In 1859 Zingerle received the professorship for German language and literature at the University of Innsbruck . Zingerle was a corresponding member of the Vienna Academy of Sciences .

Zingerle published poems and published literary and historical writings. Together with his brother Josef Zingerle he collected Tyrolean fairy tales and legends , following the example of Wilhelm Grimm and Karl Simrock .

The sons Oswald Zingerle and Wolfram Zingerle came from his second marriage to Anna Maria von Kripp zu Krippach and Prunnberg . His son-in-law was the historian Franz von Wieser .

"Aurora"

Together with Franz Josef Vonbun and the Brixen theology professor Franz Bole , he founded the Aurora literary association in Innsbruck in 1843 . Its members gave themselves "knight names". They meet twice a week to recite poems or essays. They read classics and romantics, on the birth and death of which Aurora celebrates festivals. They also went on excursions and had carousing parties.

"Walther Academy"

Summersberg Castle

Zingerle acquired Summersberg Castle in Gufidaun from the 14th century in 1880 and founded the “Walther Academy”. The art historian Carl Kraus describes the “Walther Academy” as “a kind of Arthurian round in a symbolic number of twelve, during which, among other things, recitations were held in medieval languages”. Members included Karl von Blaas , professor of history painting at the Vienna Academy, Robert Russ , Viennese landscape and architecture painter, Georg Mader , Innsbruck history painter , and the two young genre and history painters Franz Defregger and Alois Gabl . At the same time, the ladies had a “Minnehof”. In 1890, when he retired, Emperor Franz Joseph awarded him the title of noble noble von Summersberg .

Summersberg Castle is still inhabited today by the descendants of Ignaz Vinzenz Zingerle, but cannot be visited.
