Vintlerstrasse
The Vintlerstraße ( Italian Via Vintler , formerly Hinterer Graben , Hintergasse and Hintergasse ) is a street in the north of the old town of Bolzano . It is named after the Vintler family or their most important member, Nikolaus Vintler .
history
Around 1170/80 the planned market settlement of Bozen was founded, which consisted of today's Laubengasse and today's Kornplatz . This was followed by the expansion of the city from 1200 onwards, which led to the creation of further streets (today: Silbergasse , Dr.-Streiter-Gasse , Obstplatz ).
Around 1210 the brothers Albero and Bertold, Lords of Wangen, founded their own suburbs on their land in the east and northeast of the episcopal market. Since her brother Friedrich von Wangen was Bishop of Trento at the time, they were able to secure lower jurisdiction for the new suburb. In the area of this new suburb, Vintlerstrasse was laid out around 1215, together with today's Bindergasse and the eastern front of today's Weintraubengasse.
The Vintlerstraße was originally back alley and then back alley called. In 1901 the name was changed to Vintlerstrasse.
building
Franciscan high school
To the west of Vintlerstrasse is the Franciscan high school, which was founded in 1780 and adjoins the Franciscan monastery . The school building was built in 1882 under the director and naturalist P. Vinzenz Maria Gredler based on a design by the Bozen city architect Sebastian Altmann .
Goethe School
Opposite the Franciscan monastery is the Goetheschule, a primary school with German as the language of instruction. It was built in 1908 as a primary school for girls and a community school and was baptized in honor of the 60th anniversary of the reign of the Austrian emperor, the Kaiser-Franz-Joseph School. School operations began on November 14, 1908. In front of the school entrance is the Marienpark with the Marian Column , which was built in 1909 to commemorate the years of cholera in Bolzano (1836–1854).
Former gym
Next to the Goethe School was the gym of the Gymnastics Club Bozen 1862 , built in 1893 , which was decorated in 1919 by the Bolzano artist Rudolf Stolz with a multi-part mural depicting four scenes from the Nibelungenlied : Siegfried's entry into Worms, the Nibelungen's Danube journey, the feast at Pöchlarn and Kampf around Etzel's castle. After the annexation of South Tyrol to Italy, the gymnasium was left to the fascist youth organization Balilla and rebuilt in the "stile dell'impero". The Nibelungen cycle was destroyed. Until recently there was an Italian kindergarten ( Girasole ) in it. The house is currently empty. There are plans to convert the building to accommodate the "Josef von Aufschnaiter" middle school .
Registration and registry office
The municipal registration and registry office is located in house number 16 . Until 1930 the listed building housed a trade school .
Kofler Foundation
House no. 12/14 belongs to the Kofler Foundation , which runs a girls' home here. The kindergarten previously run by the foundation has been handed over to the community since the renovation in the 2000s.
St. Afra House
On the corner of Bindergasse is the St. Afra House , formerly the Bozen prison . A plaque commemorates the most famous prisoners:
"This house, where the Vintlertor once stood, formerly owned by the Diocese of Augsburg and named after the Augsburg patroness St. Afra, housed Andreas Hofer as a prisoner in January and the landlord Peter Mayr in February 1810"
During the Second World War the house was almost completely destroyed, only the cellars remained. Today apartments for autonomous senior citizens are housed in the rebuilt St. Afra House.
Schrofenstein residence
The eastern end of Vintlerstraße is the Schrofenstein residence, a medieval building that was redesigned in the 17th century and renewed in 1898. In the building there are frescoes from the period around 1400 discovered in 1885, which depict knightly battle scenes and probably go back to the Vintler family, who owned the residence until 1415. The house belongs to the Franz-von-Mayrl'schen Foundation and from 1826 housed a voluntary work center, which was also called the Spinnhaus . Today it houses apartments.
