history

The Lammertal is mentioned for the first time in a deed of donation from 1124 by Salzburg Archbishop Konrad I to the Archbishopric of St. Peter . In the course of the expulsion of the Salzburg Protestants in 1732, around 250 residents of Annaberg and Lungötz had to leave their homes. "Annaberg im Lammertal" was founded on June 4, 1849 as a political municipality.

With the founding of the Kaindl chipboard factory, the Lungötz district developed into its own locality, and in 1964 its own church was inaugurated in Lungötz.

On December 3, 1991, the municipality name was changed from Annaberg im Lammertal to Annaberg-Lungötz by resolution of the Salzburg state government .
