Rattenberg lies between the rocks and the Inn river at the foot of a 10th century castle. The town formerly served as a transshipment point for goods shipped along the Inn and as a customs post on the border between Tyrol and Bavaria. The historic center is built in the Inn-Salzach style and is now a pedestrian zone. Rattenberg was first mentioned in documents in 1254 as Ratinberch. It may be a shortened form of the personal name Radolt or Ratpot – a name frequently used by the Counts of Andechs, who were wealthy in this area. It is uncertain whether a Ratpotenberg, attested in the 12th century, also refers to this place. In 1393, the town was elevated to Bavarian town status. Protected by the castle, the town developed along the road between the Inn and the town hill. A wall and a moat in the east enclosed the town. The South Tyrolean Road, leading east, forms the center and acts as a kind of town square. After flooding, the town was raised several times.

Until the Landshut War of Succession, Rattenberg was politically part of Bavaria. In 1505, with the Cologne Award, which ended the war, Maximilian I secured, through negotiations, possession of the towns of Rattenberg, Kufstein, and Kitzbühel, along with the surrounding area, formerly part of Bavaria-Ingolstadt and later of Bavaria-Landshut. However, until the 19th century, the Landrecht (land rights) of Emperor Ludwig the Bavarian still applied in these territories. In 1514, the Bavarian Duke William IV and his younger brother settled their inheritance in Rattenberg. In 1805, all of Tyrol passed to Bavaria, and during the Tyrolean uprising, the Bavarian officer Wilhelm von Metzen committed suicide in a sensational incident in 1809 in Rattenberg. In 2013, the town area was placed under monument protection. This makes Rattenberg the second town ensemble in Tyrol after Hall and the 30th in Austria.
