history

Church of the Holy Cross

The Neolithic settlement of the area is proven by a stone arrowhead. The location appears in the 13th century as Gampas mentioned, which can be traced back to the Romanesque campu 'field'. The Holy Cross Church was built in 1440. A crucifix that had washed ashore was recovered from the Haller Au and set up here; it soon became a place of worship, which gave the place its current name. A healing spring is also mentioned in 1342. Today's Hotel Heiligkreuz, one of the oldest hotels in the area, was built here as a bathhouse. At the time of the Halltaler Salzbergau it was a popular stop-off point. Today the house is a four-star hotel (Austria Classic Hotel Heiligkreuz) . Badgasse is also a reminder of this .

In the early modern times, Heiligkreuz was located directly in front of the walls and entrenchments of the town Hall, which was heavily fortified as the seat of the salt and mint office, where the road to Thaur leads up to Innsbruck (today's Thauerer Strasse ). To the north of the walls ran the mule path , today Samerweg , with the Rumer Steig as a junction (today just a dead end). On June 24, 1655, Georg Christof Graf von Arzt, Obristjägermeister of Archduke Ferdinand Karl , granted the city of Hall and the village of Heiligkreuz the right to separate them from rum , Thaur and Arzl and “to better protect their wuh and pasture in the Haller Au” To be allowed to erect the earth dam, the three work shoes high, the sole of which is three work shoes wide and the crown two work shoes wide. "

From 1914 the pastor Sebastian Rieger , born in Defereggen, worked here , who became widely known as "Reimmichl" and died in 1953 on site. According to him, which is Reimmichlstraße named.

In 1938, when large communities were formed all over Austria after the Anschluss , Heiligkreuz and Absam were incorporated into Hall. Absam became independent again after the war through a referendum, but Heiligkreuz remained with the municipality.
