est of the empire. At this time two branches of local industry wich had existend since the Middle Ages, lost their significance-the grain trade and the salt trade. The population’s outward expansion became more and more evident in the second half of the 19th century. Industrialisation and a building boom led to a rapid increase of the number of the town’s inhabitants. In this period the industrialists’ villas were built along the Bahnhofstraße. The events of 1910 were decisive for the further development of Feldkirch. In this year the town suffered catastrophic flooding from the river Ill, which necessitated substantial urban alterations: embankments were built along the Ill, the Kapfschlucht was enlarged and the municipal sewage system was regulated. These measures brought the town such prestige that the surrounding communities were incorporated with Feldkirch in 1925, giving the town an area of 34.34 km . The 1950s and 1960s saw a great deal of residential construction, and in the 1970s the town acquired its distinctive road network with the Hirschgraben road and Walgaustraße in the Felsenau gorge. 14
Buddhist Monastery „Letzehof“ In 1982 the Tibetan spiritual teacher Geshe Rabten Rinpotsche founded a Buddhist monastery on the former estate of the factory-owner Getzner family. The monastery is managed by Buddhist monks from Tibet, Mongolia and Europe and can be visited at any time. The prayer and meditation room as well as a peace stupa in the grounds of the monastery are open to all. There are regular public seminars and evening talks on meditation. Guided tours are also offered. The Letzehof can also be reached on foot from the town via Liechtensteiner Straße and Duxgasse.
