Pill is a municipality with 1198 inhabitants (as of January 1, 2020) in the Schwaz district in Tyrol ( Austria ). The community is located in the judicial district of Schwaz .

geography

Pill is located in the Lower Inn Valley near Schwaz. The settlement is formed by the village center in the valley, at the foot of the rubble cone of the Pillbach, and scattered settlements on the slope of the Kellerjoch (Niederberg, Hochpillberg). At the Maschentalbach , the municipality extends over into the Zillertal .

The once marshy valley floor was only turned into arable land in the 18th and 19th centuries.

Place name

The place name Pill was first mentioned in 1288 as "super Pulle iuxta ripam". Since the forms of the document refer to an original -u-, which was later renamed with a -i- the following syllable, the place name, following K. Finsterwalder, can be interpreted as an area on the water. The same basic word form can also be found in Apulia . Pill is therefore an apa name with the labial not shifted. The etymology is also geographically coherent, as the town center is both close to the Inn and is traversed by the Pillerbach.
