Since the early Middle Ages, the area was part of the Salzburggau within the Bavarian stem duchy. Already about 700 Duke Theodo of Bavaria granted the village of Piding to Bishop Rupert. Due to the fertile soils west of the Salzach River, the archbishops in the following centuries aspired to enlarge their possessions. In 1125 the Höglwörth Abbey was founded, a Canons Regular monastery near Anger. In the course of the elevation of Salzburg to a Prince-archbishopric, the episcopal territory was acknowledged by Duke Louis II of Bavaria in 1275.
From the early 14th century, the Rupertiwinkel formed the western part of the Salzburg Flachgau region. The archbishops made Palace Staufeneck an episcopal residence; in the north, Tittmoning Castle was rebuilt as a border fortress. When the prince-archbishopric was secularised in 1803, the last Prince-Archbishop Count Hieronymus von Colloredo was replaced by Ferdinand III of Habsburg-Lorraine, former Grand Duke of Tuscany, who went on to rule as Elector of Salzburg until 1806. With Salzburg, the territory passed to the Austrian Empire thereafter. In the wake of the Vienna Congress, Austria and Bavaria finally agreed in 1816 to make the course of the Salzach the border between their lands.
Though the population of the Rupertiwinkel stresses its social and cultural distinctiveness (especially in folk music and Tracht costumes), the region became a constituent part of the Bavarian state. When after World War II the Salzburg state administration demanded an affiliation with Austria, the claims were strongly rejected.
