location

The Gosserhof in the center of Zedlach

Zedlach is located at the entrance to the Virgental on the southern flank of the Hintereggkogel, which is much flatter in this area than on its steep east side. The village, which lies high above the Isel running south and is located in the cadastral community of Matrei in Osttirol Land , can be reached from Matrei and Virgen via the Virgentaler Landesstraße. In addition to the village center, which is at an altitude of 1260  m , and the farms grouped around it, Zedlach also includes the more remote Zabernig farm. The northeastern Strumerhof, on the other hand, already belongs to the Hinteregg fraction . In the north of Zedlach, on the southern slope of the Hintereggkogel, there is also the Zedlacher Paradies , a larch pasture rare in East Tyrol with numerous larches that have been declared natural monuments .

history

Zedlach was settled at an early age and is one of the oldest settlements in the rear Isel valley. Objects that were found in Zedlach in 1890 probably come from a cemetery that was created at the same time as the one in Welzelach . The place was first mentioned in a document as early as 1020 as Cetulic , in 1022 and 1029 it was also mentioned as part of the Lurngau . Not far from the Zabernighof are the remains of the Dirnburg, which was located on the ridge between the Tauern valley and the Virgen valley .

The original place was divided into two town centers, which were grouped around a spring and a well as an upper drum and a lower drum. Due to its location away from the Matreier Markt, Zedlach developed its own character with its own alpine pasture, its own forest, its own meadows and a school. Due to the multiple distribution of property, however, farms repeatedly lost their viability and their residents were forced to migrate due to their plight. During the Second World War, the character of the clustered village, which was felt to be too densely populated, was also changed by amalgamation. As a result, the Kienzer, Veidler and Harpfer farms relocated and were rebuilt in other locations. The old houses were dismantled and used as lumber. From the second half of the 20th century, the original village appearance was also permanently changed by numerous new buildings.

Buildings

Holy Trinity Chapel

Holy Trinity Chapel

The Zedlacher Chapel has its origins in a vow after a major fire. It was built in 1715, but only consecrated in 1756 and rebuilt several times after it was built. It has an undivided, gothic exterior with an attached sacristy, a 3/8 end and a steep, wooden roof with a wooden gable. Inside, the ceiling is dominated by a barrel vault with stitch caps on consoles, and there is also a gallery. The altar dates from 1752 and was executed with double twisted columns, entablature and volutes. The altarpiece shows baroque images of the coronation of Mary by the Holy Trinity, in the essay there is a depiction of St. Florian and a sculpture of God the Father. Laterally attached figures from the 19th century show St. Joseph with baby Jesus and lily and St. Anthony of Padua . Furthermore, there are figural representations of St. Chrysanth , St. New Year's Eve , St. Sebastian , John the Baptist , Mary with Child and the Guardian Angel from the 18th century in the chapel. The Way of the Cross with well-preserved Rococo stations dates from the third quarter of the 18th century.

Zedlach elementary school

The school of Zedlach was built after the unification of the Windisch-Matreis court in 1814. After appointing their own teacher for the gang in 1815, the children were initially taught in the parlor of the Innerbartler farm. The classroom was only 5 meters square and housed 48 students, some of whom came from the neighboring factions of Bach, Mitteldorf, Mellitz and Hochsonnegg to attend school in Zedlach. In 1823 the district office approved the construction of its own school, which was designed as a single-storey wooden structure and served as a primary school for around 130 years. The classroom was now 48 m². After the Second World War - the school was attended by 30 students at that time - the village school had to be rebuilt due to the dilapidation of the school building. The new building was built between 1952 and 1954 outside of the core settlement in the style of that time with an official apartment. As a result, the number of pupils rose sharply and reached the highest number in the 1969/70 school year with 43 children.

After the access road was expanded in the 1970s, the children of the higher grades were taken to class in Matrei by school bus. Furthermore, the increasing emigration from the low mountain ranges and the general decline in the number of children led to a steadily decreasing number of students in Zedlach. As a result, only 11 children attended the village school in the 1994/95 school year.
