The Volksabstimmung referendum of 1920 is a foundational moment in Carinthian identity, deciding state borders between Austria and Yugoslavia. Its anniversary has been marked since the 1950s as an official state holiday, featuring acts that stress unity among the German- and Slovene-speaking communities. The day reflects Carinthians’ historical resilience and bicultural cultural heritage.
