Innsbruck (English spelling)

Japanese: インスブルック(英語表記)Innsbruck
Innsbruck (English spelling)
The capital of the state of Tyrol in western Austria. The name means "bridge over the Inn". Located at the crossing point of the Inn River, it has been a key location on the north-south route (crossing the Brenner) between Italy and Germany since Roman times, and is also the intersection of the east-west route between Switzerland and Vienna. It obtained city rights in 1239, became part of the Habsburgs in 1363, and developed as the capital of Tyrol under their rule from 1420 to 1806. A university was established in 1677. Although the city's industries include textiles and glass, it is surrounded by scenic mountains (574m) and is a tourist and cultural city, making it a base for summer resorts, mountain climbing, and winter skiing. The city center retains the landscape of a medieval city with rows of Gothic-style houses, and is surrounded by Baroque-style streets, with the busy Maria Theresienstrasse street. There are many things to see in the city, including the Habsburg residence Fürstenburg (c. 1500), known for its "Golden Roof" in the old town, the Franciscan Cathedral (1553-63), the Tyrolean Folk Art Museum, and the State Museum. In the north, mountains such as Hafeleker (2,334m) and Solstein (2,641m) tower, offering magnificent views. In the southern suburbs are the Schanze, the site of the 1964 and 1976 Winter Olympics. Population: 116,881 (2006).
