Fritztal
The Fritztal , the valley of the Fritzbach , an eastern tributary of the Salzach , is a region in Salzburg . It represents the connection between Salzachpongau and Ennspongau . The valley of the upper reaches is called Schattbachtal or also Oberfritztal .
geography
Location and landscape
The region is partly treated independently, partly also seen as part of the Ennspongau, and is located in the Fritztal Mountains of the Salzburg Slate Alps . The lower course also belongs to the Tennengebirge region , the upper course to the Dachstein massif , on whose southern roofs the origin lies.
The Fritztal includes the municipalities of Hüttau and Eben im Pongau , the end of the valley is in the municipal area of Bischofshofen and Pfarrwerfen , the Oberfritztal extends from Eben into the municipal area of Filzmoos .
Run of the Fritzbach
The course of the Fritz Bach begins south of the bishop's cap , in the space of Wühreralm / Aualm (Wöherhütte, 1300 m above sea level. A. ⊙ ), below the Hofpürglhütte , in the area of Filzmoos . It flows first in a south-east, then in an east-west direction over 30 km to the Salzach.
The upper course lies on the southern edge of the Dachstein massif, between Gerzkopf in the north and Roßbrand massif in the south. The localities of Neuberg (Filzmoos municipality) and Schattbach (Eben municipality) are located here , converging with the Schattbach from the right . Past Eben (municipality of Eben im Pongau) to the north, it passes the opening into the Altenmarkt basin .
As a narrow valley, it then flows between Gerzkopf and then Tennengebirge in the north and Hochgründeck in the south, past Niedernfritz , Hüttau ( 697 m above sea level ) and Pöham ( 610 m above sea level ) and then forms the boundary between Bischofshofen and Pfarrwerfen .
Important tributaries in this section are St. Martinsbach to the right of St. Martin near Niedernfritz, Iglsbach to the left of the Hochgründeck and Larzenbach to the right of the Tennengebirge, both near Hüttau.
The Fritzbach flows north of Bischofshofen ( 549 m above sea level ), near Kreuzberg , into the Salzach.
The mean flow rate of the Fritzbach at the mouth at Kreuzbergmauth is 4.2 m³ / s.

geology
The Fritztal forms - apart from the Quelltal - exactly the northern border of the slate Alps or Grauwackenzone against the Werfener layers (slate, limestone and quartzite of the Lower Triassic , Hasel Mountains and the Präbichl Formation of the Permian ). Only on the Gasthofberg above Eben, and near Hüttau, the Fritzbach leaves a piece to the north, and at the mouth it cuts through the Werfener Serie - which then stretches a little south in the Mühlbachtal on the Hochkönigstock to the west - and Pleistocene gravel banks.
Due to its location on the border of Grauwacke, the area is rich in raw materials, important was the Hüttau copper mining , initially on the Iglsbach, and from the 13th century on the Larzenbach.
history
Name customer
The origin and meaning of the component fritz- are unknown, but certainly before Bavarian . Carantan protoslovenian (the Gastein – Dachstein – Windischgarsten line marks the traditional north-western border), but older roots such as Romanesque (as a traffic axis ) or Celtic ( Hallstatt culture can also be found in the Salzach Valley) would be possible. It was even spoken of "Indo-European pre-individual language (old European)".
Settlement history
In 1074 Archbishop Gebhard donated the Fritztal to the Salzburg spin-off Admont Abbey .
traffic
The Fritztal forms one of the main traffic axes of the state of Salzburg and the central inner-alpine region of Austria. Run in the valley:
- the Tauernautobahn (A 10, E 561) from the Bischofshofen junction of the B 111 Pinzgauer Straße to the Eben junction with the B 320 Ennstal Straße into the Styrian Ennstal and towards Graz , the A 10 over the Tauern tunnel into the Lungau and the Katschberg tunnel towards Villach in the south Austria
- At the same time, the B 99 Katschberg Strasse runs from the B 159 Salzachtal Strasse to Eben and on via Obertauern into the Lungau
- in the upper reaches the L 219 Filzmooser Landesstraße leads via Filzmoos, Fortstzg. Styria L 711 Ramsauerstraße to the B 320 near Schladming
- on St. Martin am Tennengebirge B branches 166 Pass Gschütt road from that on the Lammertal back to Hallein and in the Inner Salzkammergut leads
In addition, the Ennstalbahn Bischofshofen - Selzthal, i.e. the Innsbruck / Salzburg - Graz railway axis, runs in the valley .
