Location of the municipality | |
Trin ( political municipality in the Imboden region of the Swiss canton of Graubünden .
, German and until 1943 officially Trins ) is acoat of arms
Blazon : Four six-pointed red stars in gold (yellow) over a black tin gate .
The basis of the coat of arms was a community seal , which, however, was adopted in a simplified manner and was designed in the colors of the rule of Hohentrin and Hewen.
geography
The community is located about 12 kilometers west of the canton capital Chur on the southern flank of the massif, which is dominated by the Ringelspitz and the Crap Mats . The massif is part of the Glarus Alps .
The municipality extends from the Vorderrhein ( 600 m ) up to the 3247 meter high Ringelspitz. The three villages Trin, Digg and Mulin lie at an altitude of 800 to 900 m .
Trin is located on the main road between Chur and the Oberalp Pass . The village of Trin and the district of Digg have been relieved of through traffic by a two-kilometer tunnel since 1994.
The connection to public transport is provided by the Postbus line between Chur and Laax . The Digg settlement below Oberländer Strasse will not be passed through. In Mulin, the main road also runs a little above the settlement.
The largest stream also runs here. In the upper part of the Bargis high valley, still called Aua da Mulins and often seeping into the gravel in summer, it is now called Turniglia in the steep Val Turniglia before it reaches the large alluvial plain of the Flem in a narrow rock cut near Mulin . The sawmill used to be here. Today, the water is collected a good 120 meters above the road and turbines in the Pintrun power station.
Half of the Cresta Lake is in the municipal area of Trin; the other half belongs to Flims .
The Senda Sursilvana , a long-distance hiking trail along the young Rhine , leads from the confluence of the Rhine in Reichenau-Tamins below Trin Dorf through the steep Ruvreu slope and through the settlement of Trin Digg and from there to the Il spir viewing platform above the Ruinaulta in the Flims forest . Another 150 meters below this path is the Trin train station on the Reichenau-Tamins-Disentis / Mustér line , whose regional trains run every hour in the direction of Disentis or Chur-Scuol. The Punt Ruinaulta spans the Rhine near the train station .
history
The place was first documented as ad Turunnio in the middle of the 12th century . The name probably goes back to a pre-Roman root word * taur- extended by the syllable -ūno- , which can also be found in other place names.
A "Künges Guot" ze Trünsse attested to in 1325 indicates a royal estate in Digg. The two castle ruins Crap Sogn Parcazi and Canaschal are located in the municipality of Trin .
The old parish of Trins also included Tamins until 1459. The parish church was originally St. Pankratius in the castle and has been the village church since the High Middle Ages . The Reformation was introduced around 1535. In 1616 the community bought itself out of the dominion of Trins .

languages
Until the middle of the 19th century, the entire population spoke a Graubünden Romanesque dialect. Although this was a Central Grisons dialect, Surselvic was traditionally used as the written language in all communities in the Imboden district . In this capacity they were similar to the communities of Bergün and Filisur , where dialects of the Central Graubünden were or are also in use, but Upper Engadin was in use as the written language (there, historically, mainly for religious reasons).
Between 1880 and 1910, the proportion of Romansh spoken in Romansh fell from 95.6 percent to 87.7 percent. Until the end of the Second World War, the Romansh speakers remained a shrinking majority (1941: 75.4 percent). After that, German spread more and more, but the language change did not take place until the 1980s. In 2000, 41.3 percent of the population still understood Romansh. Besides Domat / Ems, Trin is the only municipality in the Imboden district in which German and Romansh is the official language. In the bilingual primary school, all pupils also learn Romansh .
