Story

After 1000 AD The area was settled by Tyroleans from Villgraten and the Pustertal. Sappada was first mentioned in documents around 1270. Originally founded as a mining settlement (iron production on Monte Ferro, smelting in the neighboring town of Forni Avoltri), Sappada developed from the individual hamlets mentioned above into a farming community.

Language and customs

Sappada is one of several German-speaking islands of the Cimbri. The very well-preserved dialect, which belongs to the Cimbrian group, is now used as everyday language by around 70% of Sappada's inhabitants and reveals its East Tyrolean origins, so that it differs significantly from the Cimbrian of the other language islands (see below). There has recently been a “Plodner dictionary” with more than 500 pages.

Sappada is now a popular tourist destination in summer and winter. This has led to the immigration of Italian workers. In the younger generation, the “Ploderische” was temporarily in decline. Recently, however, the dialect has been particularly promoted primarily by the church and also by various cultural associations. The Veneto region and the province of Belluno also promote the old tradition to a limited extent - partly with support from the EU.

Sappada is one of the Zimber towns (along with Lusern and the Fersental) that are particularly proud of their own tradition and language and are committed to presenting them regionally and nationally.

Particularly interesting is the annual traditional carnival with the central figure “The rollate Lotter” and the folk dance group “Holzhockar”. The construction of the houses, which shows their East Tyrolean origins, also differs significantly from the Italian surrounding area.

In order to consolidate the special Cimbrian traditions, Sappada maintains close contacts with the other Cimbrian language islands in the provinces of Trent (Luserne and Fersental), Verona (Thirteen Municipalities), Vicenza (Seven Municipalities) and Udine (Tischlwang/ital. Timau and Oberzahre/ital. Sauris di Sopra).
