Issing (Pfalzen)

Church of St. Johann in Hasenried with a well chapel

Issing (also outdated Issingen and Itzing ) is a cadastral municipality and fraction of the municipality of Pfalzen with approx. 350 inhabitants north of Chienes in the South Tyrolean Pustertal ( Italy ).

history

Issing is first mentioned in a document in the years 1100–1110, when a vassal of the Episcopal Church in Brixen , named Perenhart, transferred a farm in the village of “Issingun” to him. In the following documents the place is called "Issinge" or "Yssing". The place name is, analogous to Bavarian place names, formed from the personal name Isso and the derivation -ing (cf. the Upper Bavarian Issing near Vilgertshofen ) and, with other names in the area, refers to the time of the intensive Bavarian settlement of the Bruneck area in the early Middle Ages.

The Brixner Hof, attested to in 1100, is probably to be equated with today's Hof Mair-bei-Kirch.

Issing is located in the midst of the Pfalzner low mountain range about 950 m above sea level.

Attractions

Well chapel in Hasenried: Inside there is a little fountain in place of an altar , which points to an old spring cult.
Church of St. Johann zu Hasenried: It dates from 1457 and is consecrated to St. John. The beautifully situated church overlooks Schöneck Castle , where the poet and politician Oswald von Wolkenstein was probably born around 1377 .
St. Nicholas Church in Issing: The nave walls of the original church, consecrated to St. Nicholas , of which Johann Gattermayr is attested in 1440, have been preserved. The vaulting of the nave dates back to 1519, as does the four-sided choir with the spire.

Issinger Weiher: The moor lake is one of the few natural lakes in the Puster Valley.
