history

Nothing is known about the time of the first settlement of the place. It is believed that mining was carried out before Roman times . The first documentary mention goes back to 1156 as "Pramau".

Fieberbrunn once belonged to the Hofmark Pillersee of the Benedictine monastery Rott am Inn , which had considerable possessions in Tyrol.

The town experienced its heyday in the 16th century, when mining was intensified on Gebra (2057 meters) and in the Rettenwand meadows above today's Lauchsee . The iron extracted was processed into the then world-famous Pillersee steel until 1908, which had an iron fineness of more than 35% and was smelted in the hamlet of Rosenegg .

In 1641 five pits and eleven new pits are mentioned in the local area. The Rosenberg von Rosenegg family from Augsburg, who had settled in Fieberbrunn, represented a pivotal point in mining and metallurgy. They had the residences Altroseneck and Neuroseneck (today Neu-Rosenegg) built.

In September 1937 the housewife Katharina Neuner fell victim to a robbery near Fieberbrunn, in which the perpetrator merely stole a backpack full of cranberries. The perpetrator, who came from St. Johann in Tirol , was arrested soon afterwards, sentenced to death and executed on February 9, 1938 in the Innsbruck Regional Court.

After mining and metallurgy came to an end in 1908, industry was relocated to Fieberbrunn again after the Second World War .

Origin of name

According to the legend, the Tyrolean Princess suffered Margarete Maultasch of fever and was healed when she drank the water of the sulfur spring at the well below the current church. Since that time this fountain has been called "Fieberbrunnen" and is the namesake of the place that was previously called Pramau.

In 1632, according to legend , Claudia von Medici was also cured by drinking the spring water.
