geography

Neighboring communities

history

The name Mötz has a pre-Roman root, which indicates a very early settlement. An alleged first mention in a document of Heinrich the Lion from 1166 as a mezzis is considered a learned forgery of the 19th century. In the Inntaler tax book of 1312, Metsch is named as a subdivision of the Petersberg court .

Originally part of the municipality of Mieming , Mötz only became an independent municipality in 1959.

In Mötz there was already a bridge over the Inn in 1290, which made the place important as a traffic junction and starting point for shipping on the Inn.

coat of arms

Shield divided by gold and blue, in the upper half of the shield part of a black raft made of four trunks, protruding from the upper edge of the shield.

The municipal coat of arms, awarded in 1973, indicates with the raft and the blue field that Mötz was the starting point of the Inn rafting to Hall.

Yeniche

Mötz also belongs to the habitat of the Yeniche who settled outside the village in the Mötzer Klamm .

In the area, the Yeniche are known as "Karrner" because they did not pursue any conventional occupation, but traveled by cart. They also earned their living as broom-makers, pan-tinkers and beggars. They are known in the village and in the surrounding area, but also under the name “Laninger” or Jenische, elsewhere in the Alpine region also as Dörcher, terms that are consistently negative.

Jeni groups with a developed over generations own culture and a varying depending on the group or region internal group language Jenisch in all German-speaking countries and some neighboring countries (especially in France and the Benelux countries) to be found. Yeniche in North and South Tyrol have not been researched very much. Its spread, especially in the Tyrolean Oberinntal, is said to go back to the 17th century, when crop failures, overpopulation and the fragmentation of land caused by inheritance law forced many people to leave the village community and pull carts across the country. They developed into a not insignificant economic factor by supplying the sedentary population with essential goods and services that would not have been available in times of insufficient local supplies.

Even before the time of the Nazi regime, they were often discriminated against and during the Nazi deported to labor and concentration camps then as "asocial". Today the Yenish Cultural Association of Austria campaigns for their recognition as a national minority.

Economy and Infrastructure

Mötz has few local businesses and therefore a high proportion of out-of-home commuters. There are 16 farms with a total of 79 hectares of agricultural land. 45 people are employed in these companies (as of 2000).

Mötz is mainly a residential area, but plays a smaller role in tourism in the central Upper Inn Valley in summer.

traffic

The place can be reached via the Inntal motorway , exit Mötz, and via the Arlbergbahn (regional transport).

education

Mötz has an elementary school, a kindergarten and a music school. In the autumn of 1966, the Silz / Mötz secondary school began operating in the primary school building in Silz (Tyrol) . From September 1976 classes took place in the newly built main school building in Silz. In October 1984 the polytechnic course and the multi-purpose hall were inaugurated there.
