[edit]

Shortly before 800 AD Breitenbach has been mentioned as "Mensalpfarre" for the monk's cell in Kufstein, the parish church of St. Peter is one of the oldest churches in Tyrol. Breitenbach is one of three Freising's "Urpfarren" in Tyrol. Breitenbach occurs relatively late on documents, for the first time in 1157 as a parish of the panel Kanonikerstift St. Andrae in Freising. The original boundaries of the ancient and mother parish Breitenbach include the areas of the parishes Brandenberg, Steinberg, Mariatal, Voldöpp and Mosen (Kramsach), all of which until 1891 was eliminated permanently from this association. 739-1818 of the Inn formed by the confluence of the Habach (between Munster and Kramsach) to Kufstein, the boundary between the territory of the Archdiocese of Salzburg in the right and that of Freising on the left bank of the river. With the ecclesiastical territorial division was accompanied by the secular and more than 900 years, from the Bavarian land acquisition by the year 1504, Breitenbach shared the fortunes of the Duchy of Bavaria.

Breitenbach was originally a purely agricultural village which largely provided itself. What was needed, and was not available in the local area, was delivered by ship on the river Inn. That there is also a "Schopper establishment" was (repair shop for Innschiffe) in Breitenbach proves is still the name "Schopper host". In the years around 1860, resulting on the south side of the Inn Railway caused a tremendous economic development, was initially excluded from the Breitenbach because of the absence of a bridge. If you wanted to get from Breitenbach on the other river side to Kundl, so it was only a "Überfuhr" (ferry). In 1894, the council negotiations to build a bridge, and in 1896 it was opened. The municipality Breitenbach is within its limits since the mid-19th Century and is located next to the main village of Breitenbach through the wide scatter location of their hamlet.
