history

From time immemorial, Flachau belonged to the Hofmark Wagrain , the Radstadt nursing court and the Altenmarkt parish . Originally, Flachau was scattered by rural settlements, and the present-day villages of Flachau and Feuersang were responsible for supplying the Flachau ironworks as the Flachau colliery - in the 15th century, 56 farms were handed down here, around a dozen of them in the area of ​​today's town, and roughly the same many in Flachauwinkl . This was also the seat of the prince-archbishop's administrator concerning Flachau mining matters of the Radstadt care court (the former administrator's house ). In 1719, at the long request of the colliery, the Flachau church was built under Archbishop Franz Anton von Harrach and in 1722 a vicariate of the Altenmarkt parish was set up - before that, the Flachau people had to go to mass in Altenmarkt. The Feuersang remained directly subordinate to the "preservation of Altenmarkt", whereby the independence of the place Flachau developed, which subsequently developed as a typical church village . Originally it was formed only from the village of Hinterroth with a few farmsteads and the two Kaswurmlehen (Vorderes, Hinteres) from Lützlmoos (today's village of Feuersang).

In 1731 the place had to accept large population losses when Protestantism, which was widespread among the miners, was banned and the supporters were evacuated from the archbishopric ( Salzburg exiles ). It would 1 / 3 have migrated the population.

In 1858 Flachau was raised to a parish. In 1866 the kk Berg- und Hüttenbetriebe Flachau was liquidated, which led to another emigration. In the 1880s, attempts were made to establish itself as a health resort with iron slag baths.

After 1950, summer tourism developed slowly (today in the context of the Salzburger Sportwelt ), and at the end of the 1960s, winter tourism, when the Flachau mountain railways were built (today snow space Flachau, the Ski amadé ). In the 1970s, the construction of the Tauern motorway (opening of the Tauern tunnel in 1975) made the place easily accessible. In the 1980s, the three valleys ski area Flachau – Wagrain – Sankt Johann , one of the first ski associations in Austria, was created with the neighboring towns . Today, the Ski amadé is one of the most extensive ski areas in the Alps. The women's night slalom in the Ski World Cup has been held here for several years, and in 2007 the Alpine Ski Junior World Championship was held .

2006–2010, the Tauern tunnel was expanded with a second tube, which largely ended the summer holiday backlog, the columns of which were partially backed up to the village.
