history

The former train station in Hinterberg

Traces of human settlement go back to the Hallstatt period . In the Steinleiten belonging to Hinterberg , stone box graves from the first millennium BC were found in the 1950s.

The area of ​​today's Hinterberg was mainly used for agriculture until the beginning of the 20th century. Industrial development began in 1911 with the commissioning of the Hinterberg pulp factory, which existed until the second half of the 20th century. Since the founding of the printed circuit board factory AT & S in 1987, Leoben-Hinterberg has been the seat and parent company of this company.

From 1965 to 1967 the Church of the Holy Guardian Angels was built . In 1968 Hinterberg became its own parish, before that the district belonged to the Waasen parish. For several years the parish has belonged to the city church of Leoben together with Waasen, Göss and Donawitz. Pastor Markus Plöbst and Pastor Martin Waltersdorfer are the pastors of the parish association.

The settlement was expanded in the 1970s with the construction of the Steinleiten housing estate.
