Bürgle in Dornbirn , District Hatlerdorf (district Mühlebach ), denotes a Rotte ( 582 m above sea level ) and a hill at the same place.
Origin of name
Bürgle is a term used several times in Vorarlberg for localities, in addition to Dornbirn there is also this name in Nenzing and Reuthe .
The exact origin of the name “Bürgle” in the Dornbirn municipality is not certain. The name is often referred to a small, castle-like building that is said to have stood here. However, neither a picture nor the location of this building is known for certain. Both the mere existence and the exact location of this Bürgles ( Vorarlbergian diminutive for “small castle”) were therefore the subject of numerous local history essays and discussions in the past.
history
On October 16, 1318, the Hohenems rulers under Ulrich von Ems bought the "Castle" (possibly on the Unterbürgle) and Gut Mühlebach from the "Nobles of Sigberg" near Göfis . The field name "Sigberger" can still be found on the Bürgle today.
According to tradition, the Bürgle was only used once for war purposes, when a hill with a cannon was built on 23 August 1796 as part of the Napoleonic wars on the Bürgle to control the crossing at the Dornbirner Ache.
In the “General National Calendar for Tyrol and Vorarlberg”, nine residential buildings and nine families with a total of 63 people are counted on the Bürgle in 1825.
Topography, geography, location and traffic
The term "Bürgle" refers to the hill itself on which the settlement parts of the same name are located. This is divided into Unterbürgle and Oberbürgle. In " Schematismus für Tirol und Vorarlberg " (1839) the Bürgle is mentioned as an independent hamlet and part of Dornbirn. Also in the " Provinzial-Handbuch von Tirol und Vorarlberg for the year 1847 ".
The Bürgle is delimited to the north by the Dornbirner Ache and to the south by the Mühlebachtobel, through which the Küferbach (also called “Mühlebach”) flows. In the west it borders on the district of Mühlebach, to which the Bürgle is also partially included. There is no precise demarcation to the east, the Bürgle extends to the Bürgler Viehweide (approx. 660 m above sea level ) and borders the "Enz" plot.
The Bürgle is easily accessible with normal motor vehicles from the Mühlebach district. The populated parts of the hill are approximately between 500 m above sea level. A. and 600 m above sea level A. The route of the Karrenseilbahn runs over the Oberbürgle .

Despite the historical importance of the Bürgle for Dornbirn and its outstanding topographical position, no significant commercial infrastructure has developed here. Agriculture, which was once important for the entire district of Hatlerdorf, still dominates here. Viticulture used to be practiced on the Unterbürgle.
Hiking, sport, religion
Popular hiking trails lead over the Bürgle to Karren and Staufen, Breitenberg, Brentenkopf and other surrounding mountains and hills.
In 1965 the “Bürgler night slalom” took place.
