- Description
-
The name Sausal first appears in a document from 970, in which Emperor Otto I gave the area between the rivers Sulm and Laßnitz to the Archbishopric of Salzburg as a fief. The name "Sausal" is derived from the Latin "Solva silva" (Sulm forest). The place names Kitzeck or Steinriegel are not found in any medieval documents, but some of the cadastral parishes of today's Kitzeck are already mentioned in the land register of the Vizedomamt Leibnitz in 1322. The name Fresing (Katastralgemeinde) is recorded in the Ortsnamenbuch von Steiermark (1893) as one of the oldest villages.
