background
The Zwischenentorental was settled from the Allgäu, which is easy to recognize from the names of the two hamlets:
Wengle is derived from the Old High German "Wang" for field and from the dialect z’Wengle. The place belonged to the monastery in the Middle Ages Vineyard.
The former hamlet of "de Mittewald" was destroyed by an avalanche in 1456, rebuilt at a new location as Lähn (= avalanche), and also destroyed there in 1689 by an avalanche. Until 1816 Lähn formed the border between the dioceses of Augsburg and Brixen.
From an administrative point of view, Lähn and Wengle are now districts of the municipality Bichlbach.
