history

Fuhrn is one of the oldest localities in the district. Your name does not allow any German interpretation. An origin from the South Slavic is possible, as a place that is very exposed to the wind, Sturmplatz. Fuhrn was mentioned in writing as early as 1031 under the name Furdona. As Vogt of the Sankt Emmeram monastery in Regensburg , the Duke of Bavaria was in charge of the church in Fuhrn. The St. Emmeram monastery owned 10 acres in Fuhrn in 1100 with an income of 10 Schilling Pfennigs. This area is still called monastery fields in Fuhrn today. Fuhrn belonged to the ducal Auerbach in 1283 . In 1433 it was registered as a parish in the Regensburg diocesan register. Fuhrn was a parish earlier than Kemnath ; it was, so to speak, the mother parish of Kemnath. In 1675 the parishes of Kemnath and Fuhrn were merged and Fuhrn lost its independence.

On March 3, 1913, Fuhrn was the branch of the parish Kemnath bei Fuhrn, consisted of 26 houses and had 152 inhabitants. On December 31, 1990 Fuhrn had 141 inhabitants and was the branch of the parish of Kemnath near Fuhrn.
