history

Forsthaus, former hammer smithy
Working set of SKLB on the newly built bridge Weissbach, 1890

The settlement core of the place is at the back in the Weißenbachau. A hammer mill was built there in the 1790s by the prince archbishops . In the 1830s, however, the operation was stopped again, and until 1990 the Strobl Forestry Administration of the kk Forstarkars, later Austrian Federal Forests, was here . The late baroque main building, the workers' house (Weißenbach No. 1), is a listed building.

Otherwise, in the early 19th century, there were only about a dozen farmsteads and a total of around 30 houses here. The development of the area only starts with the summer break and the Ischlerbahn (Salzkammergut-Lokalbahn, SKLB) , which ran along the old Poststrasse. The first section of the Bad Ischl Localbahnhof - Strobl building was opened on August 5, 1890. Weissenbach - so the spelling at the time - had its own stop. By the turn of the century, the number of houses had doubled to 100 in 20 years. In 1957 the Ischlerbahn was stopped and the route was dismantled. A second stage of development began in the 1970s, when Weissenbach became an alternative residential area as well as a commercial and industrial area on the B158 for the up-and-coming area of ​​the Wolfgangsee / Ischl region.
