Oberndorf with the old town center Altach was until 1816 a suburb of today's Bavarian city To run. Until then, the area was on the left (west) of the Salzach (today: Rupertiwinkel) Been part of Salzburg. After the separation, the community continued to develop and became the seat of a district court in the 19th century. The town, which was raised to the status of a municipality in 2000, has been cultivating particularly intensive contacts with the neighboring town, especially since the state borders were loosened with the Schengen Agreement. In terms of tourism, Oberndorf presents itself as Silent Night Church, because it was here in 1818 that the famous Christmas carol was first performed publicly on December 24th.
