Rattenberg was first mentioned in documents in 1254 and was granted town status in 1393. As one of the few towns in Europe that has retained its medieval townscape almost in its entirety, it offers a very special atmosphere.

Glass processing in Rattenberg dates back to the 19th century. At that time, individual glass refiners settled here near the Kramsach glassworks, which looked back on a 300-year tradition. Today, a dozen glass refining companies underline Rattenberg's reputation as the “glass city of Tyrol.”
