little chronicle
The oldest prehistoric finds in the region come from Högl in the municipality of Ainring and are ascribed to the Younger Stone Age (around 2500 to 2000 BC), while other prehistoric finds date from the Bronze Age. The first settlement by Celts is related to the salt production in Bad Reichenhall and the transport of salt on the Salzach, under the Romans the whole region with the Salzburg area belonged to the province of "Noricum".
Today's Rupertiwinkel has been part of the Bavarian tribal duchy since the 6th century under the Agilolfingers and emerged as a region with an independent name in the late 13th and early 14th centuries from the former administrative areas of the Salzburg nursing courts for the individual villages. The Rupertiwinkel was then under the spiritual and secular rule of the Salzburg archbishops for many centuries and was of great importance due to the important waterway of the Salzach. The region only came to Austria as a result of the Congress of Vienna and with the reorganization of Europe in 1805 and then to the new Kingdom of Bavaria from 1810, but it still has strong cultural ties to this day Salzburg area.
From an administrative point of view, the Rupertiwinkel corresponds to the district office of Laufen from 1862 and to the district of Laufen from 1939. In the Bavarian territorial reform of 1972, the district of Laufen was dissolved and the northern part of the districts Traunstein and Altoetting and the southern to the county Berchtesgadener Land allocated.
