Bindermichl-Keferfeld

Bindermichl-Keferfeld was founded in 2014 by the merger of the former districts of Bindermichl, Keferfeld and Bergern. The name of the district is derived from the former Bindermichl farm and the name of the Keferfeld estate. Bindermichl was originally referenced as “Pintenmichel” in 1382, which translates to “barrel Michael”. The name comes from a tavern that once stood on the farm grounds. Keferfeld was initially documented as “Keverfelt” in 1447, meaning “field of beetles”. The name refers to the number of insects present in the area.
