Leitach (also Bozner Leitach ) is a scattered settlement that is located at the exit of the Eisack Gorge east of the city center of Bozen . On the orographically right side of the Eisack - opposite Kardaun - it occupies a southern slope of the Rittner Berg . It belongs to the cadastral community of Zwölfmalgiegen and is located in the Bolzano municipality.

The location is an old wine-growing region and is determined by numerous wine yards . These include the Rieser, Trautmann, Mumelter, Partschon, Perl, Baumann and Grel farms. Traditionally , the Leitacher was mainly used to produce a red wine . The Leitach farmers' wine sales took place in the late Middle Ages and early modern times before the 14th century Leitacher Törl on the north side of the Bolzano cathedral parish church .

In the district court code of Gries- Bolzano from 1487, Jórg Obererlacher appears as his own district captain "zw sand Jórgen im Leitach" , who also functions as the princely tax collector . The “Nachtperschaft im Leitach zu Botzen” (neighborhood in the Bozner Leitach) emerged in 1525, in the context of the Tyrolean peasant revolts , as a cooperative village community with complaints directed to the Tyrolean sovereign.

The old ecclesiastical center is the little church of St. Georg in Wangg , which dates back to the early 13th century and was rebuilt after the war damage in 1957/58 .

The Kardaun hydropower plant, built in 1929, is also located in Leitach .
