Rodeneck ([ ˈrodɛnɛk ]; Italian Rodengo ) is an Italian municipality in South Tyrol with 1262 inhabitants (as of December 31, 2019) in the Eisack Valley , southeast of Mühlbach .

geography

location

The settlement area of ​​the community Rodeneck is located at altitudes between 750 and 1500  m, scattered on a low mountain range east over the transition from the Pustertal to the Eisack valley . In geographical descriptions, the municipality is accordingly sometimes assigned to one valley and sometimes to the other; However, due to its proximity to Brixen , it is assigned to the modern district community of Eisacktal . In the west, Rodeneck is bounded by the lower reaches of the Rienz and the Mühlbach reservoir . In the east, the municipality rises to the mountain ridge that carries the Rodenecker Alm and is part of the Lüsner Mountains , a subgroup of the Dolomites . There Rodeneck reaches its highest point just below the Astjoch at around 2100  m .

structure

Rodeneck consists of seven parliamentary groups . In the main town of Vill ( 885  m ; approx. 500 inhabitants) there are elementary school and kindergarten, town hall and library, the multi-purpose building "Haus Konrad von Rodank" and the fire station , Widum and parish church, a bank and an industrial area and the main attraction, Rodenegg Castle . Connected to Vill by a kind of ring road and each approx. 1 kilometer from the main town are the clustered village of Gifen ( 1000  m ; approx. 100 inhabitants), the street village of Nauders ( 980  m ; approx. 250 inhabitants) and that from a small town center and St. Pauls ( 860  m ; approx. 100 inhabitants). The road branches off between Vill and Gifen and leads to Spisses (approx. 80 inhabitants), a scattered settlement that extends southeast towards the exit of the Lüsner valley . A mountain road leads from Nauders up to the mountain hamlets of Ahnerberg (approx. 40 inhabitants) and Fröllerberg (approx. 70 inhabitants).

traffic

The main access to Rodeneck is from Mühlbach , where the well-developed state road 32 branches off from the Pustertal state road to ascend to the Rodeneck settlement terrace. Another approach is available from Lüsen , which is connected to Rodeneck by a narrow mountain road that goes up to close to Rodenecker Alm.

Population development

Today the community has almost 1200 inhabitants, a number that has changed only slightly in the last 200 years. In 1821, 933 inhabitants were registered, in 1900 there were 746, in 1961 893, in the 1991 census finally 1031 and at the turn of the millennium for the first time over 1100.

history

View over Rodeneck from the road to the Rodenecker Alm

Rodeneck place and farm names indicate a prehistoric or Roman settlement. This thesis is also supported by the discovery of the remains of “ wall castles ” that go back to the Middle Bronze Age (approx. 1500 BC). Traces of hunters' resting places (foreign flint and rock crystal splinters ) on the Rodenecker Alm even date from the Mesolithic Age (approx. 5000 BC). The settlement was first mentioned in documents as "Rotungun" in 1050 (as a place of donations to the bishop). It then appears for centuries in various word changes; the name "Rodeneck" was first mentioned in 1314. Rodeneck gained importance as its own jurisdiction far beyond the local borders. As the truce of Rodenegg Castle, the history of the place was always closely linked to the fate of the castle ; the residents were obliged to take care of the lord's maintenance and the maintenance of the castle, and for their part enjoyed many (above all tax) privileges. Since the beginning of the 19th century, Rodeneck has been run as an independent community , which has been administered by a community leader since 1822. The place went through difficult times in the First World War and in the following years of fascism and the ruthless Italianization . The municipality lost its self-government in 1926 and was subordinated to the municipality of Mühlbach . It was not until 1955 that the company regained its independence after a long struggle.

The specialist books of the Rodeneck court are in the South Tyrolean Provincial Archives (period 1528–1850).
