Geography

History

Neolithical finds, show that nomadic hunter-gatherers lived in the region at least temporarily. Celtic Boii and Varisci people settled in the region in pre-Christian times. After conflicts with the Pannonian Avars, slavs are presumed to have moved to region in the 8th century. The Slavic roots of the village name Kulm is a reminder of this. In the 9th century a further wave of bavarian immigrants moved there. In 1245 a document from Passau mentioned a man named "Dominus Karolus de Alkenperge". 3 years later, another document from Passau mentioned the village. This time as "Altenperge".[4]
