history
Frastanz is on a Roman road . The Habsburgs ruled the places in Vorarlberg alternately from Tyrol and Upper Austria ( Freiburg im Breisgau ).
Frastafeders Castle was probably built around 1258 in the wake of the first Montfort line division as an outpost of the Counts of Werdenberg against Feldkirch. In addition, she probably had the task of securing the path over the Sarojajoch.
It is not known which family of Werdenberg servants sat on Frastafeders in the 13th century. In 1317, Count Rudolf II von Werdenberg-Sargans lent the castle to the imperial knight Ulrich Thumb von Neuburg.
Frastafeders Castle did not even exist for a hundred years. It was destroyed as early as 1344 as part of a dispute between the Counts of Montfort-Feldkirch.
The Battle of Frastanz took place on Frastanzer Boden in 1499 , one of the bloodiest and most important decisive battles of the Swabian War. From 1805 to 1814 the place belonged to Bavaria, then again to Austria.
Frastanz was under the rule of Sonnenberg for a long time . In earlier times Frastanz and Nenzing formed a kind of double community. Until the 18th century, both communities were a tax unit as small gnos under the Bruges . Ecclesiastically, the Nenzing districts of Motten, Mariex and Mittelberg have belonged to Frastanz since 1785.
On June 15, 1910, the Ill broke through the dams in three places and transformed the Frastanzer Ried into a single lake.
For Austrian province of Vorarlberg Frastanz heard since its founding in 1861. The place was 1945-1955 part of the French zone of occupation in Austria .
Population development
For 2003, the proportion of foreigners was 17.8 percent.
The decline in the number of inhabitants from 2001 to 2011 is due to a negative migration balance .
Culture and sights
- Catholic parish church Frastanz hl. Sulpitius: The church was built in 1885 according to the plan of the Cologne and Vienna cathedral builder Friedrich von Schmidt and, together with the parish church in Silbertal by the same architect, is one of the most beautiful neo-Gothic examples in Western Austria. The architect succeeded in reconciling the structural qualities of the Gothic with the Alpine topography. One could speak of a scenic beauty of these buildings that contains something of the spirit of the pictures of the Danube School . In both cases, the elevated location reinforces the gestural symbolism of the Gothic .
- Several listed chapels belong to the parish (examples): Chapel St. Wendelin Frastanz , Chapel Amerlügen , Chapel Maria Ebene , Chapel Klöslefeld .
- Letzehof Buddhist Monastery: The Letzehof Buddhist Monastery (Tashi Rabten), the first Buddhist monastery in Austria , has been located directly on the municipal border with Feldkirch in Maria Grün (Frastanz) . In the succession of the Tibetan master Geshe Rabten, it belongs to the greatest tradition of Tibetan Buddhism . Ordained from Asia and Europe receive their training here, as well as in the other places belonging to the Rabten Foundation, such as the Mother Temple (Rabten Choeling) on Lake Geneva. The management of the monastery is incumbent on the Austrian monk, Gelong Dschampa Lungtog. The Letzehof is often visited by teachers, school classes and other interested groups to get authentic information on the subject of Buddhism .

coat of arms
The municipal coat of arms was created in 1968 based on a design by the Schruns artist and heraldist Konrad Honold .
The coat of arms was awarded by the Vorarlberg state government on May 2, 1969. It shows "In blue above a golden sun, below a silver horn turned to the left with black fittings and black cord". The symbol of the horn is reminiscent of a legend that is said to have taken place on the occasion of the bloody battle of Frastanz in 1499: A shepherd boy on Amerlügen is said to have noticed a detour and unexpectedly approaching detachment of the Confederates and to warn his compatriots with his horn until he fell dead to the ground. The sun in blue shows that it belongs to the county of Sonnenberg .
