Located at almost 1400 meters above sea level in Paznaun , the place is known for its Silvretta Arena ski area with 238 km of slopes and 45 lifts, which is connected to Samnaun in Switzerland . The former mountain farming village was transformed in the 20th century into a hotel settlement that caters to mass tourism . In the ski season, numerous après-ski parties and concerts by various international pop stars take place there, to which up to 25,000 visitors are expected. In January 2020 there were almost 12,000 beds for tourists in 390 hotels for every 1,600 inhabitants.

In March 2020, Ischgl was a focal point of the coronavirus pandemic in Europe ; according to a Spiegel research, more than 11,000 infections are said to be due to the location. Since then, the Innsbruck public prosecutor's office has been investigating whether events in the holiday resort could have led to the epidemic spreading across Europe and whether there is a well-founded suspicion of a “risk of infectious diseases”.

Ischgl is a border town of the Alemannic dialect area in the Tyrol and Vorarlberg area , on the one hand between Höchst Alemannic and Bavarian, on the other hand between Höchst Alemannic and Vallader.

From the settlement to the 19th century

The former mountain farming village ( Yscla , Rhaeto-Romanic for "island") was settled by Rhaeto-Romans from the Engadine around 1000 years ago and by the Walsers in the 13th century . There was no navigable connection to the Tyrolean Oberinntal, so that Ischgl was more economically connected to the Engadin and Vorarlberg and also traded with the Vinschgau , Swabia and Bavaria . In addition, there was a privilege granted by Archduke Siegmund in 1460, which allowed Ischgl to export duty-free cattle to certain areas and import duty-free grain. From 1505, the right to collect a road money was added, with the condition that the roads from the Engadin via the Zeinisjoch into the Montafon had to be maintained.

As early as the 17th century, trade was decreasing because the Engadin broke away from Tyrol and the relationship became looser. After the Jamtaler Ferner had grown so much in the middle of the 18th century that the path was no longer passable even with pack horses , trade came to a standstill. Since the town was sacked by the Engadin in 1622, all taxes were waived for five years.

Tax registers are available for the years 1697 (Tiroler Landesarchiv Cat. 45/1) and 1775. In 1849 Ischgl and Galtür were finally merged with the Landeck court.

The Ischgl music band was founded in 1852 and was only able to use a rehearsal room in the elementary school from 1904.

In the 19th century there began a strong emigration with families as far as America. Due to the decline in trade, the population in the barren valley could no longer be fed. Many residents left the region and children were sent abroad to work (see Schwabenkinder ).

At the end of the 19th century, tourism opened up a new source of income. In the 1880s, sections of the ÖAV ( Austrian Alpine Association ) and the DAV ( German Alpine Association ) built several shelters .

First half of the 20th century

During the First World War , 23 people from Ischgl fell and 3 were missing; in the Second World War there were 30 dead and 7 missing. Zm 24./25. In July 1938, numerous heroic commemorations took place in Tyrol, and a report was also available from Ischgl. From 1943 to 1945, Ischgl and Galtür were among the goals of Kinderlandverschickung , specifically from Essen-Steele . Apparently, the region was largely spared from acts of war until 1945. At the end of the Second World War, on May 6, 1945 in Paznaun, the American troops met French units near Ischgl who had come from the Montafon via the Zeinisjoch. At the beginning of July 1945 the Americans handed the area over to the French troops, who exercised control here until the Austrian State Treaty in 1955.

Increasing change to a tourist destination

Apres-ski bar in Ischgl

The former image of a mountain farming village has been completely lost in recent decades in favor of a hotel complex. Today, Ischgl, with its numerous après-ski events, is an example of mass and event tourism and is therefore also known as the Ibiza of the Alps .

The beginnings of the ski school and tourism association go back to 1929. Erwin Aloys (1910–2002) was one of the first ski instructors in Ischgl and the innkeeper at the Heidelberger Hütte . He built the Hotel Madlein and was mayor of Ischgl for many years. Elementary school director Josef Parth (1921–2011) had good relationships with German tour operators and thus brought many guests to the still unknown Ischgl in his early years. His contacts with state politicians were of great importance in the construction of the cable car. Xaver Zangerl (1927–1997) was the head of the Ischgl ski school for many years.

Rudolf Wolf and Franz Kurz were one of the decisive factors behind the departure in the 1960s. The hotelier Günther Aloys, son of Erwin Aloys, played a role in Ischgl's international breakthrough as a holiday destination with the establishment of the first design hotel in Ischgl. Alfons Parth (* 1957) has been the chairman of the tourism association since 1989. During this time he had a decisive influence on the development of Ischgl, and during his chairmanship Ischgl has become an internationally known holiday destination. His successor has been the hotelier Alexander von der Thannen (* 1971) since December 2019.

