Many centuries ago Weerberg was largely populated by farmers, artisans and people mainly devoted to small local
trades with the nearest settlements, a simple life, working hard in a calm
environment.

That period corresponded to a notable start-up with different activities related to that relevant resource with a notable enlargement of commercial operations and the development of new communications.
That productive source later made the fortune of the House of Habsburg which thanks to that increased its
prestige and prosperity in an already very wealthy Empire.
Despite that part of the historic
stages of the former village were also extremely linked to the Duchy of Bavaria
protagonist of numerous disputes and clashes with that influential
Imperial power with centuries highlighted by claims, treaties, diatribes regarding unclear borders with the desire of expansion and influences from both sides.
In many occasions those events were characterised by tense situations ending in battles and wars also due to the presence of those silver mines.
For those reasons Weerberg suffered changes of rulers with those two contenders always establishing a very marked traditional feudalistic system favouring wealthy local lords who frequently governed not just villages or small agglomerations but entire counties and provinces.

The current site after all those ups and downs was incorporated
before in the Austro-Hungarian Empire and after the First World War when
that Monarchy ceased to exist integrated in the Österreicher Republik,
the present Republic of Austria.
For a brief period in more contemporary
times it was also a part of Germany during the times of the Third Reich with
that notorious event corresponding to the Anschluss Österreichs determining the
annexation of the entire Austrian territories in 1938 during the times of
Hitler re-taking its independence after the Second World War.
The town is subdivided in three
specific areas, the first is called Mitterweerberg representing
the centre and beating heart of the municipality, Innerweerberg consisting in a sort of
belt and main
hallway leading to Aussweeberg which is the territorial area
corresponding to the extra radius of that attractive municipality.
The local core is mainly developed
around Mitterberg, a long road which from south west to east crosses the
entire boundaries while Kirchgasse is the main entrance and exit
in its northern side leading to Sankt Peter Kirche, the Church dedicated to St.
Peter.
Another important artery is Wiesenhofweg,
the main street lying in the southernmost side while another one called
Feldergasse is a further relevant axis of communication starting from
Mitterberg continuing along its course towards the northern suburbs.
One of the local historic highlights
is undoubtedly Rablhaus, an iconic site from where you can start the
visit.

shows some of those typical details in use in the Middle Ages as a traditional gable roof height and size
of a design used in the Alpine Regions and Central Europe established between the 13th and early 15th centuries.
After several restorations it was largely modified in the 18th century and due to the usual and predominant style adopted in that period it took a traditional Baroque aspect.
That work was led by the architect Franz De Paula Penz.a talented artist from Navis who also elevated the famous Wiltener Basilika of Innsbruck, the Kirche der Congregatio Jesu at Bressanone in the Italian Alto Adige and many other stunning works all around the Tyrol.

peaks of the Tuxer Alpen that range of mountains encircling Weerberg.

metres on its summit is highlighted by the presence of a
