The Romanic population from Schaan and Vaduz had already cleared the area of the village before the Walser migrated there in the 13th century and started clearing the upper parts of the municipality. The first documented naming was in the year 1361. The village was looted twice, first by the Swiss in 1499 when they campaigned against Frastanz and in 1799 by the French when they ousted the Austrian forces during the Napoleonic Wars.In 1868 the village was connected to the rest of Liechtenstein via road, making it reachable for bigger carriages. After a great conflagration in 1869 an exodus hit the village; in 1901 just 56 inhabitants remained. The situation improved due to a land reform from 1961 to 1981 and an enlargement of infrastructure.Politics
The community leader since 2007 is Rainer Beck (VU). In the 2015 regional elections, he received 67.3% of the valid votes.In the communal council, four seats are held by FBP and three by VU.WEB,weblink Gemeindewahlen Liechtenstein, www.gemeindewahlen.li, 2019-05-18,Sights
Its most notable structure is an eighteenth-century chapel St. Josef, which belongs to the parish of Schaan. It is supposed to have been built in 1761 and in 1861 a tower was added that contains a bell from 1724. 1929 Prince Franz I. founded the chapel's three baroque revival altars. It was then redesigned in 1955 under the supervision of architect Felix Schmid of Rapperswil.BOOK, Die Kunstdenkmäler des Fürstentums Liechtenstein, Herrmann, Cornelia, 2007, 409â411,Notable people
