Alkus is a fraction and a cadastral parish of the municipality of Ainet . The village is located high above the Iseltal on the southern slopes of the Schobergruppe in the Lienz district in Tyrol , Austria and has 47 inhabitants (as of January 1, 2020).
geography
Alkus consists of the Rotte Unteralkus ( 1151 m above sea level ) with the Josefskapelle, the Rotte Oberalkus ( 1284 m above sea level ) with the Marienkapelle and the individual farms of Dabernig, Genischger, Gander, Erharter (Unterlassnig) and Pirker. The place can be reached from the valley floor via Gwablstraße (L 322) and the Gwabl fraction .
history
The place name Alkus was mentioned in documents as early as 1206 as in monte Alcus . The name of the fraction was also transferred to the Alkuser See , the Alkuser Scharte, as well as alpine pastures and mountain meadows. The origin of the name Alkus cannot be clearly proven. Due to the older spelling of “old Gose” or “old gases”, some name researchers interpret “alkus” as old gases , which in turn would derive from the Latin casa .
Alkus was until 1939 an independent community consisting of the hamlets Außeralkus , Oberalkus , Unteralkus , Unterlassnig and Oberlassnig . While the individual farms could once be grouped under the hamlet of Ausseralkus, Ober- and Unterlassnig once formed the north-western part of Alkus. Today, however, Oberlassnig is uninhabited and from the hamlet of Unterlassnig, which once comprised three houses, only the Erharter farm remains.
After the National Socialists came to power, the communities of Ainet, Gwabl and Schlaiten were combined to form the community of Ainet. While the community of Schlaiten regained its independence in 1949, Gwabl and Alkus remained with Ainet. In 1890, Alkus consisted of 21 houses with 140 residents. By 1923 the number of buildings increased to 32 while the population decreased to 118. In 2001 the parliamentary group comprised 21 buildings with 17 households. The population was 81 people. There were 16 agricultural and forestry facilities.
