Tyrol /Tirol/ - History, Culture, Photos: Herz-Jesu-Bund in Tirol

The sacred heart has been an integral and important part of popular religion in Tyrol since the Counter Reformation. When Napoleon first marched toward Tyrol in June of 1796. In 1767, in Rome, the Sacred Heart image was painted for the Innsbruck Jesuit church replicating the original of Pompeo Girolamo Battoni.
Famous Herz-Jesu-Bild in Innsbrucker Jesuitenkirche. Even Andreas Hofer, the greatest Tiroler hero has knelt here.

Tyroleans gathered in the parish church in Bolzano vowed that if God granted them the victory, they would show their gratitude with have an annual religious procession. They attributed winning the Battle of Spinges in 1797 to the protection of the sacred heart. At the end of the 19th century, adoration of the sacred heart took on new importance as Catholicism waged an ideological war against the threat of liberal and nationalistic thinking. Now-traditional fires on the mountainside in honor of the sacred heart were introduced, competing with similar ancient rites that celebrated the summer solstice.

History of Tyrol

The earliest evidence of human settlement in the area of the Tyrol dates back to the late Neolithic period, and man is known to have lived here ever since. In early history, the Tyrol was a gateway between north and south and a link between two cultural areas - a role that has very much shaped the history of the Tyrol and is still relevant today. The Via Claudia Augusta built by the Romans to connect southern Germany with northern Italy passed through the Tyrol.
In the 13th century, Count Meinhard II of Gorizia combined the titles to the lands to the south and north of the Brenner to create the County of the Tyrol. In 1363 Margarethe Maultasch passed on the County of the Tyrol to the Habsburg Dukes Rudolf, Albrecht and Leopold of Austria. That made the Tyrol one of the Austrian Hereditary Lands.
In the Late Middle Ages, a free peasantry was the norm in the Tyrol rather than serfdom.
In 1511 Emperor Maximilian I issued a national defence proclamation called the "Landlibell", which largely remained in force until 1918. Under this law the Tyroleans were granted the privilege of only having to do military service within the borders and in defence of the Tyrol.
Until the late 18th century, the Habsburgs respected the law and constitution that had developed in the County of the Tyrol. Only later did the Tyrol have to accept the role of a crown territory ruled from Vienna. In 1805 the Tyrol was ceded to the Bavarians, who suspended the constitution, increased taxes, made various ecclesiastical changes and introduced conscription. In 1809 the Tyroleans rose up against the Bavarians under Andreas Hofer. Three times they liberated the Tyrol, but after six months they had to bow to the sheer numbers of the Bavarian forces. As the leader of the revolt, Andreas Hofer is still an object of veneration for many Tyroleans today. After the First World War, the old Tyrolean territories south of the Brenner passed to Italy.
