Schellenberg (German pronunciation: [ˈʃɛlənˌbɛʁk] ⓘ; dialectal: Schällabärg)[2] is a municipality in the lowland area of Liechtenstein, on the banks of the Rhine.

Different dynasties of counts bought and sold them, until their purchase in the early 18th century by the Liechtenstein dynasty, which had been granted princely status in 1706, but which needed to acquire a territory with imperial immediacy in order to vote in the Diet of the Princes of the Empire.

This act was no small matter, as the country was poor and had difficulty feeding and caring for such a large group of refugees.

[8] Schellenberg territory borders with the Liechtensteiner municipalities of Eschen, Gamprin, Mauren and Ruggell.

[9] In Schellenberg there is a small road crossing to Austria, manned by Austrian and Swiss border guards.
