history

The meaning of the pre-Roman place name is unclear. However, settlement of the area around Uderns is certain as early as the Bronze Age . Between 500 and 600 Bavarians immigrated from the Inn valley and mingled with the local Rhaeto-Romanic population.

Finsing was first documented in 927 as “Funzina” and Uderns in 933 as “Udarnes” , each in ownership transfers to the Archbishopric of Salzburg . In contrast to most of the other communities in the valley, Uderns has always been part of Tyrol. In 1483 Uderns appears for the first time as an independent municipality.

From the 16th to the 19th century, iron ore mining in Finsinggrund and the blast furnaces and iron hammer mill in Kleinboden played a major role in the economic life of Uderns. The Finsingbach supplied energy for several commercial enterprises, the charcoal for the blast furnaces came mainly from the "Kohlstatt" in the municipality of Hart in the Zillertal on the opposite side of the valley. The wood was obtained from the surrounding area and the entire rear of the Zillertal. Until after the First World War, wood was lifted from the Finsinggrund. The closure of the iron hammer mill in Kleinboden in 1870 meant a major economic setback for Uderns.

There was also a well-known oil distillery in the village.
