Schlinig ( Italian Slingia , Rhaeto-Romanic ) is a fraction of the municipality of Mals in South Tyrol ( Italy ) near the Italian-Swiss border . The fraction is located in the Schlinigtal , a side valley of the Vinschgau . In addition to the village of the same name in the interior of the valley, it also includes the hamlet of Prämajur on the slopes of the Watles above the valley exit.
history
Schlinig was first mentioned in a document in 1159 as "Sliniga". The small castle ruins of Kastellatz near Prämajur also date from the 12th century .
Schlinig used to belong to the original parish of St. Stefan . This is a sure sign that it must have been settled at least in Carolingian times. After the foundation of the Marienberg Monastery , pastoral care was taken over by its monks. The monastery became almost the sole landlord of the valley in 1220 and also exercised lower jurisdiction until 1875.
In the 15th century Schlinig received a small, Gothic, St. Church dedicated to Antonius Abbas , which was rebuilt in 1775 and added an onion dome. The late baroque altar (1763), two altar pictures with carved frames, Anna Selbdritt (around 1700) and Antonius von Padua 1679, a holy water stone made of white marble (16th century) and a bell from 1587 cast in Sterzing are part of the furnishings.
There is a remarkable church order from the Marienberger archive from 1532, which is written in the German language: The farming community chose annually on May 1 not only Dorfmeister and a Saltner (hall overseer), but also a host. Great attention is paid to protecting forests from overexploitation and grazing. German as the language of this document is remarkable because the surroundings of the monastery in the upper Vinschgau were still strongly influenced by the Rhaeto-Romanic language . However, after the Swabian War and the advance of the Reformation in the Engadine , the monastery - also as a strong arm of the secular authorities - played a key role in implementing a targeted policy of Germanization, which ultimately made Romansh as a spoken language extinct in Vinschgau. With various measures - including pressure and coercion - the people of Vinschgau were to be linguistically isolated from the politically now factually independent Graubünden and from the Reformation ideas that spread in the neighborhood across the border.
economy
Schlinig used to be entirely geared towards mountain farming. Around 1900 alpine tourism began to extend into this area as well. Today tourism plays an increasingly important role alongside agriculture, which continues to dominate. The big impetus for this is cross-country skiing in winter .
In 1901 the Pforzheim section of the German-Austrian Alpine Club built the Pforzheimer Hut near the Schlinig Pass . Around 1910, the pass crossing was made accessible by building the Felsensteig through the Uina Gorge into the Engadin (district of Sent ). After the war, the hut served as a base for Italian customs officers, who tried in vain to curb the heavy smuggling over the pass through their presence until 1972. A new hut, the Sesvennahütte , was built for the guests : 2256 m high.
Sports
Schlinig is a popular hiking area and starting point for tours in the Sesvenna group ( Piz Sesvenna , 3205 m slm and Muntpitschen , 3162 m slm in the background of the valley) and the Lower Engadine. It is an Eldorado for cross-country skiers. The nearby Watles ski area is easily accessible . There is also a challenging roller skating track in the village.
In 2008, Schlinig was quickly awarded the contract to host the Junior World Championships in cross-country skiing (February 23-29, 2008).
