San Leopoldo Laglesie ( German : Leopoldskirchen , Slovenian : Lipalja vas , Friulian : La glesie ) is a fraction of the Italian municipality of Pontebba in the Canal Valley in the Friuli-Venezia Giulia region .
location
The Leopold Church of the monarchy was the gateway to the valley. The historian Piemonte described the place with its 70 houses and the church as a typical Carinthian village scene. The place is about three kilometers east of Pontebba in the Channel Valley.
history
Laglesie San Leopoldo is an ancient settlement in the Channel Valley. In the Middle Ages there was already a hospice and refreshment station for those passing through here. The inhabitants lived from agriculture and cattle breeding. Every house had its wood purchase rights and grazing rights. The place was originally called Diepoldskirchen, after a possible founder named Dietbold. After foreigners corrupted the place name Diebholzkirchen, the place was renamed Leopoldskirchen (Lipala Ves).
After the First World War and the incorporation into Italy, the place was named San Leopoldo in 1919. In 1925 the independent municipality was incorporated into the greater municipality of Pontebba.
The most common names in Leopoldskirchen were: Franzil, Grilz, Karnel, Klaura, Kovatsch, Nagelschmied, Themel, Tributsch, Trink, Seger, Willenbart and Zimmermann.
language
Most of the residents spoke Slovenian as their mother tongue and also spoke German.
church
Bishop Otto von Bamberg donated the Church of St. Gertraud in Leopoldskirchen in 1106 or 1139. It was initially a branch church of Uggowitz , later of Pontafel .
population
In 1925 the place had 343 inhabitants. In 1939 with the option there were still 240 people. In 1995 150 people lived in Laglesie San Leopoldo. Today only a few Slovene- or German-speaking families live permanently in the village, although in many cases they are still the owners of the properties. Many families from the Canal del Ferro and the nearby Carnia have taken over their mostly small farms.
