history
See: Church History
Today, Boden has fewer than 50 inhabitants and is struggling with heavy emigration.
Avalanche accident
On February 10, 1984, Boden was struck by an avalanche that destroyed several buildings in the town. As there were no human lives to complain about, a summit cross was erected on the Habart as a thank you. In the meantime, this avalanche line is so well secured by the avalanche barriers that this avalanche cannot recur as far as humanly possible.
tourism
In summer , Boden , which is centrally located in the Lechtal Alps , is the starting point for many hikes in the mountains. Several AV huts are popular hiking destinations, such as the Hanauer Hütte ( 1922 m ), the Anhalter Hütte ( 2038 m ) or the Muttekopfhütte ( 1942 m ). There are also summit tours (e.g. Falscher Kogel, Kogelseespitze , Wetterspitze ) for hiking and climbing.
In winter, Boden specializes mainly in ski school groups thanks to gentle ski meadows with two practice lifts near the village. Boden only gained popularity as a starting point for ski tours in recent years.
Worth seeing
Church of St. Joseph in Boden
The first chapel in Boden was first mentioned in a document in 1742. In 1808 the Archbishop gave permission for mass offerings to be made in the chapel. Shortly after the chaplain foundation, the first chaplain, Johann Leitgeb, was ordered to Boden. In the following years a sacristy, a pulpit and a wooden tower with two bells were added.
In 1838 the new church was built according to the plan by Johann Anton Falger from Elbigenalp. The high-quality baroque organ (prospectus with late baroque acanthus leaf tendrils and Regence bandwork) was built around 1720. It originally stood in the demolished previous building of today's parish church Häselgehr . This probably the oldest organ in the Reutte district was bought by the villagers in 1843 and moved here. The single-manual balustrade organ with a mechanical sliding drawer and eight registers has a short pedal, i.e. the tones in the pedal are from left to right: C, F, D, G, E, A, B, B, c, C sharp, D, Eb, which requires rethinking when playing and is not that easy.
In 1844 the tower partially collapsed, but it was rebuilt a year later, albeit not quite as high. In 1864, Bishop Vinzenz Gasser inaugurated the newly built Josefskirche. In 1874 three bells are mentioned, the middle one of which was cracked. The largest of the three bells is historically memorable. It was donated by the then Prince of Tyrol. In 1630 it had to be cast, this was made possible by a donation from the Bishop of Passau. Why this bell was so favored is not recorded in any chronicle. On their inscription is: "My sound, I will send it out and call the people to the house of God". The high altar from 1840 consists of a neo-Romanesque structure with the figures of St. Joseph with Jesus, Peter and Paul . The left side altar is designed in neo-Romanesque style and adorned with a neo-Gothic statue of the Sacred Heart; the also neo-Romanesque right side altar bears a neo-Gothic heart statue of the Virgin Mary. Glass paintings by Bernhard Strobl from 1908 show the Lamb of God and a pelican; In the nave there are statues of Saints Martin and Hedwig, installed in 1963 by J. Widmoser. The prayer room and presbytery are decorated with decorative stencil wall paintings. On the outside there are several memorial plaques, which remind of the many accidents in avalanches and the like, in which many people have died.
