history

The mountain settlements of the Zillertal, including Fügenberg, go back to agricultural colonization in the Middle Ages, when the valley floor was no longer sufficient for cultivation. Fügenberg was first mentioned in a document as Fügerberg in 1315. When, after the Napoleonic Wars in 1816, the Tyrolean municipal constitution came into force in the whole of Zillertal, Fügenberg and Pankrazberg were merged to form today's municipality of Fügenberg.

Since the Middle Ages, mineral resources have been sought in the municipality for several centuries, including gold and iron ore. The iron ore deposits in the Zillertal had become important due to the increased iron requirements of the large silver and copper mines in Schwaz and Kitzbühel .

Between 1562 and 1760 there were nine tunnels on the southeast flank of the Grätzenkopf and Samjoch ridge in the Öxltal as well as on the Schwaz side. After being crushed in leather sacks weighing 60 to 80 kg, they were transported to the ironworks in Kleinboden by pack horses and carts . The empty sacks were carried up again by large dogs. The annual production of iron ore was between 200 and 5000 tons, up to 500 men were employed in smelting and mining. The miners built several chapels and were significantly involved in the construction of the Pankrazkirche.

Culture and sights

Attractions

The Pankrazkirche, built between 1494 and 1497 in the Gothic style, is worth seeing . In September 1999, the show tunnel in the Öxltal was opened to visitors at an altitude of 1783 m.

Sports

The Fügen-Fügenberg region offers two ski areas: the Spieljoch and Hochfügen. In addition to its importance as a winter sports center, Hochfügen is also the starting point for many mountain hikes, for example to the 2506 m high Gilfert or the 2762 m high Rastkogel .

The area between Schwaz, Jenbach, Fügen and Hochfügen has the densest network of official mountain bike routes in Tyrol. In May 2005, a trail between Gamsstein and the Gartalm-Niederleger was released for the first time.

Fügenberg is a scattered settlement that a few decades ago was almost exclusively populated by farmers. With the upturn in winter tourism, the situation has changed, farms have declined or are largely run as part-time jobs.
