SOS CHILDREN’S VILLAGE
Hermann Gmeiner contributed to a big part of Imst’s past 50 years ago. With a handful of visionary
men and women, he laid the foundation for a global idea in “Sonnberg”, a section of Imst: in 1949
the 1st SOS Children’s village in the world was founded. More than 400 SOS Children’s Villages in
132 countries are leading the brilliant relief organization, true to the original motto, “small steps,
great hope”, into the new millennium. Today, millions of people support the children’s villages,
aided by politicians and businesses and even the oldest rock band in the world, The Rolling
Stones, bowed down and gave its first concert in the Tyrolean mountains in celebration of its 50th
anniversary. Yet what’s more important is that children are given a chance!

IMST – A TOWN OF FOUNTAINS
There are more than 40 of them in all, of which 18 historical examples have been lovingly
restored
If the region has something almost in profusion, then it’s water. There are plenty of springs in the
surrounding mountains, and far-sighted local planning has enabled man to make use of the water
they contain as a source of energy or for the supply of drinking water. The springs, of course, have
been here since time immemorial. Although they now serve as embellishments enhancing the
appearance of the towns and villages, they once had an important economic and social function.
