History
The Habsburgs reigned over their Vorarlberg lands alternately from Tyrol and Further Austria. From 1805 to 1814 the municipality belonged to Bavaria, then again to Austria. In 1861 it became part of the Austrian Federal State of Vorarlberg. During World War II, a subcamp of Dachau concentration camp was located here.[1] Between 1945 and 1955 the municipality was part of the French occupation zone.
