A Roman road across Flattnitz Pass already existed in ancient times, possibly including a mansio in the Glödnitz area. The settlement of Glodati was first named in an 898 deed. A chapel donated by Saint Hemma of Gurk was mentioned in 1043, it was later rebuilt as the present-day St Maragaret parish church. In medieval times, large estates in the area were held by the Bishops of Gurk, who also had a filial church erected near Flattnitz Pass.
The medieval church on the Flattnitzer Höhe.
The Glödnitz municipality was established in 1850. Since the 1920s the former agricultural area is increasingly shaped by tourism, especially in winter.
