Waltensburg/Vuorz is a municipality in the district of Surselva in the canton of Graubünden in Switzerland. ==History== Waltensburg/Vuorz is first mentioned in 765 as ''Vorce''. The German name of Waltensburg is first mentioned in 1209 as ''Waltramsburg'', which was an older name of the castle ''Jörgenberg''. While the Romansh speaking population used the older, Romansh name of Vorce (meaning: a river fork) the former name of the castle moved to include the village. At about the same time, the castle came to be known as Jörgenberg from the name of the nearby early medieval fortified Church of St George.〔 In the Middle Ages, the nearby settlements on Ladral () and Jörgenberg belonged to Waltensburg. In the area surrounding Waltensburg/Vuorz there are three other medieval fortresses, Grünenfels ((ロマンシュ語:Chischlatsch)), home of the Freiherren of Grünenfels in the 13th Century, Kropfenstein and Vogelberg ((ロマンシュ語:Cafoghel)).〔 In 1734 the municipality of Waltensburg, which at that time included Rueun, Siat, Pigniu, Andiast and Schlans, bought the last rights of the Jörgenberg fief. The parish church of St. Leodegar is first mentioned in 1241. The parish of Waltensburg included Andiast until 1526, when Waltensburg was the only municipality in the ''Bündner Oberland'' that converted to the Reformed faith. A procession from Roman Catholic Andiast through Waltensburg toward Rueun in 1682 started the ''Fahnenkrieg'' (Flag War) in the valley. Until 1963 the municipality was financially stable from water and forest use taxes and did not have property taxes. However, starting in 1961 many of the small farms began to combine into a few larger operations which led to the emigration of many farmers to Ilanz, Domat/Ems and Chur. The growth of tourism in many Romansh villages has brought some of this population back. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Waltensburg/Vuorz」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
