history

From the 15th century, iron ore was mined in Finsinggrund and the Öxltal. Around 1500 a smelting works was built in Kleinboden and Kleinboden became a center for iron production that used the water power of the Finsingbach. In 1596 there was an ironworks , a hammer mill and two blast furnaces that produced pig iron and crude steel, but also salt pans for the Hall brewhouse, iron tools for the Schwaz silver mining and harness plates and cannon balls for the Innsbruck armory . The latter were also secretly delivered to Bavaria. The Zillertal iron was of significantly poorer quality than that from the Styrian Erzberg , but it caused lower transport costs. The fuel for the blast furnaces was charcoal , which was initially obtained from the wood of the surrounding forests. Later, wood from the inner Zillertal and the Gerlostal was drifted onto the Ziller and burned into charcoal in Hart on the opposite side of the valley. Around 1620 there were plans to relocate part of the steelworks to Kiefersfelden in Bayen, which was realized 200 years later. In 1669, 440 people were employed in the ironworks.

The decline began towards the end of the 17th century; in 1700 only one blast furnace was still in operation. In 1832 the iron smelter was converted into a hammer mill to process the fluent iron coming from the Jenbach blast furnace . In 1856 the company was nationalized and operated until around 1870, in 1878 it came into private ownership, and in 1904 part of the hammer mill was converted into an electricity company.

A settlement was only created after the ironworks had been built; the first house not belonging to the ironworks is mentioned in 1558. The village initially belonged to Kapfing , which was independent until 1811 and only became a separate fraction of Fügen in the 19th century.
