Waiern is a town in the municipality of Feldkirchen in Carinthia . The cadastral community of the same name comprises eleven other villages belonging to Feldkirchen.
When the political communities in Austria were formed in 1849, Waiern was incorporated into the large community of Feldkirchen. The size of this community as well as the dominance of the Feldkirchen market within this structure prompted first Steuerberg and then Waiern to form an independent community in the following years : The Poitschach farmer and innkeeper Franz Huber, as a member of the state parliament, achieved that the cadastral communities of Tschwarzen, Rabensdorf , St. Ulrich and Waiern were able to break away from Feldkirchen in 1894 and form their own community. Huber was then first mayor of Waiern until his death in 1920. Waiern's independence lasted until 1963. By resolution of the state parliament (with a majority of only one vote) and against the will of the population, the municipal area was incorporated back into Feldkirchen on January 1, 1964.
There is a public hospital in Waiern, which is operated by the Carinthian Diakonie and which focuses on psychosomatic medicine. There is also a geriatric and internal medicine department in the house. Diakonie Waiern is the largest employer in the municipality of Feldkirchen with around 400 employees (including around 100 in the hospital).
Not far from the hospital is the Protestant church, built in 1852/53, a large historicist building with a strongly recessed round apse and a tower.
The Tschachitsch church ruins are located in St. Stefan ob Waiern, west of Turracher Straße .
