History
In ancient times, the area around Bramberg was a copper-ore mining center. Belonging to the municipality Leitengut, Bramberg was mentioned in 925 as the oldest parish in the upper Salzachtal river valley and in 1160 was named as "Prentenperige" for the first time. The mining was taken up again in 1829 and finally abandoned in 1863. Attempts at mining again in the 20th century later failed.
Also the famous emerald mines in Habachtal, alongside Norway and Italy, are the only emerald mine locations in Europe.
Coat of arms
The crest shows: "In blue two towering battlements of silver, and at the sign above the left edge of offensive. From the right side of the higher pinnacle comes a golden horse. "It is a representation of the old war-horse Fjuri of the Knight Bart from Küniglberg. The horse was, in 1376, ridden after a wild night with Knight Bart in the Wildkogel area, and by a miracle, after several days and then plated back to one of the richest gold mines in the Hohe Tauern. The Knight Bart, however, was never seen again.
