Old Town of Imst
Highlight • Settlement
The oldest traces of settlement in the area around Imst date back to the Bronze Age.
In 763, Imst was first mentioned in a document as “in opido Humiste” - part of the founding equipment of the monastery church of St. Peter built in Scharnitz by the Diocese of Freising. The name is said to go back to an early form of the Latin humidus (moist), which was combined with the word formation morpheme -iste. The name can be translated as wet field, damp ground. The genesis of the toponym: 1120 as “Uemeste”, 1143 as “Umiste”, 1278 as “Umeste”, 1296 as “Ümst”. In the late Middle Ages the name Imst finally prevailed.
In 1266, Meinhard II of Tyrol acquired the area from Bavarian ownership and granted Imst market rights in 1282. In 1822 there was a major fire disaster. In 1898 Imst received city rights.
Imst played a role during the National Socialist era when the city was the first Tyrolean municipality to make Adolf Hitler an honorary citizen in 1933, which was only revised in the 1990s. Even more recently, a street named after the “greatest Nazi poet in Tyrol”, Jakob Kopp, and the failure to rename it caused a stir and discussion.
Confronted with the misery of war orphans and homeless children after the Second World War, Hermann Gmeiner founded the SOS Children's Villages association in 1949. With friends he built the world's first children's village in Imst, which opened on April 15, 1951 after two years of construction.

I was awake shortly after five and was wondering in bed whether I was really going to get up and ride to the pass.
Well, Melina and Marcel had locked the bike in the shed last night. So I could leave it in the extra room in the hotel. …
