geology

View of Matrei with the Rotenkogel in the background

Matrei is located on the inside of the Alpine arc or the south side of the Hohe Tauern , which means that the main rock of the Matrei mountain landscape consists mainly of gneiss and slate granite . The ridge and core of the mountains are formed by the Tauern window . The central gneiss of the Tauern window is encased in a slate shell. This slate shell is formed in the lower part of the northern municipal area by lime-poor or lime-free rocks, in particular mica slate with garnets , dark phyllites , light quartzites , white marble features and dark horn blends. To the south of this, this lower shell is followed by an upper or outer shell several kilometers wide, which extends from Raneburg in the Tauern valley to Matrei. It consists of calcareous rock such as yellowish and brown weathered limestone mica schist and limestone phyllites, which appear in the board wall and on the Ochsenbug as steeply erected plates ("boards"). Matrei itself lies in the so-called Matreier Zone , a narrow series of different rocks that extends east from Kals through the Virgen Valley to the west. The zone consists of phyllitic stones, gypsum , quartzite, light dolomite and dark limestone , yellowish-brown Rauhwacken , breccias as well as gneiss and green slate. To the south of Matrei, in the Iseltal valley, there is finally a zone of old crystalline made of light mica gneiss and slate with transition zones to slate gneiss and phyllites ( Zunig , Roter Kogel).

mountains

Due to its location within the Hohe Tauern, the municipality of Matreis is characterized by the numerous mountains. The highest elevations are in the Matrei share in the Venediger group . The highest point is the Großvenediger ( 3657  m ), followed by the mountain range in the east with the Rainerhorn ( 3559  m ), the Black Wall ( 3503  m ), the Hohen Zaun ( 3451  m ) and the Kristallwand ( 3310  m ) and in the south following the Weißspitze ( 3300  m ) and the Hohe Eichham ( 3371  m ). The Venediger group is also partly heavily glaciated in the Matreier municipality. Thus, in the valley of Gschlößtals with the Schlatenkees the second largest glacier in the Venedigergruppe.

In addition to the Venediger group, the municipality of Matreis also includes around half of the Granatspitz group and a small portion of the Villgraten mountains . The highest elevations of the two mountain groups are in Matrei's municipal area the Great Muntanitz ( 3232  m ) and the Great Zunig ( 2776  m ). The latter is also considered a local mountain of the Matreier, other important local mountains of the Matreier are the Kristallkopf or Ochsenbug ( 3007  m ) and the Bretterwandspitze ( 2868  m ).

Rivers

Tauernbach near Proßegg below the Prosseggklamm

The 18-kilometer-long Tauernbach in the Tauern Valley is the determining body of water in the municipality . In addition, there are its most important tributaries in the upper reaches, the Gschlößbach in the Gschlößtal, the Landeggbach and the Frosnitzbach . In the lower reaches of the Tauernbach takes on the Steiner Bach (with the famous Steiner waterfall ) and then flows through the Proseggklamm, which was made accessible by a hiking trail at the beginning of the 20th century. The determining river for the Matrei market itself is the Bretterwandbach . In 1346 he completely destroyed the place and later devastated it several times. For a long time, it was considered one of the most dangerous torrents in Austria. However, it has now been defused by massive barriers. Below Matrei, the Tauernbach flows into the Isel , which characterizes the southern municipality. The river valley has varied formations there and is accompanied by the Iseltalstraße and a cycle path.

In the Landeck valley, some streams are fed to the Stubachtal power plant group .

history

→ Main article : History of Matreis in East Tyrol

Matrei to the Middle Ages

The first archaeological finds in the area of ​​Matreis are from the early and middle Bronze Age (around 22nd to 13th centuries BC). At Matreier Klaunzerberg there was a melting point from the Bronze Age, where ceramic finds were made. There are later finds from the younger Iron Age , where typical ceramics of that time with shallowly painted or stamped patterns were unearthed near Matrei (Weißenstein). Around 100 BC The East Tyrolean area fell to the Celts , with whom the Roman Empire concluded a state friendship treaty. When East Tyrol and Matrei finally fell under the Roman Empire, the place played an important role as a starting point in the copper-rich Virgental and as the intersection of the mule track over the Felber Tauern.

