The Bindergasse ( Italian Via Bottai ) is one of the oldest streets in the city of Bolzano .

history

Around 1210, about 30 to 40 years after the establishment of the urban market settlement of Bolzano , the Lords of Wangen (the brothers Albero and Bertold) initiated an expansion of the city on their land in the east and northeast of the episcopal market. Her brother Friedrich von Wangen was then Bishop of Trento . In this way, the gentlemen of Wangen were able to secure lower jurisdiction for the new suburb. Bindergasse was laid out with today's Vintlerstraße and the eastern front of today's Weintraubengasse, probably around 1215. The Bindergasse was called the front street . After the amalgamation of the episcopal old town and the two suburbs, the name Wangergasse prevailed, which was later reinterpreted as Wagnergasse (after the trade of Wagner ). The total Tyrolean Urbar Count Meinhard II. Of 1288 recorded princely possessions in the gazzen men Beraldi de cheek , the Office for Gries is expected. In the year 1297 the street is called contrata dominorum de Wanga in the city documents , 1403 as Wangergazze and 1499 as Wangergassen . Probably not until the 18th century, the Bindergasse (- designated "tie" the occupation of [barrel] after in Bolzano as was made Wagnergasse Cooper ).

There were several inns in Bindergasse very early on, the oldest being the “Pfau”, which recently only operated as a bar and was finally closed in 2009. Thus, according to their own statement, the “White Horse Inn” in Bindergasse is the oldest inn in the city of Bozen. Other historic restaurants in Bindergasse are the "Eisenhut" restaurant and the Hotel Mondschein. These can also be recognized by the historical pub signs; the nasal shield is also the only one that reminds of the former “zum Schlüssel” inn.

The former sovereign office building

Under King Maximilian I , the Prince's Office was built at the northern end of Bindergasse around 1500 . According to Beda Weber , Maximilian occasionally used the house as a residence. The post office was later set up in the office building, and in autumn 1850 the post office became the post and telegraph office. In 1890 the post office was moved to the new post office opposite the parish church, where the main post office and the Bolzano branch of the post office are still located today. The building opposite the office building belonged to the diocese of Augsburg around 1600 and was named St. Afra House after its patroness . In 1803 it passed to the then Bavarian rulership, which had the Bozen prison set up there. The freedom fighters Andreas Hofer and Peter Mayr were also briefly imprisoned here in 1810 . The house, which was largely destroyed in the Second World War, was rebuilt true to the original, but the deep cellars survived the bombardment unscathed.

At the northern end of the street was the so-called Vintlertor , first mentioned in 1273 , where Zollstrasse (today Andreas-Hofer-Strasse ) meets from the Zollstange and Weggensteinstrasse from the “Malgrei” (districts) of Dorf and St. Peter. The Weggensteinstraße was mainly used by the Sarners up to the middle of the 20th century to get to Bozen. That is why there was a farrier in Bindergasse who looked after and took in the Sarner horses. Later it was the terminus of a city bus route. The many inns on the street were due to the importance of traffic on the street.

In the 19th century the so-called Ritsche or Wiere (a canal to supply the houses with usable water ), which until then ran openly through the street, was built.

Bindergasse today

Bolzano has long since ceased to be a cooper or a cooper. The Bindergasse has largely retained its historical appearance, even if some buildings have been given new uses; The Prince's Office House became the South Tyrol Natural History Museum , the St. Afra House became a house with apartments for self-employed seniors, and the “Weißes Rössl” inn has given up its accommodation function and relies on down-to-earth cuisine. The party headquarters of the South Tyrolean Greens is located on the upper floor of the “Pfauen” . In addition to the restaurants already mentioned, there are three other bars and a pizzeria. Several bakeries and bread shops line the street. There is also a supermarket in Bindergasse, the headquarters of the ASGB and the department for Ladin School and Culture. Bindergasse is now part of Bolzano's pedestrian zone, but taxis and (at certain times) suppliers and residents can use it in a northerly direction.
