history

The oldest evidence of a settlement date back to 1222. The name Salpach in a land register of 1350 as the designation of a Meier court mentioned for the first time. The village of Saalbach emerged around this and became the economic center of the municipality.

Even before 1410 there was a church in the village.

In 1489 Archbishop Johannes Beckenschlager granted the town market rights .

Nevertheless, Saalbach remained a largely agricultural and poor community until the 20th century. It was not until after the First World War , but especially after 1945, that tourism , especially in winter, brought about a sustained economic upswing.

In 1987 the name of the municipality was changed from Saalbach to Saalbach-Hinterglemm.

From January 22nd to February 3rd 1991, Saalbach-Hinterglemm hosted the Alpine Ski World Championships. For this purpose, a bypass tunnel was built for Saalbach and Hinterglemm.

Population development


The economic development can also be read from the development of the population. While the population rose only relatively slightly from 935 to 1018 from the census of 1869 to 1900, the next ten years saw an increase of 6.2%, which was followed by a decrease of −6.2% by 1923. Thereafter, the population increased again by 8.7% until 1934, stagnated until 1939 and has grown continuously since then (with increases of more than 25% in the 1950s and 1960s). Also between the penultimate census in 1991 and the last one in 2001 there was another increase of 8.6%. This is due to the positive birth balance (+300), which offset the negative migration balance (−60).

Religions

Saalbach-Hinterglemm is the seat of a Roman Catholic parish . 86.1% of the population belong to the Roman Catholic Church , 5.5% to the Orthodox Church , 2.6% to the Evangelical Church and 1.0% to Islam . Other faith communities each achieve less than 1%. 3.3% have no religious beliefs.
