history

Towards the end of the Middle Ages Almos belonged to the Electoral Palatinate Office of Betzenstein. During the Landshut War of Succession , among other things, the Betzensteiner territory was occupied by the troops of the imperial city of Nuremberg and this occupation was contractually recognized by the Electoral Palatinate after lengthy negotiations. As a result of this contract, the Hiltpoltstein nursing office in Nuremberg held the highest jurisdiction over Almos, but not the village and community rulership . This continued to be exercised by the Electoral Palatinate, so that the place remained under their sovereignty and formed an enclave within the Hiltpoltsteiner Nursing Office. In essence, nothing changed when the Upper Palatinate was handed over as a fief to the curbs after the ostracism of the Palatinate Elector Friedrich V (the so-called Winter King) . For Almos, this meant that village and community rulership was now exercised by the Bavarian district judge Schnaittach , so that sovereignty over the place changed to another Wittelsbach line . In the following period these conditions remained largely unchanged until Almos was handed over to the Prussian Ansbach-Bayreuth in 1803 in accordance with the conditions agreed in the main state border and purification comparison with the Kingdom of Prussia . It thus became part of the Eschenau Street District , a fragmentary corridor that connected the two geographically separated parts of this territory via a military road. After the Prussian defeat in the Fourth Coalition War , the village and the entire Principality of Bayreuth were placed under a military administration set up by the French Empire in 1807 . With the acquisition of this principality by the Kingdom of Bavaria in 1810 , Almos became Bavarian again.

Due to the administrative reforms at the beginning of the 19th century in the Kingdom of Bavaria, Almos became part of the independent rural community of Schossaritz with the Second Community Edict in 1818 . 1829, the community Schossaritz joined at his own request the municipality Großenohe on to the next to the eponymous town and the two villages Kappel and Kemmathen and the desert Spies mill belonged. The thereby enlarged community bore the name Kappel. In the course of the municipal territorial reform in Bavaria in the 1970s, Almos was incorporated into the Hiltpoltstein market together with the entire municipality of Kappel in 1978. In 2019 Almos had 85 inhabitants.

traffic
