Neustift im Stubaital is a municipality with 4811 inhabitants (as of January 1, 2020) in the Innsbruck-Land district in Tyrol ( Austria ).

Neustift is the third largest municipality in Tyrol (after Sölden and Matrei in East Tyrol ) and one of the most important tourist centers in Austria with over 1 million overnight stays per year. A landmark that can be recognized from afar is the parish church of St. George, Tyrol's second largest village church, in addition to the snow-covered glacier mountains.

In the back valley, in the Neustift municipality area, the gneiss and granite peaks with 109 three-thousanders rise up to the eternal ice. Five glaciers (in the west of Tyrol also known as Ferner ) form a large glacier ski area, the Stubai Glacier , over 15 square kilometers .

history

Prehistoric finds from the early Bronze Age (around 1800–1000 BC) show that the valley was inhabited since ancient times. Some fields, alpine pastures and house names indicate pre-Roman settlement.

When Emperor Augustus with his legions 15 BC BC advanced to the north, the mountain people living here and their area were subjugated as the province of Raetia. In the following, the Romans left their traces through their administration and later through Christianization , as well as the many Rhaeto-Romanic field names and the family names derived from them:

Falbeson: val busana 'Sack Valley'
Ranalt : rovina alta 'High mud'
Pfurtschell : furcella 'Notch'
Tschangelair: cingularia 'Fence'
Kartnall: cortinal 'Courtyard' or 'fenced in piece of land'
Kampl: campus ,Field'

The lack of early German place names shows the largely peaceful Bauwar conquest of the 7th and 8th centuries, with a simultaneous long sovereignty of the Rhaeto-Romanic population, as is characteristic of mining areas in the Alpine region with the local expertise of the residents. Hermann Ignaz Bidermann reported in 1877 that, according to tradition, the German-speaking population in the front valley area could not communicate with the Rhaeto-Romanic Stubai people in the rear valley area in the High Middle Ages. Until the 16th century, at least parts of the population in the rear part of the Stubai were Ladins or spoke Romansh.

View to the parish church of St. George

Around 993–1005 the Stubai Valley was first mentioned as Stupeia , around 1400 the large community of Stubai was divided into five small communities: Telfes, Schönberg, Mieders, Fulpmes and “im Tal”. Although the name Neustift appears in documents from the 14th century as Niwenstift in the valley ze Stubai , it took centuries for the current name Neustift to establish itself alongside the place name in the valley . "The Tholer" ("valley people"), that's how the residents of Neustift are still called today. The community “in the valley” comprised 5 bars (neighborhoods): Neder, Rain (where today's Neustift later developed around the church), Milders, Oberberg and Unterberg .

King Maximilian I , who called himself the “chosen emperor” from 1508, was hunting deer, chamois and boar in the rear of the Stubai Valley. In 1505 he donated a chapel, but it was not until 1868 that the people of Neustift received their own pastor.

In 1516 the first church in Neustift was built by the Brixen bishop St. George consecrated. In 1772 it fell victim to a conflagration. In 1768 the construction of today's church had already begun, as the original one had already become too small. The pastor Franz de Paula Penz was the builder of the impressive Neustift village church. He was one of the most ingenious church builders of the late baroque in Tyrol.

In 1812 Neustift became an independent parish. From the outside, the church of St. Georg, a rococo building in the center of the village, very simple, but the interior is very splendid and decorated with frescoes by well-known masters. The parish church in Neustift is Tyrol's second largest village church. The “Glacier Pastor” and co-founder of the Alpine Club Franz Senn is buried in the beautiful cemetery .

During the Second World War, the SS had a high mountain school in Neustift, where prisoners from the Dachau concentration camp were also used for work.
