history

Shortly before 800 AD, Breitenbach was mentioned as a refectory parish for the monks' cell in Kufstein, and the parish church of St. Petrus is one of the oldest churches in the Tyrolean lowlands. Breitenbach, along with Angath and Langkampfen, is one of the three original parishes of Freising on Tyrolean soil.

According to records , Breitenbach ( "Praytenpach" ) appears relatively late, for the first time in 1157 as a panel parish of the canon of St. Andrä in Freising. The original boundaries of the original parish and mother parish in Breitenbach included the areas of the parishes Brandenberg , Steinberg , Mariatal, Voldöpp and Mosen ( Kramsach ), all of which were only finally removed from this association in 1891.

From 739 to 1818 the Inn formed the border between the area of ​​the Archdiocese of Salzburg on the right bank and that of Freising on the left bank of the river from the mouth of the Habach (between Münster and Kramsach) to Kufstein . The secular division of territories went hand in hand with the ecclesiastical division and for over 900 years, from the Bavarian conquest to 1504, Breitenbach shared the fortunes of the Duchy of Bavaria .

coat of arms

Parish Church of St. Peter

With a resolution of the Tyrolean provincial government of July 23, 1963, the municipality of Breitenbach was given today's municipal coat of arms.
Blazon (coat of arms description):

“In the black field a silver cross river with an alternating colored, silver-black fish rising to the right. The silver cross-river points to the stream running through the village, which was decisive for the name of the municipality and has always been important for it due to its abundance of fish. "

economy

Breitenbach was originally a purely farming village that was largely self-sufficient. What was needed and not available in the vicinity was delivered to the Inn by ship. The fact that there was also a Schopperstätte (repair workshop for Inn ships) in Breitenbach is proven by the name "Schopper" innkeeper.

In the years around 1860, the railway that was built on the south side of the Inn caused enormous economic development, from which Breitenbach was initially excluded due to the lack of a bridge. If you wanted to get from Breitenbach to Kundl on the other side of the Inn, there was only one "overpass" (ferry). In 1894 the town council negotiated the construction of a bridge and it was opened in 1896.

education

There used to be three elementary schools in the community , today only two, of which one is closed, and a new middle school .
