population

Population structure

In 2013 there were 249 people in the community of Untertilliach, making Untertilliach the smallest community in the Lienz district. At the end of 2001, 99.3 percent of the population were Austrian citizens (Tyrol: 90.6 percent); by the beginning of 2013, the value had fallen to 91.6 percent. A total of only 21 foreigners were counted in the municipality in 2013, 19 of whom came from the EU-14 countries and two from America. In 2001, 97.5 percent of the population (Tyrol: 83.4 percent) professed their support for the Roman Catholic Church , one person was Protestant, one Islamic and four people had no religious beliefs.

The average age of the community population in 2001 was above the national average. 15.1 percent of the inhabitants of Untertilliach were younger than 15 years (Tyrol: 18.4 percent), 60.2 percent between 15 and 59 years old (Tyrol: 63.0 percent). The proportion of residents over 59 years of age was 24.7 percent, well above the national average of 18.6 percent.

Population development

Since the late 19th century, the community of Untertilliach has recorded significantly below average growth compared to the district of Lienz, with growth being also strongly negative compared to the regional average of Tyrol. Between 1869 and 1923, Untertilliach lost 28% of its inhabitants and marked an intermediate low with 333 inhabitants (1869: 460). Thereafter, the population began to increase slightly between 1923 and 1951, but could no longer reach the initial value. After that, there was another sharp decline in the number of inhabitants, so that the most recent figure was in 2013 with 249 inhabitants, an all-time low since the beginning of the record. The reason for the population loss is the high level of emigration. While this could still be compensated for by the birth surplus in the 1970s, in the 1980s and 1990s this was no longer sufficient to maintain the population figures. Since 2002, the municipality has recorded a negative balance of migration in nine out of sixteen years , with the birth balance also showing a negative trend. Since 2007, in eight out of eleven years, more deaths than births have been registered in the municipality.

politics

In the National Council elections in 2006 , the community gained media attention due to the completely unusual election result of 12.6% of the votes for the Communist Party of Austria (KPÖ) . In the state elections in 2008 , the KPÖ was again able to win 11.76% and became the second largest party in the municipality. In the National Council elections in 2008 , the KPÖ achieved third place with 18.8%, behind the ÖVP (46.5%) and the BZÖ (19.8%) and thus achieved their highest share of the vote at community level.

In the community there is a three-star hotel, an inn, several landlords of holiday apartments and the possibility of holidays on the farm . However, the tourist infrastructure is sparse. In winter the "Grenzlandloipe" leads through the community, in summer the hiking trails in the community area such as the Carnic High Trail can be used. However, the community does not have its own refuge.

traffic

Untertilliach is accessible from the Gailtalstraße (B 111), which leads from Sillian in the Pustertal to the Lower Carinthian Gailtal. The settlements of the community are all on or near the Gailtalstrasse. Untertilliach is connected to the public transport network by buses from ÖBB-Postbus GmbH, whose line 4416 connects Untertilliach to Sillian up to eight times per working day via Panzendorf , Tassenbach , Kartitsch and Obertilliach in around 35 to 40 minutes. The line runs via Untertilliach and Maria Luggau to St.Lorenzen im Lesachtal and has five stops in the municipality of Untertilliach. The next rail connection is in Tassenbach ( Drautalbahn ).

Supply and disposal

Untertilliach is one of only three municipalities in the Lienz district that had not merged with other municipalities to form a wastewater association up to the turn of the millennium. The connection of the municipality to the public sewer network was only decided in 2011, which means that Untertilliach is the last municipality in East Tyrol to be connected to the sewer network. In a first construction phase, the domestic wastewater from the districts of Winkl, Bichl, Schattseite, Aue, Untertilliach Zentrum, Kirchberg and Gaile will be collected and pumped to the Bergen wastewater treatment plant in the municipality of Obertilliach. The costs for this amount to 1.85 million euros. In the next construction phase, the districts of Wacht and Eggen are to be disposed of using wastewater, for which costs of approx. 540,000 euros have been calculated. The waste that arises in the community is disposed of by the Waste Management Association of East Tyrol (AWVO).

education

The first school lessons in the community are recorded in 1804, when lessons were first held in the old St. Florian Chapel. In 1885 the first school house was built, which was expanded in 1890. Today's primary school was built between 1955 and 1962. However, the number of students fell sharply as a result. In the 1979/80 school year 40 pupils could be counted, in 1989/90 there were only 20. In the 1999/2000 school year only eight pupils attended the one-class elementary school. Another school existed between 1816 and 1880 and from 1950 to 1967 in the hamlet of Eggen. To attend secondary school, the children commute to St. Lorenzen in the Lesachtal, the next grammar school is in Lienz.
