history

Alter Widum (parish)
St. Nicholas Church Ischgl

The valley was settled by Rhaeto-Romans from the Engadine around 1000 years ago and by the Walsers in the 13th century . Yscla is Rhaeto-Romanic for "island", so probably a cleared name . The place was formed around the church as a cluster of villages on the alluvial cone of the Fimbabach stream . Around 1390 there are five buildings here, Grafenhof, Ruerenhof, Ydthof, Hintergrist and Großhof , which probably date from the 10th century.

The mountain farming village originally belonged to Nauders and the Lower Engadin (until 1652) and thus ecclesiastically to Sins (Sent) , Diocese of Chur (until 1807). Until the 15th century, the dead had to be taken to the local St. Peters Church for burial.

  • In 1427 Ischgl became its own court seat for the middle Paznaun, at that time it is named with eleven houses (including the background).
  • The Nikolaus-und-Achatius-Kirche was mentioned for the first time in 1443 and was consecrated again in 1483 after extensions.
From this time on, a pastor is also recorded here, but Ischgl was initially a parish exposition and was still subject to Sins.
  • In 1460 Archduke Siegmund granted the poor community the privilege of exporting cattle duty-free and importing grain for them, which ensured a certain level of prosperity.
  • The parish of Ischgl was probably established in the 16th century when Chur-Raetia became Calvinist.
  • When Tyrol lost the Lower Engadine in 1652 (according to the Treaty with the Three Leagues in the Peace of Westphalia ), trade in the Churrätische came to a standstill.
  • In 1655 the church was finally rededicated as an independent parish church.
  • In 1673 a fire destroyed the entire village, only three houses remained.
  • In 1755 the church was rebuilt.
  • In 1791 the place belonged temporarily to the Naudersberg court .
  • In 1807, during the Bavarian occupation, the parish was detached from Chur and attached to the diocese of Trento , returned to Chur in 1816, but were looked after by the diocese of Brixen in provisional administration . The parish belonged to the Provikariat Dalaas .
  • In 1811 there were 36 houses with 306 inhabitants, in 1824 there were 644 people in the entire village.

In the 19th century there was economic hardship, trade no longer played a role in Paznaun and agriculture was not enough to feed the population during the little “Ice Age” . At the turn of the 20th century, the place reached a low point with 200 and the town with 460 inhabitants. At the same time, however, tourism began, and the first Alpine refuges were built in the late 1880s.

In the post-war years, winter sports then became a central economic factor. The first cable car in Ischgl was built in 1963, and today the area operates as the Silvretta Arena .

The former image of a mountain farming village has been completely lost in recent decades in favor of a hotel complex. Ischgl is now an example of mass and event tourism in après-ski .

The Madlein avalanche is a constant threat to the village; in the last century it came to the center of the village about ten times, and in 1817 and 1984 it drove into the village. The avalanche barrier was worked on for 35 years and the project, which cost more than 16 million euros, was completed in 2010.
