The locality was mentioned for the first time officially on 13 June 1077 in a deed of donation, where the Holy Roman Emperor Henry IV. handed over the town to Altwin, the Bishop of Brixen.[citation needed]
According to the 2011 census, 94.66% of the population speak German, 5.19% Italian and 0.14% Ladin as first language.[4]
