Moos is a fraction of the Austrian municipality of Matrei in East Tyrol .

geography

Moos is located in the Iseltal on the right bank of the Isel at the foot of the Lottersberg. The village with 144 inhabitants (2011) belongs to the cadastral municipality of Matrei in East Tyrol . Neighboring places are Huben in the south and Mattersberg and Feld on the other bank of the Isel . The center of the settlement of Moos is on Felbertauernstrasse in the area of ​​the old farms Auer and Göbler. In addition to the two farms, there are around 30 houses here, including two carpentry businesses. Following the road to the north are the farms Pohler, Hofer and Strimitzer. At the northernmost end of Moos is the Feglitzer farm near the so-called Feglitzpalfen, a rocky promontory that was partially removed in the course of the construction of the avalanche gallery for the main road. In addition, the Mooserhof on a terrace formed by the glacier and the Mentlis-Hof, located at around 1,260 meters above sea level, belong to the Moos fraction. Both courtyards can only be reached via Huben.

history

While the majority of the houses in the Moos valley are much more recent, the Lottersberg was much more densely populated in earlier times. However, the Berger and Gschtalln farms were abandoned due to their location at risk from avalanches and poor manageability. Only the Berger-Mentilis Hof remained. In 1869 there were 23 houses in Moos, in which 173 people lived. The Mentlis farm, which burned down in 1998, was rebuilt by its owners after the accident.

Buildings and sights

There are two chapels in Moos, each belonging to two farms. The Mooserhof houses the Maria-Himmelfahrt-Kapelle, also called Marienkapelle or Mooser Kirchl. The chapel was built in 1894 and consecrated by Dean Georg Unterpranger in 1895. The first fair was only read here in 1911, today (2004) there is an annual fair. The small building is a single-bay building with a polygonal end, which was built in the immediate vicinity of the Mooserhof. Above the rectangular entrance portal there is a small round window and a wooden roof turret that rises above the steep, clapboard-covered gable roof. The roof turret, which is also clapboard, has acoustic windows and is crowned by a ball and cross. Inside, the ceiling is formed by a barrel vault over a profiled cornice. The altar dates from the second half of the 18th century and was originally located in Mooserhof itself. The altar consists of a box Mensa of granite, with a frontal was provided by Christ and Mary as bride and groom surrounded by the wise and foolish virgins shows. The altarpiece again shows the Assumption of Mary. The small Stations of the Cross pictures were made from prints from the end of the 19th century.

The second chapel in Moos belongs to the Strimitzer-Hof and dates from the 19th century. The building made of unplastered field stones has a rectangular floor plan with an apse, above which a shingle-covered gable roof rises. A wooden roof turret rises above the rectangular portal, which was designed with arched sound windows and a steep tent roof. The roof turret itself is crowned by a ball and a cross. Inside the chapel there is an altar, the table of which has a carved antependium. The altar painting shows a half-length portrait of St. Mary and was only installed in the chapel during the renovation in 1997.

In addition to the two chapels, the Feglitzer Hof in Moos is also of cultural and historical importance. It was originally owned by the Michaelskirche in Lienz and was awarded as a free pen for a long time. The order of ownership of the farm has been intact since the first half of the 18th century. The Feglitzer-Hof was originally a Paarhof , of which the residential building is still preserved today. Parts of the foundation and the ground floor of the residential building date from the 16th century, while the upper and top floors are baroque.
