Tisis is a district of the city of Feldkirch in Vorarlberg and lies on the border with the Principality of Liechtenstein .
history
The place developed from a rural settlement at the beginning of the 13th century . The old Tisner Church of St. Michael is one of the oldest sacred buildings in the region and originally also served as a parish church for neighboring communities. The oldest still existing district, which is no longer part of Tisis today, is Heiligenkreuz, where some Jewish families also settled between 1635 and 1640. The district was sold to Feldkirch in 1896 for 1400 guilders. In 1925 the rural community of Altenstadt , Tosters and Tisis merged with Feldkirch.
Large parts of Tisis belonged to the Jesuits, who shaped the strongly Catholic, rural community for a long time. In the first half of the 20th century, the Catholic teachers' seminar (later the Pedagogical Academy) and in the second half of the 20th century the Feldkirch State Hospital played an important role in the development of the village or the district .
On October 1, 1943, Feldkirch was the target of an Allied air raid. A USAAF bomber association , which was supposed to attack a Messerschmitt plant near Augsburg , but had not found its target due to bad weather, used Feldkirch as a substitute target instead. Tisis in particular suffered more than 100 deaths because a hospital was hit by a bomb.
Sights and infrastructure
Tisis has two churches (one dedicated to the standard-bearer Michael , the other to the Holy Family ) and the Antonius Chapel, as well as an elementary school, a public library, two kindergartens, three banks, a hospital, a grammar school, a secondary school, two grocery stores, gas stations, Car dealers, a football club (SC Tisis, 2nd national class) and the Tisis volunteer fire brigade , which provides fire protection and general help. On the outskirts of Tisis there was also the oldest Muslim place of prayer in the city of Feldkirch, which was run by the Turkish-Islamic organization Millî Görüş , until the former commercial academy was demolished.
The place has a stop on the Feldkirch – Buchs railway line .
The old church of St. Michael is one of the few churches in Vorarlberg that still has a small ossuary built into the cemetery wall. Several centuries-old gravestones can be found in the entrance area of the Romanesque church. A tithe to the church is mentioned as early as 1218 (Count Hugo I von Montfort). The church, located on a rock above the agriculturally used former moorland "Tisner Ried", is said to have been built on the site of a pre-Christian shrine.
The Catholic parish now forms a parish association with the parishes of Tosters and Nofels. In addition to the Catholic and Muslim congregations, there is also a group of the Free Christian Congregation, which holds its services in the house of the preacher Franz Orasch and in the chapel of the regional hospital. A Tibetan-Buddhist monastery is located directly on the local border, but for the most part already in the municipality of Frastanz.
The border crossing in Tisis played an important role in March 1938 as one of the last escape routes to Liechtenstein and Switzerland. Hilde Meisel was shot here in 1945.
