history
The name Huben is probably derived from Hube , a farm that provides for a family. In 1317, Schwaighöfe were mentioned in Huben .
Due to its location on the valley floor, Huben was often affected by natural disasters, especially floods from the Ötztaler Ache. The Ache kept digging a new bed. It used to run on the western edge of the valley and Huben was, unlike today, on the right bank. When the Rofener Eisseee erupted on July 16, 1678, almost all the houses and the church in Huben were destroyed. Two houses, a chapel and the church tower were destroyed in a flood in 1868. In 1877, Huben was buried again and again in a rock fall , whereupon the government in Vienna considered moving the residents to Hungary, which was not realized due to their resistance.
The Church of St. Martin was rebuilt after the destruction in 1679 and enlarged due to the increased population in 1805/06. In 1891 Huben was raised to an independent parish.
