Črna na Koroškem (German: Schwarzenbach) is a town in northern Slovenia. It is the seat of the Municipality of Črna na Koroškem. It lies in the traditional Slovenian province of Carinthia,[2] close to the border with Austria. Since 2005 it has been part of the larger Koroška statistical region.

History

A chapel at Črna in the Duchy of Carinthia was first mentioned in a 1137 deed. The name of the settlement derives from Slovene črna 'black' and was changed to Črna na Koroškem in 1970.[3] The German name Schwarzenbach means 'black creek'.

The settlement has a long ironworking history. A foundry was established by one Mehior Puc, who moved to Črna from the Lavant Valley in 1620, started mining iron ore and built two smelting furnaces, which were among the first in the Eastern Alps. This operation was sold to the Counts of Thurn-Valsassina from nearby Bleiburg in 1624, who built a new ironworking operation on the Meža River at Mušenik to the north of the town in the 18th century. After the Austrian Southern Railway company had built a railway connection to Klagenfurt and Villach at Ravne na Koroškem a few miles down the Meža River, the Counts of Thurn moved operations there and abandoned their ironworks in Črna around 1880.

The parish church in the town is dedicated to Saint Oswald. It is a Neo-Romanesque building erected in 1868 after the old church burned down in a fire.[4]
