history

Here the mule track ran over the Triebener Tauern , which was already important in pre-Roman times and was then part of the Roman road Virunum - Ovilava (Zollfeld - Wels). Whether the post station (Mansio) Tartursanis was here or in Hohentauern is unknown due to a lack of archaeological evidence.

It seems possible, however, that a Stadelhof or Zehenthof was founded here in the earliest times of the Baiwar conquest . The Johanneskirche was built around the year 1300, it is mentioned for the first time in 1363. The place was formed as a Kirchweiler , it is probably 1490 as s. Johans was first mentioned in an Admonter land register.

The road was expanded again from the early modern era.

In 1784 (1794) the evangelical community got a tolerance prayer house , today's church of faith . The place was a locality of the Catholic parish of St. Oswald until 1788 , in 1892 it also became a parish.
