history

Campus technology of the university

The road from Innsbruck to the west did not previously run along the valley floor, but across the Inn Bridge , Höttinger Gasse and today's Schneeburggasse along the slope of the Nordkette. The first courtyards were built along this street. Under Archduke Ferdinand II , the road was moved to the valley floor in the 16th century and today's Kranebitter Allee was laid out. The Chapel of the Visitation of the Virgin Mary, built in 1625, and the Kranebitten Inn were the first buildings in Kranebitten. Especially after the Mittenwaldbahn went into operation in 1912, construction activity increased in the area that belonged to the then still independent municipality of Hötting. In 1934/35 the Lohbach settlement and in 1936 the Hörtnagl settlement were built by the city of Innsbruck. In 1938 Hötting was incorporated into Innsbruck. Since then, the foot of the Nordkette has completely grown into the settlement area of ​​the city, only Kranebitten is still somewhat independent. Due to the Kranebitten airport , built in 1947, the location - otherwise favorable on the south side - is somewhat disadvantaged.

In 1936 an emergency church was built, which was replaced from 1963–1965 by the parish church of St. Georg in All Saints  designed by Clemens Holzmeister . From 1967 to 1970 the buildings for the newly founded Faculty of Civil Engineering and Architecture of the University of Innsbruck were erected west of the Lohbach settlement . In addition, the Viktor-Franz-Hess-Haus was built for part of the natural science faculty. Today the buildings form the technology campus with the four faculties for technical sciences, architecture, biology as well as mathematics, computer science and physics.

coat of arms

Since only municipalities are authorized to do so in Tyrol, Hötting West does not have an official coat of arms. As for the other districts of Innsbruck, an unofficial coat of arms was designed, which was adopted in 1989 by the representatives of the associations and institutions of the district. It shows a border stone with a paw cross in a red and white split shield on a green mountain . This was built in 1476 on the border between Hötting and Zirl , which at that time also formed the border between the district courts of Sonnenburg and Hörtenberg . In the coat of arms he recalls the history and the border location of the district in the northwest of the city, the city colors red and white illustrate the affiliation to Innsbruck.
