History & character
From Celtic Settlement to Border Community
The area of Bergheim has been settled since the late Paleolithic period, as evidenced by findings at Muntiglerhügel. The Celts settled the region in the 1st century BC, followed by the Romans in 15 BC. From this period, Roman estates in Kerath and Kemating still exist. Around 650, the Bavarians began settling the area, and the name Bergheim is likely derived from this time. The first documented mention dates back to 927. In the 12th and 13th centuries, Bergheim held a significant position but was managed multiple times over the centuries and was owned by the Archdiocese of Salzburg by the end of the 14th century. The destruction during the Napoleonic Wars and the transition to Austria in 1816 shaped the town's history. Today, Bergheim is a quiet community with a population of 5,790, directly bordering the state capital Salzburg and characterized by the Plainberg and the pilgrimage site of Maria Plain.

Where trees or woody vegetation grow, from satellite imagery (Copernicus, 5 m, 2021 data). There is no tree register like Salzburg’s here, the satellite view still shows the real green.

Check the light anywhere. Type an address or click the map, pick a floor and drag through the day. The buildings cast their real shadows. Pan the map to explore.

Real building heights (OpenStreetMap footprints with heights from the BEV laser scan), sun hours and shadows from sun position and geometry. How much of it reaches you also depends on orientation and windows. Terrain is included, from the official elevation model out to 12 km: a mountain to the south takes the winter sun just as the house opposite does. Where the sun only grazes a ridge, the figure remains an approximation. At the foot of the Mönchsberg and Kapuzinerberg this weighs heavily: in winter both sit at 25 to 28 degrees, higher than the sun ever climbs there (just under 19).
