history

Erl, an estate in Roman times, probably the Praedium Aurelianum (owned by Aurelianus), is one of the oldest villages in the Inn Valley. The first Roman settlement probably took place in the 3rd century, which the Mithras stone in the parish church with the inscription DIM PRO SALUTE ("the invincible god Mithras for salvation") attests to.

Around 788–790, Erl is mentioned for the first time in the Arnonian property register of Archbishop Arn of Salzburg ( ad Oriano monte ).

The parish church of St. Andrew was set on fire several times after acts of war because of its location on the border. The current interior of the church comes from Sebastian Anton Defregger (around 1818), including the miraculous image of Mariahilf on the high altar after Lucas Cranach the Elder. Ä. The ceiling paintings (calling and condemnation of St. Andrew, 1817) are attributed to Franz Alt Mutter . The interior of the church was completely renovated in 1980.

In 1504 Erl came to Tyrol under Emperor Maximilian with the courts of Kufstein, Kitzbühel and Rattenberg and has since been a border town against Bavaria . At the narrow point in front of the border was the Windshausen ski jump , where battles with Bavarian troops took place in the war years 1703/04, 1744, 1800 and 1809. The whole village was burned down in 1704 and 1809. On the wooden Inn bridge (built 1895 - rebuilt 1991) to the neighboring Bavarian municipality of Oberaudorf stands a larger than life baroque statue of the water saint Johannes Nepomuk (1732).

Culture and sights

Regular events

The Passion Play probably goes back to a vow made during the plague. The tradition of performing religious games in Erl can be traced back to 1613. From 1957 to 1959, a new, ultra-modern Passion Play House was built for the old building, which was burned down by fire in 1933 , according to the plans of Robert Schuller from Innsbruck. The building is considered an icon of post-war modernism as well as an acoustic masterpiece. Since then, the Passion Play has been performed here every six years, in which almost the whole village participates and which attracts thousands of visitors from home and abroad. Along with Oberammergau, Erl is one of the oldest Passion Play venues in Europe.

The Tyrolean Festival Erl , founded by Gustav Kuhn in 1997, takes place every summer for four weeks, usually starting on the first Thursday in July. The program mainly includes Wagner, Strauss, Bruckner, Beethoven, Mozart, Belcanto and the Italian repertoire. In December 2012, the new, winter- proof festival hall designed by Delugan Meissl Associated Architects was opened.

Since 2012 the summer program of the Tyrolean Festival has been supplemented by a winter season, which normally lasts from December 26th to January 6th.
