History, infrastructure and sights

Roman town of Vocario

Milestone with "V" for Vocario in the coat of arms of Pfarrwerfen

The place is already occupied in Roman times (after 15 AD), and was probably called Vocario (after Tabula Peutingeriana , 12th century), and was a mansio (post office) and probably bridge location of the important Roman road from Aquilea to Augusta Vindelicorum ( Augsburg) via Iuvavum (Salzburg), the Roman road Virunum - Iuvavum . Excavations have covered the Römerweg, it ran on the right side of the Salzach Valley towards Fritztal , in about today's road Römerstraße to Pöham / Alpfahrt (the further continuation is demonstrated by the Roman milestones from Hüttau ). As the road continues today, he then had to change the valley side towards Pass Lueg .

Parish village of Werfen

The parish church

As early as 710, the Irish missionary and bishop Rupert von Salzburg founded the Cella Maximiliana , which later became the Augustinian monastery of Pongau , near today's Bischofshofen . A separate parish was established here in the High Middle Ages, and in 1074 parishes and the Church of St. Cyriak are documented ( sancti ciriaci in parrochia in the letter of donation from Bishop Gebhard to the Benedictine monastery of Admont, which he founded ). Werfen Castle (Hohenwerfen) was built on the other bank of the Salzach around 1075 . The name Werfen (oldest documented evidence around 1140 Perhtoldus prefectus de Werven ) probably comes from the Middle High  German werve , vortex, strudel, and describes the narrow point of the Salzach. In 1215 the Pongau estate came to the Bishops of Chiemsee , who were founded as an own diocese of Salzburg, and so over the years it received the name Bischofshofen. This made Pfarrwerfen the mother parish of the Pongau. At the foot of the castle a market town (around 1200, documented in 1242), today's Werfen market, was created . The Werfen care court was also located at the castle (later in the village) , where the nurses and landlords resided , making this place the secular center, while the parish village remained the spiritual center: Werfen was only elevated to a parish in 1855, and Bischofshofen developed as a railway town only around 1900. That is why the parish was called Pfarrwerfen or the village of Werfen . Around 1350 it is mentioned with 15 houses. This property, whose settlement area on the Salzach was limited, also included the dairy above (today's Maier ), the farming village of Werfen (today's village ), as well as the Talung Weng ( Wang , 'open area', today's Werfenweng ) . From this arose - after the secularization of the archbishopric - with the creation of the tax communities in the 1830s and the formation of local communities in 1848/50, the three Werfen communities with their several villages "Werfen". In the 19th century, Dorfwerfen was only a small town with about 40 houses, a dozen around the parish, the others north and south on the road.

The listed ensemble of parsonage and parish church with its well-fortified medieval character are still recognizable as the core of the village and shape the townscape. Otherwise the mills of the surrounding farmsteads ( Gemachmühlen ) were important here, several of the old mill houses have been preserved on the Mühlbachl , and form an open-air museum (Sieben-Mühlen-Weg) and a natural monument.

Pfarrwerfen stop

In the 1870s the Kaiserin-Elisabeth-Bahn (Salzburg-Tiroler-Bahn) , also known as the Westbahn , was built on the Salzach . Today the S3 line of the Salzburg S-Bahn stops here every half hour, which is part of the Salzburg Transport Association  (SVV). Travel time to Bischofshofen station is 4 minutes, to Schwarzach-St.Veit station around 20 minutes, to Salzburg Hbf. Around 1 hour.

Junction Pfarrwerfen

In the 1970s, the Tauern motorway was built parallel to the railway . The traffic avalanche on the guest worker route rolled along the other side of the Salzach in summer. In 1977 the line through the Lueg Pass to Werfen was opened, and the line from Pfarrwerfen through the Fritztal to Eben was opened on June 30, 1979, with only one lane free up to the Pongau junction , the other was opened on October 25 of that year.

For reasons of space, the junction Pfarrwerfen (Exit 45) is only a half-connection (to and from Villach), the other motorway direction is connected to Schlaming (Exit 44 Werfen ). The Werfenwenger road  (L229) is doing the slip road from the Salzachtal road  (B159) in Grießl represents.
