Wildon (German: [vilˈdoːn]) is a small town located between Leibnitz and Graz in the Austrian state of Styria. The modern village of Wildon was first mentioned in 1219. It was mainly known due to a minstrel called Herrand von Wildonie, who lived during the 13th century and was also engaged in local politics. According to legends, Wildon received its name from a wild man who was living in a cave on the nearby Schlossberg hill. Legend has it that a woman living in the village went up to the cave, and killed the wild man with a pair of knitting needles so that the villagers could then go up and enjoy the cave. A medieval ruin is also situated on that hill. The nearby municipality Allerheiligen bei Wildon received its name because of its proximity to Wildon. More information...
