The place is located in the Bavarian Forest at an altitude of almost 800 m and is surrounded by forests.
history
The history of the village can be traced back to a hunter's house, which was documented in 1724. The man living there is said to have understood how to grow good oats ("Howa"), so that all farmers from the area came to get seeds from him. The linguistic place name Howareit is derived from "reuten" for clearing . The surrounding trees were cleared and burned. "Howa" ( oats ) were grown on the resulting areas . The ash obtained from the slash and burn was used in the manufacture of glass in a nearby glassworks.
The Annathal community was dissolved in 1945 or 1946. Their area was divided between the communities of Mauth and Philippsreut . While Annathal was incorporated into Mauth, the villages of Mitterfirmiansreut and Hinterfirmiansreut , also belonging to the municipality of Annathal, came to Philippsreut.
