history

Patsch is considered to be the oldest village in the southern low mountain range, many field names indicate pre-Roman or Roman times settlement. The oldest documented mention refers to Pfrauns (Rinnerhöfe), which appears in the ownership records of Dießen Monastery as "Amfrun" and "Amphrun" around 1150/57 . Patsch is first mentioned in a document around 1200 as "Patsche" and "Pats" . In the early Middle Ages, the place was the center of a market cooperative and a mother parish . In 1256 it was incorporated into Wilten Abbey .

The construction of the Brennerbahn from 1864 to 1867 brought wealth to the community through the removal of land. The Obere Sill power plant, built in 1903 under Josef Riehl and located in the Patscher and Schönberger area, was at that time the largest power plant of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy.

Another important building is below the Silltal spanning 1963 finished Europe bridge .

Economy and Infrastructure

traffic

The Europabrücke with Patsch in the background (August 2011)

Patsch was already on an important traffic route in pre-Roman times. Indications that this traffic route was also heavily frequented in the Middle Ages, especially as the salt road from Hall to the south, was found in 1994 during canal construction work in front of the old Altwirt inn, which has now been demolished. A stone-paved road with deep ruts came to light during the excavation work. The stones were laid in the original way to the north of the Patscher elementary school. At the "Zollerhof" customs were levied. Located directly on the old Roman road, the Bär inn was an important trading and resting station for merchants as early as the 12th century; In 1809, Andreas Hofer met here several times with Josef Speckbacher for strategic meetings.

Patsch can be reached by traffic via the A 13 Brenner motorway with its own exit (exit 7) and from the south-western low mountain range with a road from Igls and Ellbögen (Patscher Straße L 33 and Ellbögener Straße L 38).

The Patsch der Brennerbahn station is about 200 meters below the town center in the Sill Gorge. The station buildings were demolished as part of the Brenner Railway renovation in August 2012 after the monument protection was lifted. Today four trains stop here on working days (two in each direction). The regional bus routes 4132 and 4141, which connect Patsch with Innsbruck, are more important for public transport.

The Patscherkofelbahn is a gondola cable car that leads from the 300 m elevated Innsbruck district of Igls to almost 300 m below the summit of the Patscherkofel. The mountain station is in Patsch. Due to a renovation that has been ongoing since April 2017, the route will change slightly and the cable car will be closed from October 23 to December 15, 2017.
