history

Landslide of December 14, 2012: Remains in summer 2013

The place name is explained by the extensive estates that the Benedictine Abbey Sonnenburg owned and administered here since the 12th century.

Until the end of the First World War, the abbey belonged to the judicial district of Enneberg and was part of the district of Bruneck .

On December 14, 2012, a landslide of around two hectares between St. Kassian and St. Leonhard destroyed three houses.
