geography

Tarvisio is about 750 m above sea level on the A23 motorway and the Villach – Udine railway line known as Pontebbana .

Until the 17th century, Tarvisio was often referred to as a small Tarvisio to distinguish it from the Greater Tarvisio ( Treviso in Veneto). The name derives from the river Tervis (today Rio Bartolo ). Other interpretations are based on the geographical location. Tarvisio lies at the intersection of three paths, so the name could also come from tres viis or tres viae .

history

The city has Roman roots and belonged to the Bamberg Monastery from 1007 to 1759 . As early as 1571, the settlement received the right to hold a fair on Bartholomew's Day .

In 1880, the then market town of Tarvisio had 2953 inhabitants. Of these, 2,735 were German (93%) and 137 Slovenian (5%).

In 1909 the community was elevated to the status of a city and was given a coat of arms. Until 1918 it belonged to the Duchy of Carinthia , thus to Austria-Hungary and was garrison town of the kuk Moravian-Silesian Feldjäger Battalion No. 5. After 1918, Alpini barracks, which are now used for civilian purposes, were housed in the La Marmora barracks , most recently parts of the Gemona battalion . Tarvisio is located on old trade routes and was also of mining importance. The city has long benefited from the small border traffic between Austria and Yugoslavia and Slovenia. Today tourism and especially mountain sports (mountaineering, trekking) and winter sports are important. The Karawanken , the Carnic Alps and the Julier offer interesting possibilities.

History of languages

Like the entire upper Canal Valley, the town was predominantly German-speaking until 1918 with a Slovene minority mainly living in the Raibl district. With the departure of the German speakers through the option of 1939 , however, they only form a minority compared to the Italians. There are four official languages ​​in Tarvisio: Italian, German, Friulian and Slovenian.

Attractions

The parish church
  • The late Gothic parish church of St. Peter and Paul goes back to a chapel built under Bamberg's Bishop Albert von Wertheim in 1399. As an inscription above the west portal shows, today's church was built in 1445, expanded in the 17th century with small aisles and in 1960 extended 20 m to the west. The frescoes on the outer wall from the 16th century were moved to the interior, along with the Christophorus picture. In the 1960s frescoes from the 15th and 16th centuries were uncovered in the choir. The neo-Gothic, colored glass windows in the apse were created in 1887, those in the nave in 1962.

    The high altar from 1722 is a six-column aedicula altar with sacrificial passages. The statues show the church patron Peter on the left and Paul on the right. The central figure of the Good Shepherd comes from the 19th century. In the shrine of the left side altar there is a carved and colored Coronation of the Virgin Mary from the Villach school (16th century). In the shrine of the right side altar there are figures of St. Anna with Maria as a child. The group was made in Val Gardena in the 19th century. The simple, baroque pulpit dates from the 18th century. The sound cover is crowned by an angel with a cross.

    mayor

    Renato Carlantoni has been the mayor of Tarvisio since 2007. During his term of office, the market is to be renovated and even more signs in four languages ​​are to be affixed to the offices: "The locals have the right to express themselves in their mother tongue."

    market

    The Tarvisio market was already visited by countless Carinthians in the 1950s, when there was still a shortage of goods in Austria. The “Fetzenmarkt” in Untertarvis attracted thousands of shopping tourists every day, mainly Austrians and Slovenes. In the 1990s, Hungarians, Slovaks, Czechs and Poles came here to shop. In the meantime, the market is rarely visited on weekdays and long-established business people speak of an enormous drop in sales. Business only picked up noticeably on the weekends. Above all, Villach with the new shopping center and the city center became the immediate competition.

    Winter sports

    In addition to the cross-country trails that are drawn across the meadows, there are alpine runs, newly developed slopes and a jumping stadium . Tarvisio has a long tradition in winter tourism and is economically dependent on it.

    The Alpine Ski World Cup stopped in Tarvisio in 2007, 2009 and 2011. One downhill , one super G and one super combination for women were completed.
