Name spelling

Czedik's title of nobility from Bründlsberg was often mistakenly written in Bründelsberg during his lifetime . The correct spelling was confirmed in the certificate, which was issued on August 9, 1897 on the occasion of the award of the second predicate and Eysenberg and personally signed by the kk Prime Minister Kasimir Felix Badeni .

Honors

Ernst Plener's obituary, published on July 20, 1924 in the Viennese daily Neue Freie Presse , is also remarkable in that the former German liberal politician and President of the Court of Auditors had not been alive for 15 months when the text was printed. According to an editorial note, he wrote this obituary for the then 90-year-old four years before Czedik's death.

Alois Czedik-Eysenberg was buried on July 24, 1924 at the Hadersdorf-Weidlingau cemetery (part of Vienna since 1938) in a family grave that had existed for the duration of the cemetery.

In Hadersdorf-Weidlingau, today Vienna- Penzing (14th District), was in the district Weidlingau the Czedik Alley (now Alois-Czedik Alley ) named near the West Railway to him and in Stockerau the Czedik Street . In 1882 he became an honorary citizen of Steyr. Today's westernmost Vienna river bridge, built in 1967 on the street named after him, is called Alois-Czedik-Steg.
