Dobbiaco

Dobbiaco is an Italian municipality with nearly 3,500 inhabitants in the autonomous province of Bolzano in Trentino-South Tyrol; it is one of the "municipalities of the Tre Cime", together with the municipalities of Auronzo di Cadore, Sesto, and San Candido.

Also known as the “gateway to the Dolomites”, it lies at 1,256 m above sea level in the Puster Valley, the so-called “green valley”, protected to the south by the rock faces of the Dolomites (Cima Nove, Monte Serla), while on the other side the mountain range of the Western Tauern (Cornetto di Confine, Corno di Fana) and the Karni Alps, which together form the Dobbiaco Pass.

The place name is mentioned in 827 in a document of the episcopal church of Freising, as in vico Duplago, later Germanized to Douplach (993) and subsequently to Toblach (1020). The name could be of pre-Roman origin and its etymology is not known with certainty, since on the one hand a derivation from the stem *tob- (“gorge”) is ruled out, and on the other hand it is stated that the suffix (-acu, -ago, in German -ach) could be of pre-Germanic origin.

One theory suggests that the name “Dobbiaco” derives from Duplagum, meaning “two waters”, since both the two lakes (Lake Dobbiaco and Lake Landro) and the sources of two important rivers (the Drava and the Rienza) are located in the vicinity of the village; the second part of the place name in German can be traced back to Bach, which means stream in Italian.

Until the end of the First World War, the Italian military authorities referred to the village by the name Toblacco, although the place name Dobbiaco had already been in use for quite some time. Previously, it was also known as Doblaco en Tobiano.

Dobbiaco is een Italiaanse gemeente met bijna 3.500 inwoners in de autonome provincie Bolzano in Trentino-Zuid-Tirol; het is een van de „gemeenten van de Tre Cime“, samen met de gemeenten Auronzo di Cadore, Sesto en San Candido.

Ook wel de “poort naar de Dolomieten” genoemd, ligt het op 1.256 m boven zeeniveau, in het Pustertal, de zogenaamde “groene vallei”, in het zuiden beschermd door de rotswanden van de Dolomieten (Cima Nove, Monte Serla), terwijl aan de andere kant de keten van de Westelijke Tauern (Cornetto di Confine, Corno di Fana) en de Karni-Alpen, die samen de Dobbiaco-pas vormen.

De plaatsnaam wordt in 827 vermeld in een document van de bisschoppelijke kerk van Freising, als in vico Duplago, later verduitst tot Douplach (993) en vervolgens tot Toblach (1020). De naam zou van voor-Romeinse oorsprong kunnen zijn en de etymologie ervan is niet met zekerheid bekend, aangezien enerzijds een afleiding van de stam *tob- (“kloof”) wordt uitgesloten, en anderzijds wordt gesteld dat het achtervoegsel (-acu, -ago, in het Duits -ach) van pre-Duitse afkomst zou kunnen zijn.

Een theorie stelt dat de naam “Dobbiaco” afkomstig is van Duplagum, oftewel “twee wateren”, aangezien zich in de omgeving van het dorp zowel de twee meren (het meer van Dobbiaco en het meer van Landro) als de bronnen van twee belangrijke rivieren (de Drava en de Rienza) bevinden; het tweede deel van de plaatsnaam in het Duits kan namelijk worden herleid tot Bach, wat in het Italiaans beek betekent.

Tot het einde van de Eerste Wereldoorlog verwezen de Italiaanse militaire autoriteiten naar het dorp met de naam Toblacco, hoewel de plaatsnaam Dobbiaco al geruime tijd in gebruik was. Voorheen stond het ook bekend als Doblaco en Tobiano.
