history

Already in Roman times there was an important road crossing in the Inntal over the Ziller in the area of Bruck, which formed the border between the Roman provinces of Raetia in the west and Noricum in the east. Bruck was first mentioned in a document in 1188 as “villa Prvkke” , which can be traced back to the construction of permanent bridges over the Ziller. The hamlet of Imming is mentioned as "Himinga" as early as 976 and indicates a Bavarian settlement.

Politically, Bruck did not belong to the rule of the bishops of Salzburg , but to the Bavarian and, since 1504, to the Tyrolean court (administrative district) of Rattenberg . Only in 1811 did Bruck become an independent municipality.

In the 16th and 17th centuries, copper and silver were mined on the Reitherkogel. The Reformation church movements, including the radical Anabaptists , were well received by the population at the beginning of the 16th century, but were viewed as dangerous by the authorities. Between 1528 and 1539, 71 Anabaptists who refused to renounce their faith were executed in Rattenberg , including numerous residents of Bruck.

During the Tyrolean uprising in 1809, Bruck was also a scene of this failed liberation struggle.
