history

Burghof residence, first mentioned in 1242 as "castrum Chemenaten"

The place name Kematen probably goes back to the Latin "Caminata", which means "heated room". First documented the place is around 1143 as "Kemenatin" in the records of the counts of Dießen-Andechs justified pin Dießen called. Also the Wilten was wealthy in Kematen.

According to a joking interpretation, the place name Kematen is said to come from a saying by Maximilian I when he got up in the nearby Martinswand and was hoping for rescue: if they really lei kematen (= would come).

In Kematen, with the exception of the cellar vault of the old Widum, no building is older than 300 years, since in 1703 the Bavarians who were expelled from Innsbruck plundered and pillaged the area around Kematen and Zirl in the course of the War of the Spanish Succession (see also Bavarian Hype ).

During the Nazi era , up to 2,000 forced laborers were employed in Kematen, mostly for Messerschmitt GmbH under SA and Nazi member Walter Waizer, who was convicted of high treason in 1947 .
