First mention
The first mention of Schlanders as the center of a parish district dates back to 1170, when its then head, the priest Thebald, donated a winery in Vezzan to the Marienberg monastery for an anniversary.
Schlanders is one of the older parishes in South Tyrol. Iso Müller believes that the Schlanders parish was founded in the 7th/8th century. Century, the time in which the large rural parishes were expanded in the diocese of Chur. Schlanders can therefore be described as the “original parish”.
In the High Middle Ages, the so-called rural chapters or deaneries developed from the clergy of the old baptismal churches and their daughter churches, although the beginnings are not known in more detail. A vicar, also known as an archpriest, was in charge. Despite the central location of this pastoral care, the priests working in Silandro were never appointed archpriests until the 19th century. The reason is that the parish had been incorporated into the Teutonic Order since 1235, with whom the Chur shepherds often did not have a trouble-free relationship.
The parish of Schlanders becomes part of the diocese of Brixen
On September 17, 1808, the Vinschgau was incorporated into the diocese of Brixen by papal decision. In 1812, the parish of Schlanders was elevated to the status of a deanery and, in a way that had never been the case since its creation, formed a center in ecclesiastical terms. On October 12, 1818, like the entire middle and lower Vinschgau, it came to the diocese of Trento, and since 1964 it has been part of the diocese of Bozen-Brixen.
At the time the Schlanders parish was founded, the scope was larger than in the late Middle Ages and modern times, as it also included the pastoral care of Lasa and Martell.
After the unfortunate outcome of the fight for freedom in 1809, the northern part, including Schlanders, became part of Bavaria. This also gave the patronage rights of the Schlanders parish to the Bavarian government. In 1811 they occupied the Coming and sold their property except for the building itself and the church. The reinstatement of the Teutonic Order after Tyrol's return to Austria in 1814 was no longer possible and Silandro had to remain a secular church.
