    August 2002

    Along the way across the Brenner pass towards Bozen/Bolzano you find many lovely old villages and valleys. We decided to have a 30 mins break off the motorway in Klausen. Its name, German: Klausen, Italian: Chiusa, obviously has to do with „closing“ (Latin: claudere = to close, Middle German: kluse = Sperre) originating from the town's particular position within the narrow valley on this important long-existing north-south link and its role as a customs post.

    First time mentioned in 1027, the town had lain at the border between the areas of Brixen/Bressano and Trient/Trento for many centuries. From 1350 to 1550 an ore mine had been operated nearby. Around 1900 the town tried to make a name as an artists' place with above all organizing events in honour of Walther von der Vogelweide.
