History & character
From Village Settlement to Innsbruck Gem
Hötting, a district of Innsbruck, has a long history that dates back to the Neolithic period. Archaeological finds attest to the early settlement of the area, which is characterized by its favorable location at the foot of the Nordkette. The first documented mention as "villa Hetiningen" dates between 1122 and 1135. Hötting rapidly developed into an important place, shaped by mining and foundries from the 15th to the 18th century. Agriculture, particularly viticulture, also played a role. In the 19th century, Hötting became a popular residential area, supported by the establishment of institutions such as the observatory and the botanical garden. In 1938, Hötting was incorporated into Innsbruck, significantly expanding the city's territory. Today, Hötting is a quiet district that impresses with its proximity to nature and numerous attractions such as the old and new parish churches and the Büchsenhausen Castle. The combination of historical substance and modern residential charm makes Hötting an attractive place to live.

Real building heights (OpenStreetMap footprints with heights from the BEV laser scan), sun hours and shadows from sun position and geometry. How much of it reaches you also depends on orientation and windows. Terrain is included, from the official elevation model out to 12 km: a mountain to the south takes the winter sun just as the house opposite does. Where the sun only grazes a ridge, the figure remains an approximation. In the Inn valley the winter sun reaches only 19 degrees at midday, while the mountains and slopes to the south rise 10 to 23 degrees above the city. Measured for 21 December on a third floor, the terrain costs a good two hours in Hötting, almost three in the city centre, a little over three at Sieglanger and almost four in the middle of Amras. At the foot of the slope below Schloss Ambras it takes all of the direct sun: the slope stays above it all day, only just at midday.
