Geography

Schröcken is in the Austrian Alps, at an altitude of 1,269 meters. 12.4% of the area are forested, 39.4% Alpine area.

History

The region around Schröcken was first populated around 1300 CE by German-speaking people known as the Walser, who came to Austria in from the Bernese Oberland (highlands) located in the southern part of the Canton of Bern, Switzerland. The town became part of a regional administrative area called Tannberg in 1806. From 1805 to 1814, the town was under the jurisdiction of the Free State of Bavaria. Later it reverted to become part of the Austro-Hungarian Habsburg Empire, and in 1861 was integrated into the newly founded state of Vorarlberg, Austria. From 1945 to 1955, Schröcken was part of the French occupation zone in Austria.

Name

The original name was "Girsboden". "Schröcken" first appeared in the early 17th century.
