Vinadi ( ), German vineyard (near Finstermünz ), is the easternmost village in the Swiss canton of Graubünden and the furthest down the valley in the Engadine . She belongs to the Martina faction of the municipality of Valsot .
Surname
The name "Vinadi" is a newly coined Romanesque translation of "Weinberg", under which the farm was previously known alone. "Weinberg", on the other hand, does not come from an actual earlier or current vine planting, but, according to C. Täuber, is a folk etymological reinterpretation of wimberg, which in turn goes back to the Old High German wimî meaning "bubbling water, source".
settlement
Vinadi consists of three buildings: a restaurant, which was built as a log house, a former stone dwelling of the customs with three rental apartments today and the former customs kiosk, which is currently not in use.
Vinadi is about 90 m above the Inn and 500 m from the Altfinstermünz fortress . As part of the disputed border area known as the Novellaberg , it has only definitely belonged to Switzerland since 1868. Only then was it possible to build a Swiss road to Samnaun . The property and rights of use of the Schalklhof remaining in Tyrol remained unaffected. A stable belonging to the inn was no longer built after the last avalanche.
The languages spoken in the village are German and Romansh in the idiom Vallader .
traffic
Vinadi is located on the road from Tschlin via Martina towards Pfunds in the Austrian Tyrol .
In Vinadi is the turn of the exclusively via Swiss territory customs enclave Montague leading Samnaunerstrasse . Vinadi is approx. 6 km from Martina and also approx. 6 km from Pfunds.
archeology
In 1997 a high to late medieval iron sword was found 300–400 m north of Vinadi on a steep slope . The sword bears the inscription + NRFNIATEDNIATEDIATEDI + . Although this has not yet been understood, it can be interpreted as a magic spell when compared with other sword inscriptions of this time.
