history

Between 1564 and 1583 a border treaty was negotiated here between the Archdiocese of Salzburg and Upper Austria and a corresponding boundary stone was erected in 1567. The guard house at the pass was given as a farmer's fief in the archbishop's court arbor . The owner was obliged to keep the barrier bar locked and to keep transport lists for wine, cattle and lard. In the case of military needs, he had to leave the house for a fee.

Border stone in Russbach

In 1731 the old house was demolished and rebuilt on better ground. In 1777 the crew was reinforced because smuggling had become rampant. In 1791 the entrance and exit were blocked with two gates attached to columns. Because of its poor condition, the road could only be used for salt transports in winter. However, the farmers of Russbach always went to the Protestant Gosau to worship on Sundays .

With the secularization , the pass building passed into private ownership.
