How to reach the Catarina Lanz Monument
Catarina Lanz, a young woman from Marebbe who was born in 1771 in San Vigilio di Marebbe, was honored in the fight against Napoleon’s French troops. In 1797, at the age of 26, she fought heroically with a pitchfork at the side of an Inntal shooter against a division of the Napoleonic army in Spinges near Mühlbach, a small village near Brixen, to save the little church and the adjacent cemetery from desecration. She became a symbolic figure of the Tyrolean fight for freedom in the French Wars.
