history
Steinhaus is a relatively younger settlement in the Ahrntal valley, which was initially assigned to the Pimwerchen (neighborhoods) St. Johann out of the valley or St. Jakob in the valley and was part of the former Taufers regional court and, from 1849, the Taufers judicial district . The place appears for the first time in 1491 under the name "im Stainhaus" , as part of the Taufers office, in a document from Mr. Fuchs von Fuchsberg .

Today's community was established in 1929 as an administrative measure of Italian fascism , which amalgamated the small communities of Luttach , St. Johann, St. Jakob, St. Peter and Prettau to form the municipality of Ahrntal, based in Steinhaus. The Italian place name - a literal translation of the toponym - is a new creation from Ettore Tolomei's Prontuario dei nomi locali dell'Alto Adige and was introduced by the fascist government in 1923.
