The South Tyrolean Unterland (often also Bozner Unterland , Bassa Atesina in Italian ) is a section of the Adige Valley in South Tyrol between Bozen , Salurn and Tramin . It is internationally known as a wine-growing region and the South Tyrolean Wine Road runs through the valley. Among other things, it is the region of origin of the Gewürztraminer .

geography

The lowlands are crossed by the Etsch , the Brenner motorway and the Brenner railway . Neumarkt is the capital of the lowlands . The largest place or the only city is Laives .

The communities of Auer , Branzoll , Kurtatsch , Kurtinig , Leifers , Margreid , Neumarkt , Pfatten , Salurn and Tramin , which are close to the valley, are counted as part of the Unterland . The name Unterland-Berg is used for the close relationships with the valley communities, which are located on the east side in the mountain areas between Etschtal and Fleimstal , Aldein , Altrei , Montan and Truden .

The areas of the municipalities of Kaltern and Eppan , which the Mitterberg delimits to the valley floor of the Adige, are not counted as the Unterland, but are called the Überetsch . Unterland and Überetsch together form the district community of Überetsch-Unterland . The South Tyrolean Unterland should not be confused with the Tyrolean Unterland .

Parts of the east-facing valley flanks of the lowlands are protected in the Trudner Horn Nature Park .

history

Since the early Middle Ages the lowlands, together with the Überetsch and the southern section of the was Burggraf Office , as so-called German share nördlichster district of the Archdiocese of Trent , but politically since the 13th century to the County of Tyrol and since the 14th century to the Habsburg monarchy bound . The church affiliation to Trento only ended in 1964 with the allocation of the area to the diocese of Bozen-Brixen . From 1868 to 1919, the entire Unterland belonged to the Bozen district . With the entry into force of the Treaty of Saint-Germain , the area became part of Italy in 1920. When the two provinces of Bolzano and Trento were established in 1927, most of the lowlands (all municipalities except Laives and Pfatten) were added to the predominantly Italian-speaking province of Trento. This measure was decided by the fascist regime in order to force the Italianization of the so-called “mixed-language areas”. On May 30, 1946, Castelfeder 's protest rally organized by the South Tyrolean People's Party demanded the annexation of the entire Unterland up to the Salurner Klause to the province of Bolzano and South Tyrol, which finally took place in 1948.
