Westendorf: New mountain rescue home opened-a look at history!

Westendorf, Österreich - Today, on May 29, 2025, a significant decision with far -reaching effects for the population and the entire region will be announced in the small community of Westendorf. The municipal council recently decided to establish a new staff house, which is not only of central importance for the employees of the community, but is also intended to serve as a contact point for numerous local institutions. This is an important step for strengthening social cohesion in the region.

Westendorf, historically mentioned for the first time in 1234, has developed over the centuries. Historical finds from the Bronze Age show the settlement activities in this region, with remarkable artifacts in the Ferdinandeum State Museum are exhibited. In Roman times, Westendorf belonged to the province of Noricum before it went through numerous political and administrative changes. In the time of the Middle Ages, Westendorf experienced a heyday, among other things due to the regional mining that flourished in the 16th century.

historical roots and development

The historical roots of Westendorf are deeply anchored. Far back artifacts show that this area was already populated during the Bronze Age. During construction work in 1926, even fire graves were discovered, which were, however, endangered and were partially destroyed. Historical documents indicate that the first farms of the region can be dated until the 11th and 12th centuries, and the Church of St. Nikolaus was first mentioned in 1320. The influence of the Archdiocese of Salzburg, which acquired the area in 1385 by a purchase contract, is also an important part of local history.

An important event of recent times was the foundation of a new mountain rescue home on April 12, 2025, which not only benefits the local emergency services, but also represents an important contact point for tourists and hikers. Such initiatives are crucial for promoting the tourist infrastructure in the Kitzbüheler Alps and contribute to the safety of visitors.
