Wolfsberg, Administrative center in Carinthia, Austria
Located in the Lavanttal Alps near the Koralpe mountain range, Wolfsberg extends along the Lavant River covering 279 square kilometers of terrain.
The medieval Duchy of Carinthia included Wolfsberg, which received its town privileges in 1331 from Prince-Bishop Werntho Schenk von Reicheneck.
The town experienced significant religious changes during the Protestant Reformation as a center for Lutheranism before facing pressure during the Counter-Reformation period.
The administrative division manages multiple postal codes, including 9400 and 9431, serving different districts and ensuring efficient mail distribution across 65 villages.
Count Hugo Henckel von Donnersmarck transformed Wolfsberg Castle in 1846, rebuilding it in the Tudorbethan architectural style that sets it apart.
