The listed chapel dedicated to St. cross

Egerdach is a settlement on the south-eastern edge of Innsbruck , which belongs to the cadastral community and the Amras district. It is located on the slope of the Paschberg at around 600  m above sea level. A. along the road (Luigenstrasse / Hermann-Gmeiner-Strasse) from Amras to Ampass .

The name Egerdach was first mentioned in 1288 as Hof zue Egerdach and Vogelweide datz Egerdach in a land register owned by Count Meinhard II . It was a courtyard and a bird-catching hut, which were subject to interest for the sovereign. However, these were not in the area of ​​today's Egerdach, but correspond to today's Peerhöfen, located to the northeast, on Ampasser municipality area.

Around 1600 three healing springs were discovered in Egerdach, according to tradition by a poor shepherd who grazed his cattle there and bathed his feet in the spring and noticed that his feet had been healed from a disease. The springs were then visited by more and more people from the area. In 1620, the then Salzgadner von Hall , Peter Pompanin, had the springs built and a bath house built. There was a successful spa business in Bad Egerdach until after the First World War. In the 19th century, tubs, sweat baths and steam baths were offered all year round, which promised improvement in particular for chronic rashes, abdominal problems and nervous diseases. From 1890 Kneipp cures were also  offered.

The bathing establishment also had a little church dedicated to St. Cross , which was consecrated in 1656 and, according to tradition  , was donated by Hippolyt Guarinoni . The small rectangular building with a high ridge turret with an onion dome is the only remaining building of the sanatorium today.

In 1956 the SOS Youth House, an establishment of the SOS Children's Villages for young people in training, was opened opposite the former spa in a building belonging to the Tyrolean Regional Health Insurance Fund . Several new buildings were added, which today house the Hermann Gmeiner Academy.
