Schreckbichl (more rarely Schreckbühel ) is a district of Girlan , a fraction of the municipality of Appiano in South Tyrol ( Italy ) located near Bolzano . The scattered settlement is at 486  m slm slightly higher than the Girlaner town center on the northern foothills of the Mitterberg (at the transition to the Kaiserberg ) and is dominated south by the Wilder-Mann-Bühel ( 639  m slm ).

The place is important in terms of wine industry and is known nationwide thanks to the Schreckbichl winery .

Surname

The place name derives from the Old High German scrēcchôn meaning “to jump” and “ scare ” (“outstanding rock ”), meaning a settlement on an outstanding elevation. In 1355, with Chunradus dictus Geislitz de Niderschrechpuhel , the district of Niederschreckbichl, which has since disappeared, is documented.

history

Schreckbichl was first mentioned in the 12th century. The earliest mention is due to a traditional note of the wealthy Baumburg monastery from the years 1139–1145, in which a Wernhere de Screcbuhilen appears as a witness. The location is also in the entire Tyrolean Urbar Count Meinhard II. Of 1288 as ze Schrekelpuhel named because the prince decreed here on taxable property. A list of members of the community of Girlan and of Schreckbichl ( universitas ville Guerlan et loci Schreckpuhel ) has been handed down from 1324 , in which representatives of the community cede common land to the Stams monastery .

Attractions

The center of the village is determined by the Holy Cross Chapel dating from the early 19th century. The simple building with a straight choir, lunette and arched windows was supplemented and assigned a bell tower in 1823 . The frescoes with St. Urban (on the ceiling), the Lamb of God and the Crucifixion of Christ (in the apse ) are by Albert Stolz and were executed in 1937. The church was listed as a historical monument in 1977 .

The townscape is largely determined by wine yards , including the Fischer, the Harrer, the Ebner and the Marklhof, the latter once owned by Steingaden Monastery and today by Neustift Monastery .
