History

Oberndorf was as a suburb of the city situated on the left bank running initially for Salzburggau of the Duchy of Bavaria. The archbishops of Salzburg were able to acquire the territory of the later Rupertiwinkels in the 13th century. 1275 Salzburg's western border was confirmed to Chiemgau by the Landshut Duke. Thus, the replacement of the State of Salzburg from the mother country began Bavaria. In 1328, Salzburg was then made by the issuing of an order to the country's own largely independent state. With the Treaty of Munich in 1816 was running along with the Rupertiwinkel separated from Salzburg and Bavaria slammed, Oberndorf became Austrian and thus the frontier town between the Kingdom of Bavaria and Austria.

In the 19th century went through the building of the railroad until then important for the salt trade Salzach shipping always go back. 1866, the last salt transport took place.

The place existed until the end of the 19th century a few houses at the bend of the river Salzach, where today meets the old road to the Schöffleutgasse, as well as some houses further downstream along the present shore road. At least since 1278, there were approximately where today is the Europe bridge, a wooden Trestle over the Salzach river. She joined the City and the Lower Mountain Gate in running with the foot of Calvary in Oberndorf. Over the centuries suffered running and especially the low-lying Oberndorf under floods that damaged the bridge or completely destroyed over and over again, so in the years 1314, 1508, 1567, 1598, 1786 and 1787. In August 1896 tore an exceptionally high flood again a portion of the bridge away. Even during the planning for an elevated iron arch bridge, it came on 31 July and 1 August 1897 a flood that exceeded the last one meter and not only tore away the provisionally repaired wooden bridge again, but the current plans for the new bridge had become obsolete. They finally agreed to build a bridge even higher up than the flood of 13 and 14 September 1899 exceeded all previously registered marks and the final plans for a higher bridge made for waste. This flood exceeded the access roads to the existing bridge by two to three meters and damaged or destroyed nearly all the buildings in Oberndorf, including the late baroque church of St. Nicholas.

Decision was therefore made to build a bridge at its present location, an idea that had been thwarted by the opposition of both communities. There, the terrain was high enough so that the access roads could be used for highly water-free. During the construction of the new bridge, the previous upper village was largely abandoned and torn down and built a new space including a new church at the new bridge.

In April 2001, the market Oberndorf became a town.
