history

A document in the Frastanz municipal archive (1471) deals with a conflict between the so-called mountain and valley people of Frastanz. This document tells of four farms on Garfarberg that were inhabited by Hans Giger, the Stutzer, Peter Bertsch's heirs and Ytal Bertsch. It is not yet possible to determine with certainty whether these were the courtyards on the upper and lower stub or whether these courtyards were located somewhere else. There are several parcels of land in the vicinity of Stutz / Stutzberg / Bazora that have a similar name.

Surname

Stutz is a name that occurs often in Vorarlberg (e.g. in: Au , Bürs , Dalaas , Düns , Fontanella etc.), alone and in various combinations (e.g. Stutzalp, Stutzboda, Stutzbühl, Stutzhalde, Stutzwald etc.) .). Stutz is understood to mean something abbreviated (see for example: Stutzen (weapon) ). Stutz is therefore to be understood in the sense of "small".

protection

The flora at Stutz and on the Stutzberg was protected for the first time through the ordinance on the protection of wild plants in the area of ​​the Bazora. Today flora and fauna are protected by the Vorarlberg Nature Conservation Ordinance. In addition, the poor meadow landscape between Frastafeders (Frastanz) and Bazora, including Stutz and Stutzberg, has been included in the Vorarlberg biotope inventory. The Walgau biotope map shows that a unique mosaic of wet and dry meadows spreads out on the slopes above Frastanz and Nenzing.

topography

The subsoil between Bazora and Stutz consists of moraine material . The Stutz parcel is bounded on the eastern side by the Klöslefeldbach / Grappawald and on the western side by the Garsettabach (also: Valiserabach) / Garsettawald and the Saminatal or Samina . Amerlügen is about 900 meters as the crow flies northwest of Stutz. To the south is the Stutzberg 450 meters as the crow flies and the Rotte Bazora 900 meters. It is about 1500 meters to the north-eastern center of Frastanz.

There are several small iron springs here. The iron hydroxide appears as a colorful, shimmering film over standing water or is visible as "rust spots" ( yellowing ) on the ground. The iron content comes from the clayey and clayey moraine material from the Silvretta. An iron-containing sulfur source in or around Stutz is said to have been used in the 19th century . Above the Stutzberg there is a piece of land called: Sulfur water .

Flora and fauna

The Stutzberg, together with the Stutz and Bazora, formed a large, coherent, rough meadow landscape. Over the past 70 years, however, a large number of the meadows have disappeared and are now forested. Today there is a change between wooded meadows, reeds and forest stands.

Sports

Until recently, the Stutzweg was used by residents as a toboggan run in winter for decades. The natural ski run from Bazora to Frastafeders or Frastanz also leads past Stutz.
