Geography
Dietweis is north of the cadastral community of Heidenreichstein. Dietweis borders in the northeast the municipality and eponymous cadastral community Eggern, in the northwest the municipality and cadastral community Eisgarn, and in the east the locality Pengers in the cadastral community Reinberg-Heidenreichstein of the municipality Eggern.[1] As of April 1, 2020, the village comprised 45 addresses. The highest elevation of the municipality is 614 m above sea level, on the border with the municipality of Eggern.
History
The village name derives from the Old High German personal name "Diotwin." Dietweis was first documented in 1369.
The village became a cadastral community in 1784. In 1822 it was mentioned as a village with fifteen houses, whose residents belonged to the parish of Heidenreichstein, where the children also attended school. The Heidenreichstein lordship had the Local Authority, exercised district jurisdiction [de], and handled Conscription. The Subjects and Serfs of the village belonged to the lordships Heidenreichstein and the parish of Heidenreichstein.[citation needed][2] With 106 inhabitants, the village joined the political municipality Eberweis [de] in 1850 and became an independent municipality after the separation in 1925. In 1934 it had 150 inhabitants, and in 1939, 129.
In 1890 a new chapel was inaugurated, which received a new bell in 1933 and was renovated in 1954 and 1964–1966. According to the Address Book of Austria [de], in 1938 there was a tavern owner and some farmers with direct sales in the village of Dietweis.[3]
In 1939 there were plans to incorporate the village into Heidenreichstein, but they failed due to local resistance. A merger with the municipalities Eggern, Reinberg-Litschau [de] and Reinberg-Heidenreichstein [de] was also rejected in 1967.
Finally, on 1 January 1970, based on a municipal council resolution, the village was incorporated into the town of Heidenreichstein. In 2001, 145 people lived in the locality.
European Watershed
The European Watershed passes through the neighboring village Motten [de]. Dietweis is thus the last village whose streams flow exclusively westward via Heidenreichstein – Braunaubach into the Elbe and eventually the North Sea. From the neighboring Motten onwards, part of the waters drain eastwards into the Thaya and via Morava and Danube into the Black Sea.
