geology
The Alpine Rhine Valley is an atypical for the Alps, filled with young loose rock and several hundred meters deep. 14,000 years ago this tub was still filled with water and thus part of Lake Constance , but was then gradually filled with sediments from the Rhine and its tributaries, especially the Ill and Frutz , so that about 4000 years ago the Rhine delta as far as Lustenau advanced and the area of Mäder silted up. The soil in Mäder is therefore a typical alluvial soil made of coarse to fine alluvial material.
Nature reserves and natural monuments
A former gravel pit in the north corner of the municipality was placed under landscape protection as the Mäder sand pit in 1976 . It offers the endangered sea buckthorn and a small population of pond frogs a home and serves as a resting place for migrating water birds.
A white poplar , a common oak and a white willow in the municipal area of Mäders are designated as natural monuments and are therefore under special protection.
3D model of the municipality
The Kairos - Institute for Impact Research and Development , Bregenz has developed a new tool for the representation of spatial planning . Mäder is a pilot project: According to national data from laser scans via aircraft, a 3D model of the landscape on a scale of 1: 1000 was 3D printed, which also shows all the houses in three dimensions. A multi-colored zoning plan or a historical aerial photo can be projected onto the white model from above . Even cartography laypeople should gain a good impression.
history
In the Middle Ages, Mäder belonged to the Reichshof Kriessern and was first mentioned in 1294 as “in the Mederen”. In 1513 the area came to Austria. The Habsburgs ruled the places in Vorarlberg alternately from Tyrol and Upper Austria (Freiburg im Breisgau).
From 1805 to 1814 the place belonged to Bavaria, then again to Austria. Until 1806 Mäder was incorporated into the Rankweil-Sulz court in the Feldkirch reign. Mäder was repeatedly hit by floods from the Rhine : So it came in the Rhine Valley on June 15, July 2 and August 28, 1817 to floods. On August 28, in particular, numerous dam breaches were recorded. On the Vorarlberg side, the Rhine broke through the dams at Ruggell, Bangs, Meiningen, between Koblach and Mäder, at Brugg and in Gaißau and caused great damage on both sides of the valley. In 1824 the mayor Johann Josef Ender rode to Vienna and managed to get the state to take over the measures to regulate the Rhine and build the dams.
Mäder has belonged to the Austrian state of Vorarlberg since it was founded in 1861. In 1892, the international regulation of the Rhine was adopted by a state treaty and implemented in the following years. After World War II, 1945 to 1955, the place was part of the French occupation zone in Austria.
Population development
The proportion of foreigners at the end of 2002 was 11.5%.
