Erl (Tyrol) - Erl (Tirol)

Erl is a passion play venue and holiday village in Austrian Lower Inn Valley / North Tyrol.

background

"Erl" has its origins in a Roman estate called "Pradium Aurelianum", as evidenced by a stone for at least the third century. This mithrass stone is kept in the parish church, making Erl one of the oldest parishes in the Inn valley.

Erl was first mentioned in a document in 788. The border village is repeatedly the scene of acts of war. In the 18th century, during the Tyrolean struggle for freedom with the Bavarians, the village was burned down several times.

Passion play

Passion plays in Tyrol in general and those in Erl are attributed to vows in difficult times of war and plague, the border village of Erl has repeatedly been the scene of acts of war.

The Passion Play in Erl is definitely documented with its oldest play text, an Easter play by the master singer Sebastian Wild from Augsburg, for the year 1613, making Erl one of the oldest Passion Play venues in Europe.

Today's Passion Play House dates back to 1959 and has 1500 seats.

The games in Erl take place every five to six years, the last time in 2013, in 2019.
