This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 3.86.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 01:01, 24 April 2026.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

[[File:Karte Werdenberger.png|thumb|Territories of the counts of Werdenberg, Werdenberg-Sargans and Montfort in the 14th century]]
[[File:Werdenberg ZW128.png|thumb|upright=0.6|Coat of arms from the [[Zürich armorial]]. The heraldic charge is a [[Gonfanon]], derived from that of the [[counts of Tübingen|Tübingen]] and [[Counts of Montfort (Swabia)|Montfort]] coats of arms. ]]

'''Werdenberg''' was a county of the [[Holy Roman Empire]], within the [[Duchy of Swabia]], situated on either side of the [[Alpine Rhine]], including parts of  what is now  [[canton of St. Gallen|St. Gallen]] ([[Switzerland]]), [[Liechtenstein]], and [[Vorarlberg]] ([[Austria]]). It was partitioned from [[Counts of Montfort (Swabia)|Montfort]] in 1230. In 1260, it was divided into Werdenberg and [[County of Sargans|Sargans]].

==History==
It is named for [[Werdenberg Castle]], today located in the municipality of [[Grabs, Switzerland|Grabs]] in the Swiss canton of St. Gallen, seat of the counts of Werdenberg (''Werdenberger''), 
The family was descended from count Hugo II of [[Tübingen]] (d. 1180), who married Elisabeth, daughter of the last count of [[Bregenz]], thus inheriting substantial territory along the [[Alpine Rhine]]. His son was Hugo I of Montfort (d. 1228), whose son Rudolf I is considered the founder of the  Werdenberg line. 
Rudolf's sons Hugo I of Werdenberg-Heiligenberg and Hartmann I of Werdenberg divided the southern territory of the Montfort inheritance, establishing the two lines of ''Werdenberg-Heiligenberg'' and ''Werdenberg-Sargans''.

In 1308 Werdenberg was further divided into Werdenberg-Heiligenberg ([[Linzgau]]) and Werdenberg-Werdenberg. The [[Vaduz]] line of Counts of Werdenberg died out in 1406 and  Vaduz passed to the Barons of [[Brandis]].

The family fractured further into a number of cadet branches. The line of Werdenberg-Heiligenberg-Sigmaringen-Trochtelfingen remained influential in the early 16th century in the context of the [[Swabian League]] but was extinct in 1534.

The Werdenberg feud (''Werdenbergfehde'')  was a major series of [[feud]]s between the 
Werdenberg and their neighbours in the late 15th century, most notably their conflict with the [[von Zimmern]] family of Swabia.  The feud between the lords of Werdenberg and of Zimmern escalated in 1488, rising to an importance above merely regional concerns, influencing  the imperial policy of [[Maximilian I, Holy Roman Emperor|Frederick III]] and [[Maximilian I, Holy Roman Emperor|Maximilian I]] regarding the formation of the [[Swabian League]], the [[Imperial Reform]]s and the history of the [[Old Swiss Confederacy]].
