geography

Kurtinig is a municipality in the Unterland , a section of the Adige Valley in the south of South Tyrol, and is located roughly in the middle between Bolzano and Trento just north of the Salurner Klause . It has several peculiarities among the South Tyrolean municipalities. It is unusual for South Tyrol that the municipality of Kurtinig consists of only one single settlement and with a total area of ​​1.99 km² has a relatively small geographical area ( Kuens alone is even smaller). What is unique for South Tyrol is that the municipality is limited to the intensively agriculturally used valley floor, which means that the difference in height between the highest and lowest point of Kurtinig is only 4 m and the municipality has neither rocky nor wooded terrain.

The center of the village is at an altitude of 212  m slm and is located on the orographically right (western) side of the Etsch, slightly offset across from Laag . The municipal area, which in small parts also extends to the left bank of the Etsch, is enclosed by the municipalities of Neumarkt , Margreid and Salurn .

history

Kurtinig is mentioned in 1276 as Cortinegum (from Latin: curtis = farmstead), twenty years later its affiliation to the Salurn court is attested. The area was a productive hunting and fishing area as early as the Stone and Roman times . With the neighboring Salurn, Kurtinig lies on the German-Italian language border and thus directly at the interface between two European cultural areas.

The town hall of Kurtinig

Kurtinig belonged to the County of Tyrol and thus to Austria-Hungary until the end of the First World War . Within Tyrol, Kurtinig was assigned to the judicial district of Kaltern until 1913 , then to the judicial district of Neumarkt ; both were again part of the Bozen district . With the Treaty of Saint-Germain , Kurtinig came to Italy in 1920 along with most of Tyrol south of the main Alpine ridge . When the two provinces of Bolzano and Trento emerged in these formerly Austrian areas in 1927, Kurtinig, as well as several other surrounding communities, was added to the predominantly Italian-speaking province of Trento. It was not until 1948 that Kurtinig was incorporated into the province of Bozen or South Tyrol.

education

In Kurtinig there is a primary school that is part of the German school district of the neighboring municipality of Neumarkt.

traffic

For motor traffic , Kurtinig is primarily accessible through the wine route that runs through the village center. The A22 and the Brennerbahn cross the municipality parallel to the Etsch . The latter offers an access point a little to the north - in the municipal area of ​​Margreid - at the train station Margreid-Kurtatsch .
