Area of the district is 2,019.87 km2, with a population of 50,404 (May 15, 2001), and population density of 25 persons per km2. Administrative center of the district is Lienz. In 1919, Trentino-Alto Adige/Südtirol was split from what is now the Austrian state of Tyrol in the Treaty of Saint-Germain (these two entities made up the old Austro-Hungarian county of Tyrol). Since this time, East Tyrol is parted from North Tyrol by about 5 km of border between the federal state Salzburg and province of Bolzano-Bozen. Accordingly, it forms an inner-Austrian exclave of the federal state Tyrol. It was also the only part of modern Tyrol not occupied by France after World War II, instead forming part of the British zone. |
