history

Quantalas around the year 1000 on a map from 1886
Kundl, the Inn (upstream)
Gasthof Auerwirt

Settlement activity can already be proven in pre-Roman times. In 1973 a grave field from the La Tène period with several hundred urns was found near a gravel pit . This burial place was already used in the Hallstatt period and later under Roman rule, as later excavations revealed. It can be assumed that this settlement was permanent.

In 788 Kundl appears for the first time as ad Quantalas in the list of goods of Bishop Arno von Salzburg in the light of documented history. In 1160 the Lords of Kundl who lived in Kundlburg were mentioned for the first time . The Kummersbruckers belonged to the most important Kundl noble families , who sat on the Kundlburg , first mentioned in 1213 , with which an independent court was connected.

The village court was dissolved around 1405 and its powers fell to the Rattenberg district court , but the administrative district remained. Mining (silver, copper and cobalt) gained importance in the 15th and 16th centuries, and so a smelting and smelting works (Kundler furnace) was built in the area.

From brewery to biochemistry

In 1658 Bartlmä Plank founded a brewery in which the "Kundler beer" was brewed. At that time a tunnel 50 meters deep and 15 meters wide was built in the mountain south of Kundl. Temperature and humidity are constant there and therefore the rooms were used as beer storage.

In 1927, what was now the Tiroler Aktienbrauerei Kundl took over the Jenbach brewery and soon after ceased operations in Jenbach. In 1929 Brau AG took over the United Kundl-Jenbach Breweries. Because of a lack of raw materials, beer production had to be stopped in 1943.

The headquarters of the Austrian Sandoz GmbH are now located at this location . From 1946, the then Biochemie GmbH produced urgently needed penicillin here .

The Black Mander in Kundl

Due to the ever closer theater of war of the Second World War , the Black Men were relocated from the Innsbruck court church to the brewery's rock cellar. From December 25, 1943, two figures were stored there every day. They were transported back to the court church after the end of the war.

Cheese stollen

At the beginning of the 21st century, the brewery gallery was used by Tirol Milch for a number of years to mature “Tiroler Felsenkeller cheese”.

Population development

Culture and sights

In Kundl, sacred and secular music has been cultivated for centuries. This later resulted in the Kundl band, which celebrated its 225th anniversary in 2010.

  • Catholic parish church Kundl Assumption of Mary: Already in the first documentary mention in 788 a church was mentioned. The remains of this building were later uncovered. The Kundl parish was an original parish . Today's Widum was built in 1576. Around 1680 the church received a new organ. In 1734/1736 the parish church was rebuilt in place of an older building. The exterior of the parish church is kept simple, but the interior is of captivating elegance. Outstanding valuable stucco and ceiling frescoes as well as the altarpiece of the Assumption of the Virgin , which was taken over from the old church, determine the interior of the parish church.
  • The branch church and pilgrimage church of St. Leonhard auf der Wiese is considered a top monument of the late Gothic period. According to legend, the pilgrimage church of St. Leonhard is traced back to an engagement: Heinrich II is said to have been reminded by his horse of an earlier promise to build a church here around 1019. In 1020 the church was supposedly inaugurated by Pope Benedict VIII in the presence of the emperor on a trip through Tyrol, but it is only "a baroque mystification" that was intended to promote the pilgrimage of the late Gothic church in the 17th century. The church building dates from 1480 and has no previous sacred building. At the time of Joseph II the church was closed. It would almost have been auctioned and demolished had it not been for the deeply religious farmers in the area who campaigned for the preservation of the church. Up until the 1930s there were three bells in the church tower, one of which was confiscated during the war years. In 2011, farmers in the area ordered a Leonhardi bell from the Grassmayr bell foundry in Innsbruck , which was cast in June 2012 and raised on November 11 at the Leonhardiritt 2012. At 3:36 p.m. the bell rang for the first time in the presence of Archbishop Alois Kothgasser . The bells have been rung electrically since 2014.

Events

  • On the Sunday after November 6th, the Leonhardiritt is held annually with a procession to the St. Leonhard Church, during which the local priest and hundreds of participants as well as many horses form a procession. A field mass is celebrated on a meadow opposite the church and then the blessing of the horses is performed.
  • The International Youth Film Festival Tyrol has been held in Kundl every two years since 2002 . At the 3rd film festival in June 2006, more than 200 films from 40 nations were submitted. The festival usually extends over three days and shows the best films of the competition publicly and free of charge. The International Youth Film Festival Tyrol is organized by filmmaker Emanuel Altenburger, who studied at the film school in London and also comes from Kundl.

Kundl's traditional football club, SC Holz Pfeifer Kundl , plays in the Tyrolean regional league . In addition to the usual sports, the trend sport Frisbee Ultimate has been played since 1995 . This sport is currently practiced in the INNsiders Frisbee club.

In Kundl, the strength athlete and later world champion Milo Barus began weightlifting and wrestling training for the first time as a journeyman miller in a sports club during his traveling years .

In the 20th century, Kundl developed into an industrial location and commuter community, which, in addition to several well-known commercial enterprises, houses the Lindner tractor factory and the pharmaceutical company Sandoz Austria , with Sandoz being the largest company in the whole of the Tyrolean lowlands . Lindner has been manufacturing tractors since 1948.