Matrei in the Middle Ages

St. Nicholas Church (Matrei) from the late 12th century

After the fall of the Roman Empire, the Matreier area was settled by the Alpine Slavs and incorporated into the Slavic empire of Carantania . In the 8th century, however, the Slavic Empire came under the Duchy of Bavaria and was settled and Christianized by Bavarian colonists . In 811 the Archdiocese of Salzburg asserted itself as the diocesan ruler, but in the Middle Ages, Matrei initially belonged to the Carinthian Lurngau . After a phase as a count's manorial rule, the Salzburg archbishopric gained control of the Matrei area in 1212. However, due to the affiliation to Salzburg, the Windisch-Matrei nursing court was pushed into a marginal position, as it had been isolated from the surrounding areas. In the second half of the 13th century at the latest , Matrei also received market rights and Salzburg established a Salzburg original parish in Matrei . As a result, Salzburg also provided the largest landowner in Matrei. In the middle of the 13th century there was a dispute between Philipp von Spanheim , Archbishop of Salzburg, and Count Meinhard III. von Gorizia several times to devastation of the Matreier area, in 1252 the conflict was settled by the peace of Lieserhofen .

Matrei in the early modern period

Weissenstein Castle

Around 1616 there were 30 town houses in the Matrei market and agriculture remained the livelihood of the market place in the early modern period . In 1592 there were only 18 craftsmen and traders in the village who were organized according to guilds . Other sources of income were ore mining, transport and seasonal work in summer.

Triggered by massive tax increases at the beginning of the 16th century, peasant revolts broke out in Tyrol and Salzburg , in which the Matreians also took part in 1525. As a result, Matrei fell to Tyrol at short notice. From the middle of the 16th century, Matrei was repeatedly shaken by strong outbreaks of the plague and other epidemics . In addition, arbitrary tax increases repeatedly caused uprisings in the 17th century. The biggest uprising, however, came at the time of the War of the Spanish Succession . The Little Ice Age , the decline of ore mining and the mudslide of the place made the population impoverished. As a result, there was also a dispute with the Salzburg cathedral provost in 1703 , as the Matrei citizens were unable to pay the required taxes.

Matrei in the 18th and 19th centuries

The most important event for the Matreians from the middle of the 18th century onwards was the construction of the rectory and the parish church of St. Alban . In the course of the Napoleonic Wars , the Matreier took part in the Tyrolean defense against the French invasion in 1797. When Salzburg fell to the new Austrian Empire in 1805, Matrei became part of Austria. Tyrol, however, became Bavarian in 1805 and in 1809 Salzburg also fell to Bavaria after Austria's defeat. After the defeat of the Tyroleans on the Bergisel , the French also advanced into East Tyrol, occupied Matrei on December 24th and awarded it to the newly created Illyrian provinces in 1811 . In 1813 the rule of the French ended and Emperor Franz I ordered the unification of Windisch-Matreis with Tyrol.

The annexation of Matreis to Tyrol brought about a gradual liberation of the farmers and in 1817 a new division of the communities followed, which essentially reflects the current situation. However, the newly created communities of Windisch-Matrei-Markt and Windisch-Matrei-Land were only merged in 1938. Around 1860 the livelihood of the Matrei population was still based almost exclusively on agriculture. A local chronicle says that the Middle Ages did not end in Matrei until the 19th century. In addition to the general modernization in Austria, another reason was the incipient mountain tourism, which was added as a new source of income. Overall, however, the economic situation had not changed significantly in the second half of the 19th century. In addition to everyday needs, there were also serious catastrophes at the end of the 19th century. First, the village of Bichl burned down in 1895, and in the same year the Bretterwandbach devastated Matrei. In 1897 almost the entire market was destroyed by flames.

Matrei from the 20th century

The rear market (town center) in Matrei 2005

Since a railway line through the Felbertauern was discarded in favor of the Mallnitz - Bad Gastein ( Tauernbahn ) railway project and a local railway from Lienz, road construction was promoted to promote tourism. In the political arena, the dominance of conservative parties was retained after the First World War , but the Social Democrats were unable to gain a foothold in Matrei. At the beginning of the 1930s, however, the National Socialists were able to gain some popularity. From an economic point of view, tourism became more and more important in the interwar period, but there was no further upswing due to the lack of Felbertauernstrasse and the thousand-mark block . After Hitler came to power in Germany and the " Anschluss of Austria ", illegal National Socialists and new party members took power. The planned amalgamation of the market town with the rural community was decided in 1938, but East Tyrol came at the same time to the Gau Carinthia. During the surrender of the Wehrmacht , the first Allied soldiers arrived on May 8, 1945 .

