KNOWLEDGE OF Rattenberg
Rattenberg, Austria is a town near Rat Mountain and Innsbruck. With a population of 440, it is the smallest town in the country.
Founded in the 1300s, it was built in the literal shadow of Rat Mountain to protect itself from marauders.
The protection, however, comes at a price. Like an estimated 60 other communities nested in the Tyrol region of the Alps, Rattenberg receives little-to-no sunlight during the winter.
In November of 2005, the town announced they were building 30 specialized rotating mirrors called heliostats to reflect sunlight into parts of the town during the winter months. The $2.4 million operation was suggested by Bartenbach Lichtlabor GmbH, a lighting design company. The EU plans to foot half the bill as of November of 2005.
