Carniolan Industrial Company and Tržič

Abstract

The paper presents the forest property and ironworks in Tržič between 1873 and 1891, when they belonged to the Carniolan Industrial Company. In 1873, the ironworks were in poor condition. The reason why the Carniolan Industrial Company bought them was the extensive forest property because it required huge quantities of charcoal for its metallurgical production. When the company built modern steelworks plants in Jesenice, it needed less charcoal and decided to sell the forests. In 1891, the Tržič forest property was bought by Baron Julius Born.
