The Zwölfmalgreiner Platz (also Zwölfmalgreier Platz , Zollstangenplatz or Zollststange ; Italian Piazza Dogana ) is located east of the old town of the South Tyrolean capital Bolzano , is the center of the old city boundary of Zwölfmalgrei and forms the historical gateway to the old Brennerstraße and the Kuntersweg into the city.
The older, but still in use name, Zollstange, goes back to the fact that the city toll had to be paid here - a barrier , the “rod”, blocked the road. The old customs tavern was later named "zur Löwengrube" and, like the inn "an der Stiegen" (today Hotel Stiegl-Scala), was an expression of the importance of the national route leading across the square. The location is documented as early as 1310 as " Zolstang ". Since the 15th century it has been one of the "twelve Malgrei ", those spacious, rural economic districts that made up the large surrounding municipality of Bolzano and were even constituted as a separate rural municipality in the 19th century . In the district court code of Gries-Bozen from 1487, Michel Esslinger and Andre Vorstner appear in the form of their own district captains "at the Zolstang" , who also function as the sovereign tax collectors .
The last community leader, Dr. Franz von Hepperger, brought about the decision in 1910 to annex all of the Twelve Males to the Bolzano municipal district . On January 6, 1911, the unification of the two communities was publicly celebrated. Since that date, Bozen and Twelve Malgrei have been a common municipality. The central motive for the incorporation was the population growth of both communities and the associated need for apartments and workplaces. In order to cope with the merger in terms of traffic, the new Julius-Perathoner-Strasse (today's Piavestrasse) with the large archway at the Amonn-Haus was laid out in 1910 , which leads in the middle from the Zwölfmalgreiner Platz to the Rathausplatz and on to the Bozen arcades .
