The property Fürberg, at that time “Property in Renzenwinkel“, was first mentioned 1350 in the documents. The name "Fürperger" is already found around the year 1500 in a deed of ownership.

Fishery

In 1579 the former owner “Bartlme Fürperger von dem Christoffen Khirchpichler zu S. Gilling” has founded the legislation for fishing, which is since then bound to the property in continuing order. Little by little the legislation for fishery was increased by additional purchase of other rights for fishing until today’s dimension of 450 hectares (that’s about a third of the Wolfgangsee).

Licensed house

In 1708 the owner Matthias Haas has received the permission to maintain a “pier and Prantweinschank“. Therefore Fürberg is an inn since more than 300 years. At this time it was only allowed to serve “Lueger beer” and “he import from beer of St. Wolfgang or from abroad was strictly forbidden”.

Turn of the century

In 1897 when the first summer guests came to the countryside, a villa for guests was build.
In 1904 the inn was rebuilt and at this time St. Gilgen experienced its first great prosperity of tourism. Now the house was completely renovated and spangled by a sun-flooded veranda. The stable was redesigned into a housing unit and not only a modern outbuilding, but also a new boathouse were opened.

Modern times

In 1988 the hotel Fürberg was taken over by Karin and Bernhard Ebner. The advancement of a family-run company with an ambient and individual atmosphere is our greatest desire.
In 1989 the small carriage house "Pauline" was built.
In 1993/1994 the last big alteration of the eastern part of the main building was adapted.
In 1998 we began with the design of our today's two lecture rooms.
In 1999/2000 our dining-hall was renewed.
In 2001/2002 the kitchen was generously altered.
In 2005/2006 the rooms and bathrooms in the guesthouse were completely new equipped.
