Programme notes: In 1809, resistance to Bavarian policy under Count Maximilian von Montgelas erupted in the Tyrolean popular uprising (bar 1 - 30), led by Andreas Hofer, Josef Speckbacher and Father Joachim Haspinger. The popular uprising was also supported by the conservative clergy, but was first incited but then abandoned by the Austrian court in Vienna (bar 31 - 46). The Austrians and Tyroleans suffered the decisive defeat at Wörgl on 13 May. As a result, parts of the country were temporarily annexed to Italy and the Illyrian provinces of France; in 1814, however, the country was reunited and returned to the Habsburg multiethnic state of Austria. The Zillertal, which had been Salzburg since time immemorial, fell with Salzburg to Austria in 1805 and to Bavaria in 1810. In 1814 it became part of Tyrol. However, there were also minor victories by the Tyroleans (bar 47 - 58), such as in the "Giggler Tobl", where the women and children of Paznaun kept the Bavarians out of their valley with stone avalanches and other primitive weapons. In 1919, in the peace treaty of St. Germain (bar 59 - 136), the area south of the Brenner passed to Italy. Italy had claimed the watershed between the Mediterranean and the Black Sea as its northern border, regardless of the German-Italian language border running much further south; the other Allies had agreed to this point, not least in order to bind the politically unstable Italy to itself (London Secret Treaties). Even the division at the watershed (bar 79 - 90) was not adhered to, as three municipalities of the eastern Pustertal: Dobbiaco, San Candido and Sesto, some of whose streams flow into the Drava, became part of Italy. (bar 107 - 124) The seizure of power by the Fascists in Italy, the National Socialists in Germany and the annexation of Austria to the German Reich further deepened the rifts between North and South Tyrol, as Hitler sealed the border at the Brenner Pass with Mussolini and planned a resettlement of the German-speaking South Tyroleans, which, however, was only carried out to a limited extent because of the war. (bar 125 - 136) Even after the Second World War, the division of Tyrol remained and the border demarcation of the Peace Treaty of St. Germain still exists today. Although further attempts after the Second World War to reincorporate at least the part of the territory with a German-speaking population into the Austrian Tyrol (bars 137-147) failed, in 1948 and 1972 (1st and 2nd Statutes of Autonomy bars 148-209) an autonomy for South Tyrol was achieved in return, which has since been significantly expanded (Gruber-De-Gasperi Agreement). The now "autonomous province" has received comprehensive competences and bilingualism or trilingualism is officially anchored in law. In the course of European integration, the various parts of the historical region of Tyrol, but especially the Austrian province of the same name and the autonomous province of South Tyrol, also managed to regain a certain sense of belonging together (bar 210 - 222). As a result of the Schengen Agreement, almost all border control posts between the countries disappeared, and the introduction of the common currency, the euro, also brought the region closer together economically. In 1998, moreover, the European Region Tyrol-South Tyrol-Trentino was founded, in which the governors of the Federal Province of Tyrol, the Autonomous Province of South Tyrol and the Province of Trentino preside over an all-Tyrolean regional parliament at regular intervals. Since then, the work of the European Region has strengthened the common cultural identity of the region and promoted economic and political cooperation within it.