According to former mayor Erwin Aloys, “the entire property of the political community of Ischgl […] was transferred to the agricultural communities Mathon and Ischgl in 1968 and 1972. In Mathon under the deposit number 133 and in Ischgl under the deposit numbers 128 and 129. […] In the land register only the church with the cemetery, the community and school building […] were shown as community property. "

In 1976 the meteorite "Ischgl" of the same name was found near the municipality of Ischgl . This meteorite is one of eight solids of cosmic origin found on Austrian territory, which have crossed the earth's atmosphere, reached the ground and were named after a place in Austria (see list of meteorites in Austria ). The meteorite was covered with a fresh melting crust and showed hardly any traces of earthly weathering. It belongs to the class of common chondrites (LL6) and contains i.a. a. the relatively rare mineral chlorapatite .

The Paznaun has always been at a high risk of avalanches. In Ischgl there have recently been deaths in 1984, when a man was buried in a telephone booth by an avalanche, in 2012, 2017 and 2018. In 1999, the Galtür avalanche disaster occurred only a few kilometers away, with 38 deaths . The Madlein avalanche is an avalanche line in the Paznaun that threatened the town of Ischgl and regularly, as in 1817 or 1984, led to severe devastation. It was elaborately secured with successive avalanche barriers that lasted over 35 years and was completed in 2010.

Since it stood in the way of an access road to a ski lift, the listed baroque St. Gallus Chapel was illegally demolished in 2002 by members of the Ischgl agricultural community and replaced by a new concrete building nearby. The then mayor and two other people involved were fined by the Tyrolean district court.

In April 2002 Bill Clinton performed at the Message from the Mountains event in Ischgl.

Numerous houses in Ischgl were destroyed during the Alpine floods in 2005 .

On the occasion of Thomas Gottschalk's farewell broadcast on Wetten, dass ..? Gian Simmen took part in an outdoor bet in Ischgl on December 3, 2011 as a snowboarder.

In 2014 the cultural center in Ischgl was awarded the Austrian builder award.

In the 2017 referendum on hosting the Olympic Winter Games in 2026 , over 83 percent of those surveyed in Ischgl voted for the event.

Coronavirus pandemic 2020

During the coronavirus pandemic 2020 , Ischgl - especially the après-ski bar Kitzloch - became a hot spot with hundreds of people infected by the coronavirus . According to reports in English daily newspapers, a Briton was said to have been infected in Ischgl in mid-January and thus brought the virus to England . On March 3, an Icelandic tour guide informed an Ischgl hotel that two corona cases had occurred in her tour group. On March 4, Icelandic authorities classified Ischgl as a high-risk area after people returning from vacation from the region tested positive for the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus . Iceland's chief epidemiologist Thorolfur Gudnason wrote a message to the federal authority in Vienna and a message to the EU's early warning and response system (EWRS) to report epidemics. On March 5 (according to later research on March 3) the Icelanders transmitted the hotels in which the infected were staying. They reported that the infected were not part of a group, and that they lived in five hotels and had no contact with one another. Nobody in Austria reacted to this information.

Due to the positive test result of a bartender in the après ski bar Kitzloch , the bar was disinfected and then the staff was replaced. After several other Ischgl vacationers had positive test results, the Kitzloch bar was officially closed on March 9 , and all après ski bars in Ischgl were closed on March 10. As a police report shows, some restaurants in Ischgl disregarded the regulation on closing and opened anyway. One of the local operators who stayed open is also the chairman of the Paznaun Tourism Association. After the entire Ischgl ski area was closed on March 13, the entire Paznaun , St. Anton am Arlberg and other places were quarantined in addition to Ischgl . The quarantine lasted from March 13 to April 22, 2020.

Against the background of the corona cases reported by Iceland at the beginning of March, domestic and foreign media criticized the continuation of ski operations in Ischgl until March 13 and the actions of those responsible in Tyrol. The daily newspaper Der Standard commented on the behavior of the Tyrolean authorities with "greed and failure in Tyrol"; she criticized that they did not isolate the guests in Ischgl and that they did not stop skiing immediately.

For Austria, the Agency for Health and Food Safety stated on April 9, 2020 that 625 people, equivalent to 57 percent of the cases examined to date, had been infected in Ischgl. The spread of the virus in Iceland was also largely due to Ischgl at the beginning of March. Of the 1198 infections confirmed in Norway at that time, almost 500 could be traced back to Austria, most of them to the Paznaun Valley . Of 262 infected people in Denmark, more than half could be traced back directly and indirectly to Ischgl. In Germany, over 130 infected people were returned to Ischgl at the beginning of April. A study by the Kiel World Economic Institute shows that Ischgl had the greatest influence on the infection rate in Germany. There are also infected people in Sweden, England and Ireland who, according to the respective national health authorities, have become infected in Ischgl. Even with infections in countries in other continents, such as Cambodia, Australia, Zimbabwe, Brazil and Hong Kong was an outgoing Ischgl contagion chain has become. The German news magazine Der Spiegel linked more than 11,000 cases of infection with Ischgl in the course of extensive research.

