Atzwang ( Italian Campodazzo ) is a village with around 40 inhabitants in South Tyrol and a fraction of the municipality of Ritten .

Atzwang occupies a small widening of the southern Eisack valley , here shaped like a gorge by the Eisack . The few houses are on the western, orographically right-hand side of the valley at the foot of the Renon .

Black Eagle Inn

The location is first mentioned in the imbreviatur of the Bolzano notary Jakob Haas in 1242 as Azzewanch . The toponym means "meadow of an Azzo". In a traditional note of the Bishopric of Brixen approximately 1270/80 a Irmgard von Longostagno wife is the Eblin de Azwange testified. In 1288, a farm at Atzwanch in the prince's total arable was designated by Duke Meinhard II of Carinthia-Tyrol.

The Brenner State Road leads through the village. There used to be a stop for the Brennerbahn here , but since the Schlern Tunnel went into operation it has been running in the mountain on the other side of the valley. The old railway line is now part of the Eisack Valley Cycle Route . A viaduct of the Brenner autobahn is also named after Atzwang, but it is located on the opposite side of the valley in the municipality of Völs am Schlern .

There are a considerable number of listed buildings in the small village, including the Hochatzwang residence built by Johann von Atzwanger around 1550 , the Schwarzer Adler inn, the Atzwang bridge over the Eisack and the parish church of St. Josef.
