Tramin road ([ Tramín ]; Italian Termeno sulla Strada del Vino ) is an Italian municipality with 3438 inhabitants (December 31, 2019) in the lowlands in South Tyrol .

The wine village of Tramin is known for wines made from the Gewürztraminer grape variety and the traditional Egetmann parade , which takes place on Shrove Tuesday in odd years. Tramin, located on the South Tyrolean Wine Route , is a popular holiday destination, traditionally especially for guests from German-speaking countries , because of its historic village center, its viticulture , its proximity to Lake Caldaro and the weekly wine festivals in summer and autumn.

geography

The municipality of Tramin, a total of 18.61 km², is located in the Unterland , a section of the Adige Valley in southern South Tyrol, on the orographic right (western) side of the valley. To the north of Tramin lies the Kalterer See , behind which the Etsch valley rises to the hilly landscape of the Überetsch with the communities of Kaltern and Eppan ; in the south, the next municipalities on the western side of the valley are Kurtatsch and Margreid . The main town, Tramin (240- 360  m slm ), and the south thereof, preferred Group Rungg (290- 320  m ) extending to the foot of the slope of the gently rising Mendel comb ; the fraction Soll (400 750  m ) north of the capital located on a slightly higher slope terrace.

Below the settlement area, Tramin has shares in the lower land valley floor, which borders on the neighboring communities of Kurtatsch, Neumarkt , Montan , Auer , Pfatten and Kaltern. With a territorial exclave, the municipality extends into the eastern half of the valley and across to the Adige . To the west, above the lowlands, the Mendelkamm , which is part of the Nonsberg group , rapidly gains height. Tramin reaches its highest point there at the summit of Roen ( 2116  m ), over which the border with Trentino runs.

etymology

The etymology of the place name Tramin is obscure. Cristian Kollmann uses an Eastern Alpine Indo-European * treminno with the meaning "passage, transition" as the origin of the name. Diether Schürr, however, suggests the u. a. in Tremosine , pre-Roman personal names Triumus were used as a reference point.

history

Because of the favorable location of Tramin there are early traces of settlement. In Rungg , an early Bronze Age figure menhir was discovered as early as the 19th century . The so-called Letter of Vigilius reports on the construction of a church consecrated to Saints Quiricus and Julitta in the second half of the 9th century and its incorporation into the Marienpfarrkirche Kaltern. The village community of Tramin, which was documented in 1241 as “communitas Tremini”, extended spatially over the entire area of Penon , Graun , Kurtatsch , Entiklar and Söll, which was mainly used for wine production in the Middle Ages . Trento prince-bishop Friedrich von Wangen is the second founder of Trento, who expanded the settlement, built a castle on the Kastelaz hill and introduced hereditary vineyard rights. Under Count Meinhard II of Tyrol there was a further expansion of the settlement. It was not until 1777 that the Trento bishops formally exchanged Tramin with the Tyrolean sovereigns. This long duration underlines the originally close ties to the bishopric of Trento , which had already led to the close legal reference to the city of Trento in the late 13th century; their real estate law was received in Tramin in 1297 as "ius et consuetudo domorum mercatus Tridenti". A private Traminer Leiherecht is attested even in 1467 as "the Cappellen to Tramynn right and gewonnhait".

The flourishing wine trade earned Tramin as an oppidum as early as 1451 and marched , that is, as a privileged market settlement ; The local coat of arms from the 17th century also points in this direction. A separate pastoral care, detached from Kaltern, was only obtained in 1414, although a separate cemetery is documented as early as 1230 and a church provost in 1328 ; the high church tower built by the Gothic stonemasons Hans Feur von Sterzing and Peter Ursel von Tramin underscores the importance of Tramin since the 15th century.

Until the end of the First World War, Tramin belonged to the County of Tyrol and thus to Austria-Hungary . Within Tyrol, the municipality was assigned to the judicial district of Kaltern , which in turn was part of the Bolzano district . With the Treaty of Saint-Germain , Tramin came to Italy in 1920, along with most of Tyrol south of the main Alpine ridge . When the two provinces of Bolzano and Trento were established in these formerly Austrian areas in 1927, Tramin, like some other surrounding communities, was added to the predominantly Italian-speaking province of Trento. It was not until 1948 that Tramin was incorporated into the province of Bolzano or South Tyrol.

In the course of the 20th century, the municipal area was significantly enlarged by two settlements formerly belonging to Kurtatsch : Söll came to Tramin in 1913 and Rungg in 1978.
