Gigling is a district of Traunreut in the district of Traunstein im Chiemgau in Upper Bavaria .

geography

Gigling is just on the border with the Trauntal and borders in the east and south on the still large "seven oak forest". Like Katzwalchen, Lindach and Heiligkreuz, it lies on the fertile plateau east of Traun and Alz and, like the neighboring Anning with its burial ground from the Hallstatt and Laténe times, probably has a long history of settlement. The name can be traced back to the Latin proper name Julius, which is pronounced more like "Giulgius" and without ending to "Giulg" or "Giugl" and thus reminds of the spelling "Giuglio" in Italian. With the ending -ing Gigling means "Julius' clan". The Hochuferweg along the Traun from the south divided on the northern edge of Traunreut into the Tiefweg via Anning to Stein an der Traun and the Hochweg via Hochreit (= Hochweg), Gigling, Holzreit and Sieglreit, Hochschloss Stein, Roitham (= Straßenham) , Lindach or Nock - Altenmarkt etc.

history

It is worth mentioning the plague cross by Gigling in the Giglinger Moos on the Anninger Bachl, which for centuries marked the border between the Prince Archbishopric of Salzburg and Bavaria . This plague cross supposedly dates from the Thirty Years War . After the attack on scattered Swedes , the plague broke out and took the residents of Gigling and other villages away . The dead were buried in the boggy plague cemetery right on the old border. The territory of Salzburg was spared from foreign troops and acts of war throughout the war. Since 1806 the western part of the duchy of Salzburg , the Rupertiwinkel , belongs to Bavaria and the eastern part with Salzburg itself was added to Austria . Nevertheless, the hamlet of Gigling only consists of the two medium-sized farms Maier and Leitner and a Sachl .

Gigling belonged to the municipality of Stein –St.Georgen until the regional reform in 1978 . On May 1, 1978, the municipality was incorporated into Traunreut.

Ecclesiastically, Gigling belongs to the Catholic parish of St. Georgen , which as the so-called original parish was originally the parish of the Walchen, the Celto-Romans. Around the year 1000 people were still talking about the "Romani ad Truna", that is, the novels on the Traun. Since the Traun is derived from the Celtic god Taranis , the god of war, his successor in Roman times was god Mars , who was replaced by St. George in Christian times, the particularly prominent place of the church of St. Georgen is likely to be the head - the place of worship of the god Taranis. Temples from the Celtic period are not known. Accordingly, St. Georgen was also a court of law before the year 1000. With the founding of the monastery Baumburg as Augustinian Monastery St. Georgen was up to the secularisation of 1803 supervised by Baumburg and had so little development.
