Our Lady's Church in Staben
Highlight • Religious Site
The Church of Our Lady in Staves
he origin of this church goes back to the late Romanesque period at the beginning of the 13th century and was dedicated to St. Martyr dedicated to Chrysanth. In old documents from the Steingaden monastery in Upper Bavaria, it is referred to as the Christanzenkirche. Chrysanthus and Daria (feast day Oct. 25) were a Christian couple who lived in Persia in the century. Both were thrown to the lions and died martyrs.
The interesting, small Gothic window in the sacristy in the tower and the entrance portal still bear witness to the reconstruction of the late Gothic period in the 16th century.
After the plague of 1636, the population of Staben enlarged their church out of gratitude because a large number of the residents remained alive. It was provided with round and flat arched windows and newly decorated. In 1638 the church was consecrated anew by Bishop Chur Johannes VI. In a document from 1647 it is now called the Church of Our Lady, as St. Sebastian and Rochus. This is how Staben has become a place of pilgrimage.

Delicate structure with columns, volute pilasters, cranked entablature, richly moved gable and rich rocket. In the central niche a clothed Madonna with the Christ Child.

Vinschgerbahn Train Accident Memorial

THE VINSCHGER RAILWAY TRAIN ACCIDENT – 2010
On Monday, April 12, 2010, a train on the so-called “Latschander”, between Kastelbell and Latsch in the South Tyrolean Vinschgau (northern Italy), was hit by a mudslide of 400 cubic meters and a width of ten to 15 meters.
The train was traveling towards Meran at 9 a.m. when it was surprised by the mudflow, which buried parts of the train. The accident left 9 dead and 28 injured.
The mudslide was caused by water that escaped from a sprinkler system due to a defective valve and soaked the ground above the railway line.
The criminal trial took place without the participation of co-plaintiffs, as the insurance company had already paid out compensation to the injured parties, and ended with an acquittal for all defendants.
The train accident on the Vinschgerbahn was also caused by the use of water for economic purposes.
On the side of the road above the accident site, a memorial stone commemorates the victims.
