History
Early history
The area was first settled by Celts, then by Rhaetians. Rome conquered the area in 15 BC, and made it part of the
province of Rhaetia. The Province later became a county (countship) under Charlemagne. The county was repeatedly
divided among heirs.
The Lordship of Schellenberg was purchased by the Counts of Vaduz in 1437 and the two states have been united in
fact ever since. After the Swabian War in 1499, both came under Austrian suzerainty. Different dynasties of counts
bought and sold them, until their purchase in the early 18th century by the Liechtenstein dynasty, which had been
granted princely status in 1706, but which needed to acquire a territory with imperial immediacy in order to vote in
the Diet of the Princes of the Empire. The emperor formally united Vaduz and Schellenberg in 1719 as the
Principality of Liechtenstein.
World War II
In the municipality, there is a monument at the border town of Hinterschellenberg that commemorates the asylum
given to Russian soldiers.[5]
At the close of World War II, Liechtenstein granted asylum to approximately five
hundred soldiers of the First Russian National Army, a collaborationist Russian force within the German
Wehrmacht. This act was no small matter as the country was poor and had difficulty feeding and caring for such a
large group of refugees. Eventually, Argentina agreed to resettle the asylum seekers permanently. In contrast, the
British repatriated the Russians who fought on the German side to the USSR.
Transport
In Schellenberg, there is a small road crossing to Austria, manned by Austrian, Swiss border guards.
