Allitz is a fraction of the municipality of Laas in South Tyrol . Allitz is located in Vinschgau on the orographic left , northern side of the Adige Valley .

Alicrz, Arlitz, Allitz, Liz and Alitz are former spellings of what is now the third largest fraction of Laas. Allitz was an independent municipality until 1929. The village is located at the entrance of the Gadriatales , at the foot of the Sonnenberg , and consists of the center Unterallitz and the eight farms called Oberallitz, which are spread up to 1754 meters on the slope of the Sonnenberg. They are:

  • the two cemeteries
  • the Unter, Mitter- and Obertröghof
  • the stift yard (or donor)
  • the Strimmhof
  • the Platzlfoar

The old farmsteads, as “ten farms interested”, are joint owners and users of the large Tröger forest and valley forest as well as the alpine pastures on the Upper and Lower Mountain. The craft families who settled by the stream originally had no pasture and wood rights.

The Oberallitz fields were not irrigated in earlier years and were used for growing grain. In good years, 800–1200 star grain were harvested on the larger farms . Today there is a dairy farm. In Unterallitz, in addition to grassland farming, there is now also fruit and vegetable cultivation, the cauliflower fields extend into the meadows. In autumn 1987 550 head of cattle were kept in Allitz. There were only horses in Oberallitz.

In 1968 the road from Laas to Allitz was expanded and in 1970 it was asphalted to Tanas .

There are several small churches in Allitz:

During storms, Allitz was repeatedly threatened by the Gadria mure . As a result, the new "Lahngröbm" was built in the years 1888-1892, and the 16 hectare "Allitzer Waldele" was also reforested as a protective forest . The dam at the confluence of the Strimm and Gadriabach rivers was only built in 1975 by the South Tyrolean torrent control.
