It was erected on May 27, 1984, by the local beautification society. The initial design was created by Hannes Haslecker in 1967, and the second by Professor Max Stockenhuber in 1981. Timber rafting was formerly an important economic factor in the Attersee region.

The Pile Dwelling Adventure at Lake Attersee. Since June 2011, we are delighted that three of the submerged pile-dwelling villages in Lake Attersee have been declared UNESCO World Heritage Sites. From the Neolithic period to the Bronze Age, our ancestors lived here and built their villages on piles. In total, 111 settlements have been recognized as World Heritage sites in Austria, Switzerland, Germany, France, Slovenia, and Italy. In addition to our three treasures on Lake Attersee – Litzlberg South, Abtsdorf 1 and 3 – we also find the settlement of See am Mondsee and an island in Lake Keutschacher See, which have received this distinction. Would you like to immerse yourself in the lives of the first settlers? Or are you interested in life in the Stone Age? Then you can follow in the footsteps of Ötzi and turn back the clock with a pile-dwelling guide. Be inspired and discover the exciting history of our region around Lake Attersee!
