The cadastre in South Tyrol / Alto Adige : history and practical examples
Lun, Johann Martin
The history of the cadastre in South Tyrol/Alto Adige is very closely connected to the history of Europe. In 1852, when the cadastre started, South Tyrol/Alto Adige and the Trentino were part of the Austrian Danube monarchy. At the same time in the kingdom of Italy 25 different cadastres existed. In 1871 a commission was introduced in order to unify these cadastres. With the fundamental law n. 3682, dated 1st of March 1886, a unified parcel-cadastre was officially introduced in Italy. In 1919, after the First World War, South Tyrol/Alto Adige and the Trentino were annexed to the kingdom of Italy, which decided to maintain the former Austrian cadastre in the new territories. Today, with the introduction of the software Pregeo and Docfa and the network of fiducial points the Cadastre in Italy is unique. The directory of the Cadastre today is task of the Autonomous Province Bolzano-Bozen, South Tyrol-Alto Adige. Plans of division can be presented in Italian, German or bilingual. South Tyrol with his three ethnical groups, at the connection-line between two cultures, the Italian and the German, has an autonomy, which can be seen as a model in Europe.
