location
The farm is located at 1973 m slm altitude in Schnalstal and belongs to the Our Lady fraction of the Schnals community. Until 1967 it was the highest cultivated corn farm in Europe. Hiking trail 7 leads from Vernagt via the Tisenhof and Raffeinhof to the Finailhof.
history
Around 1290 the court belonged to Hiltpolt von Montalban, who sold it to the sovereign. In 1416, the farmers of the court are said to have granted protection to Duke Friedrich IV with their empty pockets on the run. The farmer is said to have kept him tending the sheep as a servant for his protection. A mug is kept in the courtyard that was supposedly a gift from the Duke, but the Zurich Taler set into the floor is younger and the year 1567 is engraved on the mug.
The courtyard consists of four wooden structures. The wooden block construction of the house dates from the 15th and 16th centuries. It has a vaulted kitchen. The room is painted and equipped with paneled panels. Here you can find the year 1854. The purlin heads are decorated with carving.
It is run by the Gurschler family and also serves as a snack station .
In 1981 the farm's residential building was placed under a preservation order.
Grain was grown on the farm until the middle of the 20th century. The construction of the Vernagt reservoir possibly changed the microclimatic conditions, the field turned into a meadow. In 2010, pupils from the primary schools in Karthaus and Katharinaberg, with the support of the team from the “Apple Love” project, sown winter rye again for the first time .
The court in literature and media
In his novel from the Tyrolean history Friedel and Oswald (Berlin 1866), Herman Schmid processed the events surrounding Friedrich with the empty pocket literarily. In it, Moidele shows him the way from Niederjochferner to Finailhof on his escape : “'Here is the end,' she said, 'down there is the Finailhof, you can no longer be absent, sir: there the servant is waiting for you, who [ ...] leads out into Vinschgau and brings you safely to Landeck. [...] '"
The German eugenicist and anthropologist Walter Scheidt, who also wrote fiction under the pseudonym Berchtold Gierer , went into the court several times in his 1938 novel Die Geige : “That was a court, the Finailhof, for people who like so far from people went like Sepp Spechtenhauser. "The Finailhof had" built its four heavy, bulky wooden houses under the Grawand almost like at the end of this world in the exit of the high valley [...]. "He described how the herding boy of the farm "once a week over the Kitzköpfl the small addition " went. [...]
The German writer Hellmut von Cube published the South Tyrol satire Mein Leben bei den Trolls in 1961 , which is based on his experiences during a vacation at the Finailhof. The Schnalstalers resented the exaggeration of life on the farm, which at that time had no flush toilet, and of the people described, such as the farmer's unmarried sister. The work appeared again in 1981 and 2008.
In 2009 the courtyard was one of the filming locations for the program “Mein Advent in Südtirol” on the German TV channel ZDF .
