Bleiburg, Administrative district in Carinthia, Austria
Bleiburg sits near the Slovenian border, comprising twelve administrative subdivisions that form a cohesive regional governance structure in southeastern Carinthia.
The settlement gained prominence in 1369 when Habsburg dukes Albert III and Leopold III acquired Bleiburg Castle and granted the location official town privileges.
The annual Wiesenmarkt fair, established in 1393, brings together local residents every September 1st for traditional trade and community celebrations.
The district administration center processes essential documents including marriage licenses, business registrations, and local permits for residents of the region.
In 2010, Bleiburg installed bilingual German-Slovene street signs following a constitutional court decision, reflecting its position between two linguistic regions.
