Geography

History
editUnterperfuss became its own tax municipality in 1780. In the cadastre of that time, eleven houses are listed, ten of which were farms that were subject to the Stams monastery. There were also two mills and a sawmill. Forests are mentioned as community property, which were reserved for water protection structures on the Inn and Melach rivers. The family names at that time were Härtnagl, Mayr, Maizner, Wolf, Schiz, Hofer, Schaffenrath, Klaisner, Pranger and Fiz.
