geography

The 164.47 km² municipal area of ​​Sand in Taufers is mainly composed of two parts: on the one hand, a section of the Tauferer Valley with several villages, and on the other hand, the sparsely populated Reintal branching off from it .

Sand in Taufers includes the northernmost section of the Tauferer Valley, the valley widening called Tauferer Boden , above the neighboring municipality of Gais to the south . At the northern end of the Tauferer Boden lies the main town of the municipality, Sand in Taufers (860– 900  m slm ). To the north behind Sand, the municipality extends into the beginning of the Ahrntal , where the border to the Ahrntal municipality is also located. Slightly southwest of sand in the bottom of the valley are Taufer first locality Taufers and then at the output of Mühlwalder valley and at the border with Muehlwald the fraction mills in Taufers (850 870  m ). Mills, where the Mühlwalder Bach in the Ahr flows, is in the northwest of the Zillertal Alps counted Speikboden dominated massif. On the opposite side of the valley eastern the fraction is Kematen (850 860  m ). Northeast above the valley floor, finally, the fraction is at the point where the Reintal from the Taufer Valley East branches off Ahornach with its small center (1300- 1350  m located) and scattered farms.

The Reintal, which runs in a west-east direction and drained by the Reinbach , takes by far the largest part of the municipality of Sand in Taufers. The main town of the valley, Rein in Taufers (1540- 1590  m ) is surrounded on three sides by mighty mountain ridges, which to a large extent in the Rieserferner-Ahrn are placed under protection. The high valley is bordered to the north by mountains of the Venediger group , which are assigned to the Durreck group to the west of the Ochsenlenke . The highest peaks here are the Große Moosstock ( 3059  m ), the Durreck ( 3135  m ) and the Hirbernock ( 3010  m ). The ridges on the east side (south of the Klammljoch , a transition to East Tyrol ) and south side of the Reintal belong to the Rieserferner group . In the east, on the Italian-Austrian border with the state of Tyrol , there are (from north to south) the Dreieckspitze ( 3031  m ), Lenkstein ( 3236  m ), Fenneregg ( 3123  m ), Patscher Spitze ( 3082  m ) and Barmer Spitze ( 3200  m ) m ). In the southeast of the valley is the Hochgall ( 3436  m ), the highest point in the municipality. Of from there towards the west trending to the Taufer Valley Crest also contributes significant peaks, including the the south-facing Antholzer valley dominant Wildgall ( 3273  m ), the above the Western Vedrette constituent Magerstein ( 3273  m ), the Fernerköpfl ( 3248  m ), the Schneebigen Nock ( 3358  m ), the Gelttalspitze ( 3126  m ), the Black Wall ( 3105  m ), the Morgenkofel ( 3073  m ) and the Große Windschar ( 3041  m ).

history

General view of Sand in Taufers against the main ridge of the Zillertal Alps , without the Mühlen, Kematen, Ahornach and Rein fractions; Taufers Castle in the middle distance

The first mention of Taufers as "Tvfres" found in Brixen Traditionsbuch for the period 1050 - 1065 , the name "Sand Maurizien" (for Moritzen) and "Sant" (for the main town sand = Gries and river sediment that of the Verebnung Tauferer Boden forms) appear only in 1296 and 1410 respectively. The Tauferer Boden and the Tauferer Feld are attested in 1334 as "Touver field" and in 1360 as "Tauffers field" .

Since the late Middle Ages, Taufers, with its central point of sand, has formed its own regional court , for which there is a detailed description from 1834 by the then regional judge Augustin von Leys.

The community as it is today was formed in 1926 during the fascist era under the official and exclusive name of "Campo Tures" from the eight small communities Sand, Third Sand, Ahornach, Rein, Kematen, Mühlen, Mühlwald and Lappach. The latter two were soon separated and have since formed the Mühlwald community .

The place was the terminus for the Tauferer Bahn until 1957 .

economy

Thanks to the mining activities of the 15th and 16th centuries in the Ahrntal Valley, Sand in Taufers briefly became the seat of the Taufers mountain court and its own mountain judge , one of the central Tyrolean control centers for early modern primary production. After its rapid ebb, Taufers had only a subordinate economic importance until the middle of the 19th century. This in turn changed with the advent of tourism and mountaineering from the late 19th century. In particular, the opening of the ski area on the Speikboden in 1973 brought a great boom. Today the community has more than 180 hotels with 3,500 guest beds and 390,000 overnight stays per year.

In September 2011 the Cascade opened its doors, a combination of swimming pool, sauna and wellness area. The municipality hopes that this major project will provide new impetus for tourism.

Trade and industry also play an important role, especially in the valley floor, whereas agriculture is only of secondary importance today.

Social

Social housing in South Tyrol was only spun off from state welfare in 1972 as a result of the autonomy provisions; In 1974 the South Tyrolean Housing Institute had the first residential units of the regionally subsidized housing built in Campo Tures (Daimerstraße).

education

Sand in Taufers is the seat of a German-speaking school district . This includes the three primary schools in Sand, Ahornach and Rein as well as the middle school in Sand. The two primary schools in the neighboring municipality of Mühlwald are also connected to the school district.

In Sand, the only secondary schools in the Tauferer Ahrntal are located in the Sand in Taufers secondary school center , which offers a technical college for business and tourism, a high school for social sciences and a vocational school for care and social affairs.

Sports

The SSV Taufers has been organizing a three-day international handball tournament in the youth field every year for 30 years .
