The Innrain is a two-kilometer-long road in Innsbruck that runs parallel to the Inn from the old town in a south-westerly direction .
Course and design
Innrain starts at the Innbrücke as a continuation of Herzog-Otto-Strasse and is relatively straight to the southwest to the confluence of Egger-Lienz-road and junction Innsbruck-West of Inntalautobahn where it merges into the Voelser road. The section from Marktgraben to Anichstrasse is very broad and has a wide median with two rows of trees between the lanes. From Marktgraben to Bürgerstraße, this is used as a terminal for public transport; to the west of it is the Johanneskirche on the median strip with the Bischof-Reinhold-Stecher-Platz in front of it.
The eastern section to the university junction is part of the B 171 (Tiroler Straße), the western part of the state road L 11 (Völser Straße). At the level of the Freiburg bridge, the Innrain is crossed by the B 174 (in this section: Holzhammerstrasse).
history

The Innrain is an old road connection from the old town to the west. The eastern part has belonged to Innsbruck since the city was founded in 1180, but initially remained undeveloped and outside the city walls. Here there were cultivated fields as well as a wood rake, a wood storage area and the land on the Inn. At the wooden rake, for example in the area of today's university bridge, the Trift Canal branched off from the Inn and ran along the northern edge of the Innrain until it flowed back into the Inn in the area of today's market square. Around 1340 the Picken or Frauentor (dismantled in 1779) was built as an additional city gate in order to better reach the Innrain from the old town.
A suburb developed along the street from the first half of the 16th century, like on the other arterial roads (today's Maria-Theresien-Straße and Universitätsstraße). Until the middle of the 17th century, only the south side of this street was built on, including the Hechtenburg and Albersheim residences . From 1700 to 1705 the monastery and the church of the Ursulines were built on the site of the Hechtenburg . On the north side of the Innrain and the Trift Canal, the prince's court building authority building, today's state police headquarters, stood since the middle of the 17th century. From 1717/18 onwards, at the instigation of the Hofkammer, a closed row of houses was built between the street and the canal . In 1721 a chapel dedicated to St. John Nepomuk was built. It was replaced in 1729–1732 by the baroque Johanneskirche , which for a long time formed the western end of the Innrain.
In 1679 the weekly market was relocated from the old town to Innrain, which is better suited for this because of its width. From 1880, the fruit and vegetable market was held every day in the foremost part of the Innrain. In 1913/14 the market hall between Innrain and Innufer was built and expanded in 1960.
The traditional field name Innrain was officially established as a street name by the city in 1873.
At the end of the 19th century the Trift Canal was filled in. From 1911 the new university buildings were built in the western section of the Innrain.
traffic
The Innrain represents an important traffic axis from the city center to the south-west ( Völs , Mittelgebirge , Inntal motorway). In 2018, an average of 12,771 vehicles were counted per day.
The street is traversed by numerous inner-city and regional bus lines, the section from Bürgerstraße to Marktgraben also by trams and the Stubaitalbahn . The Marktplatz stop located there is a central transfer point in public transport.
buildings
In the section close to the old town there are several historical and partly listed buildings such as the Dankl barracks on the site of the former city castle of the Counts of Andechs , the former Ursuline Church, the Johanneskirche or the Albersheim residence , as well as public buildings such as the tax office and the Tyrolean police headquarters. The western section is dominated by university buildings , in particular the main building and the university library (north) and the university clinic (south).
