history
From 1920 Afers was a separate municipality in the Province of Venezia Tridentina, which was renamed the Province of Trento in 1923. Afers has belonged to the province of Bolzano since 1927. In 1929 the community of Afers was dissolved, so Afers became a fraction of the community of St. Andrä. Since 1941, both villages have been part of the municipality of Brixen.
In 2016 the new primary school with kindergarten in the village center and the new fire station just outside the village center near Tannheim-Reide were inaugurated.
Afers is the only parliamentary group in Bressanone that has a self-administration.
