History & character
From Animal Garden to Residential Area in Innsbruck
In the 16th century, Archduke Ferdinand II. established an animal garden with a pleasure house in the area of the Inn, serving as a hunting ground for the courtly society. The Tiergartenstraße recalls this era. Until the 19th century, Höttinger Au was predominantly agricultural. The construction of the university bridge in 1930/31 initiated a dense development that changed the character of the area. In 1938, Hötting was incorporated, making the Au part of Innsbruck. After World War II, there was a significant increase in housing construction, including the Gießensiedlung and Heilig-Jahr-Siedlung. Today, Höttinger Au is an urban residential area characterized by its proximity to the university and its natural setting by the Inn.

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.
