Forach (formerly also: Vorach ) is a district in the northwestern municipality of the Austrian city of Dornbirn , in the state of Vorarlberg .
Origin of name
The name Forach is a field and place name. It should refer to the widespread population of pines ("Fohra") in the extensive corridor area there, according to another interpretation, to the area in front of the Ache ( Dornbirner Ach ).
history
The Knights of the Ems owned several areas and farms in Dornbirn, but not in Forach. This area was named that way as early as 1609. The Forach used to be a reed landscape that was mainly used as pasture for cattle. The so-called Dorfer Viehweide originally extended from the Rohrbach over the Forach and the Werben area to today's transmitter . In 1565 Peter Rüdisser received a mowing in Forach (Mehrerauer Lehenbuch). The relatively late settlement of the area and the lack of village structure is also reflected in the fact that there is no chapel or church here. Likewise, there is only one kindergarten but no school facility and no village center.
