Thaur is a municipality in the district of Innsbruck-Land and is located 5 km east of Innsbruck between Rum, Austria and Hall in Tirol. As a matter of fact that Thaur is not far away from the capital it is a popular area of settlement nowadays but the old village core is still intact.

Settlement of the area probably began around 1000 BC but the location was mentioned as “Taurane” for the first time in 827. Thaur is very religious even nowadays and has 3668 inhabitants.
