Cardoon
Kardaun ( Italian Cardano ) is a village in South Tyrol and a fraction and the seat of the municipality of Karneid . Kardaun has almost 450 inhabitants and borders directly on the South Tyrolean capital Bozen to the west .
Kardaun is the southernmost village in the Eisack Valley , which loses its gorge-like character here before it merges with the Adige Valley in the Bozen basin . At Kardaun, the Eggental branches off from the Eisack valley to the southeast. The small town center lies in the narrow valley floor between the Eisack and the Kardauner or Eggentaler Bach .
Today, the townscape is largely determined by the major transport infrastructures that come from Bozen to the Eisack Valley: the Brenner motorway , the Brenner State Road and the Brenner Railway . In addition, the Eisack Valley Cycle Route , which Kardaun has designed as a “ Eye Journey ” cycle art path, passes by .
In Kardaun there is the town hall of Karneid, a social and health district and a social center with a workshop for the disabled.
history
The location Kardaun is first documented as Kardun in the tradition book of the Augustinerchorhernstift Neustift, who is wealthy here, in the years 1190–1196 . The name is likely to go back to the Latin corda (with suffix) meaning “large rope”, with which the dreaded Kardaunbach or Eggenbach, which often causes flooding, was compared.
Historically, Kardaun was the location of a customs house on the Kuntersweg until 1760 , which had opened up the Eisack Gorge between Kardaun and Kollmann as an important inner and transalpine transport route since the middle of the 14th century . Gerichtsherrschaftlich expected Kardaun in earlier times to the circuit court Steinegg , such as deeds of the 15th century attest ( "ad Gardaun in iurisdictione Stainegkh" in 1426; "in Gardaun in court Stainegkh" 1490).
The Maria-Hilf-Kirche in the village was built around 1700, enlarged in 1875 and badly damaged in 1944 due to the bombing of the Brenner railway line during World War II ; In the post-war period, a newly built parish church based on a design by Erich Pattis was added to the side (with a facade fresco of St. Wolfgang by Johann Baptist Oberkofler ).
In the 19th and 20th centuries there was a porcelain factory in Kardaun that used the clay deposits in the area.
The Kardaun hydroelectric power station , which has been in operation since 1929 and is located on the opposite side of the Eisack in Leitach on the Bolzano municipality, and the Brennerbahn's Kardaun tunnel built in the 1990s are named after Kardaun .
