The gunmakers of Ferlach


Ferlach was fi rst mentioned as Vörelach in a 1246 deed, named after the Föhre (pine) tree. An ironworks and a forge since the 15th century, Ferlach was known for its fi rearm manufacturers as early as 1551. In 1751 Empress Maria T eresia placed orders for fi rearms with the local manufacturers and approved the establishment of a ‘gunsmith rifl e corps’. Ferlach’s links to the nobility of Austria were strengthened in 1807 when Emperor Franz 1 visited the Ferlach Armoury. Gunsmithing in Ferlach then moved on apace; in 1861 the Rosentaler Rifl e Club opened, in 1978 the State College of the Gun Industry was established, and in 1887 a co-operative gunsmiths was established, which was eventually wound up in 2004. As recently as 1968 a new secondary school and a vocational school for gunsmithing were formally opened. Ferlach received its town status in 1930 and today it is a centre for the production of hunting rifl es. T e history of the town is depicted in its coat of arms, which features a pine tree with a cone, two crossed silver nails and a rifl e.
