history
Arrach was first mentioned in a document in 1383. Since the 13th century, the Rott monastery was wealthy in this area. From 1580 to 1592 the Arracher area was repopulated. The Rott monastery exercised the manorial rule here until the 17th century .
For centuries, agriculture, forestry and handicrafts formed the basis of life for the population. The municipality of Arrach is made up of the municipalities of Arrach and Haibühl, which were independent until the municipal reform and merged on May 1, 1978. The town hall of the community is located in Haibühl.
New residential and commercial areas have been created since the municipal reform. Tourism developed into an important economic factor.

In 1999 the leisure facility "Seepark" was inaugurated at the Weißen Regen.
