history

The Grenzland-Weinstrasse (L613) with the marked Austria-Slovenia border

The place name was first documented in 1265, it appears in due Wilans , 1425 as wilwez , 1430 as wilansch , means 'possession of Wieland', and testifies to the Bavarian settlement in the area, with a Slavic ending -ič for the genitive -s . The Slovenian form is Belič.

The Admont Abbey was the owner of the Wielitsch Office , to which the room belonged; it was donated by the von Stubenbergs in 1290 .

The Grenzlandstrasse is based on the Roman road Poetovio - Poedicum ( Ptuj - Bruck an der Mur ), which was also followed by the Alte Poststrasse Vienna – Trieste , and has always formed the eastern border with the rulership of Straß .

With the abolition of the manorial lords and the creation of local parishes from 1848 , the cadastral parish came to Ehrenhausen. On January 1, 1932, Wielitsch, Ewitsch and Zieregg - which had been separated from the larger Slovenian Ciringa / Zieregg after the breakup of Austria-Hungary and the demarcation in the Treaty of Saint Germain in 1919 - were combined to form the municipality of Berghausen , Wielitsch was its nominal municipality capital . With the Styrian municipal structural reform in 2015, the village came back to Ehrenhausen.

The border with Yugoslavia has been impassable here since the First World War . The Grenzland Wine Route, which partly runs directly on the border and leaves part of the Austrian territory on Wielitschberg, was made impassable by a private Slovenian landowner even after Slovenia joined the EU . In 2007 the road could be made drivable again.

Economy, infrastructure and culture

Viticulture is practiced in the village . The South Styrian Wine Route (here the L 613) is an important tourist route. The Berghausen – Svecina border crossing is on Wielitschberg , and the Platsch border crossing is near Zieregg . At the Riedel von Wielitsch, the Wielitscher-Höhenstraße (Wielitschweg) runs up from the Ratscherstraße .

In Wielitsch there is the carpenter's chapel (trench cutter chapel) . The rural baroque church was built by local farmers around 1870 and is dedicated to St. Michael . It was renovated in 2006/07.
