history

Aldein is first mentioned in the late 12th century (1177–1185) as "Aldin". The parish church, consecrated to Saint Helena , is mentioned for the first time in 1309 in legal records, which also prove its position as an important landowner on the Regglberg and in the Bozen Unterland. The fact that contracts were signed in the church's cemetery in the 14th century also speaks for the importance of the church's settlement center. Today's church rests on a previous Romanesque double apse building.

Aldein belonged to the county of Tyrol and thus to Austria-Hungary until the end of the First World War . Within Tyrol, Aldein was assigned to the Neumarkt judicial district , which in turn was part of the Bozen district . With the Treaty of Saint-Germain in 1920 Aldein came to Italy together with most of Tyrol south of the main Alpine ridge . When the two provinces of Bolzano and Trento were established in these formerly Austrian areas in 1927, Aldein, like some other surrounding communities, was added to the predominantly Italian-speaking province of Trento. It was not until 1948 that Aldein was incorporated into the province of Bozen or South Tyrol.

education

In the municipality of Aldein there are two German-speaking primary schools in the main town of Aldein and in Radein, both of which are connected to the school district of the neighboring municipality of Auer.
