Anif

 town, commune - administrative division

It is located at the southern city limits of Salzburg. It is one of the smallest municipalities of Salzburg by area. As of 2011, the population is 4,000.
A "church near Anif" in the Duchy of Bavaria was already mentioned in the 788 Congestum Arnonis register by Bishop Arno of Salzburg. The name is probably of Celtic origin and dates back to the Hallstatt era. For centuries the village belonged to the Archbishopric of Salzburg.
In 1782, the Brothers Grimm recorded from the Brixener Volksbuch a local tale about a peasant and a Wild-woman (Wilde Frau).[2] Anif as a village became a municipality in its own right, when it with neighbouring Niederalm was separated from the village of Grödig on 17 July 1884. Later on a third part was established, Neu Anif.
Today it is one the most affluent southern Salzburg suburbs. The main employer is a Sony DADC manufacturing plant at Niederalm.
