Hall in Tirol, Administrative district in Tyrol, Austria
Hall in Tirol is a town in Tyrol that spreads across the Inn Valley at an elevation of about 574 meters and includes residential areas, commercial zones, and public facilities. The municipality features a mint museum that displays historical coining machines from 1486.
The town received its charter in 1303 and grew into an important market center thanks to its strategic position in the valley and local salt production. These favorable conditions made it an economic hub that connected with other regions through established trade routes.
The town preserves medieval buildings such as churches and monasteries that shape its character and speak to a long religious tradition. Visitors can discover these structures while walking through the old town and observe how architecture from different periods blends into the streetscape.
The town uses postal code 6060 and connects to neighboring areas through the Inn Valley Autobahn and the Unterinntalbahn railway. These transport links allow easy travel to surrounding valleys and larger cities nearby.
The town produced the Guldengroschen in 1486, Europe's first large silver coin, and invented the world's first automated coining machine to make it. This innovation transformed how coins were made and put the place at the heart of European minting technology.