The ÖVP has dominated politically since 1945 . The annexation of East Tyrol to Carinthia was reversed in 1947. Tourism experienced a boom as early as 1948, and in the 1950s it was also possible for the first time to increase winter tourism in Matrei. The construction of the Felbertauern Straße including the Felbertauern tunnel (completed in 1967) and the general tourism boom in the 1960s increased the importance of tourism in Matrei. After the opening of the Goldried ski area, sustained successes were also achieved in winter tourism. With the establishment of the Hohe Tauern National Park , the forerunners of which go back to the 19th century via the Alpine associations, the goal was directed towards gentle tourism, which is endangered by the planned Matrei-Raneburg pumped storage power station . In addition to the local population, who have organized themselves in a citizens' initiative, the district parties Greens , the SPÖ and the FPÖ are speaking out against the planned power plant.

Population development

From 1869 to the 1920s , the population decreased or stagnated. Since the 1923 census , steady increases have been recorded, including between the last two censuses in 1991 and 2001 by 8.4%. A slightly negative balance of migration is offset by a positive birth balance. By 2003 there was a further increase to 4913 inhabitants.

Population structure

The distribution between the female and male population in the municipality of Matrei is almost even. Compared to Tyrol as a whole , the proportion of the male population is significantly higher, as the proportion of the female population in the federal state is 2.5% higher than the male population.

politics

Municipal office in Matrei

In the 2004 municipal council elections, the ÖVP- related list Together for Matrei under Mayor Andreas Köll received 54.6% of the votes (10 seats). Second place in the elections went to the list for work and business with 17.7% (3 seats), ahead of the Independent Community List Matrei (UGM) with 13.7% (2 seats). The Green and Independent List Matrei (GUM) each won one mandate with 8.7% and the List FPÖ and Independents for Matrei with 5.3%. Compared to the municipal council elections of 1998, the mayor's list increased by around 6%, while the UGM lost half of its share of the vote, while the FPÖ list was only able to gain a third of its share of the vote. All the others were running for the first time. How strongly the ÖVP is anchored in Matrei can be seen from a look at the state elections of 2003, where it achieved 73.99% of the vote.

coat of arms

The municipal coat of arms of Matreis was awarded in 1691 by the Salzburg cathedral provost. A martyr is shown on a yellow background with a sword in his left hand and his severed head in his right. However, Alban of England (recognizable by his Roman soldiers' clothing) and not Alban of Mainz is incorrectly shown on the municipal coat of arms . Alban von Mainz is the actual namesake of the parish church.

Due to the efforts of the community, the coat of arms now shows an additional head on Alban's torso so that it is no longer mocked as "headless".

tourism

Tourism became an important economic factor in Matrei, especially after the Second World War. In contrast to many other parts of East Tyrol, the municipality has a significant proportion of winter nights thanks to the Goldried ski area, which was opened up in the early 1980s . In 1998, investments were made in a new monocable gondola. The most important mainstay, however, is summer tourism, which was steered in a gentle direction with the establishment of the Hohe Tauern National Park . In addition to hiking (over 150 three-thousand-meter peaks), Matrei is also popular with fly fishermen (Isel, Tauernbach), ice climbers (Tauern and Iseltal) and cyclists (Iseltal cycle path). Matrei also has an outdoor pool , a riding and tennis hall, a mini golf course and a regional climbing center with a climbing hall. Currently, around 260,000 to 300,000 overnight stays are counted per year.

Industry, trade and commerce

Within the market area of ​​Matrei there are numerous craft and trading companies, four banks and an industrial company with more than 200 employees. The grocery trade, on the other hand, has shifted from the center to the outskirts due to the parking lot situation. Further companies have settled in the cadastral community of Matrei-Land, particularly in the Seblas commercial and industrial area. These include a metal goods factory (Tschojer Stahl), a heating system manufacturer as well as transport companies, cable car builders, a carpentry and other businesses. There are other small and medium-sized businesses in the localities, fractions and hamlets.

Agriculture

After the Second World War, Matreis agriculture underwent profound changes. Between 1961 and 1977 the proportion of the rural population fell from 40.1% to 19.8%. The cultivation of grain was practically given up. While pig, poultry and goat farming has been declining continuously since the early 19th century, cattle farming has increased, in particular due to growing farm sizes. Sheep breeding, on the other hand, experienced ups and downs, which, after a sharp decline in the middle of the 20th century, recorded growth again. In 1995 there were still 66 full-time farms, 75 part-time farms and 165 part-time farms in Matrei, the most important form of farming being cattle breeding and alpine farming playing an important role in the northern municipality. The size of the farms today averages 10 to 15 large cattle.

education

Matrei school center
