Although most people of the Pinzgau region are no longer farmers, the Pinzgau region is dominated by the farming attitude of the local people. Most of the people have been living here for centuries, cultivating the land in the valley and on the mountains.

Over the centuries, the "Limberggut" has always been owned by hard-working farmers. The farm "Lintberch" belonged to Count Rapozo until 1228, which was leased to him by the Archbishop of Salzburg.

He handed over the farm to the Monastery Högelwört in Bavaria - founded by the Count of Plain - which ruled the county of Pinzgau until 1228. The farms were not run by the monastery itself, but by ancestral estate farmers who had to pay the lease in money or agricultural produce.

The original names of the first owners of the ancestral estate Limberghof are not known. The "Limberger" branch - who gave their name to the Limbergalm in Kaprun - died out in 1600. Since 1654 - historically proven - the farm has always belonged to the Dürlinger family - a traditional Pinzgau family, which originally came from "Dürling in der Glem". One of the ancestors was Vik. Josef Dürlinger (1805 - 1867), who wrote the well-known "Pinzgau Chronik", also known as the "Dürlinger Chronik".
