Site of Carinthian Unity (Stätte der Kärntner Einheit)

site of carinthian unity site of carinthian unity Since 1998 the Landhaushof forms the location of the central memorial site of the German-nationalist and veterans associations – Kärntner Abwehrkämpferbund (KAB), Kärntner Heimatdienst (KHD), the Ulrichsberggemeinschaft (UBG) and the Österreichischer Kameradschaftsbund (ÖKB).
The memorial remembers the heroic defence of German Carinthia against Slovenia from the "Carinthian defence fight" up to today. Four broken-off pillars symbolise "freedom, encounter, unity and peace". The Ulrichsberggemeinschaft, for example, puts it this way: "Das Recht auf Selbstbestimmung der Völker erhielt uns die ungeteilte Heimat Kärnten" (The people’s right of self-determination preserved an undivided Carinthia for us). The site of the Carinthian Unity continues to be the stage for official German-nationalist ceremonies, such as the annual remembrance of the people's referendum of 10 October 1920. They serve to sustain anti-Slav sentiments, and to this day uphold a sense of Slovenian threat being posed to Carinthia – the most-used example being the purported Slovenian efforts to have bilingual town boundary signs erected.
