Geography
[edit]Oberperfuss is located in the Inn Valley about 15 km west of Innsbruck, on a low mountain terrace opposite Grinzens, at the entrance to the Sellrain Valley.
History
[edit]The name Oberperfuss was first mentioned as Oberenperues in a 1083 deed, when Norbert, Bishop of Chur, donated land to the Bavarian Habach convent.[3] According to the Inn valley tax book of 1312, about 300 inhabitants from the farming class lived in Oberperfuss at that time, plus craftsmen and wage laborers. Around the year 1600 there were probably already about 800 inhabitants. According to the last census in 2001, 2712 people lived in the community. The majority of the inhabitants commute, especially to the provincial capital Innsbruck.
