history
Urn graves found in Kapfing in 1982 prove an early settlement during the Bronze Age . Finsing was mentioned in a document as early as 927 as “Funzina” , while Fügen itself was only named “Fugnæ” around 1140/49 . Fügen belonged to the diocese of Brixen ecclesiastically , but under constitutional law to the archbishopric of Salzburg until 1803 . For some time, Fügen was the “thing” of the Salzburg court of Zell.
The great hardship of the Thirty Years' War led to the uprising of the Fügen peasants on May 19, 1645 against their sovereign prince, the Salzburg archbishop, to whom they were liable to pay interest. All the Zillertal farmers who were subordinate to the Archbishop of Salzburg joined this uprising.
In 1678 a separate judge was appointed for the Salzburg court of Fügen, which in 1849 was designated as the district court . In 1923 the judicial district of Fügen was assigned to the Zell am Ziller district court.
Fügen has been important as the industrial center of the valley since the 15th century; cannon balls, armor plates and iron sheets were produced here. In 1697, Count Fieger's Fügen iron company built an ironworks in Kiefersfelden ( Bavaria ). The operations had to be closed at the end of the 19th century due to competition.
