history

The medieval connection from Innsbruck to the west into the Oberinntal and the Seefelder Sattel led over the Innbrücke , the Höttinger Gasse and along today's Schneeburggasse to the Allerheiligenhöfe. As a replacement for this so-called Upper Way or Old Country Road, Ferdinand II had the New Country Road built through the Au on the valley floor from 1595 , which was less arduous, but at risk of flooding. Until the first half of the 20th century, it ran completely through an undeveloped area. The first poplars were planted between 1806 and 1814 and replaced with new trees in the 1960s.

Since 1654 seven wayside shrines led from the Höttinger Au along the Kranebitter Allee to the subsidiary church of the Visitation of the Virgin Mary in Kranebitten, built in 1624. Of the originally seven wayside shrines from Höttinger Breccie with rosary secrets , five have been preserved, some of which were re-erected in the 20th and 21st centuries and provided with newly designed pictures by Anton Christian , Peter Blaas, Raimund Wörle and Jutta Katharina Kiechl.

For the construction of the tram from 2013 to 2016, the original route of Kranebitter Allee between Vögelebichl and Technikerstraße was adapted for the tram and the street south of the row of trees was newly laid.

traffic

The entire course of the Kranebitter Allee forms part of the Tiroler Straße (B 171) and represents an important traffic axis from the city center to the west (residential areas in Hötting West, Inntalautobahn, Völs, Zirl).
