Fusine in Valromana ( German Weißenfels, Slovenian Bela Peč ) is a fraction of the municipality of Tarvisio in the Channel Valley in Italy . It was a political municipality in the Duchy of Krain until October 26, 1918 and, after being exchanged for the municipality of Seeland , belonged to Carinthia until September 1919 .
Origin of the name
The German place name Weißenfels is derived from the Weißenfels Castle, which was built above the Weißenbach (today: Rio Bianco).
The original Slovenian name of the place, derived from German, was Bajsenfeljž . In written Slovenian, this name became Bela Peč , a mechanical translation of the German place name. There is also the name Fužine , a Furlanic name for the iron processing that has been documented here since the 15th century.
After Weißenfels fell to Italy in 1919, the place name was initially changed to Roccalba , a literal translation of the German place name. For the current Italian name Fusine , the Furlanic idiom was used, but the place name in Valromana was added, which is topographically incorrect. The Römertal (Valromana) is actually about two hours' walk from the village of Weißenfels.
History and economics
Blacksmiths, trades and iron industry
In 1404, Count Friedrich von Ortenburg gave Bartolomäus Consuran the right to build a smithy there near the chapel of St. Leonhard. That was the beginning of the iron industry in Weißenfels (Fusine in Valromana).
After the sovereign territory had come into the hands of Count Cilli , the construction of the Weissenfels Castle took place in 1431 on the mountain that is now called "Castello" and where the ruins can still be seen , thanks to Count Friedrich II In 1456, due to the extinction of the Counts Cilli, the territory became the property of the Habsburgs , who let it be managed by an administrator until 1636 and then by ministerials . Around this time there were already several forges on the Weißenbach.
From 1540 the Caspar family was the owner of Fusine, followed by the Cavallar and Rechbach families.
The Cavallar and Rechbach families worked in Weissenfels for over a century, in 1716 on the construction of the Stückl castle - which was destroyed in a fire in 1961 - and the construction, perhaps before that, of the small castle that still exists today, which can be seen on the right side of Sees Tarvisio coming. These families ruled until 1775.
In 1862 the company Göppinger & Co produced steel chains without welding points and also other hardware with a German patent and as an industrial company it became a "global player" at that time. The company was founded after the First World War by the Piedmontese Dr. Segri, who employed 300 workers there in 1925. In 1976 the company reached a peak of 600 employees. In 1995 the company employed around 300 people.
In 1900 the community of Weißenfels consisted of the four districts Aichelten, Hinterschloß, Nesselthal and Weißenfels and had 714 inhabitants. Of these, 618 were German (87%) and 55 Slovenian (8%).
In autumn 1918, shortly before the end of the First World War, the German-speaking community Weißenfels including parts of the Slovene-speaking community Ratschach at the level of the Weißenfelser saddle , the watershed between the crown lands of Carinthia and Carniola, was exchanged for the Slovenian-speaking community Seeland . From then on, Weißenfels belonged to Carinthia, but had to be ceded to Italy by the Treaty of St. Germain in September 1919 .
From 1999 "Pewag Weißenfels International GmbH" united three brands under one roof: The former competitors Pewag , Weissenfels and KWB (Kettenwerk Brückl) had merged to form a group of companies.
Ancient servitude rights
Servitude rights in the large forests of Tarvisio and some alpine pastures with grazing rights in Fusine in Valromana, especially the valley basin in the south with the two lakes that go back to the Bamberg rule ( Archdiocese of Bamberg ), are made possible through the sale of the annual or permanent allocation as well the leasing of the pastures an additional income for the long-established community residents (community).
nature
The two Laghi di Fusine (Weißenfelser lakes; Belopeški, Mangartški, Fužinski or Klanški jezeri) under the north face of the 2677 m high Mangart attract countless tourists, and the mountains of the Julian Alps around the Weißenfelser lakes are a popular destination for mountaineers and trekkers . The upper lake has a variable area of 9 ha, the lower an artificially constant area of 13.5 ha. From the upper lake, a groundwater lake with artesian springs , there is an underground connection to the lower lake. The immediate area around both lakes and these are protected as a 45 hectare nature park Parco naturale dei Laghi di Fusine . Above the lake are the alpine pastures of the Weißenfels community. The total area of the pasture cooperative includes the entire valley basin with approx. 180 hectares of alpine pastures and 200 hectares of forest.
