The main town Terlan, behind it the slopes of the Tschögglberg

The municipality of Terlan is located in the Adige Valley between Bolzano and Merano . It comprises three villages: the centrally located main town Terlan ( 250  m ), south-east of it in the direct vicinity of Bozen Siebeneich ( 250  m ) and Vilpian ( 260  m ) in the north-west. All villages are lined up one behind the other on the orographic left , eastern side of the Etsch under the slopes of the Tschögglberg . In the valley floor , the municipal area also spans sections of the other side of the river; on the Tschögglberg it reaches up to almost 1200  m above the main town .

In the Adige Valley, Terlan borders on Bozen, Andrian , Nals and Gargazon , and on Tschögglberg on Jenesien and Mölten . Although the municipality is neither in the Überetsch nor in the Unterland , it was assigned to the Überetsch-Unterland district community for pragmatic reasons .

history

The place was first documented as "Torilan" in the year 923 in the tradition book of the episcopal church in Salzburg , which was transferred to royal property here and in Mölten .

In the late Middle Ages, Terlan was an important silver find . In the 15th century, about 1,000 miners in more than 30 mines were with the breakdown of order Terlan galena busy. The material was shipped over the nearby streams to the valley floor, where it was processed in the smelting furnaces located there. The silver mined was finally transported to the south via the Adige . Today some field names such as Silberleiten or Silberleitenhof still remind of this past.

In the late 15th century there were also disputes between the Terlaner (and Siebeneicher) village community with that of Gries near Bozen over agricultural usage and grazing rights in the extensive moss area on the Adige , which Prince Sigmund of Austria-Tyrol tried to mediate in 1470.

Parish Church of the Holy Heart of Jesus
  • The parish church of the Sacred Heart of Jesus , entrusted to the Teutonic Order , near the main road to Bozen in the Terlano district (fraction) Siebeneich with a partially modern church interior.
  • The parish church of Terlano to Maria Himmelfahrt was built as a high Gothic building in the 14th century. The smaller, Romanesque side tower already existed in the 13th century. The colorful glazed tile roof of the late Gothic tower from the 16th century is striking. The church houses the largest occurrence of frescoes in the countryside in South Tyrol. The church tower is around 75 m high and was built in the late Gothic style in the 16th century. It tilted over the centuries until it tilted about 10 meters. It was therefore removed and replaced with the original, individually numbered stones under the aegis of Provost Dr. Josef Weiser rebuilt. The last major restoration of the tower took place in 1995/96. The Terlan church tower is the third highest in South Tyrol. From today's point of view, the church tower clock is a special feature, because the large hand shows the hours and the small hand the minutes on this clock. Before the introduction of the more accurate pendulum clock at the end of the 17th century, there were only hour hands due to the inaccuracy of the clockwork. The old large hour hand was left in place when a small minute hand was added later.
  • The Gratl church is on the right hand side just before the end of the village on the road to Merano. In 1987 the private chapel was assigned to the parish of Terlan. The popular name of the sacred building comes from the fact that it was part of the "Gratl-Hof". The inevitable restoration took place between 1992 and 1993. Since then, several church services have been held here every year. The church is dedicated to the Immaculate Conception , as indicated by the statue of the Virgin Mary in the square niche in front of the main entrance.

Agriculture

Terlan is one of the most famous wine villages in South Tyrol. Terlan's tradition as a wine terroir goes back over 2000 years. The vineyards in Terlan begin at the foot of the Tschöggelberg at 250 m above sea level and stretch up to 900 m above sea level. The Terlan wines are characterized by a rich and ripe fruit component. They are strong and well structured, whereby the acid is integrated harmoniously. Very typical are light mineral notes in the fragrance, which come from the high mineral content of the porphyry soil. Furthermore, the Terlan wines are characterized by great elegance and finesse, which usually only develop with longer storage. Low hectare yields and careful, gentle vinification result in extremely long-lasting wines. Some Terlan wines show their full potential only after decades.

The apple-growing regions of the Terlan fruit growers are located in the heart of South Tyrol. The OG Terlan was founded in 1954. 258 members cultivate 712.82 hectares together. In 2008, a delivery volume of 30,575 t was achieved.

Another product typical of Terlan is Terlan asparagus .
