history

The area around Jochberg has been inhabited since ancient times. On the Kelchalpe near Aurach there was already around 1245 BC Chr. , A mining center. More than 40 prehistoric smelting works were found, the majority of them in the municipality of Jochberg, others in the municipality of Aurach. On the basis of archaeological finds and radiocarbon data, the melting plants are dated to the 14th / 13th centuries. Century BC (Transition from the middle to the late Bronze Age) to at least the time of the advanced urn field culture (around 1,000 BC). How long the prehistoric copper production lasted in this area is not yet clear.

Jochberg is a clearing settlement. The settlers came from the Rott am Inn monastery , who first had to make the land arable . The first written mention of the place as "Lohberg / Johberg" took place under Heinrich IV. In 1073, although the record is a diplomatic falsification of the late 12th or early century. Jochberg has been the interface between Salzburg and Bavaria since 1275 .

From the 14th century the village belonged to the Kitzbühel court . A century later, the district was immediately expanded and became a quarter . Around 1500 the character of Jochberg changed and mining was resumed. Metals like silver and copper were mined. The ore was smelted in the hamlet "Hütten". Mining was in operation in this region until 1926 and the hut until 1874.

Jochberg has been a separate village since 1762 and appears among the ten villages of the Kitzbühel Regional Court . In 1835 a road was built .

Population development

Culture and sights

  • Parish church Jochberg : The baroque church, built by Kassian Singer between 1750 and 1752 , was painted in a colorful way by Simon Benedikt Faistenberger . For almost 300 years, the Wolfgang Fountain, which rises below the church, was the destination of pilgrims who sought and found healing. In a so-called “Miracle Book” from 1505, 99 cases have been handed down in writing. It is not clear why this pilgrimage to the Wolfgang spring slowly dried up. The Association of Friends of the Wolfgang Spring was founded on the initiative of Pastor Andreas Jakober. The Wolfgang water from a deep borehole can now be touched in the Gothic Wolfgang chapel in the parish church.
