Waidegg (formerly Weidegg ; Baidek in Slovenian ) is a place in the Gailtal in Carinthia with 227 inhabitants (as of January 1, 2020). Waidegg was an independent municipality until 1964 and is now part of the Kirchbach municipality .
geography
The municipality of Waidegg was in the Upper Gail Valley between Hermagor and Kirchbach. The Gailtal Straße (B 111), which connects the town with its neighboring towns, runs through Waidegg . The railway line of the Gailtalbahn has a stop in Waidegg.
history
The village got its name from a castle Waidegg on a hill above , the oldest documented mention of which dates back to 1288. It was destroyed for the first time around 1365 and again after being rebuilt in the middle of the 15th century, after which it fell into ruin, of which only a few remains of the wall can be seen today at Waidegger Bichl.
Waidegg was the center of the eponymous office of the Counts of Görz-Tirol in the 14th century . According to a document dated July 27, 1366, Hans von Reiffenberg received it as a fief from Count Meinhard after it had been withdrawn from his cousin and the fortress was destroyed in the process. A knightly family named itself after the castle, the first bearers of the name are known from the above-mentioned document from 1288 ( "fratres de Waydek" ). The Waidegger (Waydecker) moved their headquarters to Möderndorf Castle near Hermagor after the castle was destroyed in the 15th century . In 1458 Sigmund Waydecker received Möderndorf and goods in Waidegg and other places in the Gailtal from the Counts of Görz-Tirol as fiefdoms. The Waideggers remained, even if they were no longer resident in Waidegg, until the second half of the 17th century and belonged to the Carinthian estates .
The municipality of Waidegg, which was called "Weidegg" until 1957, existed as an independent political municipality until January 1st, 1964. On that day it was attached to the municipality of Rattendorf . During the Carinthian community reform carried out on January 1, 1973 , this community was added to the large communities of Kirchbach and Hermagor.
Waidegg parish church
The parish church of St. Thomas in Waidegg is a small, early baroque complex from the 17th century. The oldest documentary mention of a previous building at this point dates from 1485.
coat of arms
The municipality of Waidegg had a coat of arms from June 8, 1960 until it was united with Rattendorf on January 1, 1964. Due to the community name and the long-extinct noble family with coats of arms, it was obvious to adopt the coat of arms of the Lords of Waydeck, which is formed from simple herald pieces and can be proven by seals on documents from the years 1476 and 1478. The tinctures silver and black have been handed down in the heraldic books kept in the Carinthian regional archive today .
The official blazon of the coat of arms read: "Split triangular shield, heraldic right half of black and silver divided obliquely to the left, heraldic left half of silver and black divided obliquely to the right." The flag was black and white with an incorporated coat of arms.
