history

Oberkurzheim was first mentioned in a document in 1140. The settlements in Mosing, Thaling, Götzendorf, Mauterndorf, Katzling, Winden and Unterzeiring emerged later. In the 12th century, the princely toll station was created in the middle of the valley in the village of Katzling.

The high court in the Birkachwald near Unterzeiring and the gallows were mentioned in a document in 1574. The Liechtensteiners had the seat of the district judge in Unterzeiring. The remains of the gallows can still be admired today as a tourist attraction in Katzling. Today the "Katzlinger Wirt" is located in the former courthouse.

The political community Oberkurzheim was established in 1849/50.

traffic

The Triebener Straße B 114 runs through the Pölstal in the municipality from southeast to northwest . Coming from Pöls, it leads through Thaling, Mauterndorf and Katzling. Unterzeiring has been bypassed south by the B 114 since 2001. In Katzling, Götzendorferstrasse L 533 branches off to the east of the B 114 and leads to the left of the Pöls river through Götzendorf, past Thaling, Moosing, Oberkurzheim and Pöls to Rattenbergerstrasse L 503. Between Thaling and Gusterheim, it formed the former municipal boundary to Pöls. Neither Oberkurzheim nor the other communities upstream in the Pölstal have a connection to the railway network. The closest passenger station is in Thalheim .
