geography

The 13 km long stream is a right-hand tributary of the Eisack . It rises in the eastern Sarntal Alps and flows through the Tinnetal to the Eisack valley . Its catchment area is about 56 km². The headwaters of the Tinnebachs is on the community to Villanders belonging Villandro Alps . With various tributaries, it also drains the south-facing slopes of Kassianspitze , Plankenhorn , Lorenzispitze and Königsanger .

Below its headwaters located about 7 km northwest of the village of Villandro, the stream first flows through the Tinn Gorge towards the east. On its course it has almost only left tributaries. Below the Gernstein Castle , it joins the Plankenbach (Weissenbach) coming from the north, its most important tributary. From here it turns in a south-easterly direction towards Klausen . The road from Latzfons to Klausen follows the narrow brook valley. Shortly before the confluence with the Eisack, west below the Säbener Berg , the state road 12 crosses the stream near Klausen. The Tinnebach and its tributaries have a total length of about 112 km. There are several power generation systems on them. Larger towns in the catchment area are Latzfons and Klausen.

history

The ecclesiastical border between the Archdiocese of Trento and the County of Bozen on the one hand and the Diocese of Brixen and the County of Norital on the other hand ran partly along the Tinnebach. After the county rights also fell to the respective Hochstifte through a decree of Emperor Conrad II from the year 1027 (with the naming of the Tinnebach as in Tinna fluvio ), this state border existed until modern times. The exact course of the border was, however, controversial between territorial lords, as they claimed ownership rights to the mountain area Pfunderer Berg or the Villandro mine . Only with the secularization of 1803 did demarcation lose its meaning.

The brook was of great importance for the urban development of Chiusa. Before 1511 there was a bridge over the Tinnebach in the city. The brook repeatedly led to floods , which severely affected the city. The city fortifications repeatedly suffered considerable damage. In the floods of 1584 people were killed in Latzfons. In 1733 the estuary area near Klausen was regulated, but the flooding could not be reduced. A particularly violent flood occurred in 1921. Here, too, people were killed. This flood led to the definitive end of silver mining on the Pfunderer Berg.
