Kratzera is a quiet residential and agricultural area in the municipality of Gamprin-Bendern, distinguished by its proximity to the Rhine dam. The settlement is located in the fertile plain of the Liechtenstein lowlands and was historically dominated by farming and livestock breeding. Due to its low elevation near the Rhine, the area was frequently threatened by floods in past centuries, a challenge only permanently solved by extensive Rhine corrections and dam construction in the 19th and 20th centuries. Today, modern single-family homes and well-kept gardens characterize the area, while adjacent lands continue to be used intensively for arable farming. Kratzera provides direct access to the popular walking and cycling paths along the Rhine, which lead all the way to the Austrian border. The combination of rural idyll and proximity to the economic hubs of Bendern makes this area a favored residential location for commuters and families.
