A journey through time

Inzella

One place. Many centuries. And so much life in the here and now.

959

First, a forest.

A charter describes forest and hunting land between Teisenberg and Staufen. An early trace of the area, not yet evidence of the name Inzella.

1177

A name that stays.

On 20 September 1177, the estate and forest of Inzella were given to St. Zeno. The municipality regards this charter as its founding document.

1195

A place comes together.

In 1195, Inzell became an independent parish and Hofmark. Its name is associated with an “inner cell”. Read more under “Project, images & sources”.

1585

Within the mountains.

Lead and calamine provided livelihoods. In 1585, mining on the Staufen was also the subject of a border dispute.

17th century

Paths of white gold.

The salt road connected Inzell with Reichenhall and Munich. A brine pipeline changed transport in the early 17th century.

1724–1727

What remains. What begins.

Fire damaged St. Michael in 1724. Its tower survived; the present church was built between 1725 and 1727.

Today

The same view. New life.

Here & now

Celebrating life.
