History

Our inn in Lammersdorf stands on a site with deep roots. People lived here thousands of years ago, leaving traces of their daily lives. Archaeological findings show that this location was already inhabited in the Neolithic period (approx. 3000–1900 BC).

 

At Mentebichl / Schanzkogel, near Lammersdorf, remains such as stone fragments, flint blades, arrowheads, a pottery spinning wheel and traces of dwelling pits and hearths have been found.

 

In 1957, during work on the building that now serves as our hotel and restaurant, a remarkable grave was uncovered. Inside were fragments of an urn and stone axes from the early Urnenfelderzeit (circa 1400 BC). This discovery demonstrates that the original settlement moved over time from the hills around Mentebichl to the lower areas near the stream and fields.

 

Although no direct Roman finds have been made in Lammersdorf itself, it is assumed that an old connecting road, possibly a Roman route between Turracher Höhe and Teurnia, ran nearby. Its location near water, fields, and trade routes has always made Lammersdorf an attractive place to settle.
