Breitenwang is a municipality and village in the district of Reutte in the Austrian state of Tyrol.
Breitenwang is located in the Reutte basin adjacent to the city on the Plansee and is closely interwoven with this community infrastructural. The cluster village consists of the districts Breitenwang, Lähn, Mühl, Neumühl and Plansee. Part of the Plansee belongs to the municipality, in which the Archbach springs from the Plansee.
Breitenwang has only two neighboring communities: Heiterwang in the south and Reutte in the west, north and east.
Breitenwang was first mentioned as "Breitinwanc" or "Breitenwanch" in 1094, when Duke Welf IV and his wife Judith transferred their possession to the welfische Hauskloster Altdorf-Weingarten. Originally larger and more significant than Reutte, this changed with the straightening of the course of the main road. From there, the place lost importance.
Emperor Lothar III. died in Breitenwang on December 4, 1137, on his return from Italy (second Romzug).[1]
