The health resort Meran (Italian Merano, Ladin Maran) is in the west South Tyrol and was the capital of all of Tyrol in the Middle Ages. In the almost Mediterranean climate at the foot of the Alps, wine and even palm trees thrive. The old town boasts a well-preserved mixture of the Middle Ages and "Belle Époque".
background
Merano is only around 300 meters above sea level with a south-facing orientation in a climatically and strategically favorable location in a basin at the northern end of the wide Etsch Valley, into which the Passeier Valley (with the Passer River) flows from the northeast and the Vinschgau valley from the west.
Meran is the second largest city in the Italian province of South Tyrol, Districts are the old town, Gratsch, Obermais (villa district), Untermais (near Merano since 1924), Labers and Sinich (a village in the Adige Valley).
Little chronicle
The Adige Valley is settled very early. Prehistoric finds such as menhirs and shell stones are dated to around 2000 BC. dated. One of the most important Alpine crossings in antiquity leads through the Adige Valley, which was occupied by the Romans around 15 BC. The name of the Roman customs station "Castrum Maiense", named after the Roman spring goddess Maias, lives on in the names of Untermais and Obermais for two parts of Merano.
After the end of the Roman Empire, Ostrogoths, Franks, Lombards and, finally, the Bavarians came to the economically important region in the early Middle Ages.
A fortified settlement "Mairania" was mentioned for the first time in the year 857, the town elevation took place in the 13th century. At that time, Merano was initially under the influence of the bailiffs and bishops of Bressanone and Trento.
Margarethe von Tyrol (also Margaretha Maultasch) is the last countess of Tyrol. She was born in 1318 as the daughter of Adelheid von Braunschweig and the Tyrolean Count and Carinthian Duke Heinrich.
At the age of twelve she was married to the Bohemian king's son Johann Heinrich, who was three years her junior. Your "wife" is considered infantile. The forced marriage is already unhappy in childhood and the marriage is supposedly never consummated. In 1342 Margarethe expelled her husband from the state of Tyrol and married the Margrave Ludwig of Brandenburg, a son of Emperor Ludwig of Bavaria, without an official divorce. The marriage, which was welcomed in Tyrol itself, is ostensibly a marriage scandal, while a struggle of various European dynasties for influence over the strategically important region of Tyrol begins: Pope Benedict XII. imposes the ban on the princely couple. Emperor Karl IV, the brother of the outcast Johann Heinrich, invades Tyrol and besieges Tyrol Castle without being able to take it. He then burns down Merano and Bozen as an alternative.
After the death of her husband and only son Meinhard III, Margarethe formally handed over the government of the County of Tyrol to the Habsburgs who were friends with her in 1363, but exercised it herself for a while. She spends the evening of her life in Vienna, where she dies in 1369 at the age of 51. The Vienna district Margareten is named after her.
The nickname she was given during her lifetime Maultasch is to be understood here as a "whore": Many details about Margarethe's way of life have not survived. Modern science today interprets the epithet more as a propaganda of its political opponents. The same applies to her second nickname, the "ugly duchess", which found its way into literature under Lion Feuchtwanger in 1923.Starting from Schloss Tirol nearby Dorf Tirol is created from the 12th century onwards Rulership of Tyrol. As early as the second half of the 13th century, the Counts of Tyrol administered an area that combined the rights of domination south and north of the Brenner Pass. The rule of Tyrol is called county recognized in the German Reich. The administration of the county is carried out jointly with cross-class structures by the nobility and estates, cities and rural court communities and is consequently an identity-forming element for the common self-image of its residents as Tyrolean.
Natural resources in the mountains and the transit trade make Tyrol a rich country. The trading city of Merano became the capital in 1310 and received numerous privileges from the Tyrolean counts, including the right to mint coins. The city becomes wealthy and experiences its first great heyday. The prosperity of the city and region also arouses the desires of the neighbors.
In 1363, Countess Margarete von Tirol (see box), the firstborn of the two daughters of Duke Heinrich VI. of Carinthia and the last Count of Tyrol (around 1270-1335), after political turbulence the state of Tyrol formally passed on to the Habsburgs who were friends with her, but initially continued to exercise the official duties. In the year 1420 the royal court of Tyrol finally took over innsbruck relocated, the mint follows in 1477 Hall in Tirol.
Meran remained the official capital of Tyrol until 1848, but was politically and economically insignificant for several centuries. The most important cities are now Innsbruck and Bolzano as an axis on the trade route over the Brenner Pass. It was not until the 19th century with the beginning of the spa business and then the summer and winter tourism of the modern era that Merano fell asleep.
After the First World War, Merano and South Tyrol became part of Italy. Thanks to a clever policy of the city administration under Mayor Dr. In contrast to the new state capital Bozen, Max Markart (1922-1935) escapes the assimilation policy of the fascist regime under Mussolini and can see its cityscape from the time of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Get monarchy.
Spa town
Meran is Spa town: Dr. In 1836 Johann Huber recommended the noble Princess Mathilde von Schwarzenberg (daughter of the then Austrian Prime Minister) Felix zu Schwarzenberg) A spa stay in Merano: Whey and drinking cures were already common in the place at that time and the many sunny days in the year were not detrimental to the general well-being or to a cure. Therefore, visitors are initially predominantly lung patients.
The real breakthrough for the spa business was the repeated stay of the Austrian Empress Sisiwho, among other things, wintered twice with her entire court in the mild climate of Merano between 1870 and 1872. It was followed by the entire European nobility and also by the upper class for spa stays or simply to stay in the city. The development was significantly supported by the opening of the Brennerbahn in 1867 and the railway connection for Merano in 1881. In the heyday of the late 19th century, an extensive tourist infrastructure of luxury hotels, cultural buildings such as ball, theater and concert halls, summer and Winter promenade, sports facilities and numerous villas for the well-heeled guests. However, the First World War and its end with the following political upheavals in the region, South Tyrol became Italian, brought an abrupt end to the glamorous spa business. The focus of the visitors at that time came from the countries of the former Italian opponents of the war, Germany and Austria, and consequently did not take place.
At that time Meran was mainly a climatic health resort, today the Meran spa water, which was first examined between 1933 and 1936, is made from so-called "acid" rocks in the area (a total of over 700 springs, of which approx. 100 are slightly radioactive) in the new thermal baths and The newly created parks are used for various therapeutic purposes.

nightlife
In terms of "nightlife", Merano had a reputation for being a quiet city for a long time. With the increasing mass tourism in summer and ski tourism in winter, something has happened in the previously rather modest nightlife in Merano with the opening of some new bars. The center of the action is undoubtedly Freiheitsstrasse at the level of the Kurhaus, there are several bars lined up next to each other and at the latest since the introduction of the smoking ban, life has definitely shifted to the outside areas of the bars (summer and winter).
Along with the development of the bar scene, there are corresponding complaints of "neglect" by the residents concerned. The city administration is reacting with a new ordinance for the city center: since July 2010, keeping open glass containers or glasses or consuming beverages from glass containers has been prohibited in certain streets between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. Consideration of the bar visitors to the troubled residents is therefore the order of the day.
accommodation
Merano and thus also the accommodation directly in the health resort, is certainly one of the most noble corners of South Tyrol, with a corresponding price level. However, if you want to spend the night in a more budget-friendly way, you can easily switch to the better-priced and well-connected area around Merano.
