history

Hungerburg with Hungerburgbahn, before 1927
Hotel Mariabrunn around 1950

Until about 1840 the Hungerburg terrace formed a fairly closed forest area, the western area of ​​which belonged to Hötting and the eastern area to Arzl and after 1740 to the municipality of Mühlau . The corridor on the gray stone was named after the Höttinger Breccie bank , which is open here.

Joseph Andreas von Attlmayr, the husband of Maria von Wörndle zu Weiherburg, bought a piece of the Gramart forest in 1840, just on the Höttingen municipality border towards Mühlau. In 1840 he had a well dug here and a summer house built, which he named Neuhof Mariabrunn . The offer of the associated snack station was apparently meager, which soon earned it the nickname Hungerburg in the vernacular . This name was carried over to the terrace settlement developed here from 1906 onwards. The Innsbruck tourism pioneer Sebastian Kandler tried around 1900 to develop the Hungerburg into a summer resort.

The first Hungerburgbahn , a funicular to the Hungerburg, was built in 1905/06. The cable car from the Hungerburg to the Nordkette , to the Seegrube and to the Hafelekar - Nordkettenbahn - was built in 1927/28.

The Seehof facilities were opened in 1912. In a former quarry, the Hungerburgsee was created as a bathing lake, which was fed by a waterfall. The Gasthaus Seehof was located on the shore, and above the lake there was an observation tower that was reached by a boat trip across the lake, access through a rock cave on the lake shore and a lift to the tower gate. The First World War and the subsequent economic crisis meant the end for the plant. It was handed over to the Kinderfreunde in 1926 , who used it as a rest home. The Chamber of Labor has been running the Seehof as an education center since 1951 .

From 1928 onwards, Rudolf Schlenz sen. and Dominikus Dietrich OPraem, prior in Wilten Abbey , set up a parish, initially with the former Würth garden house as an emergency church. The Theresienkirche was built in 1931/32 . The Austrian artist Max Weiler was commissioned to design the church in 1946/47. His fresco caused a scandal among the population and the church because of the depiction of a Tyrolean rifle captain's lance stabbing into the heart of Jesus, so that it had to be imposed for years.

In 1938 the two communities of Hötting and Mühlau were incorporated into Innsbruck, and since then Hungerburg has increasingly developed into an independent district.

The old Hungerburgbahn was replaced on December 1, 2007 by today's Hungerburgbahn with a different route.

coat of arms

Hungerburg-wappen.jpg

Since only municipalities are authorized to do so in Tyrol, the Hungerburg 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 by the Hungerburg Interest Group in 1995. It shows in a four-part shield in the top right and bottom left field in green three silver arches of the diagonally rising viaduct of the Hungerburgbahn, in the top left field in red a silver mill wheel (the district coat of arms of Mühlau) and in the bottom right field in red the stylized tower the old Hötting church (the district coat of arms of Hötting).

The coat of arms reminds that the development of the district is inextricably linked with the construction of the Hungerburgbahn and refers to the affiliation to the two former communities and today's cadastral communities Hötting and Mühlau.
