history
Word derivation
Stuben was first mentioned in 1330 as a post office, "the emperor's highest room". According to tradition, the name Stuben comes from the term “warming room” - Stuben was the last place to rest and stop at the Arlberg pass and in the long winters the last warming room for travelers, mule-haulers and carters .
development
At the Reichstag in Ulm in 1218, Hugo I von Montfort assigned the area around Stuben to the Johannitern in Klösterle in order to build and operate accommodations there for travelers over the Arlberg Pass . These rooms are said to have been built in the area of today's chapel in front of today's location on a slight hill.
From around the 14th century, during the rule of the Werdenbergers , traffic and goods transport over the Arlberg Pass became significantly stronger and the routes were improved and expanded. Essential cargo was from the Salzkammergut and Hall in Tirol Dating salt and from the Thurgau native linen (Constance linen - Diocese of Constance ). For Stuben, the higher traffic volume meant an economic upswing (see also Brotherhood St. Christoph and the establishment of the Hospiz St. Christoph am Arlberg by Heinrich Findelkind in 1386).
In 1542 , Markus Sittikus von Hohenems, the governor of Sonnenberg and Bludenz, issued an order letter. This describes the procedures for maintaining the path, in particular breaking snow in deep snow. Stuben was raised to a parish in 1666 .
By shifting traffic flows, e.g. For example, on the Fernpass , the economic earning opportunities in Stuben in connection with the activity as a mule and trucker declined over the decades and only the construction of the Arlbergpass road brought a new upswing. In 1760, under the government of Maria Theresa, the route over the Arlberg Pass was improved and repaired and under the government of Joseph II it was partially redesigned (1782 to 1784, the new road was opened on December 27, 1785, and the Arlberg pass road was also opened) Called Josephinische Strasse ). The rapid development of the Vorarlberg and Eastern Switzerland textile industry and postal traffic also brought a brief economic upswing for Stuben, which however quickly flattened out again due to the brisk construction of railways throughout Europe, because it made transport over the Arlberg Pass more expensive. With the opening of the Arlbergbahn from Langen to St. Anton in 1884, the Stuben post office became even quieter.
It was not until winter sports at the beginning of the 20th century and motorized individual traffic after the Second World War that the town was revived. The construction of the Arlberg expressway and the Arlberg road tunnel brought traffic-related calming down, the economic disadvantages of which, however, were offset by the increasing tourism.

Connection railway between Stuben am Arlberg and Zürs
For the 2016/17 season, the aerial tramway at Trittkopf was replaced by two modern single-cable gondolas. At the same time, a connection between the previously separate ski areas of Ski Arlberg East and West was established . Two valley stations were built, one in Zürs , near the practice slope, and one in Alpe Rauz , near the Valfagehrbahn. From these two valley stations you can now reach the Ochsenboden middle station at around 2200 m above sea level. A. , which lies roughly in the middle between these two valley stations. Another cable car (Trittkopfbahn II), which is coupled with Trittkopfbahn I from Zürs, leads from the middle station to the mountain station at around 2400 m above sea level. A. During the new construction of the Trittkopfbahn, a new Albonabahn II was built from the valley station in Alpe Rauz, which is to replace the existing Albonabahn II above Stuben. This project also included the new construction of the practice slope in Zürs, which was completed in the previous year. The fixed 2-seater chairlift was dismantled and replaced by a detachable, child-safe 6-seater chairlift.
Infrastructure
The inns for accommodating travelers have dominated the appearance of parlors for centuries. A post crash course on the Arlberg had already been set up for military purposes at short notice under Maximilian I. Regular postal courses were only set up after the Napoleonic Wars and an important post office was set up in Stuben.
On the Alpe Rauz, a new building yard was set up for winter maintenance on the Arlbergpassstrasse and later on the Flexenstrasse.
Stuben belongs to the deanery of the Roman Catholic diocese of Feldkirch Bludenz-Sonnenberg (see: List of parishes in the deanery Bludenz-Sonnenberg ). The Gothic parish church of Stuben am Arlberg was consecrated in 1507. Anton Jehly (1900) painted the frescoes in the baroque nave .
There has been evidence of a classroom in Stuben since 1680 and a school building was added to the church in the middle of the 18th century.
Transport, road connection
The connection via Stuben, the Alpe Rauz, Arlbergpass to St. Anton am Arlberg has been more and less frequented over the past millennia, depending on the political and economic situation ( Altstrasse , although a slightly better road is said to have existed in the 14th century).
The federal road B 197 (since 2002 state road B 197 ) Langen am Arlberg - St. Anton am Arlberg is now led past Stuben (bypass). The Arlbergstrasse (B 197) from Stuben is only temporarily closed in winter when there is a risk of avalanches.
Flexenstraße with the Flexengalerie (Lechtalstraße between Alpe Rauz and Zürs) is clearly visible from Stuben. The route of the road above Stuben is currently being changed and partially rebuilt. The stretch of road from the last bend (Posteck) is left open. In future, the alternative route will lead from the last bend in five new bends in a north-easterly direction to the Flexengalerie .

Hunts are organized in the Alps around Stuben, but with a low density of game (mainly chamois and ibex).
Agriculture and alpine farming
Agriculture and alpine farming, which used to be very important, are now of secondary importance.
