Kitzbühel then and now...
From the Middle Ages, silver and copper deposits allowed the town of Kitzbühel and its surroundings to flourish through mining. As a border town of the Duchy of Bavaria, Kitzbühel's strategic importance increased, which led to its elevation to town status by Duke Ludwig II on June 6, 1271. The town wall, which still forms Kitzbühel's town center today, was subsequently built with the preserved Jochberger Gate and Kirchberger Gate. With the expansion of the railway network in 1875, the economic boom returned as summer resorts became more popular. In 1909, under the leadership of Mayor Franz Reisch, the mud bath was built in the spa park. The Schwarzsee water, with its therapeutic healing effect on rheumatic diseases, skin and gynecological ailments, was pumped from the Schwarzsee directly into the bathing area through a specially built water pipe. This was another milestone for Kitzbühel and tourism at the time. You can find out more about the history of the region in the Kitzbühel Museum.

The old town, laid out in the Middle Ages, with its late Gothic facades, Gothic churches and baroque works of art impressively demonstrate the economic and cultural prosperity associated with mining for silver and copper in the early modern and baroque periods. They stand for a long urban tradition and urban awareness that can hardly be found anywhere else in the Alps and that contribute significantly to the unmistakable charm of the 750-year-old Kitzbühel.
