Pflersch ( Italian Fleres ) is a fraction of the municipality of Brenner in the Pflersch Valley in South Tyrol ( Italy ). The Pflersch fraction has about 650 inhabitants. The main town of Pflersch is the hamlet of Boden (1246 m above sea level), in which the parish church, the elementary school, the parish inn (Widum), the club house, the garage of the mountain rescue service, a grocery and haberdashery shop Electricity plant and the hall of forest interests. There are also two hotels and several houses with guest rooms.
The Pflerschtal is considered to be a scenically beautiful and touristically undeveloped valley. It is still characterized by the mountain farming culture, which is reflected in the well-tended landscape. Mining used to play a major role in the valley, and tunnel entrances can still be found today. Pflersch is connected to Gossensaß and Sterzing by a bus line , and the Pflersch stop of the Brenner Railway also existed until the second half of the 20th century .
history
In the years 1190-1196, the place is on the occasion of the ownership of the Brixen Holy Cross Hospital by Bishop Heinrich III. von Brixen first documented the name “ Phlers ”. Settlements near the stone farms in the innermost section of the valley are documented as early as the 13th century.
In 1929, the previously independent municipality of Pflersch, which included the inner and outer fractions, was merged with the neighboring municipalities of Brenner and Gossensaß to form today's municipality of Brenner with its seat in Gossensass . Thus the two factions merged and formed the current one.
population
The inhabitants of the valley are called Pflerer , mostly referring to the inhabitants of the inner part of the valley. The residents of Innerpflersch belong to the Pflersch parish, which is the parish church of the Catholic church of St. Anthony Abbot. The residents of Ausserpflersch, however, belong to the parish of Gossensaß. This ancient order explains age-old disagreement among the population, which still causes many a quarrel.
Most of the working people do their work outside the valley, in the greater Sterzing area. Many farm owners still stick to cattle farming and have a job to support the family.
geography
In contrast to the other larger fractions of the municipality of Brenner, the street villages of Brenner and Gossensaß, Pflersch is a scattered settlement . The hamlets and farms of the fraction extend from Nasstal at the beginning of the valley to Stein ( 1418 m ). A fundamental distinction is made here between Ausserpflersch and Innerpflersch. The border is located on the south side along the Schreiergraben, in the valley floor it forms the Pflerscher Bach and on the north side the Öttlgraben separates the valley parts from each other.
The main hamlet of Pflersch is indicated by the place name sign as St. Anton , but this name is more recent and not in use by the local population. The historical place name Boden appears as early as 1336. As part of the fascist Italianization of South Tyrol, Boden was quickly renamed S. Antonio . This new coinage was derived from the patronage of the parish church consecrated to St. Anthony. When the official use of German place names was permitted again in the post-war period, the German re-translation of St. Anton crept into official documents in ignorance of the actual historical toponym .
The hamlets of Ausserpflersch are Gattern, Nasstal, Schlag, Vallming, Säge, Kiegersengern and Ast. The hamlets of Innerpflersch are Reißenschuh, Bichl, Anichen, Raut, Noppenaue, Hof, Artztal, Blasbichl, Tschingl, Boden, Erl, Innerstein and Auserstein.
Valley life
The diverse interests of the “Pflerer” are also reflected in the flourishing club life.
In Innerpflersch there is a church choir, a rifle company, a music band, a singing community, a theater club, a football leisure club, an AVS local office and a KVW local group.
The local volunteer fire brigade is an association of fire fighters from Inner- and Ausserpflersch, which is based in Innerpflersch. The two parts of the valley are equally part of the forest interest group and the electricity cooperative, with almost all households included and members. The organizations that supply the population with local wood and electricity are based in Anichen zu Innerpflersch.
Even "Ausserpflerer" who do not participate in the latter associations, donate their time to an association; they usually join someone from Gossensaß. This in turn is related to the church belonging to Gossensass.
There are also associations in which people from Innerpflersch, Ausserpflersch and the rest of the municipality face each other, such as the mountain rescue, the local farmers 'council, the farmers' organization, the beekeeping association and the hunting association.
In Innerpflersch there are also two folk music groups: the “Maschlmusig” from Bichl and the “Pflerer Gitschn”.
