Innviertel
Innviertel

The Innviertel (literally German for "Inn Quarter"; officially called the Innkreis; Bavarian: Innviadl) is a traditional Austrian region southeast of the Inn river. It forms the western part of the state of Upper Austria and borders the German state of Bavaria. The Innviertel is one of the four traditional "quarters" of Upper Austria, the others being Hausruckviertel, Mühlviertel, and Traunviertel. The Innviertel is the northwestern quarter of Upper Austria and includes the districts Braunau am Inn, Ried im Innkreis and Schärding. Since the formation of the political districts in 1868, the quarters in Upper Austria no longer have a legal basis and are purely regional names. The older Habsburg districts (Kreise), which were still based on the old quarters, were superseded. Unlike the rest of Upper Austria, most of the area was part of Duchy and, later, Electorate of Bavaria until the 1779 Treaty of Teschen. It is a fertile, densely populated, flat to hilly landscape that is part of the Alpine foothills and lies between the rivers Salzach, Inn, Danube and the Hausruck hills. The Innviertel covers an area of around 2250 km² and its population is just under 218,000. The largest city in the Innviertel in terms of area and inhabitants is Braunau am Inn with 17,438 inhabitants, followed by Ried im Innkreis (12,209). The town of Schärding with 5,216 inhabitants is well-known as a tourist centre because of its baroque town centre.

Learning and memorial site Charlotte Taitl House

The Learning and memorial site Charlotte Taitl House (German: Lern- und Gedenkort Charlotte-Taitl-Haus) in Ried im Innkreis, Austria is dedicated to the victims of National Socialism and fascism in the district of Ried im Innkreis. It is an extension of the historical exhibition of the Innviertler Volkskundehaus museum. The initiative for this project came from the ARGE Lern- und Gedenkort. The building blocks formed the publication "Nationalsozialismus im Bezirk Ried im Innkreis. Resistance and Persecution 1938-1945" by Gottfried Gansinger, which was supplemented by research from ARGE members. In May 2015, the house of Roßmarkt No. 29 was solemnly named "Charlotte Taitl House". In May 2017 the ceremonial opening of the learning and memorial place took place.Charlotte Taitl (born May 15, 1896 in Thomasroith/Ottnang - died October 16, 1944 Auschwitz) is one of 196 known victims of National Socialism and fascism in the district of Ried. The goal was to give back their names to the victims and therefore save them from oblivion. The data and life stories of 26 victims are told on biography steles in the surrounding area. In an infobox at the end of the room, all information about National Socialism and the district of Ried in the time before and after is displayed. Further in-depth information can be accessed via a touch screen, and there is also a workstation with PC and Internet access for research work. The Charlotte Taitl House, a place of learning and remembrance, is an inclusive exhibition with equal access to information for all. Oral history interviews, historical audio documents, sign language, and QR-code accessible easy-to-read texts are used to implement new technologies for information retrieval. The Charlotte Taitl House, a place of learning and remembrance, is adjacent to the Stadtbücherei (municipal library), through which the exhibition can be accessed free of charge during its opening hours. In the area of the passage, black metal panels with the birth and death dates of the victims guide the visitors to the entrance. The space itself opens up through remembrance and is designed as a "white cube" to offer space for remembering, commemoration, reflection, .....
