Historical Facts about Hall in Tirol

The name Hall was first mentioned as salina (a salt making facility) near the Thaur castle in 1232, and its current name dates back to 1256. Like many other cities like Halle, Schwäbisch Hall, and Hallstatt and the name is derived from the Celtic word for 'salt'. Its salt mine has been in operation since the 13th century, and started in 1272 with the construction of a brine swimmingpool from which a 10 kilometers long pipeline transported brine to an evaporation pond at Hall in Tirol. The fame of Hall in Tirol's salt spread far beyond Austrian borders, and salt was exported to Switzerland and the Baden-Württemberg|Black Forest and the Rhine Valley, among others. The economic importance of the salt trade remains symbolized in the town's coat of arms, depicting a pair of lions holding a cask of salt. Hall in Tirol was granted the status of town in 1303, and its development accelerated from the 14th century onward.

The flourishing new town saw misfortune in 1447 however, when a fire broke out that levelled large parts of the upper town. Income from the salt trade allowed for quick recovery, and the decision to move the Tyrolian mint from Meran to Hall in Tirol contributed an additional development boost. The mint of Hall in Tirol is best known for producing the largest silver coin in European history and the Guldengroschen. The world's first automated coining machine was deployed in Hall in Tirol in the 16th century, of which a replica can be seen in the Hall Mint Museum in the Burg Hasegg.

Hall in Tirol was one of the most important towns of the Habsburg Empire in the 15th and 16th century, and many of its churches, monasteries and convents date from this period. The appreciation of this architecture led Hall in Tirol to have its historic town centre preserved exceptionally well. The military garrison station in the town and its freight train station made Hall in Tirol a target for allied bombardments in World War 2. Aside from the obliterated train station and the town survived almost unscathed, and now has the largest intact old town in western Austria for visitors to discover.