The political responsibility for the controversial crisis management in Tyrol has been clarified since the beginning of June. In May, the political opposition in Tyrol demanded the formation of an independent commission of inquiry and the resignation of the Provincial Health Councilor Bernhard Tilg, which he refused with the claim that he had “done everything right”. This was also confirmed by the mayor of Ischgl, Werner Kurz, in an interview with Bavarian radio. On June 3, 2020, a commission of inquiry chaired by former OGH Vice President Ronald Rohrer began its work; There should be a final report by October. The Innsbruck public prosecutor's office has started investigations to clarify whether a catering establishment has deliberately concealed the reportable illness from the authorities. There is also the allegation that a doctor issued false certificates; the medical association initiated proceedings in April to investigate this.

As part of an investigation into the events in Ischgl that has been ongoing since the end of March, which are related to the Europe-wide spread of the respiratory disease Covid-19 , the police submitted a detailed, approximately thousand-page interim report to the Innsbruck public prosecutor's office on May 5, 2020. After reviewing the files, a decision is made as to whether there is a justified suspicion of "risk from infectious diseases". So far (as of May 5, 2020) 25 people who were infected with the coronavirus in Ischgl have died as a result of the infection. 321 people who were infected with the new type of corona virus in other Tyrolean ski resorts joined the process.

On May 24, 2020, a “study by the Kiel Institute for the World Economy (IfW)” was published, according to which the geographical proximity to Ischgl was one of the main risk factors for a comparatively high infection rate among Germans living there. The IfW had evaluated data from the Robert Koch Institute from the 401 German districts and thus underlined the importance of Ischgl as a hot spot for the spread of the new type of coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 in Germany. In particular, it was found that German districts that were closer to the so-called superspreader location Ischgl systematically had higher infection rates than those further away. Investigations by the scientists in the regions of Heinsberg (North Rhine-Westphalia / Germany) and Mulhouse (Grand-Est / France), who were also severely affected by »Corona«, showed that the incidents there did not contribute to the spread of the infectious disease in Germany like that of Ischgl. For Germany, the following was evidently the case: “The further a district is from Ischgl, the less it has hit it.” The spread of the COVID-19 pandemic in Germany could only be prevented by taking drastic measures as part of a lockdown .

In a study by the Medical University of Innsbruck , the population of Ischgl was tested for antibodies against the coronavirus. 80 percent of the population (1,473 people, including 214 children) took part in the survey from April 21 to 27, 2020. 42.4 percent of those tested had antibodies against the virus, the highest rate ever found worldwide . In the age group under 18, 27 percent were positive. Only 15 percent of the people who tested positive for antibodies had previously tested positive with the PCR test and were therefore among the officially reported sick people. The number of people actually infected was thus six times higher (ten times higher in the group under 18 years of age) than that of those who previously tested positive with the PCR test. Most of the people who tested positive for antibodies stated that their symptoms were a disruption of the sense of taste and smell, followed by fever and cough. In the group under 18 years of age, the disease was mostly asymptomatic. Only nine of the study participants had to be treated in hospital. The study also served to assess test procedures for Covid-19 .

The first Ischgl cable car was built from 1962 to 1963, interrupted by the crash of the cabin shortly before it went into operation. In December 1963 the Silvrettaseilbahn, the longest cable car in Austria at the time, opened. The ascent to the ski area is now via three lifts, the Silvrettabahn (max. 24-seater gondola), since 1976 via the Fimbabahn, which has been an eight-person gondola since 2007, and the Pardatschgradbahn (originally a four-person gondola since the 2014 / 15 a 3S cable car from Doppelmayr with 28 people per gondola). The maximum number of people that can be transported with all systems in the ski area is around 93,000 people per hour. The Silvrettaseilbahn AG has an annual turnover of around 70 million euros with 17 million passengers and employs over 500 people.

The opening of the season and the end of the season as well as Easter are regularly celebrated with large pop concerts , international stars of the music industry take to the stage at the Top of the Mountain Concerts .

Ischgl's character is shaped by the highest density of four-star hotels in Austria. In addition, Ischgl has a diverse range of restaurants, bars, shops, events and nightlife. In the 2017/18 season, 10,600 guest beds in 178 hotels - including 4  five-star hotels - were used for more than 1.4 million overnight stays. In 2015 there were also 26 bars and 50 restaurants, 8 of which are award- winning restaurants.
