history

Mariahilf and St. Nikolaus in the plan of the Imperial and Royal Provincial Capital Innsbruck (around 1840)

St. Nikolaus-Gasse with the church tower of the parish church

At the same time as the construction of the first Inn Bridge around 1165/1170, Margrave Berchtold V (III.) Von Andechs founded a market settlement ( forum ) on the left bank of the Inn in an area that was then part of Hötting , which was named Ynbruggen after the Inn Bridge . In 1180 Berchtold and his son of the same name acquired an area to the right of the Inn from Wilten Abbey , where today's old town was built. This quickly gained in importance as the settlement on the other side of the inner side sank down to the suburb. In 1313 the special leprosy house on the eastern edge of the settlement was first mentioned. The intersection Schmelzergasse / Fallbachgasse / Weiherburggasse served as a public place of execution until 1731, known by the population as "Köpflplatzl". In 1320, Prince Heinrich of Carinthia confirmed to the court responsible for Hötting Vellenberg and the provost of Innsbruck the municipal rights on the left bank of the Inn.

From the 15th century, the name Anbruggen became popular , with the upper Anbruggen denoting the part above the Inn Bridge and the lower Anbruggen denoting the part downstream of the bridge. Only since the 18th century have the two parts been named after the local churches Mariahilf and St. Nikolaus. (The Mariahilfkirche was, however, outside the city in the Höttinger area.)

In the lower Anbruggen numerous handicrafts and businesses settled, including the court and town brickworks, a lime kiln , bricklayers and stonemasons. The foundries, including those of the Löffler family and the Büchsenhausen foundry , which cast some of the bronze statues for the tomb of Emperor Maximilian I in the Innsbruck court church and existed until 1854, enjoyed a special reputation .

Until today's Innstrasse was built, St.-Nikolaus-Gasse was the main traffic route. Rainwater from the gutters and wells that led water into the city often turned it into a dirty paint, which earned it and later the entire district the name "Koatlackn". It was not until 1829 that the alley was dried out and paved.

From the small church of the Leprosenhaus, consecrated in 1502, the later parish and church of St. Nikolaus developed. Since the church had become too small in the 19th century, a church building association was founded in 1864 . In 1881 the new St. Nicholas Church was built according to plans by Friedrich von Schmidt in neo-Gothic style and consecrated in 1885.

Instead of the ferry service between St. Nikolaus and Saggen, which had existed since 1836, a provisional and 1875 iron footbridge, today's Emile-Béthouart-Footbridge , was built. Until the incorporation of Hötting and Mühlau in 1938, St. Nikolaus-Mariahilf remained the only part of Innsbruck on the left bank of the Inn.

coat of arms

Since only municipalities are authorized to do so in Tyrol, St. Nikolaus-Mariahilf does not have an official coat of arms. As for the other Innsbruck districts, an unofficial district coat of arms was designed, which was adopted in 1993 by representatives of the districts' associations and corporations.

Since it is the oldest part of Innsbruck and the first bearer of this name, the coat of arms shows Innsbruck's oldest seal image from the 13th century in a red and silver split shield, in green a vertical silver bridge resting on three yokes. The optional silver-red split shield head shows the names St. Nikolaus and Mariahilf in black capital letters .
