The old Hötting town center ( 607  m above sea level ) today forms the statistical district of Hötting , which is congruent with the statistical district ( counting district ) Hötting-Mitte . It was able to retain its village character to this day, but new residential areas to the west of it were developed from the 1960s. The old Höttingen church, first mentioned in documents in 1286, was built in the late Gothic style and later changed to Baroque style . The new Höttinger Church was built in 1911 in the historicist style. The pilgrimage church of Höttinger Bild is located in a wooded area above Hötting .

The district has 6250 inhabitants on an area of ​​425.8 hectares and thus a population density of 1468 inhabitants / km². 10.7% of the population are younger than 15 years, 18.8% older than 65. The proportion of foreigners is 19.0% (as of 2013).

Other parts and locations

The Höttinger Au describes the area between the foot of the Nordkette and the Inn. Archduke Ferdinand II had a zoo built there, in which court society could pursue its passion for hunting undisturbed. In 1947 Innsbruck Airport moved from Reichenau to Au . Other parts of the city that, like the Höttinger Au, have been developed into residential areas in recent decades are on the slopes of the northern chain Sadrach and Hötting West , Allerheiligen with the Peerhof and Hörtnagl settlement and the Lohbach settlement with the buildings of the technical faculty of the University of Innsbruck . Kranebitten is a village district in the far west with a campsite.

Part of the Innsbruck Alpine Zoo and the individual layers Schlotthof and Schoberwaldhütte also belong to the local area . The cadastral area stretches over the Höttinger Graben up to the Nordkettenkamm from the Seegrubenspitze ( 2350  m above sea level ), Frau Hitt (2270 m), Vordere and Hintere Brandjochspitze (2559 and 2599 m), Hohe Warte (2597 m) to to the Kleiner Solstein (2637 m). On the south side of the Nordkette are the mountain and inns Rauschbrunnen (1088 m), the Seegrube station of the Nordkettenbahn , Höttinger Alm (1487 m) and the Bodensteinalm (1661 m).

North of the Nordkette, the area stretches across the upper Gleirschtal, the Samertal, where the Möslalm is located, to the summit of the Hohen Gleirsch ( 2492  m above sea level , Gleirsch-Halltal chain ).

The total extent of the cadastral community is twelve kilometers from north to south, with almost 45 km², which is almost half of the total area of ​​Innsbruck.

traffic

The connection from Innsbruck to the Oberinntal and to the Seefelder Sattel  used to run over the Inn Bridge , the Höttinger Gasse, today's Schneeburggasse and the Allerheiligenhöfe. It was not until the 16th century that the road was moved to the valley floor. Today this is the Tiroler Straße B 171 to Zirl. The Mittenwaldbahn also runs through Hötting with the stations and stops Innsbruck-Hötting , Allerheiligenhöfe and Kranebitten . The bus lines A (  operated as a trolleybus line until 1976 ), H and J of the Innsbrucker Verkehrsbetriebe  open up the district.

history

Hötting in the plan of the Imperial and Royal Provincial Capital Innsbruck , around 1840

In addition to Wilten, the district has the oldest traces of settlement in what is now Innsbruck. Archaeological finds from the Early Neolithic , the Bronze Age , the Iron Age as well as the Roman Imperial Age and the Early Middle Ages indicate the importance of the conveniently located settlement area. Urn graves from the younger Bronze Age have been found in the area of ​​Höttinger Gasse.

The ending -ing indicates a later naming by the Bavarians . In a document for the Polling monastery from 1122 to 1135, Hötting appears for the first time under the name " villa Hetiningen " (village settlement H.). In 1150 Hötting is mentioned as a  village belonging to the Sonnenburg district court . It grew rapidly and in 1265 already consisted of upper, middle and lower villages, Ried and Au. Around 1165/1170 Berchtold V (III.) Von Andechs had the first Inn bridge built and founded a market settlement on the left bank of the Inn in the Höttingen area, which was called Ynbruggen (today's district Mariahilf-St. Nikolaus) and from which the city of Innsbruck emerges developed.

From the 15th to the 18th century, mining was carried out above Hötting, especially in the Höttinger Graben, and silver , calamine , lead , vitriol and sulfur were extracted. The metals were also smelted in Hötting. Gradual decline occurred in the 17th century and numerous tunnels fell into disrepair. Since 1537 the citizens of Innsbruck have been able to win “tuff” (the Höttinger Breccie ) above Hötting for their buildings .

There were two foundries in Hötting , the bell foundry founded by Jörg Endorfer in 1496 and the ore foundry in Büchsenhausen founded by the Löffler family . The hydropower of the Fallbach and Höttinger Bach was not only used by the iron and steel works, but also by mills. In 1775 there were eight mills in Hötting, the last one closed in 1930. In the 15th century, wine was grown on the sunny slopes.

The first church in Hötting was mentioned in 1286, it was rebuilt in the 15th century and expanded and baroque in the 18th century. It originally belonged to Wilten Abbey , from 1495 a mass was read there every Sunday and a separate cemetery was laid out around it. In 1687 Hötting was made a curate and in 1853 a parish. In the 20th century, the parishes of All Saints, Good Shepherd and Petrus Canisius emerged from it. In 1911 the new parish church was built, which like the old church is consecrated to the Brixen diocesan patrons Ingenuin and Albuin . The old church was then profaned, but consecrated again in 1957.

In the 19th century, Hötting developed into a popular residential area for Innsbruck residents. In the 1930s, the Lohbach settlement and the Hörtnagl settlement were laid out by the city of Innsbruck on the Höttinger area. Various facilities were also relocated from the densely populated city to Hötting, such as the observatory in 1904 or the botanical garden in 1913 .

In 1932, the place briefly attracted attention at the federal level due to the bloody events of the Höttinger Saalschlacht .

Until its incorporation in 1938, Hötting was one of the largest communities or the largest village in Austria with around 8,000 inhabitants and comprised parts of the Nordkette with Mrs. Hitt . Therefore, the Innsbruck city area expanded significantly through the incorporation.
