

Klagenfurt at the extreme right of Wörthersee Nadia at Wörthersee Minimundus Park Minimundus is a miniature park in Klagenfurt constructed in 1958 displaying about 160 miniature models of architecture from around the world, built at a ratio of 1:25. ALTHOFEN Althofen is half an hour by train from Kalgenfurt. In 1230 it became an important trading venue mainly for Noric steel from the nearby mines of Hüttenberg. In 1897 the local ironworks were purchased by Baron Carl Auer von Welsbach (1858–1929) to house the Treibacher Industrie to manufacture ferroalloys for the steel and foundry industries, powders for the carbide industry, materials for high performance ceramics. In 1998, Auer Museum was founded in the town.
