Eastward of Kundl some cremation graves with other remains were found which dated from theLa Tène Culture and are now publicly exhibited in the Landesmuseum Ferdinandeum in Innsbruck.
Kundl was first mentioned in a directory by bishopArno of Salzburg in 788 under the namead Quantalas, which meansat the white river. This should also be the origin of the current name of the market town. In 1213 the noble line of the Kummersbrucker resided in the fortress of Kundl, of which nowadays only the ruins remain. In the 15th and 16th century the mining gained importance and some current street names (e.g.Hüttstraße,Schieferrollstraße) still bear evidence of that.
In 1658 Bartlmä Plank founded abrewery which produced theKundler Bier. This brewery was converted into a pharmaceutical plant, theBiochemie Kundl, in 1946 nowadaysSandoz.
Due to the settlements of several companies in the 1950s, the village became a commuter community. The most well- known companies in Kundl are probably the pharmaceutical companySandoz (former:Biochemie), the tractor factoryLindner and the timber factory Pfeifer.
In the summer a lot of tourists visit Kundl and stroll through the picturesque gorge of Kundl, in German calledKundler Klamm, which connects Kundl with the valley ofWildschoenau.
