history

Some important archaeological finds came to light in Fliess, such as the Kathrein find , a Hallstatt period treasure, a Bronze Age treasure find from Moosbruckschrofen am Piller , the remains of a Bronze Age house in the Silberplan district of Fließ and the burnt offering place on the Piller Höhe.

In Roman times , Fliess was an important resting place, which is proven by numerous finds. Many of the archaeological finds are exhibited in the Fliess Museum.

The small town has the oldest church in this region, today's Catholic parish church called Mariä Himmelfahrt or Fließer Maaskirche , of which the foundation walls from the 6th century were discovered. The larger St. Barbara Church, enthroned above the Inn Valley, was built between 1794 and 1804.

For the first time in the light of written history, Fliess appears in the years 1115–1122, when ownership of “Flies” was transferred to the Rottenbuch Abbey .

In 1547 Fliess was hit by a natural disaster, a mudslide almost buried the entire main town.

After a major fire in 1933, Fliess was rebuilt and restored much more extensively. Today there are still parts of the old town center and some old farmsteads in the outlying hamlets.

Population development


Culture and sights

Economy and Infrastructure

Together with Zams, Fliess has a small ski area. The community also has a share in the Kaunergrat Nature Park .

Before the construction of the valley road, the connecting road from Landeck to the Reschenpass ran through the village.

Fliess is on the long-distance cycle path , which runs as the Via Claudia Augusta along an ancient Roman road of the same name .

Others

Pillerhöhe

The valley of today's Pillerhöhe was the continuation of the Upper Inn Valley more than 100,000 years ago. The Piller Saddle (as it is also called) formed a much-used shortcut from the Engadin via the anterior Pitztal to Imst despite the steep ascent from the Oberinntal . The "Gachener Blick" at 1559 m offers a wide view of the upper Inn Valley . From here roads lead to Fliess and the anterior Kaunertal . The area is rich in small raised bogs (169 small and large recorded bogs), and the “Piller Hochmoor” bog nature trail, which explains the ecology of the bogs with display boards, also passes nearby . To document the natural wealth in the Kaunergrat Nature Park, the architecturally interesting Kaunergrat Nature Park House was built directly at Gachener Blick.

The discovery of a prehistoric sacrificial hill made the Pillerhöhe famous far beyond the borders of Tyrol . The ancient cult site was scientifically researched by the Innsbruck Archaeological Institute between 1992 and 1998 and documented in several publications. The extensive finds in the ash hill around the stone altar are exhibited in the Fliess Archaeological Museum : Weapons, tools and pieces of jewelry made of a wide variety of materials bear witness to the more than two thousand years of use of the hill as a sacrificial site from the Bronze Age to the end of the Roman Empire around 400 AD. The replica of a Rhaetian sacrificial procession made of iron, several steles with information boards and exposed rock crevices in which ceramics and bronze axes were found draw attention to the importance of this historic site. Also famous is the so-called “Treasure from Moosbruckschrofen” with a well-preserved bronze crested helmet , which was discovered near the “Gachener Blick” on the Fließer “KULT-UR-Weg”.

Flowing steppe slopes

The steep dry slopes in a narrow belt about eight kilometers long between the district of Eichholz west of the main town and the Pontlatzer bridge form a landscape with dry grass and bushes. A pine forest is typical of warm, dry inner-alpine valleys, but here the forest has long been cleared for pasture use. As a result, a plant community made up of bushes and lawns has settled. Minor grazing is necessary to avoid overgrown with bushes. The hedgerows and stone walls built for irrigation provide a habitat for butterflies, insects and lizards.

coat of arms

Description of the coat of arms : The coat of arms of the municipality of Fließ is intended to commemorate the first attested owner Potzner of Bidenegg Castle and is based on their coat of arms . Two identical keep with battlements in blue protrude from a defensive wall of the same color on a silver shield. The blue silhouette of the castle is supposed to block the viewer's view of the coat of arms and probably also refer to the narrow valley of Pontlatz above the Inn valley, which is important in terms of military history. The description reads: “In silver, two blue tin towers connected by a wall”. The coat of arms was awarded to the municipality on July 13, 1982.
