Haller Au

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Haller Au, Josephinische (1st) land survey , around 1800

The Haller Au is a historical wetland on the Inn between Innsbruck and the city of Hall . The remainder is now called Thaurer Au .

location

The Haller Au was the corridor on the left (northern) bank of the Inn, at the foot of the northern low mountain range of the Nordkette , below the villages of Arzl , Rum and Thaur . It stretched over six kilometers and a width of about one kilometer from the Arzler Kalvarienberg downwards to the gates of Hall.

The Au was a typical flood area of ​​the Inn, so the Heiligkreuz district of Hall was still located in front of the walls of the old fortification, at the flood zone.

Today the Olympic village / Neu-Arzl , Neu-Rum , the Thaurer fields, the industrial zone Hall-Thaur and the facilities of the Hall train station are located here - eastwards from Innsbruck . The settlement areas of the eastern MARTHA villages and the Thaur fields extend to the north on the low mountain range .

history

La Tène settlement finds in the Thaurer fields prove the use in the first millennium BC. Traces of Roman settlement from late antiquity are widespread here.

In the 18th century the area was still a largely closed alluvial forest .

Directly Hall (in the meantime Solbad Hall, today Hall iT), which through its salt and its location on the Brenner route significant Fugger -Stadt was, in medieval times, a border , a loading and storage space for the Inn-rafting emerged (upper border) : Hall was the end point of the Inn shipping . Under Archduke Ferdinand II , the road that had previously led through the villages of the low mountain range was re-routed through the Haller Au in a strictly straight line from 1585–1589 (today's  B171 ). At that time, Maria Loretto , an important local pilgrimage site at times, was the first settlement and the Stationsweg from Innsbruck. As a result also was Arzler Bach focus (main Canal) and drained the wetland. As early as 1820 to around the middle of the century, the Haller Au was then largely cleared and parceled out as grassland. Around 1782 the Schererhof was created , a model estate laid out by the Innsbruck protomedicus and later personal physician Maria Theresa, Claudius Martin Scherer .

In 1858 the Lower Inn Valley Railway was also relocated through the Au, and the site of today's Haller marshalling yard was created west of the city. At the time, Innsbrucker / Haller Strasse was a good road with an avenue . Since 1891 the local railway Innsbruck – Hall in Tirol ran on its south side . 1893 was then the Schererhof in Arzler Au, the western part of the Au Haller, the country's main shooting created (he was previously in Mariahilf , went there but in 1885 bankruptcy). The shooting range settlement , today's Neuarzl , was built there in the 1920s . The Rum stop was opened in the inter-war period  , and this is where today's Neurum began with the hamlet of Aurain / Rumerhof . The remaining wetland in the core of the corridor was called Thauerer Au from around the middle of the 19th century at the latest , as it had come to this municipal area. The last remains of the once closed Haller alluvial forest disappeared in the early 20th century.

After the Second World War, the development began, which brought the end of the Haller Au: In 1956/57, the Tyrolean duty-free area was established at the train station . For the Winter Olympics in 1964 , the Olympic Village , today a separate district, was built on the Innsbruck city limits from 1961 . The shooting range had to give way (it was rebuilt above Arzl). In 1971 a part of the Thauerer Au was also dedicated as an industrial area ( industrial area Thaur / Au ) , together with the former duty-free area - in the 1990s free warehouse , largely obsolete with the Schengen Agreement - it now operates as the Hall-Thaur industrial zone . Until the 1990s, the settlement area from Mühlau to the south of Rum, as well as from the Thaur – Hall municipal boundary to the center of Hall, was already closed.

The remaining agricultural area in Thaur between the Olympic Village / Neurum and the industrial zone / Hall train station was subject to a general consolidation procedure ( land consolidation ) until 2006 . A good 7½ hectare (between B171 and Inn, with small parts in rum) is currently recorded in the local spatial planning concept as an agricultural free area  (LF), so it should remain without construction for the time being.

Of the former extensive alluvial forests around Innsbruck, only the small protected areas Kranebitter Innau and Völser Au west of the city are preserved today.
