St. George in Wangg

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

St. George in Wangg is a South Tyrolean church in Leitach , a local Ried of Bolzano near Cardano . The church is located at an elevated valley edge on a vineyard hill above the exit of the Eisack Gorge .

The church is first documented in a Bolzano deed of April 2, 1223 as "ecclesia sancti Georii ... in Banco" . In the register of the Bolzano notary Jakob Haas from 1242 a light foundation at the "ecclesia sancti Georii de Banco" is attested. The church is in total Tyrolean Urbar Count Meinhard II. Of 1288 as "ze Panche of Georien" named because of the sovereign possessed here on taxable property.

The original, single-nave building with a detached, straight-end choir had a tower that was attached to the former round apse . The apse fresco from 1473–1474, which is now lost, came from the Bolzano painters Bernhard and Jakob. During the Second World War , the church near the Brenner railway line was almost completely destroyed by air raids in 1944 and replaced in 1957/58 by a simple new building designed by the architect Erich Pattis .

In the district court code of Gries-Bozen from 1487, Jórg Obererlacher appears as his own district captain "zw sand Jórgen im Leitach" , who also functions as the sovereign tax collector .

From the years 1545 to 1797 there are 87 account books of St. Georg i. Wangg in the Bolzano city archives (Hss. 759-857), which were kept by the respective church provosts .
