The Schneeburggasse is a 2.5 km long road in the Innsbruck districts Hötting and Hötting West .
course
The Schneeburggasse begins at the Höttinger Kirchplatz and leads slightly uphill on the slope of the Nordkette to the west, past the Großer Gott and turns into the Allerheiligenhofweg in Hötting West. Initially it leads through narrow village development, later through an area that was only built on with single-family houses and villas in the 20th century.
At around 2.5 km, it is one of the longest streets in Innsbruck. The highest given house number is 227.
history
The Schneeburggasse was part of the medieval connection from Innsbruck to the west into the Oberinntal and the Seefelder Sattel . The road led from Innsbruck over the Innbrücke and the Höttinger Gasse and along today's Schneeburggasse to the Allerheiligenhöfe . Only with the construction of the new road by Ferdinand II in the 16th century, which ran through the Höttinger Au on the valley floor (today's Kranebitter Allee ), did it lose its importance. In the late 19th and 20th centuries it served as the backbone of the expansion of the Höttinger settlement area to the west.
Surname
The Schneeburggasse takes its name from the Lichtenthurn mansion located next to it, which dates back to the 15th century and was also called Schneeburgschlössl after a later owner. Around the middle of the 19th century it was called Langgasse . During the National Socialist rule from 1938 to 1945 it was named Sylvester-Fink-Straße , after an SA man who was fatally injured in the Höttinger Saalschlacht in 1932.
