history

Excavations have documented the important Roman road from Aquilea to Augusta Vindelicorum (Augsburg) via Iuvavum (Salzburg), the Roman road Virunum - Iuvavum , it ran through the Fritztal via Hüttau ( Roman milestones ) and over the valley shoulder on the side of the Tennengebirge to the Mansio (post station) Vocario , probably today's village throwing . This course corresponds roughly to today's Roman road from Dorfwerfen to Pöham / Alpfahrt

Peham was actually also a place name on the valley shoulder. The name is not an actual -ham -name (old 'home'), but means Böhme ( Böhmen ancient Behaim, Pöheim ). Originally this area was called Gasteig ('steep path'), an Alhaidem de Gastaig in the Vritz is documented around 1250. This is where the Behaim family found themselves at Gut Vordergastag in the 16th and 17th centuries . The location of Peham is still recorded there in the Franciscan cadastre of the 1830s, but the old Gasteig farmsteads have fallen victim to the construction of the motorway. The Fritzlehen also belongs to Pöham as a Urhof (1299 near Werfen dacz Fritzelin , today Pöham 7). In the early 18th century only the Raindl (abandoned), Brandstadt (house Winkl 1), Pfeiflehen (Pöham 9, today's town center), Gschwandt (Winkl 2) and Fritzmühle (Alpfahrt 2) properties were in the valley . There was the Fritztalstrasse, long a Reichstrasse, an important traffic route since pre-Roman times. Around 1870 was awarded the Dichtlwirt a first vehicle inn furnished.

Originally the whole area with Winkl, Alpfahrt and Kreuzberg belonged to the parish Werfen , only with the creation of the local parishes in 1848/49 did the areas south of the Fritzbach come to Bischofshofen.

The Selzthal – Bischofshofen line, today's Ennstalbahn (also called Giselabahn at the time ), was opened on August 6, 1875, and the Pöham stop set up here was named. The development of the town began gradually. During the Alpine floods in September 1899 , the site was badly devastated, and the railways and roads could only be put back into operation the following year. In 1902 an elementary school was opened, and in 1912 a fire brigade was set up by the volunteer fire department. In 1928 the Brandstätt chapel, built around 1746 at the Pfeiflehengut, was demolished and a new church built in honor of the Assumption of Mary . As a branch church, it is still subordinate to Pfarrwerfen, is entrusted by the Steyler Mission House St. Rupert and has its own parish council.
