History

Although it is not exactly clear where the name of the village comes from, the location was first mentioned as “Phunzun” in 1030 and later as “Phanes” in 1177. Formerly a part of Matrei am Brenner, Pfons was declared as independent in 1811. On 1 January 2022 Pfons and Mühlbachl were merged into the municipality of Matrei am Brenner.^[3]
